We grow and develop as human beings whenever we master new skills, acquire new knowledge and understanding, and become more aware of the true nature of things, including ourselves. All too often, however, instead of understanding that each new challenge, trial and difficulty that presents itself in our life is an opportunity to transform into a newer, more powerful, confident and capable self, we go into resistance or avoidance mode, so losing an opportunity to transform our identity, and as a result, change our life for the better.
Yet, if we are to achieve our full potential as human beings, we do need to undergo a whole series of psychological transformations whereby we exchange our “old,” limited identities, for “new,” more expanded ones. These psychological transformations allow us to break through certain attitudes, beliefs, fears, patterns of behaviour and delusions, that restrain and restrict us, preventing us from pursuing our dreams, from being all that we can and yearn to be.
The dictionary defines the word “soul” as “spiritual essence,” or “that immaterial part of us that survives bodily death,” and for a long time, this “spiritual,” “immaterial” aspect of ourselves has been what the world has regarded as the most valuable part of our identity: the, holy, sacred part. Our physical body on the other hand, has been regarded as a mere “shell” which houses this important, divine aspect. In the last few years, however, due to Dan Brown’s popular novel, The Da Vinci Code, the unequal status between the physical and the spiritual realms has been challenged, as humanity remembers that we once recognised the existence of a feminine component to spirit.
This feminine aspect to spirit, known as the Sacred Feminine, was said to be imprisoned within physical matter. Trapped inside matter, the divine light of the Goddess longs for release so that She can once again be re-united with her Beloved, her divine male counterpart: God.
The idea that there is a God and Goddess, equal in status - two halves that make up the divine Godhead – forces us to re-think the status of the physical, material world, and how we think about it. Stripped of its sacred nature when the existence of the Goddess was rejected and banished from mass consciousness, the planet, (and indeed, all things physical) have been regarded as being so much less important and valuable than the spiritual realm. The earth has been something to be subjugated, dominated, used and exploited for our own ends. Now, with the return of the Goddess to our awareness, the earth, and all of Creation, must be regarded not just with loving respect, but with reverence because of its divine nature.
