Lines of Flight 7
The Divine Feminine
Pure Creativity
Along the lines of 1960s thought, we can reference ideas like peace, love and understanding, provided we think of them in terms of a life lived in pure immanence.
One possibility is to think of creativity itself as participation in the divine feminine, a recollection of the feminine power to create and nurture, and a release from the masculine power of domination. Empowerment as creativity and not external force over others.
The divine feminine is the energy of growth, creativity, healing, nurturing, joy, compassion and wisdom.
It is the power to grow, to heal, to accept and to love. It is pure life-giving energy, resonant energy, the archetype of the harmony of all things as they create new things. It is mothering, compassion, emotional bonding, empathy, and caring.
The divine feminine is intuition: affection, sensuality, beauty, attention, appreciation, protection, support, connection, inspiration and expanded awareness.
It is regeneration, healing and transformation. It is the energy and force and desire to follow your bliss. It is a release and opening up to passionate expression. Abundance, giving, unlimited potential washing away all resistance, negativity and reactionary force.
The divine feminine is pure desire. It is love as pure creativity.
Pure Love
To exercise divine feminine empowerment is to act with love.
To act with love is to embrace creativity, diversity, the particular as it participates in the one return of creativity itself.
We end with a few lines from the ancient sage of love, Rumi:
Don’t be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.
Forget safety.
Live where you fear to live.
Destroy your reputation.
Be notorious.There is a candle in your heart, ready to be kindled.
There is a void in your soul, ready to be filled.
You feel it, don’t you?Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames
Reason is powerless in the expression of Love.
You were born with potential.
You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness.
You were born with wings.
You are not meant for crawling, so don’t.
You have wings.
Learn to use them and fly.When you lose all sense of self
the bonds of a thousand chains will vanish.
Lose yourself completely,
Return to the root of the root
of your own soul.Keep walking, though there’s no place to get to.
Don’t try to see through the distances.
That’s not for human beings. Move within,
But don’t move the way fear makes you move.Brother, stand the pain.
Escape the poison of your impulses.
The sky will bow to your beauty, if you do.
Learn to light the candle. Rise with the sun.
Turn away from the cave of your sleeping.
That way a thorn expands to a rose.
