Why Sophia?
Dear Wise One,
Why Sophia?
Why is it important to light up
the beauty and goodness of your feminine soul?
Because,
to paraphrase the words of a true wise woman,
Helen Luke
Until the Feminine Spirit is fully experienced as
separate and of equal value
by the individual and by the world
it cannot engage as an equal partner in the world.
In the past centuries women
have gone from being revered as
holy bearers-of-life
to being desecrated in
body mind and spirit.
The Feminine has been devalued,
mocked, held in contempt
even silenced.
This has made life desolate for women
and for the world with the loss
of its sense of the Sacred Feminine.
A correction of this is beginning to happen.
Modern perspectives are beginning to
take a more accepting stance toward
the Eternal Feminine
and Her values of
nurture
receptivity, safety, inclusiveness,
mercy, compassion, reverence for life,
and birthing new life of every kind.
The 21st century has been named the
"The Sophia Century"
by global visionary Lynne Twist.
Ms. Twist posits that the world now is at a
level of maturity in which
the Feminine can become embraced
and held in equal value.
The Feminine can strengthened
and take Her place
as a co-equal partner in the world.
This shift has been
the work of Sophia
through women who have come to know and
love Her and themselves.
By these incremental steps
the Divine Feminine is again
coming more into the consciousness of the world
and has gained a foothold of respect and opportunity.
So it is divine work for you to come to know
your feminine soul,
your own story, your own purpose.
It is Sophia’s work
through you
that you allow the world
to learn about Her from
the beautiful, unique essence of you.
This is ‘Why Sophia’
You are the Way
the Feminine will come into fullness
and full-partnership in the world
during this century.
Please join me in this dance
of wisdom and courage
and share your ideas of how
you think we should proceed.
Love,
Sophia
