Hi!
We need to get to the root of the problem - Patriarchy is a problem but not
the root of the problem - Greed is a problem - but not the root of the problem
- if you did dig deeper you found that Greed is caused by misplaced and wrong
values - that is a problem - so now we teach our children values, etc. and
patriarchy is caused by religion - for the non-religious on this list - please
allow me this explanation - ever institution and religious establisment in
this world has had some humble beginning from a MAN who believed that GOD is a
man - not a woman and not omnipotent but a MAN which makes MAN superior -
wrong/wrong/wrong!!! - The only way to cure this is to go back to the tree of
life - REALLY - go way back to the root of the problem! The problem started
when man began thinking that he alone was created in God's image and that
woman is only a companion and thus worthy of as much recognition and respect -
woman as subordinate helpmate -. Really - go back, dig deeper you will never
solve the problem by over-analyzining social structures - the problem is
religion - we need a holistic religion - a oneness of true love for life
itself - fertility and the feminine face of creation- please stop beating a
dead horse - patriarchies will never change until man and woman become equal
in every aspect of life - but especially in fertility/life issues and
religion!!! We can now offer religious proof that woman are equally divine
and sacred as man - and the Earth is also sacred - now isn't that beautiful -
would you like to know more - this is no sad and sorry story - this is the
divine unfolding of a grand and mysterious epoch. If we come together we can
make it happen!
This is a just a plea to anyone inclined to really solve the problem once and
for all! If you do not change attitudes about who the creator(s) of Earth is
you will never solve the problem! The problem is deeply embedded in our
psyches (sp?) - so dig deep - join us back at the tree of life back to our
roots - back to sacred ancient understandings of life on Earth! Reconnect
with your co-defenders/co-creators and to the Whole/Holistic truth once and
for all!
Thanks and love,
Angela

Hello Angela!
Have you checked out Chris King's message about a week or two ago on
the Ecofem. listserv? It has lots and lots about what your recent
post seems to be calling for, the design of a new religion.
I'll try to copy out his website address:
http://matul.math.auckland.ac.nz/~king/Preprints/book/genesis.htm
But beware, I think my computer caught a virus
about this time. I hope it didn't come from his website somehow- it
would just be like some people to try to sabotage a good thing thus!
Peace!
Bob Burns
