I offer a different perspective on an age-old Saga; a new take on an archetypal story that has been grossly misinterpreted, re-edited (if not parts completely deleted) and clumsily re-told by individuals attempting to manipulate and control the field for centuries (no judgment on that, as all was perfect). If the words create agitation within you- great! Breathe in and out! Take in only what rings true for you, never accept something unless it feels good in your heart. And if you experience some A-ha moments or wow, that’s a different way to look at it, or I can see some of it being the case, or that feels right, that does not- then Great!
Words are words. The meaning in the words is what YOU give it. This is my Soul’s experience- My Truth. It makes me smile and laugh; It makes me see how truly amazing this entire HUMAN Experiment is- how perfect everything was, is and will be- all of it, the muck and the magic. We talk of myths as though they're mere stories that were created to help humans make sense of their experiences, which in some way is true. But all these myths, like the stories of your life, are very real in certain dimensions and in various points across the space-time continuum. These Beings and their stories existed prior to the creation of this current age in this universe, and some of them occurred in the very same spaces you walk through now- doesn’t that make you feel special? It should! (Because you ARE!) Enjoy! Within the Story of this Universe and CREATION, there are layers upon layers and stories within stories, layered on top of even more stories, interwoven and connected by threads so vast only a mind of Divine Perception could attempt to grasp the complex intricacy of Design. To The Source Energy, from which ALL arises, I say thank you, and to ALL of the artist-Souls that have weaved their stories throughout the space-time continuum into what is the fabric of our shared experience, I say thank you! Good or Bad, it ALL serves ONE!

Act I: Boy meets Girl (after they were "created" for each other) and they live happily ever after....
EXCEPT, Boy after being told by his Creator that he is in charge of everything in the garden, mistakenly thinks that includes Girl. Girl thinks Boy is kind of a putz and refuses to be dominated by him. Boy NOT happy, screams and fusses. Girl annoyed and over it, too smart to fight, takes flight (literally). Boy now very ANGRY and LONELY, screams and fusses some more, growing louder and louder- Animals miserable, Oy vey!
In fly the Angels from Stage Right - hearing Boy's story, as he demands they drag Girl back to him (very caveman-like!). Angels fly to Girl, begging her to return with them. She adamantly refuses, claiming her equality with Boy. Some threats are made, new roles assumed by Girl. Angels fretting, Boy now mad and sad. God (pretending like THIS wasn’t meant to happen- wink wink): Oh no! Now what to do? LIGHTBULB! Create new Girl, from the feminine aspect of Boy- Yes, each being is made of both feminine and masculine energy (create her from his left rib- left side is the feminine/mother side, right side is masculine/father). Now she can’t say she’s his equal, since she came from him- (HIGHFIVES all around), Good thinking! (Wink, wink)
Boy meets New Girl, New Girl much more accommodating, as she came from him, she loves him in a selfless, nurturing way. Boy much happier. Boy and Girl now live happily ever after. EXCEPT…

* In the creation story, Adam and Lilith were created from the Dust of the Earth. Then Eve was created from Adam. The pair (feminine and masculine aspects) makes up the yin and the yang (complementary opposite and equal qualities, which are bound together as parts of a mutual whole, where the interaction of the two give birth to things, and continuously transform into each other.). Lilith and Eve represent two aspects of the Feminine. In duality one quality exists and so too does its polar opposite. Day/light comes first, followed by night/shadow. With the day/light representing the known, seen aspect, and the night/shadow being the mysterious, hidden energy. With the move into duality in this Universe, the newly created breed of Human Souls were given the opportunity to explore and experience the vastness of their Beings, just like the Souls that had come before (from other Star Systems/Universes).
Goddess/God: The Beautiful Creators in charge of this Lovely Universe and the very beautiful planet you are currently hurtling through space on: Earth! *Otherwise known as Sophia/Lilith and Yahweh/Jehovah –YHVH)
GODDESS/GOD: Original Creator, SOURCE, the one energy where ALL energy comes from. In the beginning there was ONE and IT desired to Experience Itself, and so It Breathed Out and the Light dispersed from One to Many (like how light is refracted through a prism), giving birth to the beginning of Creation. G.O.D. Energy = Great One Divine Energy.
In religious texts when it speaks of the creation of the world, it mentions God created the Earth in 6 days and rested on the 7th, keep in mind, physical time on this Earth is longer than time is to Goddess/God or those in the higher dimensions. Six days in the higher dimensions translates to a MUCH longer time in the lower dimensions. Look at the color spectrum of the Rainbow, violet is the highest on the spectrum and it vibrates at a very fast rate. As you move down the spectrum the vibration decreases in speed, with red being the lowest on the spectrum and vibrating at a slower, denser rate.
