I came across this little clip today and it got me reflecting on how many don't fully understand the Lilith and Mary archetypes. I feel it's because we have lost our old ways & teachings of the sacred feminine alchemy in the great 'fall' of civilizations collapsing.
This is totally true from the human mind perspective that needs to put things into categories and neatly label everything. In order for us to understand or make sense of the unseen realms of the mystical and spiritual. Also the idea/ teachings / spiritual practices of the dark feminine has been the center of many dark occult practices and obsessive worship ( Hence the death cults practices using the sacred mother as their main effigy in rituals )
The spiritual " concepts" are not logical or rational really as they are found in the realms of feminine right brain creativity and intuition.
There is no separating the 'Lilith" from the "Mary" in the universal mind as the all, is part of, the one .
In the clip I posted is great example of how the two are separated in order for us to understand the basics of duality of the feminine nature .
Which makes sense in order to break it down into bite size chunks to digest .
Yet the Divine mother feminine represents a combination of both energies of one being .
Lilith has a Mary side and Mary has Lilith side to her feminine nature. Pretty much , "Push any good woman too far and see how that goes for you" ;)
The severely neglected and abused Feminine will naturally fall into her Lilith dark nature .
That is a full dose yin energy without any yang to balance/ground her. Definitely some scarry stuff right there, that's for sure .
Just as we have a shadow ( feminine/ masculine energies) and a light side to us all in the human form .
We have parts of us when damaged and unhealed we react from our raw instinctual animalistic or lower nature .
This part of our nature is no different than if we observe the animal kingdom.
They are here as our teachers as well. How do you know they aren't more evolved than we are ...? It's perspective.
If you were to approach an injured wolf, lion or bear. How do you think those animals will respond?
There is no difference when we are spiritually/ emotionally/physically injured. We will go into our wild instinctive primal nature of self preservation.
That will be acted out by either the dark side of the yin (moon) ( Lilith /feminine) in forms of going deeply inwards or retreating inside the cave for protection.
Or the other natural response would be to express it through our yang sun ( Anti Christ/masculine) primal response. Which is to attack any perceived threats to our safety and survival.
So to separate as a "good" or" bad", is to strip away the sacredness of each aspect . They are polarities that can be used to heal or to harm, create or destroy.
How those energies are used and the intention behind that, that's up to the individual. Free will is the only thing that separates us from the animal kingdom.
There are times where it is absolutely necessary to use these darker energies. If someone is attacking your livelihood, family, physical, mental or spiritual body in the mundane world .
To just stay in a passive state, well it's survival of the fittest in the primal world I suppose.
If we choose to see this from a higher way of thinking then we have to understand the duality of nature. Each playing a sacred role and having a function.
That can be used for destruction or creation .
I've touched on this before in my blog. About the word worship . In its truest and purest form it means love, honour and respect. We have lost the original meaning behind it, that is another word that has been inverted and tainted.
You could say I worship life , death and the natural world. That doesn't mean I'm above it, below it or obsessive over it .
It means I have reverence and respect for other physical and spiritual forces beyond myself .
We all have an "angel" side or a "demon" side to our dual nature as well.
This is why "good" people can be pushed over the edge and to do "bad" things. We have a dual nature and are here to learn and develop.
There is no judgment from the Divine as some are here to learn and experience the darker (shadow /unhealed )sides of our divine nature and others are here to explore the lighter (healed/ light) sides.
Or somewhere in between once you have mastered both in many incarnations.
Only to be reborn and start all over again;) ...
Eternal Return ⭕
So enjoy the ride...it never ends it's just a different experience each time . 🤗 🙏💖
Edited .. found this video another very interesting take on the Lilith story
