Divine Feminine, Sacred Masculine and Sophia Wisdom
While I truly enjoy reading, writing, contemplating and entertaining variety of perspectives, degrees for the sake of degrees mean little to me. This is why I sought teaching certification and licensure after obtaining my Master of Teaching degree. It is also why I partnered my MDiv with parish ministry and mission development rather than pursuing a Doctor of Ministry degree.
The pandemic provides time and space to look deep within. Ubiquity University offers platforms and courses to companion participant’s individual journeys – actually inviting art into every paper and experience. Degrees at Ubiquity culminate with questions of application. How will we apply what we learned to our lives and in service to the world? Service has always been a calling in my life.
However, as I matured and traveled along this life’s path, I learned to see the distinctions between domestication and living in service. The second-class status of women throughout the world exemplifies domestication and its necessity to maintain the status quo. A week does not pass without some atrocity performed against women. Decapitations as honorable killings, rapes, domestic abuse and sex trafficking highlight the violent treatment of women. Less pay for the same work, lower status in families or other relationships and objectification in advertisement and media are the more subtle methods employed to sustain girls growing up thinking less of themselves.
The highest offense is the attempted erasure of the divine feminine as history “progressed”. Sophia Wisdom now offers he hand alongside Mother Nature to help sustain humanity. We need to receive and pull the threads of the divine feminine found in Ancient Wisdom traditions forward. Quantum physics and an awareness of our energetic connectedness require growth of consciousness as we cross the threshold into a post-pandemic world. Such realizations cause me to commit to a PhD in Wisdom Studies at Ubiquity University. In this global community I am exploring and discovering how I may remain in service as the divine feminine and sacred masculine converge in these changing times.