This Universe and the Earth, after its creation with the Big Bang, was evolving for a long time and there were Souls here incarnating on the planet up through the evolutionary stages- first from other Universes throughout the various World Ages and then after the addition of the new-soul batch, beginning with the Adam/Eve Human-god soul, more souls were added to the mix, allowing for more physical bodies to be created, and with that more stories. With the rise of this past Age, a new paradigm was created, one where the masculine aspect would come into dominance over the feminine. Heaven or the Totality is Infinite, constantly expanding and shifting and EVOLVING, playing with the myriad of emotions, expressions, and experiences available. This new paradigm allowed us all to play with a new series of life experiences in this Universe and on this planet, experiences that had played out on other planets and in other dimensions prior to this time.
Prior to the beginning of this current Age, the Feminine Goddess aspect exited stage left, agreeing to watch from behind curtains, so that the God Aspect could move into the dominant space. Like a good girl, sharing the space and her toys, sacrificing Her energy and space, all so that we could play with the masculine dominance over the feminine. Seeded in our Soul’s cellular memory is the knowledge of the Feminine/Goddess as Source. Greed for and fearing the power the feminine contains, a natural desire arose to dominate, control and manipulate the Feminine energy to serve the Masculine and its needs. Using power without the balance of love, the shadows rose up of the aggressive, abusive masculine and the dominated, abused feminine. * Make no mistake, we ALL agreed to play out these themes and all the traumas, atrocities, wounds and tragedies we could inflict upon each other, within this paradigm.
From the Beginning of Creation, from the very first Out Breath from Original Creator: SOURCE, things have ALWAYS been created in Pairs, representing the Feminine and Masculine aspects- mirroring Source. Following the macrocosmic pattern that has existed since the very beginning of Creation, The Goddess/God Creators in charge of this Universe would have made Their human-gods as a Twin Flame pair consisting of both a Feminine/Masculine Being and a Masculine/Feminine Being - from the SAME substance. The Masculine force being the Active, Retriever aspect and the Feminine being the Magnetic, Attractor aspect.
In the beginning of this last Age, the Goddess/God Pair of this Universe and planet Earth, sent forth some of Their Light Essence, and created Adam and his feminine counterpart Eve (stored hidden within him). However, in order to set up the perfect conditions for this 26,000+ year drama, Sophia/Lilith (The Goddess of This Universe) first gave birth to Herself in physical form as Lilith, and then to Adam. Lilith was to play the judgmental, un-cooperative “Partner”, and Eden was no paradise for the poor Adam with this matching (nor was it meant to be).
Lilith held the energy for the strong, willful, fierce, independent Female. In the light aspect, She represented feminine beauty, freedom, independence, personal boundaries, sexual pride, and self-control of body, mind and spirit. She was the personification of female sexuality- the willful woman who expected to be pleased and not just exist for the pleasure of man. In Her agreement with Her Twin Flame Yahweh, part of Her role was to become the Shadow Feminine: judgmental, dangerous, ferocious, destructive, defensive, filled with resentment and an inner rage- refusing to compromise herself or her desires/beliefs/body, not afraid to go against authority, instead following her own inner authority. She was meant to mate with those holding the Field for the Shadow Energies (Samael/Satan, Lucifer, etc.), giving birth to the demons, which were those entities that would hold the space for the Shadow Emotions and Energies- all so that we could play with Duality in this Universe!
Then you have Eve, the nurturing, motherly, accommodating feminine aspect, a bit aloof and airy/flighty, with a natural naïveté, more domestic and service oriented. She was meant to be his partner and support Adam, instead of oppose him like Lilith. She was the compassionate love nature, who sacrificed (by eating the fruit) so that the fallen from other Star Systems could come onto this planet, and the Earth could continue its dance with duality.
Act II. Cut to Adam, post-Eve creation, who’s happily tending his Garden Kingdom, while the lovely Eve is out wandering about the greenery.
Duality enters into this “perfect” scenario. In creeps a snake (Poor snakes get a bad rap. In the language of totem animals, snakes represent eternity, wisdom and cosmic consciousness, powerful transformation and healing. It means your creative forces are awakening, and your intuition is sharpened. It signifies transitions in life, new opportunities or changes. It is fire medicine, which means transmutation - transmuting duality from one end of the pole to the other (ignorance to knowledge in this case).
