An Introduction to
Feminine Mysticism

Picture
Introduction

The spiritual paths of women and men differ to a certain extent. Feminine mysticism is related to a woman’s spiritual path and its special features. In ancient times, this knowledge was taught by mystery schools for women, but they have disappeared over millennia. Through intuitive messages, this information is being brought to modern-day women and men again. Feminine mysticism seeks to help women and men heal from the wounds caused by patriarchy and to support women to take an active role in transforming our planet to promote life and all-around development. The goal is a balanced society in which both feminine and masculine qualities are equally valued.


 “Lack of respect for feminine qualities has led to the current state of the world. It has led to excessive aggression, political supremacy, and economic greed. In the absence of a feminine perspective, love and nourishment of living beings have come to be considered secondary.  When the well-being of living beings is not considered difficulty arises. Many species of flora and fauna have disappeared from the world, and people without care are suffering in large numbers. In today's world, those who feed and care for others are not valued. Yet those who aggressively seek political and economic power are allowed to act freely. This is due to the great imbalance between feminine and masculine power, which exists in society. Often women suppress their feminine nature, are pressured to succeed in a man's world, and learn to identify with their masculine qualities, contributing to this imbalance. "

"If women return to the sources of their power, their maternal qualities, their connection with nature, the maintenance and nourishment of life; if they accept their own sexuality, cyclical nature, and femininity, they will find a power they have not felt for millennia. " Feminine Mysticism by Maetreyii Ma Nolan

​

What is Meant by Mysticism?
  • Mysticism means a way of life in which one seeks to attain a direct connection with the inner self, the ultimate reality, the spiritual truth.
  • Mysticism is a line of thought, according to which the core of a being is mystical (i.e., mysterious) and can only be understood by intuition. (Wikipedia)
  •  Mysticism can be used to mean a conscious and systematic search for mystical experiences. To gain a mystical experience, a mystic usually uses certain methods, which may include meditation, yoga, asceticism, fasting, prayer, or a mantra.

What is Feminine Mysticism?
 Feminine mysticism refers to the methods, exercises, and attitudes through which women are able to find their own inner strength. What is a woman’s original power? The spiritual science of female mysticism seeks to provide guidance and practical advice about this.

"On the subject of Feminine Mysticism, I receive messages intuitively from my spiritual master Shrii Shrii Anandamurti. The intuitive messages  I have received on this topic cover many different aspects of feminine mysticism; e.g. early matriarchy, female mysticism and the female spiritual path, sexuality, relationship, the female cycle, motherhood, and the role of women in our society. This can be found in my book on Feminine Mysticism."

FEMININE MYSTICISM:
SECRETS OF THE EMPOWERED FEMININE

​This is a really unique book that combines modern western thinking with mysticism about woman's spirit that seems to be derived from mystic teachings of ancient India.

This book delves into the power of women's sexuality and the emotional power of women to follow the path of Bhakti, or love, and surrender to the Divine. This book may challenge your thinking and expand your understanding of the deep cosmic power of the feminine

"There is a longing in every woman to discover oneself as a Goddess. To feel the strength and power of femininity and understand, what kind of power and strength her femininity  gives her."

PictureLord Shiva to his wife, Parvati.
"Ancient India’s tantra was a matriarchal cult given by Lord Shiva to his wife, Parvati. These secret teachings were handed down from generation to generation. For centuries it remained primarily in the hands of women. In ancient Egypt, as well, women were the first ones to hold great knowledge. They were the priestesses before pharaohs existed and priestly orders came to power. In fact, all that the priests knew was learned from these ancient women, these mothers of human society. For the most part, the spiritual teachings for women have been lost.

However, these teachings are coming to light once again. As this occurs there will be a shift and the divine mother will come forward on this earth. She will gain power and status once again. Throughout human society, this quiet revolution will occur and a new age built on love will come into being. The re-emergence of feminine mysticism is the key to this transformation. It is a most important topic, feminine mysticism. Much attention needs to be given to this topic in all strata of society. That it will re-emerge is certain. This knowledge will emerge in due time, but as yet the time for the full impact of the teachings has not come. You must be patient. It will be soon enough. I will give some at this juncture but the main body of teachings cannot be given for a little while. Some others will give similar teachings. When the time comes, the knowledge will emerge in several forms.

Women are soon to gain status and power; their plight will improve. There are forces beyond the ordinary at work in this respect. Oppression, violence, and inferior status will fall away. Even though the real change will be quietly done, an effort will have to be made to educate women, draw them to spiritual practice, give them shelter from immoral men, denounce violence against women, and gain political and economic influence for women around the world."  A passage from Feminine Mysticism

Women in Working Life and the World

The values of women and the needs of women must be incorporated into societies around the globe, When this happens, balance will be restored in human society. When this happens, there will be a great change."

"Women do not have the same position as men, though much progress has been made in society to bring women to a stage where they have equal rights, equal pay, and equal independence, still has not been achieved. Though it may seem that women have a great deal of freedom and independence, the overall condition of women in the world of today is not as it should be. Still, the bird flies with only one wing as the other is hampered and not fully functional.

