Dear Readers,
Is balance – the absolute co-equality of God’s masculine and feminine aspects, the male and the female, men and women, an idea whose time has come? Can women overcome the enormous momentum of men’s his-tory of Hellenist male-dominance to achieve equality? And by so doing, lead us all back to balance?

Perhaps not since the Great Flood of Noah’s era have “corrupt men“, as God called them (page 28.), been so pronounced so as to produce real potential for catastrophic global destruction as exists today. To put it in the simplest terms, this war against Spirit herself by men against women, the female, indeed all things feminine truly threatens all life on Earth. As we know all life flows through woman, the female, God’s own Divine Feminine aspect – the Earth herself as the Mother.
And yet men in their apparently infinite capacity for destruction continue down this unsustainable path toward who even knows what end? Men with guns continue to intimidate, terrorize, rape and kill women especially, but children too, and of course men who are different from themselves. Elsewhere other men with even larger guns and weapons of destruction threaten death on a regional scale.
Is war on a larger scale possible? You bet! At the same time still other men higher on the pyramid, loot, plunder, pillage and rape the Earth herself to enrich themselves and other men. And at the highest levels, other elites of men pollute and contaminate our Mother Earth, God’s own tabernacle, threatening life for eons to come. With Fukushima Japan not yet resolved, yet another nuclear power plant has been found to be leaking in New York!
Men make such decisions with intention to maximize their profits aligned with Hellenist principles, without regard for potentially horrific, unimaginable costs to life. They claim these potentially horrific outcomes are unforeseeable. But Hellenism teaches that men are gods anyway, and so why care about potentially damaging or destructive outcomes? Their objective is male-dominant power, dominance and control in pursuit of ego-driven selfish self-will and gratification.
In his “lost speech” to the National Press Club, Washington, DC, in July 1962, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a true Son of God, said,
“Destructive means cannot bring about constructive ends…”
We recall from world events that abroad men of the United States of America were barely past a war in Korea in 1962, not to mention World War 2, and were entering into the ill-conceived conflict in Vietnam. At home, men had just attempted to invade Cuba in April 1962 at the Bay of Pigs, and failed. And in a little more than one year hence, they would assassinate President Kennedy.
King’s expression also echoes the words of Pres. Abraham Lincoln, another Son of God, on the occasion of his 2nd Inaugural address:
“If God wills that it (this mighty scourge of war) continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman’s two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said, ‘the judgements of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.'”
Do men comprehend what Lincoln said? What King meant? What Jesus was referring to? What God created? Divine Balance? The absolute co-equality of the masculine and the feminine? Male and female? Men and women? We know Jesus, Lincoln and King, in their own times, were called to make sacrifices for what they believed – at the hands of other men who disagreed with them. In each case men with Hellenist-Pharisee leanings. As God said of men,
“Every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood.” (Page 29.)
Men want power, control, recognition, and to possess things – women in particular. Men will use aggression, violence, guns, money, influence, corruption, or whatever as their tools to get what they think they deserve. Or to avoid losing something to which they think they are entitled. While they may say their plans and leadership will bring about peace on Earth, destructive means cannot bring about productive, peaceful ends. As Jesus said, consider their fruit – what have they produced so far?
For example, records of gun violence against women and children just in America is a matter of public record. And thanks to men exporting their fearful, violent aspirations, women, children and even other men who are different the world over must live in fear. Unbalanced masculine fear wielding violence will never bring peace, only the co-equality of love has that power. Adopting King’s words in that speech, peace, equality, and indeed balance is an idea whose time has come.
Namaste!

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!