What does this snake want? To eat the beautiful Eve? No, merely to offer her a chance to expand herself- to be a god (which by the way, is what she was created to be anyway) and eat from the forbidden Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil- The Tree of DUALITY!! The Fruit represented wisdom, awareness and knowledge. And if you think that that wasn't the plan from the beginning of this wonderful experiment of God, you would be mis-informed and mistaken. This was a Universe, governed by duality, and that had been playing with duality prior to the creation of the new human-god souls, and they too were meant to traverse that path. As with all of Creation, every planet and being has its evolutionary plan. Though there is more to the story, we’ll say that Earth started out as a very dense, 5th dimensional physical experience for Star Beings (Highly evolved and newly-created Souls from other Universes) where they could come in to the space and join with the animal beings that were hanging out on the planet, to experience physicality. The longer they stayed inside the animals, the more the energies mixed, until some chose to be born onto the planet as the animals (exploring and learning lessons in different life forms). Natural evolution occurred up through animals to the hominid creatures and human’s ancestors. The genus Homos and Neanderthals and other hominids, carried the Souls through their respective Earth experiences from 5th dimensional existence to 3rd dimensional existence (in the Great Fall).
Pre-Adam/Lilith/Eve creation, the energy of competition for power and control, and the masculine and feminine resenting and manipulating each other, existed in the Earth Experience because of the Galactic Drama that was taking place. And yes, the Earth was an experience prior to the creation of the Love triangle and the masculine
resenting/dominating/fearing the feminine. In TRUTH, everything comes from the MOTHER SOURCE, including the FATHER, and the pair of energies co-creates in harmony and love; But in keeping with the theme of this portion of OUR shared story, the feminine (Lilith/Eve) and masculine (Adam) were created to clash so that this planet could continue to play with The Dualistic Tug-of-War between the Masculine and the Feminine. All of this arose from the juvenile aspect of God (Jehovah) in His conflict with the Parents (His Creators: Mother-Father GOD –in individuated forms: Mother Sekhmet and Lord Alcyone). It was a natural expression as the Son (Yahweh/Jehovah) tried to understand and define Himself, first by doubting whether he was created as good as the Father/Mother and then trying to separate from the Mother/Feminine- getting rid of the Mother and Beloved Partner. Sophia/Lilith agreed to play the Shadow Part for this story to unfold. This clash set up the energies for all kinds of abuses, traumas, abandonment and betrayals, perpetrated on both sides against the other. It set up the Battle of the Sexes, which mirrored the Battle between Heaven and Hell, or Light and Shadow, Good and Evil, Love and Fear, i.e. Duality. All so that we could eventually right all the wrongs- learning from the shadow aspects and experiences, and once more return to the Light within, healed, integrated and appreciating, respecting and loving our masculine and feminine selves. Realizing that divided we fall, but united, gives rise to the most powerful creations of ALL!
The feminine is always doing the ACTIVE creation work. It is the energy that is un-manifest, pure being, and it magnetizes what it needs to it, the masculine, which is the energy that then gives form to the creations; Providing the inspiration for the CREATION, so that the masculine can then build it. And so, in this scenario, the feminine was set up as the wild, destructive, unpredictable force. As Lilith, she refused and abandoned the masculine, and then the nurturing, accommodative aspect of Eve, who came from Adam's rib (the feminine aspect in himself) being the feminine receptive aspect, was created to receive the temptation to expand. Eve personified the feminine intuition, the innate knowing that something more existed outside of the small world they knew.
The feminine is all about pushing the boundaries, expanding into larger and new terrain. Think Lilith, Eve, Pandora, Psyche and her sisters (*refer to Greek/Roman Mythology)- The curiosity, the knowing that there's more to see, and the courage or craziness to leave the relationship that wasn't working, to eat the fruit, to open that box, to look into the monster's face, to know the truth. You think of men as the explorers (in history), but I'd go as far to say, that it is the feminine within them that propels them forward to seek new vistas, an expansion of themselves and the world around them. A hunger to be all that they can be, to merge with the infinite, to nurture the other, the self and the world, to give birth to new conditions and experiences- to CREATE.
Combine the intuitive knowing that more exists, the desire to create and expand, with the masculine will to act, explore and conquer new terrain, and you have the perfect combination- the pairing of energies to bring about the growth of the individual, couple, groups, countries, world, Universe, and Galaxy.
I’d also like to point out that it’s yin and yang, not yang and yin. The feminine comes first. The masculine draws its existence and power from the feminine –all human beings are born from a mother’s womb. Lilith HAD to be the first to leave. Eve HAD to be the first to eat the apple. The Feminine Attracts, The Masculine Acts. The Feminine Knows, The Masculine Goes. One aspect is not better than the other because one cannot exist without the other; both aspects operate mutually as interdependent forces. All Beings consist of both feminine and masculine energies, and it is the combination of these energies that create ALL of our Experiences.
