September/October 1999 Living Now
Men are God
by Ellie Bramel
In a previous issue of Community Connexion Tom Sullivan postulated
"Men are bad, Women are Good."
It's o.k. that people have confined themselves to a rigidly structured
role. Their opening awareness will bring them transitional opportunities.
I have spent a few hours here and there looking at female and male roles.
The issue of male and female roles is not black and white.
For many years now the radical feminists have been in the foreground
with their position in societies. One of the issues is how men subjugated
women and made them subordinate and how men only validated the rolls
of the submissive female. I have accessed memories of my own past's
lives where women killed other women to stay alive. In the past lives
of the many people that I have accessed, the ego based part of our thinking
ran through both males and females. It was destructive to all humans,
not just destructive to females. So go one step deeper into the unconscious
levels of the mind of the past. Much more is there than what is is on
a surface.
In this lifetime I have been felt sorry for (and considered weak)
by women of the feminist movement. They complain about the rules, then
they make more rules. The main reasons they are still in a place of
powerlessness is because of their need to blame and play victim. We
live in a culture that is always blaming something or someone. The truth
is you cannot blame or be a victim and at the same time own personal
power. They are opposites. When the feminist's movement was well underway,
men started blaming women back. I remember a man who said he could not
get a job because women took all the men's jobs. He must have tired
of complaining and decided he wanted money because he is now working.
All the time people spend complaining whining, wishing, blaming
and playing victim could be used to find what works for them in terms
of owning personal power. Personal power is owning that one is the creative
force in one's own reality.
Personal power is not judging what is believed to be wrong. It
is not hating deep from within. It is not being better because what
was done was superior to anyone. And it is not being the most spiritual.
What people know logically and believe on the surface of themselves
is more often than not different than programming below the surface
of their awareness (the subconscious).
Under the surface of our conscious mind we carry programming that
is often out of present time for us. In other words we have programming
that worked 10, 20, 100, or even 1000 years ago, but doesn't work today.
Beliefs are not just opinions we share with another to compare how our
lives are different or similar. Beliefs (unconscious and conscious)
determine our physical realities. Beliefs are behind all of our thoughts
too.
Why do people argue about life or lifestyle? What is true for you
is not always true for me. All that is really needed to change a life
is to change a belief. Not just on the surface in the analytical senses
but deeper in the spaces of our subconscious. It is not up to me to
change you or you to change me. I change my beliefs when I want to change.
And you change your beliefs when you want to change.
I consider myself a feminist by my own terms. By the definition
of a radical feminist I would be labeled as not doing female correct.
Tee-hee, I have a female body. How could I possibly not be doing female
correctly? The feminists when rewriting the rules on how to be female
overlooked the programming that they resist and deny and cover with
a facade like anyone else. Take into consideration that women bought
into the belief that men were more powerful. Feminists are sexist, even
against their own sex. Their sexism is often on a less than conscious
level.
I have had a few lifetimes where I was a sexist male that helped
to set up this system. Spirit doesn't die. We shed our bodies and move
on. We have all been males; we have all been females. We have all been
a part of setting up this system of roles. I'm sure that if any of them
were to read this, without
a doubt there would be a few that would make my own personal observation
and what is true for me wrong. We live in a society that in order for
someone to be right, someone has to be wrong.
Now we have rules on how to be a god or a goddess; it is all part
of the learning process of humans. We practice not being something we
are against and judge what we are against as if judgment was power.
We still have the programming we fight against on a less-than-aware
level of consciousness, or why would any subject be an issue? By the
way, not to burst any bubbles, all humans are on their path. Subject
to change at will. It is ego-based religion that lies and says you are
not on your path unless you follow a prescribed method.
Believing you are not on your path is more self-judgement. You
have stated that you may have tackled a subject far too complex to try
and deal with. You are analyzing, generalizing and judging. Analyzing,
generalizing and judging keeps things complex. Those three things will
run you in circles. Every time you try to deal with an issue, your outcome
will be one of which you will reanalyze, regeneralize and rejudge. We
can analyze our way around any belief that no longer works for us in
present time. But to really make changes humans need to do more than
go around a belief that no longer works in present time. The beliefs
need to be consciously accessed and released.
Conscious release is a direct approach to making changes that are
desired. We can remove ourselves from being the big victim and move
into a space of owning our personal power.
