The following Facebook status and comment inspired this post. Thank you for the opportunity to look and remember....
  • Ian Dacek: Husbands, listen to your wives; we can't understand them if we don't hear what they say. "Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered." 1 Peter 3:7
  • Tamara Volk-Pace: Biblically we are supposed to allow ourselves to be the weaker vessels. We are to be submissive to our husbands as long as they are living a Godly life. It is hard to do because in today's society we are raised to be strong & independent. It takes a lot of work & prayer to remain a "weaker" vessel. But remember it is submissive to a Godly man. Stay in prayer & God will help you.
We're equally delicious!

Thank you for your attention to consider this with me.

Perhaps to be subservient or submissive does not equal to be weak and dependent. Independence (being the source of and being accountable for the love that we are) and strength give us the freedom to allow whatever is in Love and be whole or holy in it, because we are faithful and confident to know that we are One and that all is well and perfect.

We are at a point of consciousness where we identify ourselves with the bodies. Maybe we're off. Perhaps the forms of us, e.g. men, women, dogs, cats, etc. are reflections, manifestations and aspects of our higher ethereal being - our wonderful flavors of light. The contexts of strong and weak are primitive labels of the fleshly physical experience. Maybe we're all opinionated chocolaty chocolate chocolates.

Let's try this on. In the context of the scriptures, to be weak means to be "allowing" and ready to serve Christly for Christian pursuits – an undertaking that takes more strength and independence than any other endeavor. The women of us are the backbone and the pinnacles of our experience and reminders that we are love and loved. Without which, we are lost and nothing. So, thank you!

Lovingly Namaste,

Get a taste of the conversations you'll have with your metaphysical life coach. Join us in a discussion about the nature of life, including the purpose and tools we've put in place to live it fully to realize the spiciness and richness of it all. We acknowledge the metaphysical parts of us that have the most critical effect on the quality of our lives.

The Purpose of Life...

It is revealed. The secret is out about the purpose of life. There's no mystery in it except by the ego to conjure "mystery" to distract us from remembering who we are.

The most fundamental precept to our being and purpose is that we are One, organically, indeed --intentionally individuated (manifested "separately" into the physical, flesh) to be in a playing field to remember (re-member) who we are.

It's a game we elect. Love is all there is. All else is an illusion, resistence to Love/Source/God/Universal energy... 

As creators, we designed the resistence in it to provide contrast needed to distinguish/identify/experience the Love that we are. Without contrast, we can't know.

To experience the greatness of Light, we need darkness. To experience joy we must have sadness, resignation, anger, anxiety, etc... the opposite in order recognize and experience the joy that is Love. We need a comparison.... relativity.

It's how conflicts are cracks through which Love flows.

Lovingly Namaste
