XXVI - THE NEW RELIGION - How Sexual liberation helps create a Matriarchal society. 10-14-19
Guest author William Bond with Rasa Von Werder Comments
Rasa Von Werder says:
I have said that no man can preach or teach in our religion, but William Bond is no man, he is a Light from Mother God. Let him take part in the building of our religion, as he’s taken part in the Matriarchal movement all his life. He is the Prophet of Matriarchy & the Right Hand of Mother God. His presence here does not suggest any other men can preach or teach with us – he is the first & only one & let no other man come forward after this as they will not be able to walk in his footsteps. William has been my partner in the work since I appeared on the internet in 2004 – His writing has informed me & been an important part of shaping the theories & philosophy of Matriarchy. There is no other man like him, & might not be for many years. He is one I a million. P.S. Don’t worry about his lack of grammar finesse. It’s the ideas that are relevant. Here he is:
How Sexual liberation helps create a Matriarchal society.
From WILLIAM BOND: His writing is regular, mine is CAPS.
Some feminists have claimed that one of the hindrances of female empowerment is that women have to, “sleep with the enemy”, and live with men. Where, men have the advantage of greater size, strength and aggression. But perhaps there might be a way around this, if we give up the patriarchal doctrine that men and women have to live together as a couple.
We can find an alternative to this; if we look to our ape ancestors chimpanzees and bonobos. This is instructive, because both of these species of ape are our closest cousins genetically, because we share 98% of our genes with them.
What is very interesting is that the chimpanzees live in strict patriarchal societies while bonobos are matriarchal. Humans also seem to be patriarchal but it seems in prehistoric times we once lived in matriarchal societies, which suggests that we humans do have a choice about what type of society we wish to live in.
Chimpanzee culture is very easy to understand, it has a strict hierarchal system where the biggest and strongest males are the boss and dominate other males who are not so physically powerful. Though all the males dominate the females who are smaller than the males.
Bonobo societies are more complex as the female dominate the males through a powerful sisterhood.
RASA SAYS:
HERE IS THE KEY WORD: SISTERHOOD. I AM WAITING FOR MY SISTERS TO JOIN ME, THEY WON’T DO IT. I ASK WILLIAM WHY? I HAVE MY THEORIES, LET’S HEAR YOURS. WHY ARE WOMEN AT ODDS WITH EACH OTHER? WHY DON’T THEY JOIN UP? WHY DON’T THEY FORM BETTER BONDS, AS ADULTS? THEY ARE SISTERS IN SCHOOL, ONCE SCHOOL IS OUT, THEY DEPART ONE ANOTHER & MOST JOIN MEN, & THEREUPON SINGLE SISTERS ARE OUSTED. HOW CAN THIS BE CHANGED?
Bonobo males like chimpanzee males are larger than bonobo females but the bonobo females stick together in a powerful sisterhood. The way this works is that if a bonobo male was to attack a bonobo female, all the bonobo females in the same area will come to her defence and attack the lone bonobo male. Because of this, it is the sisterhood that dominate bonobo society and not powerful alpha males like with chimpanzees.
This approach has been suggested by feminists for humans who created the slogan, “the sisterhood is powerful”. But unfortunately sisterhood among human females is not strong enough to overcome male aggression and dominance. To appreciate why, we have to understand more about the bonobo and chimpanzee.
Another big difference between the chimpanzee and bonobo is that the bonobo seems to be sex mad. Most animals only have sex for a few days every year. This happens at the time of the year when most food starts to be available, so that the female is well fed during her pregnancy and when nursing her young. The chimpanzee like most other animals is exactly the same, only having sex when the female is in season. But there are two animals where this is not true, and they are the bonobo and human.
RASA SAYS:
INDEED, THE BONOBOS SETTLE ALL DISPUTES, PROBLEMS & PAINS BY AFFECTION, BY TOUCHING, FEELING, RUBBING, HUGGING & SEX. WE DO HAVE SOME OF THAT AS HUMANS – NOT AS INTENSE.
Both humans and bonobos can have sex any time of the year and so are not restricted to seasonal sex. As the result, we find that in bonobo society sex is not only used to fertilize females, it is used as a powerful method of social bonding. Bonobo customs dictate that when two bonobos are in any form of dispute they make it up by having sex together. This doesn’t matter if the two bonobos are a male and female or two males or two females. It seems that in bonobo society there is no demarcation line between heterosexuality and homosexuality, everyone is bisexual.
RASA SAYS:
YES, THE KINSEY REPORT SUGGESTS THAT MANY OF US ARE BISEXUAL, BUT OF COURSE PATRIARCHY DOES NOT WANT THIS, BECAUSE THEY WANT ALL MALES TO IMPREGNATE FEMALES TO DISEMPOWER US. IT’S HARD TO HAVE KIDS & FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS AT THE SAME TIME. HAVING KIDS FOR US IS PART OF PATRIARCHY’S DISEMPOWERMENT OF US, AS IT MAKES US DEPENDENT ON THEM FOR ROOM & BOARD & PROTECTION.
THEIR DISCRIMINATION OF HOMOSEXUALS, ALTHOUGH THEY ARE GROSS HYPOCRITES, IS BECAUSE THEY WANT ALL MEN TO DISEMPOWER ALL WOMEN, LIKE AN ARMY OF INSEMINATORS.
