Chapter 13 Questions from a female journalist
-How did you get the idea to start a church that is centered around women?
-I am fascinated by your relationship to Christianity. Were you
raised Catholic or Protestant, or neither, and how has your relationship to the
religion evolved throughout your lifetime? It's no secret that many sects of
Christianity are known for being patriarchal, yet your vision of Christian
thought is resolutely feminist and reimagines the whole thing from our
perspective as women. Are there aspects of religion as it was taught to you
that you no longer believe, or have changed your mind about?
-You seem like someone who has had thousands of adventures. What
is your favorite country that you have visited and what was the most fun thing
you did there?
-You mentioned that in the future men will go extinct. Do you anticipate this change beginning with new technology allowing women to reproduce without men's involvement, or do you think it will happen using the technology we already have?
RASA ANSWERS:
{1} How did you get the idea to start a
church that is centered around women?
RASA:
Throughout my life I’ve been doing more or less the same thing most
other female activists have done – Trying to reform & or infiltrate
male religions; removing the filth of their misogyny to get to the good
underneath.
Many women have analyzed their bible,
{Elizabeth Cady Stanton, 1st wave of the Feminist Movement in
America, late 1800’s —‘The Women’s Bible,’ Emmeline Pankhurst of England – same
era - called God a She, Mary Baker Eddy who changed God from He to He-She for
her Christian Science religion} {Tenzin Palmo the Great Buddhist Leader-Reformer-who
confronts the Dalai Lama re their misogyny}, from the East to West, though some
understand all their religions, including Islam, originated from women’s religion,
***** From ‘The Woman’s Encyclopedia of
Myths & Secrets’ by Barbara G. Walker:
Koran:
Mohammedan scriptures, often erroneously
thought to have been written by Mohammed.
Moslems don’t believe this. But
many don’t know the Koran was an enlarged, revised version of the ancient Word
of the Goddess Kore,
revered by Mohammed’s tribe, the Koreshites {Children of Kore},
who guarded her shrine at
As in the case of
the Judeo-Christian Bible, the Koran was much rewritten to support new
patriarchal laws and to obliterate the figures of the Goddess and her Priestesses.

twisted & appropriated it for themselves, & upon the Throne
of the Almighty placed a male figure. The
pedestals of those who represent God, they put again, the male, & like the
Brahmins with the Sutras {untouchables}, the Brahmins claim emanation from the
mind of God, & the Sutras came out of his feet, having by law no human rights,
not even the right to attend their religious services, being forbidden to ever
touch a Brahmin, enjoined to obey Brahmins & the other castes, live in
subjection to them, do the dirtiest tasks & keep their mouths shut! It is arduous to confront men’s works, their
agenda, decipher it, get through the evils, their intent being to disempower
women by word & deed & place men as the head of everything, women as
the servants or slaves.
Fundamentalism in male religion:
A study was made of fundamentalism, what
exactly does it mean, after the Ayatollah Khomeini took over from the Shah of
Iran – there was a push to religious fundamentalism world wide. I heard the report on radio during that era. They came to this not surprising conclusion:
Religious fundamentalism is based on the
oppression of women! The more women are held down, the more
‘righteous’ their agenda is.
I also knew that women are superior
to men beginning with the teachings of Dr. Ashley Montagu with his book
‘The Natural Superiority of Women,’ published in 1953 – obviously this fact
came out of the new genetic findings re the chromosomes, that women have two X
chromosomes
while males have only one – the Y being the male second
chromosome & it is an inferior one {they think it’s a damaged X}…That human
men are a truncated female, all begin life as female, then when the fetus is
the size of a grapefruit seed, some of them begin to change into males, the
change being in the shutdown of reproduction – males cannot reproduce, they can
only give their DNA to a female for reproduction. {For this reason both Ashley Montagu &
Dr. Bryan Sykes, geneticist, say the human male is a parasite on the
body of the female}. The energy that would go into creating another life form
is then directed elsewhere, into larger physical size & muscles.
