Post #47:
Dear Readers,
In our section entitled “Spirit on Film” we focus attention on the positives that Spirit – God’s Divine Feminine aspect in all forms of media. However it often also means exposing and illuminating if you will the very darkest corners of unbalanced, egotistical (evil), selfish (sinful) and self-willed masculine negativity. But it does not truly even represent God’s Divine Masculine as it is indeed devoid of actual connection to God’s Divine Masculine. The men who perpetrate the crimes against women and children as told in such stories long ago turned away from God – consciously or unconsciously, afflicted as they are with another kind of spiritual malady we call Hellenism. One such movie this year is aptly entitled “Spotlight“.
It is the same Hellenism of which Jesus was so critical 2,000 years ago. Hellenism had infected the body of Israel-Judea hundreds of years before Jesus was born, brought to the Holy lands from Syria by the Seleucid Greeks. And although the Revolt of the Maccabees overthrew their occupation, the Pharisees embraced Hellenism. Jesus of Nazareth spent the better part of his ministry criticizing the Pharisees specifically, but men generally for their “man-worship” – deifying men. This turning away from God, away from the co-equality of men and women which Jesus also taught, is what we refer to as the modern origin of imbalance.
But Hellenism-Phariseeism overcame the “Feminine-ism” of God and of Jesus, and of so many other “Traditionalist” believers through men like Saul of Tarsus. Later called Paul, he celebrated his Phariseeism. While we do not advocate this film receiving an award, we hope people will think about the roots of child-abuse in the church tonight. Contemplate the movie “Spotlight” potentially winning a “Best Picture Oscar” for its part exposing the affliction of Hellenism in “Churchianity”.
While you are at it, think also about the Academy itself. According to the LA Times, it is 91% white, and 76% men.
Let there be Light!

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.

This weblog, our pamphlets, study guides and other materials are inspired by Miguel’s book, The Word 2.0, a new biography of Jesus of Nazareth in his own words, based upon a single, unified timeline that reveals important new details about his life and ministry! For example that Jesus was not a Hellenist!

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!
