Who is telling you that the place of women is only in the home still in this day in the 21st century?
While you might think women have made so many advancements today, why is it that so many people, especially women, still have a hard time hiring and voting for women in their political systems, workplaces, and being included in the top rungs of corporation hierarchies?
There has also been a resurrection of men who also beat this dysfunctional drum erroneously based on religious belief. It’s as if the days of Ozzie and Harriett of the 1950s is the perfect model that brings peace to the planet.
This is false information. Basing your faith on a false concept sinks all kinds of ships of belief, including today’s religious, political, and social structures.
Let’s start with the bible in Genesis. There seems to be a big push today in bible-based education, as if the only thing you need to know is contained in the bible.
If you believe this, then you will not know what else has been kept from you for unholy purposes, regardless of what gender you are or with which you identify. Please know there is much more for you to know, especially if it is not contained in the bible.
Whose fault was it that the erroneous concept of sin was placed on humankind? Adam is not blamed because he had no self-control when Eve suggested that a snake talked to her and told her that eating the apple would be OK.
That story is not about eating an illegal piece of fruit. It is the story of how human DNA got changed. It is about the missing link in our human DNA chain. But religious gurus still to this day take this to mean a literal temptation placed upon one woman, thereby bringing death to all humanity.
This might work for the infantile stories we tell our children, but it is not the truth any adult needs to know.
Still, this is the single, most repugnant reason why most women, still to this day, still place themselves under the thumb of any man, husband, boss, co-worker.
What is this aversion to having women in power, personal power, political power, economic power, medical power, technological power, any power?
It takes great attention to detail, and tremendous amounts of fortitude to forge ahead amidst both subtle and not so subtle pressure to stand up for the equal rights of women. Yes, this is no longer the 1950s mentality of today, yet the mental and emotional cords of female guilt and male emotional blackmail still linger in the hearts and minds of women.
Why do some women not support other women in politics or in the cutting edge of the 21st century, leadership, Entrepreneurship, and AI inventions in many cases?
Women have made great strides in regaining their personal and public power within humanity. But as far as women having achieved successes, it appears that while great attempts have been made at leveling the playing field with men and women, there is still a great divide between the genders.
Vast religious groups of women all over the world still feel that their place is still behind the man. I have heard them tell me that while they are “equal,” their “roles” are “different.”
And hordes of women all over the world still feel that their place is still behind the man in many political, religious, and social arenas in the world.
Let’s start with the bible in Genesis. But first, you must allow yourself to read all that was written in Genesis, not only what today’s sanitized version of Genesis says. Get the previous version that includes the story of Lilith.
The following comes from the Introduction to IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS, subtitled, UNIVERSAL WISDOM, currently in its second printing and is expected to be available for purchase again by August 31, 2025.
One infamous story of Lilith[1] can be found in The Alphabet of Ben Sira, a satirical and borderline heretical Jewish text from the Middle Ages. It says that Lilith refused to lie beneath Adam during sex, saying, “You lie beneath me! We are both equal, for both of us are made from the earth.”
This would be quick to dismiss, as many religious denominations do, except for the appearance in many mainstream bibles noting Lilith in various bible interpretations[2] of Isaiah 34:14 as follows:
New Revised Standard Version:
Wildcats shall meet with hyenas, goat-demons shall call to each other; there too Lilith shall repose and find a place to rest.
New American Bible:
Wildcats shall meet with desert beasts; satyrs shall call to one another; There shall the Lilith repose and find for herself a place to rest.
International Standard Version:
And desert creatures will meet with hyenas, and goat-demons will call out to each other. There also Liliths will settle and find for themselves a resting place.
Amplified Bible:
The creatures of the desert will encounter jackals and the hairy goat will call to its kind; Indeed, Lilith (night demon) will settle there and find herself a place of rest.
Other bibles simply refer to her as a screech owl, birds, or night creatures.
In The New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures, the Jehovah’s Witness (JW) bible refers to Lilith in Isaiah 34:14 as the nightjar, amid images of desert creatures, howling animals, and a wild goat. I have had former JW bible teachers dismiss the myths of Lilith, saying you will not find her in today’s bibles. I think they mean their own version of the bible. But further investigation regarding other bibles proves this is incorrect, as seen above.
This is a perfect example of how the bible got maligned to go along with what humanity wanted it to say or not say.
In The Alphabet of Ben Sira account, Lilith, speaks the ineffable name of God and flew away. God sends three angels named Senoy, Sansenoy, and Semangelof, who demanded that she return. Some say the names of the angels sent give the hissing sound of the snake, as they all start with the letter “S.”
Did Lilith or her Spirit return?
Other Creation stories include Lilith[3] and Naamah (some say Eve) as being created from the dust of the earth. There is another eerily similar Creation portrayal in the mythical ancient painting depicting the goddess Anath naked in the air, watching her lover Mot murder his twin brother Aliyan. Apparently biblical and rabbinic mythographers made a mistake, as humans are prone to do. They mistook Mot for God and Aliyan for Adam. This is not the first time that mistakes were made giving God credit for the murderous antics of the fallen ones, as you will see in this book. This is a repeating pattern. These are not the qualities of God, Father of Jesus Christ.
IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS discusses the two different Creation stories in Genesis, the first book of the bible, dealing with the Creation of human beings. Lilith’s Creation accounts for the first story of Creation in Genesis chapter 1:1-31. The story of Adam and Eve forecasting the subservient role of woman, accounts for the second story of Creation in the following chapter, Genesis 2:18-25.
Why on earth would there be two different Creation accounts?
With the Creation of Eve from Adams rib in Genesis 2:18-25, it is suggested that Eve is beneath Adam, a reason religious hierarchies use to diminish the role of women in their places of worship, politics, and in archaic social systems.
In my book, IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS, Eternal Universal Life Force Energy is God, the Divine Infinite Mind, The Ancient of Days, Father of the Christ Energy, otherwise known as the Christ Light. Passages from the Nag Hammadi Scriptures, Dead Sea Scrolls, and Books of Enoch have occasional words in brackets which are possible words in those missing segments due to fragile papyrus disintegrating through time. Scholars who are adept at transcription suggest possible words within the brackets. Numbered footnotes from sourced material are noted at the bottom of the page.
I believe this is at the root of the side effect we see today in all political, religious, and social structures in the world today which still try to keep a lid on the personal power of women.
I write more about how to get out of all kinds of religious, political, and social indoctrinations in my three-book series that won the 2024 INTERNATIONAL IMPACT BOOK AWARD, including IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS, subtitled, UNIVERSAL WISDOM; MY RED BAG OF COURAGE, subtitled, SURVIVAL WISDOM; and NATURE SPIRIT WISDOM, subtitled, LIGHT WITHIN THE ANGEL, MINERAL, PLANT, AND ANIMAL KINGDOMS.