This suggests that the strong social bonding through sex, greatly enhances feminine power and undermines masculine power. This is because in any animal society the only way females can overcome the greater size and strength of males is through a powerful sisterhood, where females support each other. This means that the sisterhood in bonobo society is possible when females bond, by having sex with each other
So it is interesting that homosexuality is discouraged or even outlawed in most human patriarchal societies. Is this because they want to break up any form of sisterhood among women? It suggests that lesbian sex has a far stronger effect in bonding females together, than homosexual male relationships. It is probably because men’s greater aggression and competitive instincts works against males when trying to bond with other males, even if they are homosexual. While, women’s instincts to love others, is enhanced, when having intimate relationships with other women.
RASA SAYS:
WOMEN’S ALLIANCES WILL BE ALL THERE IS IN THE DISTANT FUTURE, WHEN MALES ARE EXTINCT. WE MIGHT AS WELL START PREPARING FOR THAT NOW.
THE ONLY STUDY/REPORT I KNOW ABOUT FEMALE COUPES IS THEY HAVE EXPERIMENTED WITH GIVING CHILDREN FOR FOSTER CARE TO THEM. WHEREAS WITH COUPLE HAVING A MALE PRESENT, THERE ARE HUGE STATISTICS OF ABUSE, BUT WITH FEMALES THERE ARE NONE. THERE HAVE BEEN NO CASES REPORTED OF ANY FEMALE COUPLES HAVING ABUSED ANY FOSTER CHILD.
Many feminists have pointed out that one of the reasons why women are powerless is because too many women seem to love men, more than they love other women. The reason for this, might be that in patriarchal societies, women are only allowed have sex with men and are discouraged from having sex with other women.
RASA SAYS:
PERHAPS WE MUST THEN WORK ON WOMEN NOT BEING AFRAID TO HAVE SEX WITH OTHER WOMEN, TO BOND WITH THEM, MARRY THEM & FOSTER OR ADOPT. I AGREE WOMEN DO NOT LOVE OTHER WOMEN & IT COULD WELL BE PATRIARCHAL PROPAGANDA DISCOURAGING OUR LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER.
So where humans in the past like bonobos and women form a powerful sisterhood through lesbian sex? One piece of evidence for this is the clitoris. Patriarchal scientists and religions tell us that sex is only about reproduction, yet the female clitoris is only used for sexual pleasure. The clitoris is not needed for reproduction as a woman can get pregnant without it.
RASA SAYS:
THIS IS A BRILLIANT POINT WHICH I NEVER EVEN THOUGHT OF!
This is one of the reasons why some patriarchal religions like Islam cut off women’s clitorises. The clitoris may not be needed for sex between a dominant male and a submissive female, but is essential for sex between two females. So cutting off women’s clitoris may be a way to discourage lesbian sex and so undermine sisterhood between women.
RASA SAYS:
TRULY, WHERE HAVE I BEEN? THESE THOUGHTS NEVER ENTERED MY HEAD. HERE IS WHERE THE PARTNERSHIP FROM WILLIAM COMES IN, MOTHER GOD MAKES HIM THINK IN WAYS I HAVE NOT, IT EXPANDS OUR UNDERSTANDING OF HOW PATRIARCHY MUST BE SMASHED.
LIKE OUR PARTNER FREYJA DERRICKSON SAID: WITH MEN, WOMEN RARELY ORGASM, WITH OTHER WOMEN, ALWAYS!
It would be unrealistic to demand all women to become lesbians but bisexuality may be possible. After all, women do complain a lot about the behaviour of men when they live with them. So any woman who has had a bad experience living with men may think about living with another woman, if this is socially acceptable. Another point is that if more women start to live together it means that men will be forced to “up their game”, and please women, if they want to live with them.
RASA SAYS:
YES, IF IT WAS ACCEPTABLE. BUT IT ISN’T. SO LET’S MAKE IT SO. JUST TURN OUR BACKS ON THEM, WHOEVER OF US HAS THE GUTS TO BECOME BISEXUAL & DO IT – GO FOR IT.
AND YES, WHEN THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE TO BEASTLY MEN EXCEPT OTHER BEASTS, THEY HAVE IT MADE. BUT WHEN WOMEN ARE MORE EASILY AVAILABLE, IT’S AN OUT FOR MANY WOMEN & LEVERAGE AGAINST THE CREEPS.
So would a return to matriarchy be as simple as simply encouraging women to have sex together? It might be, because it seems to work very well for the bonobo ape. The obvious way women can overcome men’s greater size, strength, aggression and competitiveness is to form a powerful sisterhood. This then is only possible if women can love each other, more than they love men.
RASA SAYS:
OF COURSE WE COULD OVERTHROW THEM QUICKLY IF WE ALL FORMED RELATIONSHIPS WITH WOMEN – BUT TO GET WOMEN USED TO THE IDEA, UNFORTUNATELY LIKE ANYTHING ELSE, WOULD TAKE TIME – TOO MANY GENERATIONS, BUT WE CAN HELP GET THIS GOING.
HERE IS WHAT I THINK, EASE INTO IT. SUGGEST TO WOMEN TO GET MARRIED OR LIVE TOGETHER FOR PRACTICAL REASONS, NOT SEX, FOR THOSE WHO ARE ASHAMED OR EMBARRASSED ABOUT SEX WITH WOMEN OR DON’T HAVE THE DESIRE.
