Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: The divine feminine in a Christian society
From: s3raph...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife] FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com What you say about the Langudedoc is suggestive. I'm aware of the attempts to link the Cathars with the rise of the troubadours and involvement of Eleanor and her daughter with the development of the courtly love tradition. But the fact that the graft didn't *take* suggests that Christianity is at heart a patriarchal set-up. Trying to feminise it ends up emasculating it and it loses its power. It's as silly as trying to masculinise a cult of Isis - you'd just end up with a butch and unappealing goddess. (Yes, I'm aware of Durga and Kali and of Minerva and other female goddesses that kick butt but it's the nurturing-mother goddess archetype we need.) Ahem. Don't you mean that *I* need? How is pigeonholing the image of women as nurturing mother-goddess archetypes instead of kick-asses any less chauvinistic than what Christianity does? The most kick-ass woman I know has multiple high-degree black belts in the martial arts, and is the loving, nurturing mother of two. No conflict whatsoever. I would suggest that considering her (or any woman's -- live or mythical) kick-ass side as butch and unappealing sounds more like your problem than hers. Just sayin'... ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, punditster@... wrote : On 6/27/2014 9:01 PM, s3raphita@... [FairfieldLife] wrote: Why try to make Christianity more feminine? It is surely a lost cause - even women priests don't have the nerve to call themselves priestesses which is an honourable name and calling. Isn't it more promising to *supplement* the Christian faith with a goddess cult with its own rituals? Astarte on Fridays and Christ on Sundays makes one a whole human being. There is the Languedocian legend of the 'Queen of the South', (Reine du Midi), the title of the countess of Toulosue, the protectrix, identified with the Syrian goddess Anath who in turn is closely linked with Isis and the bird-footed Lilith. Yet another legend is the Meridiana to whom was conveyed the secrets of alchemy to Gerbert d'Auriliac. The name Meridiana is derieved from 'Mary-Diana' thus linking the Magdalene legends in the South of France. Lagudedoc was also home to the Knights Templers in Europe. It's interesting that Bernard of Clairvaux, the founder of the Templers Rule, was devoted to the Magdalene and to the Black Madonna. Bernard commended the knights to the 'obedience of Bethany', the castle of Mary and Martha. Bernard is also noted as the founder of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Notre Dame (Our Lady), i.e., Magdalene. The Templers oath was to 'God and Our Lady', not to the Virgin, but to the Magdalene. The Templers were preoccupied with the idea of the feminine mystery! Olivia Robertson (who died last November) was high priestess of the Fellowship of Isis, a spiritual organisation devoted to promoting awareness of the feminine aspect of the divine.

The ensuing Finnish concentration of artillery fire was the heaviest in the country's military history.[27] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Tali-Ihantala#cite_note-Jatkosota-27 It was based on the famed fire correction method of Finnish Artillery General Vilho Petter Nenonen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vilho_Petter_Nenonen, which enabled easy fire correction and quick changes of targets.[5] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Tali-Ihantala#cite_note-Koskimaa-5 At the critical Ihantala sector of the battle, the Finnish defenders managed to concentrate their fire to the extent of smashing the advancing Soviet spearhead.[27] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Tali-Ihantala#cite_note-Jatkosota-27 The clever fire control system enabled as many as 21 batteries, totaling some 250 guns, to fire at the same target simultaneously in the battle; the fire controller did not need to be aware of the location of individual batteries to guide their fire, which made quick fire concentration and target switching possible. This concentration was considered a world record at the time.Battle of Tali-Ihantala - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Tali-Ihantala#cite_note-Koskimaa-5 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Tali-Ihantala#cite_note-Koskimaa-5 Battle of Tali-Ihantala - Wikipedia, the free encycl... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Tali-Ihantala#cite_note-Koskimaa-5 The Battle of Tali-Ihantala (June 25 to July 9, 1944) was part of the Finnish-Soviet Continuation War (1941–1944), which occurred during World War II.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Strange Bedfellows in the Middle East
Heard something watching the France24 channel last night - the statement being that ISIS, wanting to establish a true Islamic state, is not interested in taking all of Iraq, content instead to consolidate their current gains. Makes sense - the country was designed by the Brits to always be tearing itself apart, anyway, and ISIS doesn't want the burden of holding all the tribes together. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, jr_esq@... wrote : I agree somewhat with your assessment about the Syrian rebels. The USA should not aid them since they could be allied with ISIS in the long run. But Obama may be using a CIA assessment about the dynamics in Syria which we are not privy to. Independent of Obama's decision, it's definitely to Assad's advantage to get rid of ISIS now while they're busy attacking Iraq. He could and should attack the supply route in Syria for the ISIS militants in Iraq. Once ISIS is gone, IMO Assad could retain his power. Indirectly, the Iraq government would gain as well. But I don't believe Maliki is competent to run the Iraqi government. In fact, he is the most likely reason why the Sunnis and the Kurds don't want to cooperate with the present Iraqi government. However, I believe the Kurds will attack ISIS eventually from the north for their own preservation. If they let ISIS take over Iraq, the Kurds will eventually be a target for subjugation by an Islamist caliphate if the militants are in control. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, punditster@... wrote : On 6/27/2014 1:53 PM, jr_esq@... mailto:jr_esq@...