Next, the findings came out from Dr.
Bryan Sykes, world’s leading geneticist, in 2004, in his book ‘Adam’s curse – A
Future without Men,’ – which proves male extinction. He best describes the male this way,
“Human males are a genetic experiment
that did not work – therefore, nature is taking them out.”
He figures there will be no more males
within 100k years, give or take 25k years.
This also answers the last question “You
mentioned that in the future men will go extinct. Do you anticipate this change
beginning with new technology allowing women to reproduce without
men's involvement, or do you think it will happen using the
technology we already have?”
Dr. Sykes explains that human males
will go extinct because the Y chromosome is breaking down & cannot repair
itself. There is a natural damage
that is done to Chromosomes, & the X can repair itself, but the Y cannot. Therein lies the secret of female superiority
& male inferiority. Besides that,
Ashley Montagu outlines all the studies done on female superiority even in 1953
– there have been numerous more studies done since then, especially in the last
few years, why women are better than men mentally, emotionally, morally, in
management & leadership capacities.
And of course you look at the prisons which house a disproportionate
number of men - 98% men, 2% women.
One glaring fact of male inferiority is their slipping back in education, women pushing ahead. Male academics have been alarmed, but once the props of institutionalized discrimination were removed, {most institutions of higher learning were open only to men, women went to their own schools--example, Eleanor Roosevelt went to a private women's school--Ivy League Universities only opened their doors to women in 1976!} In other words, males were propped up by unjust laws, without this advantage, they can’t lord it over females; the females surpass them as they are more intelligent & capable.
Bryan Sykes says the future is all women. Women will reproduce without men, all the offspring female. One way will be taking 23 chromosomes from the egg of the female & placing it into the egg of another. It seems also we once had the ability of parthenogenesis – this will be renewed.
If you take an egg out of a woman, put
it in a petrie dish, attach some electrical energy, it begins to grow. You put it back into her body you will
produce a child, whereas, you do the same to a sperm – it’s not reproductive so
it dies.
There is the
question of why & how did human males appear? I believe it was the will of the female who
thought it a good idea at the time – to create another being who could not
reproduce but would act as a helpmate.
They chose males more & more for their machismo - & the male as we
know it today evolved because the women chose them for masculine
qualities. What are those
qualities? Here we come to the findings
of Dr. Daniel Amen, who I saw on the Oz show, explaining that from 75,000 brain
scans he & his colleagues conducted, they discovered that the front of
the male brain is asleep, while the back of the brain is active. The two sides of the brain also have little
connection, whereas in the female brain, both the front & the back are
equally active with many connections between the two.
What goes on in
the front & the back of the brain?
The back is the primitive instinct. The front is the spiritual, moral, psychic,
intellectual & impulse-controlling part of the brain.
That explains why males are what they’re like & why 98% of prison inmates are men, & why our world is so fukked up under their leadership. What are they like? No feelings - that worked for a while, males would do the killing of animals so the sensitive women wouldn’t have to. They are less intelligent, & therefore easily led. Only problem is, they stopped obeying their leader, woman, & began obeying other males – which led them into the present condition of an earth of atrocities, genocides, violence, rape, pedophilia, crime, chaos & the ultra danger of nuclear pollution, war & nuclear war. As Bryan Sykes said, they are a genetic experiment that did not work, so must be removed off the planet before they destroy it.
Now in conclusion
to why I devised a religion for women only, let me explain, that as long as we
recognize their religions as being important, that we must join, enter,
collaborate & work within their religions, we are on bended knee to them
& their ideas. We are making them
feel important, as if we need them & what they have created, when the opposite
is true. They originally took the ideas
& beliefs from us, not us from them, & so we are still those creatures
who in our minds, hearts & souls contain that truth, by which we wrote the
original words. So why go to them when
we are the first? We are the
originators, the blueprint, the foundation. They are not important, not necessary
- we don’t need them.