MAKE IT EASY FOR WOMEN TO GET HOUSING TOGETHER, LIKE SUPER-APARTMENTS WHERE MEN AREN’T ALLOWED, BUT WOMEN HAVE THE GREATEST AMENITIES FOR THEMSELVES & CHILDREN. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT MEN BE BARRED FOR REASONS OF SECURITY & THAT WOMEN WOULD GET USED TO BEING WITH OTHER WOMEN FOR HELP, COMPANIONSHIP & SUPPORT. LOVE RELATIONSHIPS COULD FORM OUT OF THIS.
BUT IF MEN WERE ALLOWED IT WOULD DISCOURAGE THE CONCEPT & ALSO COMPROMISE THE SAFETY OF WOMEN & CHILDREN.
ONE IMPORTANT FACET OF WOMEN’S LIVING TOGETHER IN GROUPS, COMMUNES, APARTMENTS OR HOUSES:
THEY WILL HAVE A CHAPEL OR CHURCH IN THEIR MIDST TO WORSHIP OUR MOTHER GOD. THEY WILL HERE TEACH THEIR CHILDREN TO WORSHIP THUSLY, ACCEPT GOD AS MOTHER & LIVE HER WAYS, SEE LIFE DIFFERENTLY THAN THE BRUTAL PATRIARCHY.
Patriarchy works well when it is able to isolate women. We can see this in chimpanzee society where sisterhood between females is almost non-existent. As a result, every female chimpanzee has to fend for themselves alone and has to look for protection from males to protect herself. So being very submissive to please strong males, is the only way a female chimpanzee and her young, can survive in the brutal chimpanzee society.
RASA SAYS:
THIS IS EXACTLY THE QUAGMIRE THE PATRIARCHAL SOCIETY HAS PUT US INTO. OH, WOE IS ME, WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO US!
This is also true of women in patriarchal human societies, who likewise have to learn to please rich and powerful males to have a decent life or become successful. Many actresses even today are interviewed on the ‘casting couch’ to get into films. Businesswomen and female politicians also have to please rich and powerful men if they are to progress in our patriarchal world. While marrying a wealthy man is still the easiest way a woman can gain wealth and power.
RASA SAYS:
I HAVE PREDICTED IN ‘THE FUTURE OF MEN & WOMEN’ THAT THE TABLES WILL TURN, & MEN WILL BE SEEKING RICH & POWERFUL WOMEN. THEY WILL BE GOING FOR COSMETICS, BETTER HAIRDOS, THEY WILL DIET & TRAIN TO LOOK GOOD, THEY WILL WEAR BETTER, TIGHTER, MORE REVEALING CLOTHES, THEY WILL GET COSMETIC SURGERY, THEY WILL WORK ON BEING MORE CHARMING & POLITE, BETTER MANNERS, BEING BETTER LOVERS, SOCIAL SKILLS, THE WILL BUY BOOKS THAT SAY ‘HOW TO WIN THAT SUCCESSFUL WOMAN YOU WANT.’
BOOKS & MAGAZINES WILL BE FILLED WITH ADVICE TO MEN HOW TO BE BETTER AT CATCHING & PLEASING WOMEN & HOW TO KEEP THEM.
SOME OF THIS IS COMING TRUE – I WROTE THIS FIFTEEN YEARS AGO, & MEN’S CLOTHING IS WAY TIGHTER & MORE REVEALING NOW – LOOK AT THE SUITS.
The contrast between chimpanzee and bonobo societies couldn’t be greater, where bonobo females can always look for protection from other females. For this to work, it means that the patriarchal idea of marriage has to be broken up. This then would require for women to live in commutes, which is a big advantage for mothers as they can help each other care for their children. Men won’t like this, as it means they will have less access to females and have to be on their best behaviour, if they want to visit any commune to have sex.
RASA SAYS:
YES, COMMUNES ARE MATRIARCHIES, WHERE WOMEN PROTECT ONE ANOTHER. BUT THEY MUST BE COACHED SO THAT ONE GUY BREAKING IN WITH A KNIFE OR GUN DOES NOT KILL MULTIPLE WOMEN, LIKE DID RICHARD SPECK:
A mass murderer leaves eight women dead - HISTORY
A mass murderer leaves eight women dead. On the night of July 14, 1966, eight student nurses are brutally murdered by Richard Speck at their group residence in Chicago, Illinois. Speck threatened the women with both a gun and a knife, tying each of them up while robbing their townhouse. Over the next several hours,.................................................................................
THIS IS NO JOKE. WOMEN MUST PREPARE FOR INTRUSIONS LIKE THIS. THE SLIGHTEST BREECH OF THEIR SECURITY MUST BE DEALT WITH – THEY MUST REHEARSE WHAT THEY WILL DO IF A MAN ENTERS THE COMMUNE OR PROHIBITED APT, HOW THEY WILL DEAL WITH HIM & GET RID OF HIM PRONTO.
ONE OF THE BEST IDEAS IS GUARD DOGS, GERMAN SHEPHERDS, AS WELL AS ELECTRONIC SURVEILLANCE.