The Goddess/God Dynamic:
In any body, Feminine (Goddess) is the left side and Masculine (God) is the right side; and both are meant to work together so that the being can function properly. In the human brain, the right hemisphere (Intuitive, creative, emotional- feminine aspects) controls the left side of the body, and the left hemisphere (Logical, rational, analytical- masculine aspects) the right side of the body. The Feminine comes first; it is the Source from which all things arise. All things are born from the Mother. (Fe)Male Fe precedes the “male”. The masculine gets its power from the feminine. This does NOT mean that one sex is better than the other. Think of each as one half of a circle. Without the other half, the circle would be incomplete. The Feminine provides the potential and the masculine provides the substance and the form.
In the Periodic Table (a display of the known 118 chemical elements) Fe is iron. Iron is the most common element in the planet Earth (a feminine planet: Mother Earth), and a very important part of biology in the human body, transporting oxygen (the breath of life) through the blood (hemoglobin) and muscle tissues (myoglobin). It aids in immune function, cognitive development, temperature regulation, energy metabolism, and work performance. 90 % of iron in the body is conserved and reused every day, with the remaining 10 % being excreted, and needing to be replenished through diet, lest deficiency occur. Combining it with the 15th most common element in the Earth’s crust and the chemical basis for all known life, Carbon, you produce steel, which is up to 1000 times harder than pure iron. This is symbolic of the masculine working cooperatively with the feminine, resulting in the creation being infinitely stronger and more complete.
In the Masculine Paradigm of Power however, (which was how this last age was set up) we tried to dominate feelings, controlling our thoughts and using our force/action to get things done, most times at the expense of feelings and spirit. Insecurity makes people do silly things. Because of masculine insecurity, the feminine was forced to deny or hide its power, to be ashamed of its natural strength, all to coddle the wounded masculine identity.
And why a wounded masculine? I feel it stems from the Adam Complex, with the initial judgment as being unworthy of her affection and love, and subsequent abandonment by the strong, powerful, willful feminine (Lilith); Followed by a time of bliss with the more nurturing, accommodating, loving, feminine aspect (Eve); Only to have the comfort and leisure of his kingdom ripped out from beneath him due to the inherent feminine temptation for expansion; Resulting in a forced exile from his garden oasis into a harsh, unknown world, where he’d be forced to work the land for his survival. Can you see where a natural resentment of the feminine might arise in a juvenile soul (which was only mirroring the juvenile aspect of the God (Jehovah), which created it)? One aspect of the feminine (Lilith, who happened to be Adam’s Mother/Creator, unbeknownst to him) rejected him, making him feel inadequate, and the other (Eve, who came from him) betrayed him with her choice to heed the natural desire and curiosity for expansion- she ate the fruit. Poor Adam!
The Witch Hunts and similar experiences arose when those who were not connected to Source in that way, feared those (usually women who used their natural intuitive powers and knowledge of healing with herbs and thought) who possessed that powerful connection. They feared that they would use their power against them. What we fear, we try to dominate, overpower or destroy.
To fully express the shadow side of the masculine dominance over the feminine, the feminine had to move into a submissive, inferior position- and the weaker sex myth arose.
The masculine with the inherent knowledge of the feminine as Source, and the underlying fear of the feminine power, as well as the wounds created by Lilith’s abandonment and Eve’s betrayal, fresh in the blueprint of this Age, had to use what it had in its toolbox to dominate:
· Action/Strength/Power- overpowering others through fear, controlling others through force and scare tactics
· Abuse and misuse of that strength and power, complete with all the karmic consequences.
· Taking what it wanted with no regard for the other’s feelings, personal boundaries and sacred space.
The disconnect/separation from Source, the thought that We WERE the power instead of a channel for the power, Separation between the different aspects of self, between our self and others and environment/nature, allowed us to use our power against the other, stealing or taking through blatant force or subtle manipulation and coercion, others’ energy, power, belongings, resources, etc.; All done so we could increase our personal reservoir of power, belongings, money, or energy, and creating a tangled web of karma that would need to be re-balanced at some point.
In being created by Source as separate threads of the ONE Energy, separate ‘identities’, the individuation we went through was a natural process. We had to withdraw from Source, separating the different parts of ourselves and from each other, then separate from the power, think we were the power, and use/abuse said power against self and other, deal with the consequences of those choices and actions (karma), grow in awareness of self-responsibility for thoughts, words, and actions/deeds, then begin to heal the wounded aspects through acceptance, forgiveness and love, integrating the various pieces of our selves. Although everything was perfect, including the imperfections, struggles and pain, it was in the re-connection to the divine Source, that would bring in the energy, which would heal, nourish and guide us in the perfect co-creation of our life experience, and once again return us fully integrated and balanced in our feminine and masculine energies.
