| Divine Feminine in Distress |
Within the ancient Science of Consciousness, known contemporary as the Occult or Hermeticism, the Divine Masculine has left theDivine Feminine within us, leaving us open to be dominated by another's will; their Masculine aspect. As Manly P. Hall discusses, there is a lack of Self Mastery on Earth. This analysis expressed as a taxonomy, or grouping into classes of human consciousness, underscores the key cause of much suffering on Earth, and highlights what we as individuals can do to turn the tide.
The Principle of Gender
In the Hermetic teachings of old the Law or Principle of Gender is revealed stating all Creation is the product of the Masculine Active and Feminine Passive principles. The Masculine directs and the Feminine respondsproducing creation; the son. This principle workseverywhere at all scales and planes in creation; including within our minds.
The Masculine aspect of the mind (our will) works with the Feminine aspect (our creative potential) to realize our knowledge; both intuitive and rational. Thinking about another it way, directing our will with the conscious mind creates images, emotions and ideas (the son) which are born from the Feminine unconscious mind. Once these aspects harmonize with the ALL, or we recognize we are One with the ALL, they become the Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine (Divine meaning in harmony with ALL things) merging into an awakenedConsciousness. Eventually we walk through life as a Self Directed BEing.
An awakened consciousness will create a harmony of the two aspects - the Chemical Wedding - signifying the beginning of a Moral life where we are guided by compassion, goodness and service for all. Here the Masculine aspect directs the Feminine aspect in harmony and they create a Moral Compass. We become a co-creator with the ALL (working with the WILL of the ALL) and assisting in the progressive spiritualization of Creation. This has been called the Great Work in Alchemy.