SOME APARTMENTS HAVE THESE FACILITIES, BUT THEY ARE NOT ALWAYS MONITORED – THE PLACES MUST BE WATCHED 24/7 BY REPUTABLE, PAID FEMALES.
THERE SHOULD ALSO BE ARMED GUARDS TRAINED FEMALES, AS MALE GUARDS WILL END UP BOTHERING THE TENANTS, SOME TENANTS MIGHT LET THEM – THAT WOULD BE BREACH OF SECURITY ESP. IF THEY ARE ARMED. MEN ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED ALL ARE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS.
So if women are encouraged to find sexual fulfillment with other women, then they will no longer have to, “sleep with the enemy”, and we be free to form a powerful sisterhood with other women. This sisterhood can be used to create women only businesses and political parties so women no longer have to look to rich and powerful men for support and money.
RASA SAYS:
WE HAVE BEEN AT THE MERCY OF MEN FAR TOO LONG, THEY SAY,
“THE GOLDEN RULE IS THE ONE WITH THE GOLD MAKES THE RULES,”
SAD BUT TRUE FOR WOMEN & POOR PEOPLE OF THE PAST.
EVEN MALES WHO DOLE OUT SIMPLE LITTLE JOBS TO FEMALES DEMAND SEX. I RECALL A PRETTY WAITRESS IN B’KLYN WHO HAD TO GO IN THE BACK ROOM & GIVE BLOW JOBS TO THE UGLY FAT BOSS FOR HER JOB.
ANY PLACE WHERE THE ONE IS IN CHARGE, THEY CAN DOMINATE THE ONE WHO ISN’T. TIME FOR WOMEN TO MOVE FORWARD.
Some women may object to this and claim they are strictly heterosexual and could never have sex with another woman.
RASA SAYS:
WHEN WE THINK OF THE ALTERNATIVE BETWEEN HAVING SEX WITH SOME OF THESE DISGUSTING MALES VS. WOMEN, THE WOMEN ARE USUALLY LESS DISGUSTING.
IF WOMEN HAVE TO HAVE SEX WITH WOMEN TO GET A JOB, AT LEAST THERE WILL BE NO CHANCE OF GETTING PREGNANT BY IT.
Yet we know sexuality is flexible. Confine people into prisons and both men and women will have homosexual relationships. This suggests, bisexuality, may be far more commonplace than we realise.
RASA SAYS:
I HAVE INTERVIEWED AT LENGTH A MAN WHO SPENT EIGHT YEARS IN JAIL. HE SAID SOME OF THE MEN – LATINS IN PARTICULAR – WOULD CHOOSE PARTNERS WHERE ONE WAS THE WIFE, THE OTHER THE HUSBAND. THE WIFE HAD TO WAIT ON THE HUSBAND-- RIDICULOUSLY FUNNY.
People fall into heterosexual relationships because it is considered to be ‘normal’ and it is easier to be one of the flock. Even today, homosexuality is seen as unusual and it takes a strong minded person to, ‘come out’ and openly declare themselves to be homosexual. It also can be equally difficult to be openly bisexual, because people get confused by this.
RASA SAYS:
IT’S A PREJUDICED WORLD BUT WHATEVER IT TAKES TO BRING MATRIARCHY I’M ALL FOR IT. WE HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE, PERHAPS BY PRAYING. IF WE PRAY THE SITUATIONS WILL COME, WE WILL BE BROUGHT TO THEM & THEY TO US. I MEAN RELATIONSHIPS, COMMUNES, APTS FOR WOMEN, SOCIAL GROUPS FOR WOMEN, CLUBS FOR WOMEN, HOTELS EXCLUSIVELY FOR WOMEN & THE LIKE.
It is of interest that nearly all patriarchal societies and religions tend to see sex as a ‘sinful’ or ‘dirty’. This is because even submissive women can use sex to influence men. It suggests that patriarchy does see sexual liberation as a threat to it. So if we can learn from the bonobo ape and be sexually freer, it could result in a matriarchal society.
RASA SAYS:
“THE ORIGINS OF PEACE & VIOLENCE” DR. JAMES W. PRESCOTT EXPLAINS THAT SOCIETIES WHICH HARBOR SEXUAL REPRESSION FOR WOMEN ARE VIOLENT ONES, WHILE THE OPPOSITE BODES PEACE.
SEXUAL LIBERATION FOR WOMEN IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST THREATS TO PATRIARCHY TO BE SURE.
I DID MY LIBERTY BIT PUSHING THE ‘COUGAR’ IDEA, DATING YOUNG MALES, PHOTOGRAPHING THEM, PUBLICIZING IT & MAKING BOOKS. I’M TIRED OF THAT PROJECT, BUT IT DID BEAR SOME FRUIT, NOT AS MUCH AS IT COULD HAVE BECAUSE THE MALES DID NOT COOPERATE.
THERE WAS A MAJOR COMPANY THAT WANTED TO DOCUMENT MY RELATIONSHIP WITH A YOUNG LOVER FOR A FILM, BUT HE WOULD NOT COOPERATE. OTHER OPPORTUNITIES CAME, BUT THEY WOULD NOT DO IT. I GOT WEARY OF THE WHOLE THING AS YOUNG GUYS ARE ATROCIOUS TO DEAL WITH & DANGEROUS.
Woman, thou art God.
