By degrading woman, man degrades himself

The universal disorganization which we see today, the threatening degeneration of many countries, is the result of this continuing imbalance through the subservience and oppression of woman. By degrading woman, man degrades himself; and without the revival of true chivalry and gentleness the spirit cannot rise.

It is also said: "As the Teacher creates through his disciples, even so woman creates through the masculine principle. Therefore woman uplifts man." Hence, woman must raise herself to such a degree, spiritually, morally and intellectually, that it will enable her to carry man with her. Remember the painting by N. K., "She who Leads." Thus woman must occupy the place destined for her. She must become not only an equal cooperator in the management of the whole life, but also an inspirer. The greatest task is to spiritualize and to restore the health of humanity by filling it with aspiration toward great deeds and beauty. But woman must first of all change herself! Therefore, the call to woman must be primarily the call to self-perfection, for the realization of her dignity and her great destiny and to lay the foundation of Be-ness and for the awakening of the impulse toward creativeness and beauty.

It is said: "The Equilibrium of the world cannot be established without true understanding of the First Causes.... Therefore, let us be affirmed in consciousness upon the power of Equilibrium, as the stimulus of Existence, of the First Causes, and of Beauty. Hence it is so indispensable to affirm in the spirit the Feminine Principle." LHR I

So trueeeeeeeeeeeeeee !!

It`s women that raise men, so if men
behave as we see it today, who can we blame ? women in their ignorance of their true Divinity, bar a few cultures of the yesteryears, have created monsters, as we see it today,
women need to lead in silence, reclaim our divinity by seeking SELF realization, which contains the secret, then the new man will be born,as Christ showed by example,otherwise we`ll be doom for destruction through its many forms. So beautiful and simple when the veil of ignorance has been lifted, then no one need to teach others, we`ll vibrate at the same level like a clock well tune !! LOVE is the only oil women need,
not love you, only LOVE as instead of talking man, woman, which is duality, we`ll all be an ocean of LOVE, a drop from that ocean will not differ in intensity. The calculated mind need to be replaced by a new paradigm which is what we have always been and will be after this short exit from our true home which is LOVE.