Each aspect can only attain its potential when both are working together cooperatively. In balanced relationships and individuals, the masculine and feminine are equal, one aspect/person neither dominates nor represses/oppresses the other. Now, there are moments or situations where one aspect is more easily able to accomplish some task, and there is also a reciprocal give and take of energy between both aspects. The feminine would provide the inspiration and then step aside and let the masculine run the energy and accomplish the task- and vice versa.
Whether we are females or males on this planet (in this particular lifetime), we are all riding the waves of evolution, dealing with the same themes, emotions, weaknesses and strengths, diseases and imbalances, all eventually leading to total integration, resulting in the realization of our perfect health and wholeness. Thankfully we have reached a point in the evolution of the planet, with this particular age ending, where we find it is time to heal the masculine-feminine relationship rift, and all of the wounds of abandonment, betrayal, and mis-use of power, set up so perfectly in the Adam-Lilith-Eve Triangle. But we must drop ego and attachment to control, dominance and superiority, as well as resentment, anger and judgment, and come at life with the intention to co-create what is best for the greater good (which includes the planet, humans and all beings on the planet). We must also accept responsibility for all of our energies and experiences. As we re-balance and clear the karmic scales, healing the wounds of masculine against feminine, and the feminine against the masculine, through awareness, acceptance, forgiveness and love, we are awakening to the proper use and power of our masculine and feminine energies, and the tremendous potential which arises through the cooperative union of the two energies.
As awful as the actions or expressions of energy, others, or ours may have been, there is no need for us to judge. Each action took us to the next step along our path. And the path always was meant to lead us right back home again, where we could see how perfect, whole and complete we have always been! Even though it may have been super messy along the way, the mess was meant to give us all something to do, spaces and energies to explore and play with, and was always intended to be cleaned up at some point, to reveal the TRUE Beauty of Love that is EVERYONE’S Core Essence.
Thank you all for Playing! It has certainly been one hell of a ride and the fun’s just getting started! Now, let’s build Heaven on Earth, and be all that we were meant to BE!
But how do we start? Well, each man and woman who feels guided to, can begin to make peace with all aspects of the self: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual, accepting every possible experience that occurred, could have occurred or can occur, forgive self and the other, and release, heal and integrate with love all of these aspects, making it unnecessary to play them out any further. Healing the masculine and feminine within each individual is the best place to start. And the easiest way to get started is to be present with your life experiences in this moment now. This includes whatever is going on around you with people in your life, or the world at large. Whatever you see in another, whether it is a weakness or strength, is because that very same energy exists within you. But there need be no judgment, just become conscious of it, and claim the energy for your own (because unless you own it, you have no control over it, it controls you). In claiming it, you accept it, and accept responsibility for the aspect within you, which created it. From there we look upon ourselves and all of our actions/experiences in this lifetime, looking for any patterns that may be playing out, and gleaning the lessons inherent in each, which are connected to the particular dualistic energies within us. Use what is in front of you, letting go of judgment, blame, shame, guilt, anger, etc. Accept it, Own it, LOVE it unconditionally! You are a Divine Being having a human experience, and you are made up of BOTH feminine and masculine energies and light and shadow aspects. In TRUTH, we are only LOVE, but within the duality model, we sometimes chose to express energies (thoughts, beliefs, actions) that vibrated on the lower Shadow levels, committing negative acts against each other and our selves. We sometimes betrayed, abandoned, judged, disappointed, hurt, destroyed, manipulated, deceived, tormented, or killed our selves and others. However, nothing need be viewed as good or bad though, it simply IS, and there is value and wisdom in it ALL! Life is about choices, so what do you choose now? Whom do you choose to be now? We are all part of this Great Experience, and we all are important within the Expression. You can choose this moment now to awaken to the Totality of Your Being, to the Feminine Source and the Masculine Force within you. It matters not whether you are a Male or Female, it is the interplay of these two Beautiful Energies that give rise to every miracle that ever was, is, or will be! And it is time to release the wounds of the past and step once more into OUR Wholeness. As the yin, yang energies move from the fractured field, unfolding to become complete within our Being, all because of the choices we make now!
I say this to men and women EVERYWHERE, to Governments EVERYWHERE, to Children EVERYWHERE, when instead of judging, blaming or fighting each other for control, we come into it with the intention to move forward, and the energy and spirit of cooperation and unconditional love and acceptance, and we join forces, men and women, girls and boys, there is NO end to the good we can do, to the miracles we can give birth to and the magic we can make happen.
All my Love, Jamie