These are great ideas to be worked on. Think about them, see if you can do any of this, & PRAY. The beginning of anything is prayer, faith, confidence, a positive attitude. With Mother God, WE CAN DO ANYTHING.

XXV - the NEW RELIGION - WHAT PROFIT A WOMAN - 10-14-19
What profit a woman if she gains the whole world but loses her soul, for what will she exchange for her soul?
When I was twelve years old I saw a play on television. Two men were endlessly waiting for ‘Godot.’ It was not explained who or what this was except you imagine it’s someone or something special.
They waited & waited, each one kept asking the other if he’d seen Godot, but no one had, they were frustrated.
Finally this guy comes along carrying a bag full of rags. They ask his name. He says,
“I am Godot.”
They don’t believe him, they argue.
Godot is of course God, but we fail to recognize that we find Her IN OUR POVERTY, which means spiritual poverty, (not FINANCIAL RUIN)—which means no attachment to people, things, the world, fame & fortune, being somebody special, etc. It is utmost humility, lack of ego, being like a person ‘dead’ to the world.
I am not being a wise-ass saying I am perfect & always there. But I have been there, for periods of time, & that was when I had my PEAK EXPERIENCES OF GOD especially seeing God FACE TO FACE. ‘You cannot see God as God is & live’ is apropos. Understand ‘to live’ is to be alive with the antonyms of poverty.
St. Francis of Assisi was seeking the ultimate vision of God. He was loaned the use of a mountain named Alverna. He climbed that mountain laboriously to find Truth, & there She was, a pitiful waif dressed in rags.
The Sacred Exchange between Saint Francis and Lady Poverty
The Sacred Exchange between Saint Francis and Lady Poverty is a text of the early Franciscan movement. Scholars suggest a date in the late thirteenth century. “Holy poverty … is the foundation and guardian of all virtues.”
Jesus came to earth to exemplify poverty – He taught it to us. Never did he seek fame or fortune, recognition yes, but for his WORK, for God Almighty, not for EGO or aggrandizement of the flesh.
His story is etched in the minds of many, but do we apply it to ourselves or do the opposite? Most people when asked what they’d like more than anything in the world will say ‘To win the lottery,’ or ‘To have a million dollars.’
But the person who HAS a million dollars should say
“All I want is the Will of God.”
You can’t go wrong with the Will of God – It’s a prayer THAT CANNOT FAIL. There are numerous prayers you can make, but in the end, the Will of God is what matters, what takes us & everyone to Our Greatest God – ask for a thousand things, but those things granted, be they not the Will of God cannot make us happy.
Why people want wealth – they make excuses,
“It’s for my family – for my children.”
Well, don’t have a family, don’t burden the world with your children & you don’t have to be rich.
Seek spiritual riches because they are forever, but money you ‘cannot take it with you.’
THE GRACES NO ONE PRAYS FOR
A stigmatized monk in Italy—Bro Gino—(who later became a priest) saw Our Holy Mother standing by the side of the road weeping. He asked her why & She said,
“Because I have graces to give WHICH NO ONE ASKS FOR. He did not explain any further.
I began to pray, each day for these graces, not knowing what they were. This was late maybe October 1981.
A couple months later I was standing face a picture of Our Lord on the wall when I felt Her calling me to turn around, where Her image was opposite
The room became rarified with Light – I heard Her say –
“Do you like the Graces my Son gave you?”
I said,
“Yes, what more could anyone ask for?”
(She was referring to the three Graces, symbolized by rings on my left hand, which represented Faith, Hope & Charity, that Our Lord gave me in January, 1978.)
She said,
“I have my Graces to give you also.”
I said,
“What are they, Mother?”
She said,
“They are poverty, chastity & obedience.”
I then asked her to clarify what she meant by poverty, She said,
“That you not be attached to the things of the world & people – only to God.”
I saw a grey rope made of Light around my waist, extending into Heaven, in fact, three ropes as She described the graces.
I asked what was meant by obedience, & She said,
“Obedience to all the words you know of my Son & myself.”
(BTW although there aren’t many teachings from Holy Mary in the bible, the book ‘Mystical City of God’ by Ven. Mary of Agreda, is the life & teachings of Our Holy Mother – there is rich material there.)
I felt I understood ‘chastity’ but now looking back I wish I had asked, that chastity could be much more than refraining from sex.
I then rattled on about wished-for projects including the ‘Mary Magdalene Monastery’ which was for women who wanted to leave the adult trade & abusive men. She heard me through & said,
“I will come for you when you are finished with your work.”
The Light faded, the vision ended.
WHAT IS SPIRITUAL POVERTY?
Having the grace of poverty does not mean you will be worried about paying your bills, it means ‘Putting first the Kingdom of God & everything shall be added unto you.’
God knows when it’s appropriate for you to live ‘week to week,’ or even be dead broke & homeless & God knows when you should be flush.
If God wants you to do a work for Her if it takes money (& usually does) then She will put it in your hands. Few homeless people are doing the work of God, Jesus wasn’t homeless & few saints were – some might have been for a time, but even the poorest, humblest saints usually lived in convents, monasteries, or were somehow sheltered & fed.
I recall reading how St. Clare of Assisi & her women were ‘provided for’ by the men of St. Francis order. (She was St. Francis top disciple & entered into religious life inspired by him. She also gave up a privileged lifestyle for God.) Am not sure who provided the roof over their heads – (it was not great but they made do) – but I read they contributed food. Mostly, it says that she & the Poor Clares ‘lived by the work of their hands.’
