Water, The Sacred Feminine and the Da Vinci Code
How do they all go together?
Long before there were any global stirrings about " The Da Vinci Code ," the mega-bestselling book by Dan Brown, there was a very large, but mostly unspectacular resurgence toward restoring the energy known as the Sacred Feminine backward through history. How does one go backward to restore history? Scientists, scholars, mystics and shamans have been doing this for millennia. It seems the best way to heal modern misperception is to restore history by illuminating possibilities, asking key questions about what may have been overlooked, misunderstood or purposely left out of ancient records and why. Using the best of technological and academic achievements, modern-day scholars and energetic authors have been reconstructing a story that has the ability to rattle the old cages of religious thought throughout the world. "The Da Vinci Code" is one of the important keys that has lead millions of women to ponder the possibility that their gender may actually be considered sacred and given a name and a place of honor among powerful men in history; but it has also sent shivers up the spines of theologians who have faithfully protected and passed along a written history that may be inaccurate in order to maintain a world order based upon the power and divinity of men only. In asking the important spiritual questions brought forth by feminist religious scholars, and by Dan Brown himself, new light is being shined on one of the most influential stories of all time. Did Jesus Christ have a wife or life partner? Did he father a daughter or son? Was his wife of equal spiritual importance? Did she know the secrets of creation, too? Is biblical Mary the spiritual equal of Jesus? It makes perfect sense to me. Why would God's creation feature a hierarchy pinnacled by only one gender? In the name of balance, there must be two. Why have we failed to ask the important questions about this construct?
The fact that the Sacred Feminine energy, roughly half the energy of the universe, has been misunderstood for thousands of years gave modern feminist scholars a starting point in the reconstruction of myths, biblical accounts and social traditions which have been passed down through generations. Writers such as Riane Eisler and Margaret Starbird have researched and been writing about the Sacred Feminine for decades. However, it wasn't until Dan Brown's novel, "The Da Vinci Code," blazed a public trail, a mainstream path of awareness that feminine consciousness began to shift in significant ways. His bestselling book opened the gateway of new possibilities for feminine divinity, something that has been missing since the days of Goddess worship.
Is Dan Brown a heretic or a hero? However he or his work may be perceived, his story has influenced a radical shift in feminine consciousness. Before the movie was released, women passed the book to their sisters and whispered esoteric possibilities. With the movie on the big screen, women are talking louder. This is how reconstruction works. First the uprising, brought about by a few who question the order, then the movement grows and finally, realigned ideas are put into place. Finally order is restored. This process has been happening from the micro scale of the universe to the human scale and beyond.
How does water play a part in restoring the Sacred Feminine? Water, with it's miraculous abilities to bestow life, nourish and support life -- like the feminine nature -- has been forgotten, abused, misunderstood, overlooked in its importance for thousands of years. It has been feared for its infinite power, and men have tried to harness the power of water controlling it and containing it with man-conjured technology. But finally, a bold spiritual author and water researcher, Masaru Emoto, began to ask important questions about water. What we are seeing today is a fresh look at water and its myriad and infinite properties. Finally, water, like the Sacred Feminine is being given a deeper look.
Scientists, scholars and spiritual seekers are beginning to illuminate myriad possibilities about water that have been largely ignored by humans who thought they knew all there was to know about water. According to Emoto, water, also like the Sacred Feminine, has a vast and pervasive consciousness. The feminine gender gives life with her body and then continues to support life by giving of her energy. So does water. It is no mistake that both the spiritual significance of water and the spiritual significance of the Sacred Feminine are being given global attention at the same time. The Da Vinci Code is but a tip of the iceberg in works of importance that will bring about the healing and restoration of the Sacred Feminine. Masaru Emoto's landmark work is but a tip of the iceberg in discovering the infinite properties of water as a matrix for life. "Matrix" means "mother." The oceans and rivers are often called names also used for mothers. "Mother" is sacred. It is no coincidence that a fetus swims in a pool of the Mother's water until it is sufficiently nourished and ready to emerge into a masculine environment. Dan Brown and Masaru Emoto perhaps don't recognize their parallel journeys, but each are meteors of light that are rising fast, and will converge at the same point -- the restoration of the Sacred Feminine, whether it be water or woman, but more likely one in the same.
