"The Goddess is a Verb, the Isness of the Goddess Goddessing,"

MatriFocus Web Magazine:

" The Goddess must be bigger than my imagination. Divinity must be bigger than I dare touch, beyond the first naming, beyond the first speaking that created matter from nothingness, beyond me. You see, the comfort of Mother and Father has very little to do with the Goddess Goddessing. Like the Tao, it cannot be spoken; as soon as I give the Goddess a gender I am in the trap of two, shackled to the mountain of either/or. The Goddess breaks through the law of physics that says, 'Two things cannot exist in the same place at the same time,' because the Goddess is in everything, beyond everything, between everything."

Notice the reference to patriarchal "Tao" and the false statement about physics. Quantum physics shows us that two things can co-exist in the same place at the same time, and a thing may exist in more than one state at one time, or exists in every state at any given time. This is a Goddess worshipper stuck in the artificial patriarchal binary.

Goddess, I am sick of this point of view, especially from Pagans. You do not have to have male to have female. Female comes first. Female can reproduce alone. Male is derived from the Female, and therefore included in it.

The "50-50" proportion doesn't occur in Nature. There is always more female than male, and maleness is newer because it is derived from femaleness. That's simple biology.

Duality is dangerous. It's where we get the conflict in our cultures - "Opposite" sexes, Good vs. Evil, them and us. That conflict benefits the power structure.

The totality of the Universe, or Perfection, the Dragon, Goddess, is expressed in the number 0. Existence is that which deviates from 0. When the Goddess became aware of Herself, she became 1. She ripened as 1, and then She birthed the Universe, She became 2, Mother and Child. Mother and child eventually become 3 (Mother/Consort/child), then air, earth water fire and spirit (5) differentiate from the Source, and so on:

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987 .....

Perfection is Goddess
Source is Goddess, and becomes
Mother Goddess
Mother Goddess and divine child
Mother/Consort/Child= family
5 elements
8 Sabbats
13 Moon cycles
21 = 3x7, 37 x 21 = 777 or three 7s

Our culture is focused on the 2. We need to focus on the 1, and the 0. Eventually, we'll all be 0 again. Right now, we are intimately connected as 1.

"from me all things proceed and to me they must return"

The passage I quoted above sees the female gender as a limitation. What do we have to do to get Goddess Wimmin, of all people, to stop thinking in terms of duality? The author is trying to express 0, but she can't see it as female. Why not?

I take this subject seriously because it's essential to understand that the Universe is a conscious, living female entity. If you grok that, everything else falls into place.
