Abraxas --
SO Many Questions ..... SO Little Time! i guess it's cause every
new answer begets another question thanks for continuing to be our
wailing wall, AA .... you're a
trooper!!
Ok here goes ..... think i'll start with the
hardest (for me) first.
1) Re: the human concept of
God, Creative Source, All-That-Is, etc. and
our relationship with/to Him-Her/It -- it seems to me that since Jesus apparently related to the Source as
Abba which supposedly translates as
Da-Da, isn't the
intimately personal relationship that this implies the
most perfect template for a human relationship with its source? is this not
mirrored in the Christian mystical traditions (and I imagine in many others) of the
mystical marriage, e.g., Jesus-as-Bridgroom, as our Mother, etc.
2) Was the
real Eve archetype (as redeemed by Lillith)
"fulfilled" in Mary, Jesus' mother? just as the
real Adam archetype (as redeemed by the new Eve) was
fulfilled in Jesus? And if so, is it correct to assume that the "entity formerly known as Mary" may be called our
Dragon Mother .... just as the entity known as Jesus is our
Dragon Master (i realize that that Yeshuah was the perfected He-She and so also can be seen as our Master/Mother .... so then does it follow that Mary is our Mother/Master??)
3) Are you familiar with Julian of Norwich, one of my favorite mystics?
"And All Will Be Well .... And All Manner of Things Shall Be Well."
4) What is the scriptural source from which you quote when you cite things Jesus says that are
not specifically included in the "orthodox" canon?
thanks once again, AA, for all your time and patience with us!
