"Yea, the man who honours a woman, honours his own mother and daughter, for mother is second only to God as a sacred being. Know ye. Therefore, the Father-Mother God above has given place to every creation in the Grand Household of Life, for every thing under the angel of sun, has come into the world by God's good pleasure and blessing, and all things, weak and strong, live because of the Holy Law.
"I come therefore to restore all things to their original root, that all things may again know God, and be in Oneness with the All. Thus shall the deficiency be healed and all things returned to their own nature.
Only then shall the All Peace come upon the earth and be as in Heaven, for many things are amiss and astray because of the evil of man and his intervention, but the Son of Man cometh to correct all things and set all things straight. Those who have ears, hear."
This paints a different picture for us men from what we are used too of the relationship between us and our God and the same (a relationship) between man and woman in Him. "...The man who honours a woman, honours his own mother and daughter, for mother is second only to God as a sacred being." Consider this. Where (also) is the sister, other relative or stranger within this? Look at the statement again and you will see it there in "The man who honours a woman..." The commandments are there too. From (the Essene Humane Gospel in) my previous blog on Guidance we are taught: "So in every woman who is perfected are there three persons, that of the daughter, that of the bride, and that of the mother, and these three are one: and the man and the woman are one, even as God is One. Thus it is with God the Father-Mother in Whom is neither male nor female and in Whom is both, and each is three-fold, and all are One in the Hidden Unity." Do we look at this statement now (the previous one on honouring) with open eyes and ears?
Let's look at another familiar passage. (Genesis 2:18-24.) "ADONAI, God, said, "It isn't good that the person should be alone. I will make for him a companion suitable for helping him." So from the ground ADONAI, God, formed every wild animal and every bird that flies in the air, and He brought them to the person to see what he would call them. Whatever the person would call each living creature, that was to be its name. So the person gave names to all the livestock, to the birds in the air and to every wild animal. But for Adam there was not found a companion suitable for helping him.
"Then God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the person; and while he was sleeping, He took one of his ribs and closed up the place from which He took it with flesh. The rib which ADONAI, God, had taken from the person, He made a woman-person; and He brought her to the man-person. The man-person said, "At last! This is bone from my bones and flesh from my flesh. She is to be called Woman [Hebrew: ishah], because she was taken out of Man [Hebrew: ish]." This is why a man is to leave his father and mother and stick with his wife, and they are to be one flesh." It is Adam first (Ish which means man with the fire or Holy Spirit) who names the animals, birds, etc. Then woman (Ishah meaning woman with the fire) helps him. Adam's job wasn't too hard. All he had to do was give them names. She then became his wife - "they are to be one flesh." Therefore, "So in every woman who is perfected are there three persons, that of the daughter, that of the bride, and that of the mother, and these three are one: and the man and the woman are one, even as God is One. Thus it is with God the Father-Mother in Whom is neither male nor female and in Whom is both, and each is three-fold, and all are One in the Hidden Unity." Do we start to understand this now?
Here's another Scripture passage. (Exodus 19:3-6.) "Moshe went up to God, and ADONAI called to him from the mountain: "Here is what you are to say to the household of Ya'akov, to tell the people of Isra'el: 'You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I carried you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself. Now if you will pay careful attention to what I say and keep My Covenant, then you will be My Own Treasure from among all the peoples, for all the earth is Mine; and you will be a Kingdom of cohanim (priests) for Me, a nation set apart.' These are the words you are to speak to the people of Isra'el." Likewise, at the end of the chapter: (Exodus 19:20-25.) "ADONAI came down onto Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain; then ADONAI called Moshe to the top of the mountain; and Moshe went up. ADONAI said to Moshe, "Go down and warn the people not to force their way through to ADONAI to see Him; if they do, many of them will perish. Even the cohanim, who are allowed to approach ADONAI, must keep themselves Holy; otherwise, ADONAI may break out against them." Moshe said to ADONAI, "The people can't come up to Mount Sinai, because You ordered us to set limits around the mountain and separate it." But ADONAI answered him, "Go, get down! Then come back up, you and Aharon with you. But don't let the cohanim and the people force their way through to come up to ADONAI, or He will break out against them. So Moshe went down to the people and told them." Moshe or Moses (a man) did as he was told. Just like Adam before he came up the mountain then went down and told the people as instructed. The people (men and women) (and: "So in every woman who is perfected are there three persons, that of the daughter, that of the bride, and that of the mother, and these three are one: and the man and the woman are one, even as God is One. Thus it is with God the Father-Mother in Whom is neither male nor female and in Whom is both, and each is three-fold, and all are One in the Hidden Unity.") are set apart for God. We see Him in His Holiness. This convicts us of our sinfulness and leads us into a righteous lifestyle. So we are the set apart ones.
(Essene Humane Gospel chapter 65, part of.) "Again I say unto, those who have ears, hear and understand: I and My Bride are One, even as Maria Magdalena, whom I have chosen and sanctified unto Myself as a type, is One with Me: I and My Church are One. And the Church is the Elect of humanity, for the Salvation of all. The Church of the First-born is the Maria of God. Thus saith the Eternal Spirit, She is My Mother and She hath ever conceived Me and brought Me forth as Her Son in every age and dime. She is My Bride, ever one in Holy Union with Me her spouse. She is My Daughter, for She hath ever issued and proceeded from Me Her Father, rejoicing in Me. Yea, these two Trinities are One in the Eternal All, and are shown forth in each man and woman who are made perfect. Ever being born of God, and rejoicing in Light, ever being lifted up and made One with God, ever conceiving and bringing forth God for the Salvation of the many." (John 20:11-17.) (Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene.) "Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As She wept, She bent over to look into the tomb and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot. They asked Her, “Woman, why are You crying?” “They have taken My LORD away,” She said, “and I don’t know where they have put Him.” At this, She turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but She did not realise that it was Jesus. He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it You are looking for?” Thinking He was the gardener, She said, “Sir, if you have carried Him away, tell me where You have put Him, and I will get Him.” Jesus said to Her, “Mary.” She turned toward Him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”). Jesus said, “Do not hold on to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to My brothers and tell them, ‘I Am ascending to My Father and Your Father, to My God and Your God.’” Amen.