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: The divine feminine in a Christian society
Shortly after posting this, I ran across this link, which expresses my thoughts in a different (and very entertaining) way. It's not that I have anything against the image of nurturing mother-goddesses; it's just that I reserve the right to revere more kick-ass goddesses (and princesses) as well. Or a combination of the two, because the two traits are, after all, not mutually exclusive. Rejected Princesses Rejected Princesses Women too awesome, awful, or offbeat for the movies. Updated Wednesdays. View on www.rejectedprinc... Preview by Yahoo Re the Cathars, they *are* one of the only religions in Western history who treated women well. There were equal numbers of men and women Cathar priests (and they used the same word for both, even in the old Provençal language, where it was gender-free). The 13th century in the south of what is now France was a rare island of gender equality in Europe. Women could own property in their own names in that area at that time, a basic right that didn't happen in the rest of France until De Gaulle. As you suggest, there definitely *was* a Cathar influence on the Troubadours, but it might not have been as romantic as you might think, because the Cathars were a dour lot who didn't believe much in earthly love and pleasure. The Troubadours probably picked up more of their notions of earthly romantic love from North Africa and the Muslim culture than they did the Cathars. The latter, however, might account for the unrequited-love-at-a-distance meme in Troubadour poetry.

How is pigeonholing the image of women as nurturing mother-goddess archetypes instead of kick-asses any less chauvinistic than what Christianity does? The most kick-ass woman I know has multiple high-degree black belts in the martial arts, and is the loving, nurturing mother of two. No conflict whatsoever. I would suggest that considering her (or any woman's -- live or mythical) kick-ass side as butch and unappealing sounds more like your problem than hers.

As for Isis, I still prefer this vision of her: Bob Dylan - Isis (1976) Bob Dylan - Isis (1976) View on vimeo.com Preview by Yahoo From: TurquoiseBee turquoiseb@...

[FairfieldLife] FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com What you say about the Langudedoc is suggestive. I'm aware of the attempts to link the Cathars with the rise of the troubadours and involvement of Eleanor and her daughter with the development of the courtly love tradition. But the fact that the graft didn't *take* suggests that Christianity is at heart a patriarchal set-up. Trying to feminise it ends up emasculating it and it loses its power. It's as silly as trying to masculinise a cult of Isis - you'd just end up with a butch and unappealing goddess. (Yes, I'm aware of Durga and Kali and of Minerva and other female goddesses that kick butt but it's the nurturing-mother goddess archetype we need.) Ahem. Don't you mean that *I* need? How is pigeonholing the image of women as nurturing mother-goddess archetypes instead of kick-asses any less chauvinistic than what Christianity does? The most kick-ass woman I know has multiple high-degree black belts in the martial arts, and is the loving, nurturing mother of two. No conflict whatsoever. I would suggest that considering her (or any woman's -- live or mythical) kick-ass side as butch and unappealing sounds more like your problem than hers.

Isn't it more promising to *supplement* the Christian faith with a goddess cult with its own rituals? Astarte on Fridays and Christ on Sundays makes one a whole human being. There is the Languedocian legend of the 'Queen of the South', (Reine du Midi), the title of the countess of Toulosue, the protectrix, identified with the Syrian goddess Anath who in turn is closely linked with Isis and the bird-footed Lilith. Yet another legend is the Meridiana to whom was conveyed the secrets of alchemy to Gerbert d'Auriliac. The name Meridiana is derieved from 'Mary-Diana' thus linking the Magdalene legends in the South of France. Lagudedoc was also home to the Knights Templers in Europe. It's interesting that Bernard of Clairvaux, the founder of the Templers Rule, was devoted to the Magdalene and to the Black Madonna. Bernard commended the knights to the 'obedience of Bethany', the castle of Mary and Martha. Bernard is also noted as the founder of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Notre Dame (Our Lady), i.e., Magdalene.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Strange Bedfellows in the Middle East
Fleetwood, You've got to remember that ISIS is more radical than al-Qaeda. They're spreading chaos now in Lebanon as we speak. However, there are some people who believe that the Sunnis are just using ISIS as a marriage partner of convenience for the sake of taking control over Iraq as Saddam did in the past. Once the Sunnis are in control, they will throw out ISIS from power. The Kurds would be foolish to be satisfied with just controlling the oil fields in Kirkuk. ISIS is vulnerable now since they're busy attacking Baghdad. If they attack ISIS from the north, I believe ISIS will disintegrate and flee into the wilderness. Similarly, Assad would be wise to attack ISIS from the west for his own survival. So, IMO the militants have put themselves into a corner of destruction and defeat. The virulence of ISIS will eventually bring about its own death just as cancer cells are attacked by antibodies in the human physiology. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, fleetwood_macncheese@... wrote : Heard something watching the France24 channel last night - the statement being that ISIS, wanting to establish a true Islamic state, is not interested in taking all of Iraq, content instead to consolidate their current gains.

