Two beautiful scholars in a great vid. Thank you.
Thanks for video keep going 🤠 greeting from Morocco
I think once he got over the shock, Aristotle would have loved to have known a woman who was truly his intellectual equal. He might have even fallen in love with her (in general, truly intelligent men like smart women). But the ladies in the video are correct that Aristotle had a lot of very unfortunate beliefs for later history and that his writings should never have been treated as scripture.
Thankyou for your work and programs. Question for you both. Do you know the details of Maesia sentinas? She has a. Case that she pleaded for her own defence? I have found the publicly available texts say, there is no record of the case content or why she is is defending herself. Do you think she might be defending her husbands claims against her? Regards. Pauline
Can I have dinner with Natalie and Bettany??
NO.
👏🏼👏🏼
I thought Hesta was godess of the hearth?
Spiritually speaking (gender aside), matriarchal wisdom can begin with a fundamental understanding of the cyclical nature of reality (God).
Represented by the snake in many creation myths, the living cycle has a trinity of a beginning (head), a middle and end (tail). As above so below, the sexes were created in the image of God's cyclical nature where Mother is the head and opening to all beginnings and Father holds the tail to all endings (through which the sowing of seeds allow for the next great matriarchal rebirth).The joining of the two (symbolized by the Ouroborus or the marriage ring) is the sacred union needed in assuring the creation and continuation of new life cycles. To speak of the present day God as "Our Father" is simply an admission to our collective positioning within the bigger cycle.
As all mothers have direct experience with the creator quality of birthing, so is the direct experience of rebirthing the divinity within (baptism) belong to that which is spiritually matriarchal. (John 3, verse 3-8).
Sekhmet statues (ancient Egyptian) carry most of their weight in symbolic memory of what was a mother culture dedicated to the direct experience of baptism. As the leg shaped hairlocks extend from maternal breasts to the womb of rebirth, the lioness's head proportions are such that they highlight the bust of a second animal figure. The Lioness's ears as eyes and eyes as nose (nostrils) brings to life the figure of a reptile. 'Neath the halo headress of the solar egg, the lioness's egg fertilization process being internal (Set) and the reptile's egg fertilization process being external (Setting), such being key components to the safety of entering the trans-egoic or "born again" state. The life threatening fear associated with the predatory nature of a lion and/or crocodile encounter are reflective of the intense ego death experience associated with the transpersonal awakening process.
In spiritually matriarchal times, illumination could be seen as wearing the false beard (ancient Egyptian funerary "ego" death mask) as the high state of cyclical self knowing; high awareness of both our upper matriarchal half and our lower (later) patriarchal half (compared with a mini lower body replica, an "as above so below" tail end beard extension); in full recognition of her civilizational Underworld, her inevitable cyclical destiny. The male pharaoh wears his beard tapered in reverse, indicating a pointing upwards towards the patriarchal head, divine representative of God's tail end cycle.
To carry the Ankh was perhaps to symbolically carry that upper and lower understanding. As the upper matriarchal womb symbolised the fertile birthing of civilization, below, the now Christian cross is carried to place emphasis on the lower (later) "End Times" Father principle of the great cycle.
Ganesha, the elephant headed Hindu diety, displays a cyclical head to trunk symbolism and points to the Mother head of his matriarchal elephant society.
A whole temple was dedicated to the ancient Egyptian goddess Hathor, who is the matriarchal "Uterus" personified. ruclips.net/video/J0m0zJSEFK0/видео.html
In the name of the Father, the Son and the holy ghosted... ? ... inevitability.
I'm guessing that Euripides had a good marriage.
I have the hots for Bettany. She seems like the ideal woman, you never know though, maybe she snores.
I wouldn't give her the opportunity to snore.
Spud - With all the weight she's put on, I bet she does snore.
what an embarrassment on Natalie Haynes for her not to know enheduanna as hisotrain
Come on she's a comedian not a historian
