Love Is, History of Women - Amazonian Women

Did you know that in the Old Testament, in the original not in the English translation, the Jews had many different names for God—Adonai, El Hai, El Shaddai, Elohim, YHVH, El, Yah, Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh? All these different names for God, and yet the Jewish faith is considered to be among the first monotheistic faiths. When the Bible scholars translated the Old Testament they lumped all these different names together and translated it as God. I don't blame them, it might have been a bit of a challenge to explain to the Gentiles what all the different names meant and how they fit into the great scheme of things.

Nonetheless, in the loss of these different names we lost the nuances of the original meanings and the roots of our faith. For example Elohim is the name of God the Creator in Genesis. But did you know that Elohim is actually a plural word? Meaning that there was more than one creator of this universe. I know that this might come off as shocking to most Christians, but let us consider a verse that never quite made sense, to me at least:

Now if God was all alone up there making the world a) why would he have the need to talk to himself about it, wouldn't he just go ahead and make man however he wanted to? and b) why would he use the words us and our? This makes perfect sense when we take into consideration this knowledge that Elohim was a name given not to God in the highest sense but to a number of manifestations of God—individualizations of God if you will—who acted as the creators of this universe.

Acknowledging this simple truth doesn't make us pagan or polytheistic or idol worshippers. After all Christianity is a monotheistic religion and we believe in the trinity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This is no different—the greatest Jewish affirmation of faith is called the Shema and it reiterates the unity of God, it states "Hear O Israel! The Lord, our God, the Lord is one."

So who were these Elohim? Well the esoteric Jewish teachings state that there was seven of them, but the Holy Spirit has revealed that there were actually seven pairs. And each pair stepped down a particular God quality like God Peace, God Love, God Wisdom, God Purity, etc. Each pair consists of a being which embodies the Alpha or Father polarity of the particular quality while the other embodies the Omega or Mother polarity. Thus they can be thought of as a masculine and a feminine polarity, though they are beyond the human concepts of gender.

So the Elohim were and are individualizations of God. They are individual beings but they are not separate beings, they aren't separate from each other or from God in the highest. As the prayer states the Lord is one. Imagine a ray of white light that enters a prism and is split into different colors. Well those color rays are an integral part of that white light, they stem from it. They couldn't exist without it. So the Elohim are emanations of the One.

What has all this got to do with the Amazonian women? We know that in Greek mythology there are stories of fierce warrior women called Amazons. Yet these stories are not just stories, they are rooted in fact.

There was indeed a society of such women that existed long ago. The Holy Spirit has revealed that they were in fact sponsored by one of the Elohim. Her name is Elohim Amazonia and she embodies the feminine polarity of the quality of God Power. It is from this mighty being that they got their name and that the river Amazon in South America also got its name. Amazonia sponsored them in the hope of raising up women to their rightful estate. She taught them the feminine—the Omega—aspect of God Power, which also includes faith, will, protection and divine direction.

Yet there were some among those women who turned away and began to use this power—which Amazonia taught them and bestowed on them—for their own selfish gains, to glorify their fallen consciousness. They began to misuse that power and instead of balancing it with love through wisdom they left off the love and wisdom completely and thus outpictured in themselves and their culture the perversion of God Power.

If we look back to Genesis in the very beginning it says "And God said, Let there be light: and there was light" (Gen 1:3). What can we infer from this? That God uses sound to create. It is the power of sound that creates. In the Eastern traditions there is the concept of the soundless sound which holds the universe together. Dr Shakuntala Modi has also written about this in her book Memories of God and Creation1 where she reports of her patients describing this sound while under hypnosis. And so it is in man (and woman)—as we were created in the image and likeness of God (Gen 1:27)—we also use sound to create, and thus our voices carry creative power.

But the Amazonian women began to misuse their voice to perpetrate untruths and uphold unreality. Thus instead of creating in harmony they began to miscreate. Instead of coming to their rightful place as empowered women in the role of Mother and appreciating and honoring the differences between men and women, they concentrated their power on putting down men and through them God the Father.

Instead of a balanced society envisioned by Elohim Amazonia where men and women were honored for their differences and the unique qualities and contributions they make, the Amazonian women took their society from one dualistic extreme—where women are subservient to men—to the opposite dualistic extreme where they sought to make men the subservient, downtrodden ones.

They created a society where men were useful only as slaves for performing menial tasks and of course for procreation. Male babies were either killed or given away to neighboring tribes. Men frequently had some of their limbs amputated so that they couldn't rebel. While this may seem like women were empowered, in reality they were far from it.

Their warring ways and brutal behavior were merely an outer manifestation of the warring within themselves. They declared war not only on the masculine without, but also on the feminine within themselves. How so? Well they denied their true feminine nature, which truly is being the nurturing, loving Mother.

One of their customs was the cutting off or burning of their right breast. This was done to make using a bow and arrow easier and more efficient. However, looked at symbolically and with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the breast represents a mother's nurturance. The left breast represents receiving nurturance and the right breast represents giving nurturance. By cutting off the right breast the Amazonian women denied their nurturing, maternal nature.

In medicine there is a recognized though rare syndrome—Poland Syndrome—named after Sir Alfred Poland who first described it in 1841. It describes a collection of symptoms, the major one being that on one side of the body the breast and breast muscle (pectoralis muscle) tissue is missing. It occurs twice as often on the right as on the left and it is a congenital disorder but not genetic as it is possible for one identical twin to have it and the other not. Quite often in addition to the breast abnormality there are other symptoms such as bone or hand abnormality on the same side, such as fingers missing or bones being shorter than on the other side. Through the Holy Spirit it has been revealed that the people experiencing this condition are actually the reincarnated Amazon women who are experiencing the effects even today of their actions towards themselves and others all those hundreds of years ago.

They refused to be that which they were created to be and attempted to be empowered by taking on a masculine role. But that is not true empowerment. Being empowered goes hand in hand with being able to Be who you truly are and more. Empowerment does not come about by rejecting who you are and attempting to be something you are not, whatever that may be. Rejecting yourself can only lead to an internal struggle, a division in your being and as Jesus said:

Thus accept who you are in God who is Alpha (Father) and Omega (Mother)—the beginning and the ending. Seek wholeness within yourself. Find the balance of the Alpha and the Omega—beautifully exemplified in the Eastern Tai Chi symbol. Find it within yourself that you may become like the house built on a rock (Mt 7:25, Lu 6:48) that can withstand any storm.