The USA should not aid them since they could be allied with ISIS in the long run. But Obama may be using a CIA assessment about the dynamics in Syria which we are not privy to. Independent of Obama's decision, it's definitely to Assad's advantage to get rid of ISIS now while they're busy attacking Iraq. He could and should attack the supply route in Syria for the ISIS militants in Iraq. Once ISIS is gone, IMO Assad could retain his power. Indirectly, the Iraq government would gain as well. But I don't believe Maliki is competent to run the Iraqi government. In fact, he is the most likely reason why the Sunnis and the Kurds don't want to cooperate with the present Iraqi government. However, I believe the Kurds will attack ISIS eventually from the north for their own preservation. If they let ISIS take over Iraq, the Kurds will eventually be a target for subjugation by an Islamist caliphate if the militants are in control. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, punditster@... wrote : On 6/27/2014 1:53 PM, jr_esq@... mailto:jr_esq@...

[FairfieldLife] Cyber Analysis [1 Attachment]
As soon as you access the internet data highway with your computer, security is out of the question. The most secure computer is a computer without any contact to the outside world - no network, no internet, no disks, no flash drives, no CD-DVD drives, and no direct contact to other computers by modem or network card. In addition a really secure computer will be password protected. The most common passwords are: password, sex and god, but not in that particular order. Richard J. Williams, System Analyst Richard J. Williams, Cyber Analyst, Marketable Skills Award, San Antonio College, 2014 Many people do not realize that a computer connected to the internet reveals details about their personal life: who they are, where they work, where they go, who they visit, and their surfing habits. Some people don't even realize that their computer media player tracks all tunes played and sends that information for analysis. It's all there, housed as digital information at a data center somewhere.

The Repugs have Jeb Bush, Paul Ryan, Chirs Christie, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Bobby Jindal, Nikki Haley, Rick Santorum, Rick Perry and Rand Paul. LoL! And whose going to vote for those clowns? People already feel burnt from the Republicans by Bush and burnt from the Democrats by Obama and they find the Tea Party a joke. America is so finished. You sound really depressed - some sort of /Dark Night of the Soul?/ I hope you get over it. Have you tried getting some exercise and/or eating a different diet? All politics are local - do you even know who your city councilman is out there in the East Bay? Idiot. My evaluation is by observing the social consciousness of the country and it's logical outcome. Have you even tried that? It's not about me being depressed because their is no me to be depressed. Try that on for size. I know the mayor of this town and the council people are jokes. I voted for two new members who actually knew city management but the great unwashed of this community just voted in the same ol' same ol'. We could really use a progressive council that is there for the citizens instead of their pocketbooks. The mayor is an insurance salesman and the council primarily real estate agents. You can about guess how that works. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, jr_esq@... wrote : Share, That's a great idea. We'll have to wait and see how Kerry negotiates his way for peace in Iraq.

There is a very subtle connection between Mercury and Jupiter in that both are placed in the nakshatra owned by Ketu. We'll have to see how he performs in his negotiations with the major players in the Middle East. If he can find a peaceful solution to the turmoil, IMO he's definitely destined to be a president. As you well know, Jupiter is now exalted in Cancer which is placed in the ninth house of his jyotish chart. So, he is in a great position to succeed. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, sharelong60@... wrote : John, here's Kerry's birth info: December 11, 1943 in Aurora, CO.

Williams included below] As soon as you access the internet data highway with your computer, security is out of the question. The most secure computer is a computer without any contact to the outside world - no network, no internet, no disks, no flash drives, no CD-DVD drives, and no direct contact to other computers by modem or network card. In addition a really secure computer will be password protected. The most common passwords are: password, sex and god, but not in that particular order. Richard J. Williams, System Analyst Richard J. Williams, Cyber Analyst, Marketable Skills Award, San Antonio College, 2014 Many people do not realize that a computer connected to the internet reveals details about their personal life: who they are, where they work, where they go, who they visit, and their surfing habits. Some people don't even realize that their computer media player tracks all tunes played and sends that information for analysis. It's all there, housed as digital information at a data center somewhere. This is another one of those books that needs to be on a mandatory reading list for all certifications in Computer Security: /*'Ghost in the Wires'*/ by Kevin Mitnick Back Bay Books, 2011 Amazon review: Kevin Mitnick was the most elusive computer break-in artist in history.He accessed computers and networks at all the world's biggest companies - and no matter how fast the authorities were, Mitnick was faster, sprinting through phone switches, computer systems, and cellular networks. As the FBI's net finally began to tighten, Mitnick went on the run, engaging in an increasingly sophisticated game of hide and seek that escalated through false identities, a host of cities, and plenty of close shaves, to an ultimate showdown with the Feds, who would stop at nothing to bring him down.

The Troubadours probably picked up more of their notions of earthly romantic love from North Africa and the Muslim culture than they did the Cathars. We do not really know very much about the Cathars since they were stamped out as heretics during the First Crusade. According to Wasserman, twelfth-century enemies of the Cathars believed their rites included ritually kissing the anus of a cat, in which form Lucifer was said to appear. Toward the end of the twelfth-century, the Cathars were also slandered by the term bougre, from Bulgaria, known to be the source of their heresy - the root of the British slang bugger and buggery.