Equality requires that those women who are the most liberated from bondages come forth in the world in all spheres of life and make themselves known, make their values known, and influence society. The world is changing quickly, but it must change even more quickly in order to bring the feminine qualities and characteristics that will save human society from annihilation forward.

As a result of the feminine qualities and characteristics rising to the forefront, human society will grow and thrive in the future. Without this development, human society will move to destructive actions. Those possessive and territorial qualities and characteristics that are normally associated with the masculine aspect are less dominant when balanced by the feminine, with her influence and leadership.

Of course, there are many variations among men and women so a generalization will not apply to all. But it is true that, in the main, certain qualities are stronger in men than those of a feminine nature. Likewise, those of a feminine nature have qualities that are stronger in them. It can be said that those in female form have more capacity for emotional bonding and attachment. This is the result of the nurturing role of women with children. It is a biological factor.

What mother wants a war? What mother wants her sons to go to war? The mother’s desire is always that her children be safe and have the best life possible. So women are bound to bring peace to the world. As those imbued with a feminine quality become more influential in human society, they bring with them care for the aged, care for the ill, care for the young, and a strong desire not to allow harm to their sons and daughters.

These are the qualities of the feminine. These qualities are in dire need in the human political arena and the development of society. The qualities of the feminine personality are needed and the sooner they come forward the better.

The women’s liberation movement sought to give equal employment to women. But in order to do this, women had to be like men, forsake their time with their children, and forsake their strong desire to be with their families in order to achieve financial success and status. Then, when menses comes for working Women, they have to pretend they have no pain and no need. When they go into menopause, they are not to show signs or symptoms. This is seen as a weakness, both having pain with her period and having signs and symptoms of menopause.

By whose values are these weaknesses? Who has said this is a weakness? This assumption arose in the world based on the work of men. When women enter the working world, their needs are seen as weaknesses. So women are the weaker sex and they get emotional before their period, another feminine weakness. By whose standard is this a weakness? By whose standard are women the weaker sex?

Many women have desired to leave the captivity they feel at home, where they are dependent upon working men for bread and butter. They leave to earn their own living in the male-dominated workforce where they are expected to be like men. Then what happens to the children? Where are those children with their mothers gone? What happens when a mother has a hard-hearted boss who thinks it is a weakness if she takes time to be with her child if they are sick or in need?

This is not liberation. Women in this society are not as liberated as you may think. The true liberation of women requires the values and standards of women, the sweetness, the softness, and the association of care and nurturance to be respected. Why is it a crime to need a day, a week, and a month off the work? Perhaps it should be the standard. The values of women and the needs of women need to be incorporated into society, the sooner the better, and the more the better, because it is when this happens that balance will be restored in human society. It is not for women to become men, ignoring all of their own needs, trying to suppress them so that they don’t show any weakness. It is for women to come forward and their natural needs to stop being defined as weaknesses. The natural needs of the feminine body and mind need to be seen as a natural flow, respected as such, and given due time and accordance.

When this occurs, a great change in human society will occur. War will become a black mark in human history. Human services and the care for living beings will become more prominent as women come to the front. There are women who are charging ahead of the crowd to take a position that requires them to adopt the standards, methods, and values of men but this has a great cost. It is not inherent to their nature. It is not natural or happy. It is true, as I have said, that this may vary from individual to individual. But you will find when you analyze many women who have gone far in their careers, or their political positions, that they have adapted to masculine standards and expectations. Due to this, they feel some pain, a longing for something missing, or a fear of what they missed. This is because they have been oppressed, even though they may be very successful, they have been oppressed as women. They have not been taught to value their sweet and softer side. They have been taught to suppress their feminine cyclical nature, and their emotional variations in order to be successful in the world. Perhaps they have had to sacrifice having children or nurturing and knowing their children. Perhaps they have had no time for children and they feel a great loss.

These are hardships women face in society today, even though women may appear to be successful in the working world. For women to truly be successful as women, requires more than success in the working world. It requires proudly being a woman, carrying forward the values and standards of the feminine with pride; respecting the cycles of a woman’s life, of your life, your changes, the ups, and downs, ebbs and flows, days when you must rest, days when you should go out into the world, days when you feel slightly irritable. The cycles of menopause, the cycles of a woman’s life are like the rhythms of nature. They are a part of the rhythm of the earth and the moon. They are great. They are not weaknesses. They are the tides of nature.

Be a woman in the workforce, in the world! Make a place for women, so that success in the world will be on your terms, in the tides and rhythms of your body, your mind, your feelings, and your relationships. None of this should be forsaken, or sacrificed. It is time for the dominance of male values to end because the greatness women have to offer is not in being another man in a man’s workforce. but in bringing the feminine heart to work in order to change that masculine force. Women will soften it, modify it, dance with it in a rhythm that will soothe it and shape it and put an end to the strains that now rest upon the world. This process has already begun as women have come in mass to the workforce. Yet there is still a need for change." Passages from Feminine Mysticism
