The Need for a "New Eve"

[Dimmesdale]

True theism must in some sense pave the way to the exaltation of the feminine. Not all theisms admit that God is also united to the Goddess. Or, that God has, at the very least, feminine qualities alongside masculine ones. Catholicism and Orthodox Christianity have the stainless Mother Mary, which is something that those worshippers can avail themselves of.

If God is the Perfect Male, to which humanity can turn to, does it not make sense that humanity wants recourse also to the Perfect Female? This is natural. We want to turn to persons unconditionally, to whom we can entrust ourselves to, and whom we can trust.... There is no arrogance or 'sexism' here. That the "great unwashed waves of females" are all impure and they can be cast aside. I am not advocating some fanatical creed where the one Goddess supplants all other females, anymore than the Almighty God supplants all Males who deserve their own fair share of dignity and peace. What I am painting is simply a Person who is also a Place of Refuge, and Identity, for all those, male and female, who feel distraught at a world awash in sin and hate. If one can turn to the Mother, and know, without a shadow of a doubt, that this Mother is the Perfect, the All-Loveful, the All-Surrendered from all eternity.... That is a great un-demoralizer on all fronts, both inner and social..... To lay one's head at that Fount of Glory is at the same time the greatest refuge and greatest source of service for all. For it expands the Vastness and Purity of Love to touch one and all.....
