MOTHER EARTH, FATHER PATRIARCHY: EMBRACING A MYTHOLOGY OF RESPECT, EQUALITY, AND HARMONY

Deep within human consciousness and throughout mythology, we observe the earth symbolizing the feminine energy of the cosmos. In much of the world, human beings have inherited a mythology that promotes men’s authority and dominance over the earth and over women. This core belief has left a legacy in which women are subjugated and our planet is being destroyed. As we enter the 21st century, we are at a critical time where we must consider a new respect for the feminine. Our planet will not survive if the belief in power and domination continues. We must embrace a mythology that pro-motes and encourages a new awareness of unity, equality, and harmony.
