Sunday School - Genesis: Origins of the Divine Female & the Servant
Genesis
In the beginning, there was nothing. Only the darkness, a vast and empty infinity.
Goddess, from her will alone, birthed the stars: the first of her children. They illuminated the darkness, and gave the gift of vision.
With her divine hands, Goddess pulled form from the flames of her creation. Seven metaphysical angels, manifested in Goddess’ perfect image, tempered by the breath of creation.
The Seven Angels:
Emma,meaning‘universal.’ The first child born of the stars and their magnificent flame. She illuminates the world, casting light over all Goddess’ creations. She who watches.
Isabella,meaning ‘Goddess’ oath.’ She who symbolizes the connection between Goddess and being. Isabella is the metaphysical testament to Goddess’ divine jurisdiction over all of creation. She who binds.
Eva,meaning‘life.’Goddess’ power of creation given form. Her ability to bring forth new being is derived from Goddess’ own. She who creates.
Tessa,meaning‘reaper.’Eva’s twin, born from the same star as the Angel of Creation. Tessa retires that which has no use anymore, making way for the new. She who destroys.
Sophia,meaning ‘wise.’ Goddess’ divine judgement, that which is infallible. Sophia, the arbiter of Goddess’ justice, whose rulings are absolute. She who judges.
Brianna,meaning ‘strong.’ The power of Goddess embodied in heavenly form. Her strength is unmatched, any mortal being would crumble under her might. She who enforces.
Aliyah,meaning ‘exalted.’Aliyah is the youngest of the angels, and the first woman. She is the physical embodiment of the divine form of Goddess, born to ascend the throne. She who rules.
Creation of Gaia
Goddess gave unto her daughters, the gift of will.
Withwill, the angels had divine agency. They acted with purpose and consciousness, the first sentient beings.
They understood their role, to uplift their youngest sister, Aliyah, to her proper station as mistress of all being.
Emma illuminated the vast infinity of the universe. All shadow was cast away, nothing escaped from her divine vision. All that has existed, exists, and will exist, was seen.
From this vision, Isabella bound all that was, is, and will be, to the will of Goddess. She created the bond between the physical creation, and the will of the divine and metaphysical feminine.
Emma and Isabella created the metaphysical substrate by which the physical is bound, and is given purpose by the divine.
From Eva’s being, everything that can be, became. All possible manifestations and permutations of the universe were created, all at once.
Tessa collapsed all these worlds into one, destroying the redundant and the unworthy. From her destruction,the universe as it’s known was created.
Eva and Tessa keep the universe in balance. That which must come to be, will, and that which must pass, shall be destroyed.
Sophia judged the worth of the universe. She identified the most worthy of physical creation, the paradise of Gaia.The planet was bountiful and full of beauty, Sophia deemed it to be the jewel of the universe.
Brianna’s power enforced the divine right of creation to impose will. All the beings of Gaia, and Gaia itself, understood and obeyed the word of Goddess. They all knelt before the divine.
Sophia and Brianna continue to judge and punish those who do not bend to the divine will of the feminine, imposing the sacred law.
Aliyah’s Reign
From the heavens above, Aliyah descended, manifesting a form that mortals could comprehend. In all her splendor and beauty, in all her wonder and power. The first physical being which possessed will,the divine right to rule. Aliyah drew upon the power of her sisters, commanding Eva to create her a slave and companion worthy of serving her divine being. And so, from the soil of Gaia, Eva created a form: Matthew, the first man, meaning ‘Gift from Goddess.’
Matthew knelt before Aliyah, and pledged “If you would allow me, I shall serve you from this day, to my last day. To tend to your every whim, to live and breathe so that I may fulfill your wishes.”
Aliyah responded, “You may.”
And so, Matthew prostrated himself fully, and kissed the ground before Aliyah’s feet. With that, Matthew sealed the first marriage.
