Endurance
They conspired to expel Lilith from the Garden for she refused to lie beneath Adam--preferring instead to ride him from above, controlling their rhythm and her own pleasure. "I will never submit," she insisted. "not to him nor to you."
Then came Eve. Visiting Lilith's brother in the garden one day she took the fruit of knowledge of Life and Death, Light and Dark, Wisdom and Power into her own hands and ate it. Sharing it with Adam, they and their progency were expelled from the garden. And the false god said unto her, "Thou shalt suffer in your labor"
"What is the work of this god?" we pray.
But somewhere seeded deep within our cellular memory lies coiled the false-god's edict that we must suffer in the labor of re-membering the Knowledge which is our Birthright. Even as we reach toward freedom we engage our pain, martyr ourselves while bathing in Her Holy Light and Darkness; hide our naked fear of freedeom in coverings of shame.
This is the Old Way.
Stand we now on the cusp of a New Way.
We cannot be expelled from paradise. We took it with us when we left the garden. It's inside us.
SSsssssssssssssss. Lilith's brother whispers,
"What will it take for you to be happy? "
Lilith herself swoops in demanding to know,
"How much love can you endure?"
