Post #37
Dear Readers,
Did Taylor Swift say, “there is a special place in Hell for women who don’t help other women”? Might Jesus not have also have said, “there is another special place in Hell for women who injure other women”?
Of course it goes with saying Jesus certainly thought, and may well have said, “men who hurt women, or children, experience a special kind of eternal damnation” – are already in Hell. Our feeling is that only women, reflecting God’s true Divine Feminine aspect can illuminate men’s path toward Heaven.

We have learned from Jesus’ ministry that it is Spirit – God’s Divine Feminine aspect, that will arise on Earth as it is in Heaven. We also know Spirit will bring about a rebirth in men especially but only when they are ready to die to their egoic self-willed natures. We have come to believe that absent this spiritual rebirth, men, but also many women, are already experiencing Hell. The Hell of imbalance and inequality invented by men and their Hellenist-Pharisee belief system.
We are also read of how Jesus compares and contrasts these masculine traits and behaviors to feminine virtues and qualities they must adopt. They teach men how to become more balanced in their impulses and urges, their motives and intentions, and also their thoughts, words and actions. And of course we perceive from his life’s story, travels and storytelling that Jesus considered women the absolute co-equals of men. But in the intervening 2,000 years is it not possible that some women have also become afflicted by Hellenism?
Consider that when we speak of God as undifferentiated masculine and feminine energy, neither male nor female, and yet both (see below), we are referring to God’s “Oneness“. How can men possibly comprehend such oneness, learn what it means, or practice it in their daily lives except from women? But what happens when women mirror masculine traits and behaviors? Beginning with his mother, Jesus learned from women, did he not? And in The Word 2.0, we can trace all his learning experiences with women along one unified timeline. But what of women who behave as men do?
Sadly we have come to expect men’s disregard of, disrespect for and abuse of women, but our question today is more about women who have fallen under the spell of Hellenism. Women who turn against other women. Is it to impress men in the manner of the Pharisees seeking recognition? Is it in their heads that they must be more like men to succeed? Do they so hate themselves that they mimic men to feel better about themselves? Perhaps they do not understand God’s true nature, plan and purpose for them either?
Jesus, on the other hand, may have originated what we now comprehend as “Girl Power” – as the Spice Girls once proclaimed. The presence of women in some stories and situations, but also the absence of women in others can teach men a lot. While men can learn from Jesus, so can women who do not fear “Churchianity” – that brand of institutionalized Hellenism that continues to oppress women. Women should be aware this quasi-religious-philosophical belief system which tyrannizes them and also hobbles men, does not actually even teach Jesus’ Word.
Women should also know that men do not empower them. Why? Forget it. Men are ego driven, self-centered, and selfish. This we know. Hence their platitudes tend to ring hollow, false, self-serving. As Jesus said, do not seek the recognition that comes from men (page 228; 308; elsewhere) – the same Hellenist men Jesus also criticized, right? Duh! What Taylor speaks to is women loving and arising in Spirit themselves, and then empowering one another.
Through his stories that involve women, his emphasizing not only God’s Divine Feminine aspect, but the words and acts of real women, women and men have an opportunity to learn and grow. We have no doubt that when Taylor spoke of what might be called ‘women’s empowerment‘, which we tend to imagine is more like the quickening of God’s Spirit. We are talking about a ‘Girl Code‘ here, a sisterhood of the Spirit. There is simply no other way men will ever learn to become men except by the loving hand of God’s Divine Feminine. And through them men.
Jesus either introduces us to or comes into contact with many different men and their afflictions. Indeed, many different kinds of men suffering through their own Hell. Wealthy men, middle managers, laborers, professionals, lawyers, religious leaders, and more. Remarkably, yes, many have very similar traits and behave in the same almost predictable ways suggesting men are more the same than they are different. And yes, Jesus was critical of most of them, which we will discuss later, but not just those who were Pharisee-Hellenists. By contrast however, some we might never suspect actually demonstrate the values of Spirit he teaches.
Heaven or Hell? The choice seems obvious.

We are dedicated to the absolute co-equality and balance between men and women! Our premise is that God created us this way to be whole, complete, unified – as One, through one another, masculine and feminine. That is what Jesus taught men. We are discussing how the Word of God as taught by Jesus of Nazareth was willfully or inadvertently misrepresented or misunderstood such that men came to believe they were somehow more equal.
God is One! We are one! Consider the Sh’ma (Shema):
“Hear O Israel – The Lord our God is One Lord. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’
This is the first and great commandment.
The second is like it, namely this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” (Pages 305 – 306.)
Whether or not you agree please be our “Friend” and “Share” us with your friends!
You are reading one in a series on the “Feminine-ist” teaching of Jesus of Nazareth.
As a Traditionalist Rabbi opposed to Hellenism, Jesus’ teachings are drawn entirely from the Law, the Hebrew-Jewish Scripture and the Traditionalist doctrine of his day. To which he chooses to specifically emphasize God’s Divine Balance – the absolute co-equality, balance, unity, harmony and Oneness of God’s masculine and feminine aspects.

God is undifferentiated masculine and feminine energy in perfect balance, whole, complete, unified, and co-equal. God is neither male nor female, and yet both – inseparable! And as a reflection of God’s Divine Balance, God made each of us manifest as male and female, man and woman, in God’s perfect likeness! Truly a state of grace.
How Adam’s actions brought about the fall from this state of grace is something we will discuss elsewhere. Suffice it to say that long before Jesus was born, men and women were already out of balance. In the more immediate sense of events which took place in Israel before Jesus was born, I found the Seleucid Greek invasion critically important because of the belief system we call “Hellenism” the Greeks forced on the children of Israel at that time.
It may not be especially well known today but the Seleucid Greeks from Syria outlawed our One True God! They forbade the worship of God under the penalty of death. Their King Antiochus IV Epiphanes (Antíochos D’ ho Epiphanḗs, “God Manifest”), believing he was god, decreed the people would have no other god before him.

Hellenism did cause divisions among the people though. On one hand identifying with the Greek empire and culture could enrich certain elite Israelites, but on the other hand their man-worship violated God’s Law. This divided not only those who were “Hellenists”, their supporters and adherents, from those who were “Traditionalists“, but also, apparently, men from women. Why? Because it is also in the nature of Hellenism that women be subordinate to men.
Typical Hellenist art depicts the naked male-form as the object of worship – godly.
But our One True God was definitely not a Hellenist, right? Given that, Jesus was not a Hellenist – quite the opposite. We might characterize Jesus’ ministry as anti-Hellenist – teaching men in particular about the Divine Balance of God’s Feminine and Masculine aspects, specifically “Feminine-ism“. I briefly outline some basic principles of Jesus of Nazareth’s life and ministry, as they are revealed in “The Word 2.0”:
1. Jesus was a “Traditional” Hebrew-Jewish teacher and Rabbi – to say the very least!
2. Jesus was not a “Hellenist” in any sense of our understanding the word.
3. Jesus espoused and promoted that our One True God – the God of Israel, is a perfect co-equal balance of both masculine and feminine, as is reflected in all Creation.
4. Jesus said that we must love the Lord our God first and foremost, and then love one another as we love ourselves.
5. Jesus taught that love, beginning with God’s “Ruach HaKodesh” – the Breath of Life and Holy Spirit, as aspects of God’s Divine Feminine, is the only way that men can experience the Kingdom of God.
6. Jesus rejected the kind of egocentric, selfish, self-centered thinking and behavior of men that characterizes “Hellenism”.
We will discuss each of these points in much greater detail as we continue, and, look for my study guides they will soon also be available!
