What is Evolution?

“We began as a mineral.
We emerged into plant life, and into the animal state, and then into being human, and always we have forgotten our former states, except in early spring when we slightly recall being green again.
That’s how a young person turns towards a teacher.
That’s how a baby leans toward the breast, without knowing the secret of its desire, yet turning instinctively.
Humankind is being led along an evolving course, through the migration of intelligences, and though we seem to be sleeping, there is an inner wakefulness that directs the dream, and that will eventually startle us back to the truth of who we are.”

The Goddess Within

In my black historical quest (as well as my search for my next tattoo *winkwink*) my spirit has been led on more than one occasion to Egyptian mythology.

Recently I've been thinking how important it is for us as women to have a deity which we can identify with. I mean if our supreme creator created us in their own image...how can she be a HIM?



SO I look to Mother Earth - Gaia and Goddesses of the past to properly align myself with my true destiny.

Names like Isis, Taweret, Hathor, Nut (Goddess of the Sky) and Bat come to mind.



I'm kinda worried about the recurring cow association within the mythology but I suppose the milky way is one of the most prominent constellations in the sky... plus cattle is considered pretty sacred in "pagan" religion. SO I guess it's understandable.




This isn't blasphemy. This is just me on my quest to find my true self.

selah.

Our Deepest Fear by Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
