  • Meghan is thrilled to be joined by Mandy Green, scholar of Divine Femininity, in this special episode! The doctrine of Heavenly Mother is largely a mystery - but perhaps it doesn't have to be that way. Topics Include:
    Heavenly Mother in the scriptures and ancient temple symbols
    Partnership of the Elohim - Heavenly Father and Mother
    Seeing Her through a Celestial, rather than a Telestial, lens
    Priesthood order of men and women
    Mandy Green graduated from Brigham Young University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Humanities, and her love of that field has woven beautiful threads into all aspects of her life.
    Mandy became fluent in Russian during her two year ecclesiastical mission to Moscow where she realized the power of understanding other languages. Since that time, she studied at Hebrew University in Jerusalem and has learned Biblical Hebrew and Koine Greek, which has allowed her to study scriptural texts in their originally written languages.
    ​Mandy’s post-graduate studies have included a wide range of topics: Biblical Hebrew, New Testament Greek, the writings of Hugh Nibley, Egyptian religion, Hermeticism, Grail lore, and the Divine Feminine, with particular focus on Mary Magdalene.
    ​Mandy is passionate about sharing her knowledge and has done so in many ways. She taught adult religion classes at BYU, has led tour groups in Israel, Jordan, Egypt, England, Scotland, and France, and is currently teaching at Project Illumination and writing and producing the podcast Reflecting Light.
    Mandy loves to interact with students and fellow travelers and wants to help them experience all of the light and beauty there is to be found. Aside from her knowledge, she does this through her naturally friendly nature and humor. Her love of truth, light, knowledge, goddesses and flamingos (don’t forget the flamingos) makes for an unparalleled instruction experience.

    Enjoyed this podcast. I’ve just begun to understand how little we understand this topic. I wanted to comment all the way through this conversation. I’ll just say when I say my prayers I knell before the throne where my mother and father sit together. The fullness of the priesthood is where a man and woman seal their priesthood’s together. One is not complete without the other. Thanks again for this topic. I wish our sons and daughters understood these basic principles

    In D & C 101:45-47 the parable of the redemption of Zion.... the Lord told the watchmen to build the tower ( Magdala). Joseph Smith organized the Relief Society. About 3 weeks after his murder Brigham Young shut down the Relief Society for over 20 years. The reorganization of the Relief Society was then placed under the Patriarchal priesthood but that is not where Joseph Smith placed it.

      I think of this parable a lot. As you learn more about Mother there are so many amazing nuggets in scripture.

    Spiritually speaking (gender aside), Heavenly Mother (matriarchal) wisdom can also begin with a fundamental understanding of the cyclical nature of reality (God).
    Represented by the snake in many creation myths, the living cycle has a trinity of a beginning (head), a middle and end (tail). As above so below, the sexes were created in the image of God's cyclical nature where Mother is the head and opening to all beginnings and Father holds the tail to all endings (through which the sowing of seeds allow for the next great matriarchal rebirth).The joining of the two (symbolized by the Ouroborus or the marriage ring) is the sacred union needed in assuring the creation and continuation of new life cycles. To speak of the present day God as "Our Father" is simply an admission to our collective positioning within the bigger cycle.
    As all mothers have direct experience with the creator quality of birthing, so is the direct experience of rebirthing the divinity within (baptism) belong to that which is spiritually matriarchal. (John 3, verse 3-8).
    Sekhmet statues (ancient Egyptian) carry most of their weight in symbolic memory of what was a mother culture dedicated to the direct experience of baptism. As the leg shaped hairlocks extend from maternal breasts to the womb of rebirth, the lioness's head proportions are such that they highlight the bust of a second animal figure. The Lioness's ears as eyes and eyes as nose (nostrils) brings to life the figure of a reptile. 'Neath the halo headress of the solar egg, the lioness's egg fertilization process being internal (Set) and the reptile's egg fertilization process being external (Setting), such being key components to the safety of entering the trans-egoic or "born again" state. The life threatening fear associated with the predatory nature of a lion and/or crocodile encounter are reflective of the intense ego death experiences associated with the transpersonal awakening process.
    In spiritually matriarchal times, illumination could be seen as wearing the false beard (ancient Egyptian funerary "ego" death mask) as the high state of cyclical self knowing; high awareness of both our upper matriarchal half and our lower (later) patriarchal half (compared with a mini lower body replica, an "as above so below" tail end beard extension); in full recognition of her civilizational Underworld, her inevitable cyclical destiny. The male pharaoh wears his beard tapered in reverse, indicating a pointing upwards towards the patriarchal head, divine representative of God's tail end cycle.
    Mary Magdalene's anointing and wiping of Jesus's feet with her hair can then be seen as head to tail (toe) imagery as she descends her matriarchal head to his patriarchal feet, thus reenacting the high understanding of the divine cyclical process. (John 12:3)
    To carry the Ankh was perhaps to symbolically carry that upper and lower understanding. As the upper matriarchal womb symbolised the fertile birthing of civilization, below, the now Christian cross is carried to place emphasis on the lower (later) "End Times" Father principle of the great cycle.
    Lord Ganesha, the elephant headed Hindu diety, displays a cyclical head to trunk symbolism and points to the Mother head of his matriarchal elephant society. Ganesha (like elephants) wears God's cyclical nature on his face.
    A whole temple was dedicated to the ancient Egyptian goddess Hathor, who is the matriarchal "Uterus" personified. th-cam.com/video/J0m0zJSEFK0/w-d-xo.html
    "See all women as mothers, serve them as your mother. When you see the entire world as the mother, the ego falls away. See everything as Mother and you will know God." - Neem Karoli Baba

    I thought Ashera was Baal’s wife?

    • @lddisciplespodcast
      @lddisciplespodcast  ปีที่แล้ว

      My understanding is that Ashera is the wife of El, the two of them together being Elohim (which is a Hebrew plural).