Better yet, Saint Benedict (the father of monasticism) lived as a hermit where crows brought him bread! Men pleaded he build a place for them to serve God & he created the first monastery. This is important:
St. Benedict said that living the life of a hermit alone was superior (spiritually) to living in a monastery or convent, the latter being the next best thing. Remember how I urged you to be alone as much as possible? There are good reasons for this.
You cannot find THE GOD WITHIN amidst the clamor & distractions of other people & the world. The God within us is in THE UNCONSCIOUS. When you traverse the world’s planes the unconscious closes up like a clam shell because to remain OPEN is psychologically dangerous. I have experienced this where my inner voice said to me, as I embarked on the road for dancing,
“I have to close up as you are suffering too much.”
I actually heard a large, heavy iron door like creaking shut!
It was sad, as I would not be unable to hear the still, small voice of God effectively – it took work to get to it, it didn’t speak to me spontaneously.
I have not been lucky enough to stay in that state for years on end – it always ended when I had to go to work or for some reason or other, associate a lot with people.
How do you suffer in the world & from people? Do I have to explain? Every time I begin to get conversational with people there is stress, different degrees of it. It could be just mild or wild. If someone gets close to you & does challenging things – things that get to your emotions – if someone says or does something to you that hurts or confounds you the focus goes to that - then the unconscious shuts down so your spiritual radar won’t get blown. I don’t know how else to explain it.
The spiritual thoughts, feelings, emotions are super sensitive & they cannot be ‘out there’ in a gross world, within gross situations. Even being a clerk in a store is gross to the unconscious mind or the spirit. Your mind enters into money, merchandise & customers. You’re thinking of time & space, functioning without making mistakes, customers can vent their displeasure or wrath – it all takes away from God. Then of course you worry as you need the job about getting fired, you are never completely relaxed or secure. Even the most innocent job or outside project can be a distraction.
Now if the job is dangerous, such as being in war, especially the front lines, or walking the street in the adult trade, the stress goes off the chart. Here not only can you not concentrate on God, you need a drug to keep from going crazy.
(For adult trade workers it’s a catch 22 situation. They need drugs to hold down the anxiety. THEY GET RAPED ONCE A WEEK. Then they get addicted & have to work for more drugs. The judicial justice system does not help, it is a de facto pimp when it arrests adult workers & fines them. The worker must pay the government with sex acts to keep going – they go ‘round a circle of work, get fined, work more to pay fines. Their work is legitimate, but criminalizing them makes the society a pimp..........Adult trade workers have as much right to do what they do as does a psychologist, psychiatrist, doctor or nurse, a chiropractor or masseuse – they are assisting men with serious physical, emotional needs – they are not criminals in the eyes of God.)
A woman exhausted from a regular job plus the daily chores of life might not have the wherewithal to do God’s work. Such work might be temporary, in God’s economy & God will find her a way later on, possibly with the resources she collected.
Women, such as myself, might gain money through business, invest it & later use it for spiritual projects. One style of life isn’t for all time.
I was totally intimate with God, in a state of perfection, in 1980-81 & up to late 1982.
Then I prayed for the Interior Divine Stigmata, received it, all my Holy Spirit Gifts (the ability to use them though Gifts are never taken away once given) & Intimacy with God were removed. But in Her economy, She prepared for me a business in 1987, then a fiancé & husband who could live with my celibacy. I could not pray intimately to God – it was the ‘dark night of the soul’ where the Presence of God, Her consolation, left me. But I was able to tithe for Souls in Purgatory, a tidy sum of money every year, & accumulated bread for future spiritual work, & later, my husband enabled me with money to build the church.
This spiritually empty state remained with me from October 9, 1982 until the year 2000 – eighteen years without God – similar to when Jesus was ‘done in’ on the Cross & said,
“My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”
And this, I might add, is SPIRITUAL POVERTY. You might be rich in money, but oh how poor you are in the Dark Night of the Soul.
GOD PROVIDES FOR HER WORK
God also provides to women She has called, in bygone days, through their husbands. Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s husband was well off – Emmeline Pankhurst’s was a doctor.
(In Pankhurst’s time there was a slum in England called ‘The West End.’ Jack London wrote of it extensively. He, as a journalist, actually lived & worked there, even went to the ‘work houses’ to discover the situation. Those from there who could get jobs were paid below minimum wage. What could they do for anyone in that condition? The West End described by London was a quasi-hell—the people a Patriarchal society as explained by Karl Marx, wants to propagate so they have a body of souls to exploit—wage slavery.)
Jesus’ ministry was supported by the families of the disciples, his Mother Mary, other Holy Women – especially Mary Magdalene. Magdalene was NOT a prostitute! That lie was perpetrated by a priesthood that wanted to degrade her. She was actually the millionaire-status daughter of a Roman Prince & a Jewess, she owned the city of Magdala. Anne Catherine Emmerich, a stigmatized mystic, said of all the disciples of Jesus, she was the most spiritually advanced.
Some people believe that Magdalene was Jesus’ common-law wife – I have no problem with that. Sex is not a sin, Jesus was human, if she was His wife it in no way diminished His greatness nor hers.