I have noticed
also that men cannot stand the idea of a sisterhood, or women in any way
walking away from them, being independent, starting their own organization,
speaking to one another privately – anything that is for women & them
alone, even a women’s night out – they oppose with vehemence. The greatest threat to them is women walking away,
being with other women, strengthening other women, agreeing, collaborating with
other women. They know that their
brotherhood is powerful & women getting together as sisters, proving
themselves to one another instead of kow towing to men, is the greatest threat
to their brotherhood. It’s been them
against us, they have won. They have
silenced us, they have made us hate ourselves & one another, & so, if
we begin respecting ourselves to the point we start our own religion, &
sisters join sisters in a collegiate form, a republic of thought, this
frightens them, this actually makes them hysterical with fear.
I absolutely know, when our religion is
publicized, declared, & has a constituency, men will go ape shit
crazy. The idea! -The cheek, the
arrogance, to build a religion where we aren’t even allowed to visit, or have
anything to do with. They don’t need
us? We are so important. We enjoy being the top bananas, lording over
women, women begging to become priests, women knowing they’re inferior that
they aren’t even allowed into our
entrance, this is illegal, immoral & uncharitable, and they
are cruel & evil to do this!
Now you see how
the shoe is on the other foot? They are
protesting! They are asking to be a part
of our religion; we are no longer
recognizing their format as something we need to belong to. Now we have won, we have beaten them.
And so, this new
religion is Female Empowerment at its best.
We write our own rules, laws & Commandments, they cannot interfere,
intrude, have anything whatsoever to say, we have left them in the dust, we are
now empowered, they are disempowered in one stroke of spiritual genius.
{2} I am fascinated by your relationship to
Christianity. Were you raised Catholic or Protestant, or neither, and how has
your relationship to the religion evolved throughout your lifetime? It's no
secret that many sects of Christianity are known for being patriarchal, yet
your vision of Christian thought is resolutely feminist and reimagines the whole
thing from our perspective as women. Are there aspects of religion as it was
taught to you that you no longer believe, or have changed your mind
about?
RASA: I was raised
Catholic & accept much of what it teaches excluding its misogyny & sex
prohibitions. Their teachings about sex
are to hold women down, & they employ the double standard. Masturbation is not sin, homosexuality is not
a sin, sex between consenting adults is their business. I do not believe birth control is against God
– in fact – forbidding condoms puts women at a great disadvantage for many
reasons, one being unwanted pregnancies, two being diseases including the fatal
AIDS.
{In
As far as abortion, it’s a woman’s
choice with her own conscience, women are sometimes raped – I was raped &
had an abortion. I don’t like abortion, but if women had sexual freedom
including the right to say no, there wouldn’t be so many unwanted pregnancies. I don’t believe in using abortion as a form
of birth control –– condoms should always be used unless one seeks pregnancy.
As far as their
theology of what God wants of us, why God created us, to know love & serve
Her, that is fine & good. Heaven
& Hell & Purgatory I’m fine with.
I minister to Purgatory, have written a book on it.
I’m well versed
with the saints & their mystical experiences, I am one of them. I have seen God face to face & wrote a
book about it.
So take out the
bad stuff, as I said, & I’m fine with the Catholic teaching.
My path, however,
had to expand. It isn’t against their
theology, it’s that no religion covers everything, & I moved on to Yoga
& its saints, & the teachings of Yoga masters & Gurus. God is Infinite; there will never be one
religion which covers it all.
{3} You seem like
someone who has had thousands of adventures. What is your favorite country that
you have visited and what was the most fun thing you did there?
RASA: Yes indeed, thousands of adventures. I love tropical places, & so, I enjoyed
My favorite place
was
I loved the
beach, the water, the romance including dates & trysts with beautiful
males.
I also loved their tortillas &
beans, sometimes cooked on an outdoor fire by a housewife in some
out-of-the-way place, cheap & delicious.
Love their food. It’s another
world far from the one I knew, a different way of life where I felt free - That
about covers it.
