Thanks for highlighting me here, Sue. Poet Laureate seems a bit hyperbolic, but I appreciate your support and encouragement!
My response:
What or who shall you be in my campaign to get you seen?
And with me being your champion, it would be good to get your subscribers tuned into Now What? so we all can push you out.
The best thing for you to do is to recommend me to your subscribers. From your Dashboard → click Recommendations → click Add recommendation→ search for Suzanne Taylor’s Now What?
Actually if you are a Substack writer, it would be great for you to cross-post this post, which would go to your subscribers in email. From your email click the up-arrow, then the 3 dots. From a web browser click the 3 dots.
Just a note here. Jesus had women teachers. HIs followers included many women; one of the reasons he was considered too radical and put down by the pharisees et al. Contrary to popular or evangelical belief, Jeshua Ben Joseph ( Jesus) and many ascended masters, have not stopped sharing wisdom to a humanity they love. Channels or conduits for this wisdom are many: ACIM, Way of Mastery, Choose Only Love, Love without Conditions, etc,etc. Like the saints and prophets, truth cannot be stopped. As he says The Bible holds many truths and many falsehoods. I was one of those who loved Jesus as a child but found church to be not only boring but based on a patriarchy of old men who left out some of the most spiritually true gospels of truth and Reality. Elaine Pagels books wrote about this; there are some extant gospels closer to the truth- the gospel of Thomas for example. Gospel of Mary Magdalena. He taught that there is of no separation as God's essence is omnipresent, God is the intelligence and ground of all being. There is only the ONE source. The feminine is equal to the masculine as it is in the near east where he came from, all souls are forever beings and the equality of all being and all creation. That there is one substance of God that fills all that is. Omnisicient and omnipresent. Pure love and pure awareness our awareness (beingness) is God's. It was TRULY about the good news! When I was in college Pagels was important. In Way of Mastery which came out in 1991 it is revealed that Jesus called God ABBA, which means Mother/Father God. He never came to form a church but to raise the consciousness of humanity. Jesus was put on a pedestal as THE ONLY son of God. Son in aramaic means offspring. He came to say we are all Christs (those who know no separation and are able, like saints and prophets, to merge within with the light of God. The Nicean council ,s after 525 years, allowed an emperor Justinian to cancel the reality of reincarnation; it undermined his authority. Yet, 2/3 of the world still knows that we are eternal and return to earth or elsewhere. Yes, this cosmos has many earths. And sovereign souls. In India it is the divine feminine eho embraces all creation; of one substance with the father God (Many names, one light). When a soul returns to the love (energy of all creation) you cannot keep from seeing love everywhere. And seeing that all are the chlldren of the ONE. Isn't it time to wake up? Namaste and Amen
Did you listen to Anne? This all goes well with what she says. Hopefully Trump and his gang will get us so riled up that it cracks our hard shells so that the light can come in!
Yes! I am with her 100%. Perhaps we are all being asked to link hearts around the globe and realize there is no separation. That the ONE Source, God has no gender yet includes attributes of both genders. We are all Buddha, all Christ, we are offspring and heirs to cosmic consciousness. This is the time of at-one-ment. the unity which has always been yet was squashed. We are raised and are raising! Blessings to all - E.
Everything is sacred. Just look at the night sky. So it's not a father God over us, but God is everything, including us. We are divine beings, not creatures being punished for primordial sin.
This wouldn't be the place to deal with your question. We have other fish to fry, and that would relate to Christian ideology in that the whole idea of God outside ourselves and over us, whatever the particular theology, is a misguided idea.
Emperor Justinian I of the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire is a key figure regarding the topic. Justinian I played a role in the condemnation of teachings related to the pre-existence of souls at the Second Council of Constantinople in 553 CE. This was a crucial step in excluding such ideas from mainstream Christian doctrine. This is historical. Let me know if you find something else. E.

I was a donor for Charles early on, but he got weird when he hooked up with RFK Jr. It's like the body snatchers got him, or the mind snatchers, where he's become persona non grata to people who used to appreciate him. I'd be happy, though, if that subtle level is teaming with activity!!!!

I have a whole track of posts dealing with Brian Swimme, who gives us the science on which our oneness is based! https://suzannetaylor.substack.com/s/brian-thomas-swimme
What is your academic source for this? Justinian had no part in constructing Christian theology.

Yes, I should have included that! (And it's June 11!) Bad on me. If you have a Substack account, you can Restack it with that info, which I will do.
Yes! Wed. June 11 (not 10th)

Thank you for sharing Anne Baring with us, Suzanne! She's so divinely wise herself.
Here's what I wrote with a restack of this post:

Thanks - it worked. Great interview!
Seems to jibe a lot with Charles Eisenstein's latest post. Maybe we are organizing on the subtle level!
I was a donor for Charles early on, but he got weird when he hooked up with RFK Jr. It's like the body snatchers got him, or the mind snatchers, where he's become persona non grata to people who used to appreciate him. I'd be happy, though, if that subtle level is teaming with activity!!!!
How about putting a taste of it here, so we get a little sample of your prose?
I wonder about all the capital letters you start using midway through this?
Nothing intentional. In the original, the lines were separated. Don't know if that affects the translation. 🥴
It has that odd kind of woo woo spelling and punctuation. I gather the original isn't English, but however that came to pass it doesn't serve you.
Ty for your feedback. I will remove the post and try to do better.