Upon the discovery of the Magdalene Gospel some truths were discovered hitherto unknown. It seems that Jesus wanted her to head his Church, but of course, the men, with Peter as top banana, wouldn’t have it. They pushed her out, she went to the Essenes, an austere sisterhood who lived as a hermitage in caves.
In her gospel it says that ‘Jesus kissed her on the lips’ which displays intimacy, that she was his favorite, & the men disciples were jealous.
Anne Catherine Emmerich says that Magdalene gave Jesus good sums of money, with which he bailed out hundreds of innocent souls from jail.
When traveling, the disciples lodged with their families, & many Holy Women gave help.
Luke 8:3 Joanna the wife of Herod's household manager Chuza ...
and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others who were contributing to their support out of their private means.
Jesus ministry could hardly have survived with no money & God does not expect you to work for Her without providing for you!
“Put first the Kingdom of God & everything shall be added unto you!”
And also,
“Take care of God’s business & She will take care of yours.”
Woman, thou art God.
Jesus, & all his saints, were revolutionaries. They did not fall into the trap of this evil Patriarchy. They resisted its teachings & lies, & so must you.
Jesus taught Love, & Matriarchy is Love. We stand for the Culture of Life, Love, Do unto others as you would have others do unto you, Love thy neighbor as thyself – Whatever you do to the least of these you do to me, Patriarchy does the opposite, & that includes Patriarchy’s Mullahs, Priests & ministers – most of them. They are not your friends & should not be your leaders, guides or teachers. Keep away from them & keep your children away.
To be like Jesus & all the saints, turn your back on Patriarchy, step apart from it. Find your autonomy, your own sainthood, do not degrade yourself into materialism & the lower things of life, do not believe their lies about women, or their version of scriptures & truth, live for your own God & Happiness.
Don’t be afraid of Patriarchs, trust in Mother God to provide for you, don’t even be afraid of death, be afraid of the death of your soul, which men of Patriarchy seek. Live & be a brave woman, not a coward who gives in to the demons. Resist the demons, obey no man. Stand apart stand free & tall – begin now.

XXIV THE POWER OF PRAYER THE NEW RELIGION WOMAN THOU ART GOD 10-12-19
Most people think that prayer is effortless, that it doesn’t take time & energy, it isn’t work. What they do – moving rocks on a chain gang or sitting endlessly at a computer formatting jargon is real work – prayer is just an afterthought, a mosquito in the air – a pathetic whimper or irritating drone when one is suffering.
They think that way because that’s how they pray & that’s why their prayers aren’t answered – these prayers have no POWER.
“The fervent prayer of a righteous woman availeth much.”
But they are NOT FERVENT & NOT RIGHTEOUS.
When they say to someone ‘I’ll pray’ – the person is dying of cancer – they mean they will do some lip service, speak a few words to the Almighty as if they were the right hand of God, & God doesn’t even hear them because they aren’t CONNECTED. God does not respond to EMPTY WORDS but the HEART, ENERGY, VIRTUE & PASSION of the pray-er. The effort & time they put into it also counts.
(This changes when a Soul becomes Holy or enters ‘nonduality’. Then everything is different. To be explained elsewhere.)
But these people say ‘I don’t have TIME to pray.’
While they walk to work they could be praying (rosaries, mantras, Our Mother who art in Heaven, supplications, anything). They stand in line at the DMV, the Post Office, the bank, the airport, busy stores—time for prayer. They could be holding a small book in their hands waiting for the order in the restaurant or under the dryer at the hair dresser. (Right now I’m reading for the fourth time, ‘Imitation of Christ’ by Thomas A Kempis.)
They could be praying (not when driving) in the car or reading while waiting for kids to come out of school, choir or sports. They could pray when the phone puts them on hold for minutes at a time – they could pray when there’s a storm, lights go out, no phone, no TV, no internet – time for prayer.
They could pray during insomnia, instead of counting sheep, say ‘I’m not attached to anyone or anything’ hundreds of times – IT WORKS.
Prayer trains, directs the mind to where you want it to go. Without it your mind wanders from thing to thing, person to person – it can be Hell. Don’t allow people & things to grab hold of your mind & take it into shallow places, meaningless roads, dungeons, cellars, monstrosities of worry. Knock all the negatives out of your mind with positive prayers & mantras, control your mind.
Instead, what do people do at the places they linger?
These days, anyone that has an ‘I-phone’ stares at it endlessly. I don’t know what they’re looking at, as I don’t have one, I don’t want one, I have enough of the computer at home. I suspect they’re looking at social media – that can be addictive. (Been there, done that, addicted to face book hours a day. Collecting pictures mostly!--which I’m using now effectively for my website!)
Other than that they (including me in my bad times) look at the signs & pics on the walls & the people around thinking dumb or meaningless things or shit like:
I wish I was home watching TV or movies – I’m bored – This situation is wasting my time. (Then don’t waste it, use it for prayer.)
People are bored when they have no interior life – no intellectual life – their brains are dead from lack of use. How can you be bored when God inside you is INFINITE & you have access to Infinity if you try?
You’re bored because you’re like an insect – flitting from blossom to blossom collecting nectar or stimulation from outside things.