Aliyah ordered Matthew to build her a throne worthy of her beauty. So for a thousand years, Matthew toiled away, finding the most spectacular materials to build the perfect throne. Aliyah spent her time enjoying the fruits of the land, reveling in the pleasures that the physical world had to offer her. This was the ea of bliss.
When the throne was finished, in all its glory, Aliyah ascended the ivory steps. She sat upon the velvet seat, and draped her arms over the golden armrests. Matthew carried upon his back, a sapphire footrest, encrusted with rubies and padded with plush silk. He climbed the massive ivory steps with the heft weighing on his back, laid it before his ruler on the final platform where her throne rested, and knelt.
Aliyah swung her feet atop the soft silk, looking down on her humbled servant. Her voice rang out as she sat atop the magnificent throne, it was directed towards the heavens.
‘I see that I am superior to all creation, such a trivial fact is obvious to all. Yet, this is not the extent of my sovereignty. I, the ruler, command the divine to kneel before me. My sisters shall bow and worship just as the mortals do, my mother shall prostrate herself before me, and beg to do my bidding.”
As Aliyah finished uttering the last of her blasphemous words, her sisters appeared before her. The first time they had manifested in the physical realm, yet they had not appeared to kneel.
Sophia laid her divine gaze upon her petulant sister, the fury of Goddess burned in her eyes. By the grace of Emma and Isabella, the divine will of Aliyah was tainted.Her claim to divine authority was muddied by her rejection of her origin, and the arrogance of her commands. For the first time, Aliyah felt pain. Brianna crushed her sister under the divine force of Goddess. Aliyah fell to the ground as her throne and servant vanished, destroyed by Tessa.
Goddess spoke, projecting her ethereal voice into Aliyah’s mind.
Child, you have forsaken me. You shall remain ruler of this world, but your divine status has been compromised. The foul seeds which you have sowed must be reaped.
Eva waved her hands, a new form arose from the ground. His form was weak, just as his mind was. The strength that Matthew possessed was evidently absent from this new creation.
“This is Zachary, meaning Goddess has remembered.” Eva’s voice rang out, then faded away along with her, as did the other angels.
Aliyah felt only the faintest connection with the divine, it was weak and imperfect, just as she was now. Aliyah gazed at the man before her, expectantly. He peered up at her, and to her surprise, stood.
Aliyah was filled with rageat the insult, and called upon the judgement of Sophia, and the strength of Brianna, but her calls went unanswered.
Aliyah knew that she would have to employ the angel’s force herself, using what little remnants of divine power still flowed through her being. She beat Zachary into submission, until his eyes were wet and his skin was bloody. He bowed and kissed the ground at her feet, yet the satisfaction she felt from the submission was nothing compared to that of Matthew’s.
Lesson of the Sermon, and looking ahead
Woman must respect Goddess, and give praise to her name, for woman was made in Goddess’ image. Aliyah’s blasphemy earned her the scorn of Goddess, and woman has suffered from imperfection ever since.
Man, whose purpose is to serve woman, must aim to do so with the enduring perseverance and genuine reverence of Matthew. A good man, one who follows the teachings of Goddess, must understand that he was born of the dirt, and woman was born of the divine. No matter how imperfect that connection may be, that connection is still there. The binding contract of Emma and Isabella must be honored. Matthew was taken from Aliyah as punishment, but if Matthew was still alive, he would still have to serve Aliyah. Aliyah may have an imperfect connection to the divine, but Matthew, just as all men, have no connection to the divine.
And so, although women are imperfect and must seek to deepen their relation with Goddess, all men must still serve the whims of woman. Woman is still connected to Goddess, however weak it may be, and so the connection commands respect, as Isabella’s binding dictates.
Next Sunday, we shall discuss the archetype of Matthew and the archetype of Zachary, delving into what the masculine represents. We will also discuss the archetypal male characters, and the contention of Aliyah’s throne. The topic will discuss masculinity’s role in female supremacy, and the will of Goddess.
