Akka -How does one best address a goddess?

[Guest guest]

Akka -

 

Perhaps what I meant - though it wasn't clear to me at the time - is

that a goddess shows up in my dreams and visions from time to time.

The first times I "handled" it but now I realize that I didn't address

her with reverence, veneration or awe that I should have. I'm also

understanding that as a man I need to address all women and feminine

creatures with greater respect. There is a bigger view coming

about that it is not clear yet involving all of the feminine, i.e.,

the world beyond my skin and eyes.

 

It's a bit new to me living and growing up in an environment where

women there did not have a lot of respect for themselves or with the

men in their lives. Seemed that I grew up with a lot of sad or angry

women. There is a lot discussion about equity between the sexes but

what I find is power issues and who has it in the relationship. If

I'm understanding it correctly, it is through the woman that a man

might find enlightenment. To be in relationship, then the man has to

be a respector of persons in a careful caring way.

 

I am addressing women as ma'am here now just for practice and

realizing that such addressing of women is to change my perceptions,

too. But the goddess shows up in dreams and glimpses here and there,

and one needs to address her respectfully. One needs to address the

feminine just as respectfully as if a meditation.

 

I'm probably rambling here. Thanks.