Your life is filled with BAD HABITS of focusing outside instead of inside on people, things & events, & gossip thereof, instead of looking inside through prayer & meditation – that being done, the inner senses & unconscious mind will reveal to you the workings of your soul – it’s progress, how you’re growing, the scorecard of your salvation—your EVOLUTION.
Prayer is WORK, prayer is discipline – prayer is galvanizing ENERGY. (But the results are worth way more than you put in it, every time!)
When you pray constantly it prevents evil & ‘bad luck’ - it brings blessings & good fortune. (Truly when you pray for protection it prevents accidents, injuries & illness for you & loved ones.) Miracles of success happen with prayer warriors. Prayer is WORK, but not awful work, Jesus said something like ‘My yoke is sweet, my burden light.’ Don’t be afraid of it.
THE MAGIC PRAYER POWER OF SMITH WIGGLESWORTH
Smith Wigglesworth of England brought twenty four people back from the dead!
(I learned this from Rev. Roberts Liardon, a terrific minister/teacher in CA. –his course on ‘God’s Generals.’)
He would go to a dying person’s house & after dismissing the tear-jerking family (Oral Roberts also did that – tears don’t help, they hinder—faith & confidence do the job) – he knelt & prayed all night – fervently. If they died he picked them up & threw them against the wall shouting,
“LIVE! – LIVE!”
And they returned.
Interesting story about him – I LOVE it.
When he went to his faith-healing crusades there would be a conference room where the elders of the church & ministers would gather before service.
It so happened that none of these men – none – could bear the HOLY ENERGY emanating from him & they would all leave the room until he was alone.
He was coming to this one church – his reputation preceded him – a proud, cocky minister said,
“I will NOT walk out of that room!”
Time came – he kept his promise. Everyone walked out of that room but him. He did not. He fell to his knees & CRAWLED out!
YOU & THE WORLD
I want to explain two things about prayer – One – what prayers do to you and two, what prayers do to the world.
For you, prayers & all that is connected to it – changes you from living in the temporal time zone, here & now mentality – all that is temporary – into the eternal, above the world above strife & worry, above people/ things consciousness.
When you pray enough you’re lifted into another zone where you can see the picture objectively, a reality that is TRUE.
When you do not pray, do not meditate – your mind remains in the ‘shallows & wastes of human sense,’ (my words after the Divine Stigmata experience) - where you’re ‘in your skin’ seeing only through subjective experience, you cannot see ‘the forest for the trees.’
In this state, you’re more or less helpless – You can’t see from that darkness of limited thoughts & feelings, you’re encased in a cocoon of ego, (sense of time, space), the larvae who cannot fly.
The larvae sheds its cocoon, its outer casing, then the wings are released – it flies - & also it’s beautiful.
If you do not ascend through habitual prayer you’ll never leave the cocoon & you’ll forever live within LIMITATION.
What prayer does FOR THE WORLD is magical. Those who pray can change the world sitting right there in their room – prayer is energy, it is POWER, it changes things! Prayer warriors are warriors, they are not NOODLES, they change the world, they are the SALT OF THE EARTH.
Activists are wonderful, those who do nothing but pray hard are just as wonderful, it all depends how much they pray, how fervently. They can be even greater than those who fight battles in the world.
Example – saints like Padre Pio – he did almost nothing but pray, he will NEVER be forgotten, he wrought miracles right there from his little town in Italy, San Giovanni Rotunda. It’s not a little town any more, long after his death; it’s a Mecca of healing, health & Holiness.
WHY YOU NEED THIS MESSAGE
I know some of you will be bored & irritated as I preach this message for many reasons. One, religion has never helped women in a wholesale way (how could it when it’s all Patriarchal?)
Religion, for many women is a thorn in their side, including Christianity, especially this religion that caused their holocaust. Patriarchy abuses women through religion; they’ve given it a bad name.
But we’re not preaching Patriarchal religion – Jesus didn’t do it – don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. (Jesus was on our side, he was a revolutionary when he walked with women—which was not allowed in Orthodox Judaism—he walked in public with his Holy Mother, Mary Magdalene & JoAnna Chusa. He dined with ‘sinners.’ He was a Matriarch preaching it’s principles of love, kindness & gentleness. He described himself as a Mother Hen who wanted to keep her chicks under her wings. He was totally pro-women, loved everyone & of course, was tortured & crucified by Patriarchs. How could we be against him?)
As I said elsewhere – remove the Patriarchal agenda from the religion you’re in & keep practicing if you wish. Remove the:
• Hate of women
• Violence, murder, holy wars, terrorism, suicide bombings
• Hate & discrimination against homosexuals
• Illogical repression of women’s sexuality & making sex between consenting adults a sin. (In women’s religion sex is sacred, the womb is Holy, sex is a way of Love & worship of God & veneration of women & even men. The yoni (vagina) & lingam (penis) are both sacred.)
• Denigration of nature & animals, abusing them, disregarding their Sacred nature. (In women’s religions animals & nature are reverenced. All of God’s Creation is revered, respected & venerated.)
Take all the evil out of it & you have a template for good – Prayer, fasting positive rituals, spells, Sacraments, meditation, holidays honoring nature & saints, etc.
Questions to be answered:
• Why do we need prayer to make this religion successful?
• Why do we need prayer to save ourselves, other souls & the planet?
• Why do we need prayer to save us from men & their Patriarchy?
