Women’s Support. Becoming Our Own Role Models. As women embrace the fullness of who they are as individuals, they may find themselves supporting other women, helping others to reach the level of inner comfort and outer freedom that they themselves have found. Among those who are less sure of themselves and their place in the world, it may be more common to criticize other women than to seek their help. But there are things that a woman can only learn from another woman, as there are things about being a man that can only be learned from other men. We all recognize that we have much to learn from each other regardless of gender, but sometimes we could use a supportive role model that gives us a more precise example of what and who we can become. There was a time where women stood together in a bond of sisterhood, women supporting women. It is only natural that the pendulum swings out of balance for a while so that we may have the experience of what we do not want. It is up to women to bring the pendulum back into balance and bring back the sacred sisterhood we yearn for at our core. If we envision a world where women support each other and help each other find their place in an ever-changing world, then we can become the change we want to see. Jealousy, envy, criticism, and judgment are refuges for the insecure. As we help others to become self-assured, we create a world in which all people help each other, regardless of gender. Only women can make the change in how women are seen and understood, not just by other women but by the world at large. The way we speak about each other to other women and to the men in our lives informs everyone to treat us with the respect that all women, and all people, deserve. http://www.dailyom.com/articles/2007/8959.html

Glad I caught up with you! - May 22, 2008 - 09:13 PM

I see that you've joined the NonDual group. Should be a compelling journey. I check in Bnet daily, but post less mostly because it is summer and so much to do outside. Check the TT out. I feel you would be a great contribution.

Hi Windhorse! - May 22, 2008 - 01:01 PM

Thanks for the link. I just read your comments today and will spend some time checking out the site in the near future. Yes, I am very much enjoying the High Sierra. We're home now for a few days but I spend most all summer at a very large campground up there. It's wonderful! I do miss being online and sharing here on beliefnet though. Seems I just don't have as much time for it as I do when I'm here at home. It's all good, just different. I very much enjoy your insightful input and hope you will continue to share on the Mysticism site with us from time to time.

Reading your posts and the depth and heart of your delivery I wanted to invite you to check out the Transformationteam.net if you already haven't. I trust all is beautiful in the Sierras. Windhorse
