~There have been significant developments
since last September, the most obvious being the name of this volume changing. The original title, Her Prophet Explains, puts me front and center. But Liber Sorores; The Book of The Sisters moves The Sisterhood forward and allows me to start fading into the background.
The other change is that Part Seven; One Possible Future has been dropped altogether. It turned out to be just too complex to keep rewriting it over and over again. That decision also moves the completion of this volume forward, which is needed after nearly seven years. The Sisterhood is out there waiting for it.
The rest still stands; As I said last time, "the entrees at E Speaks are ‘finalized’, though I’m sure I’ll fiddle with them a bit more. [I have and will] The entrees at Blogspot are still being edited, rewritten, worked on, etc. except for The Trikona which I’m fairly happy with. The Addendums are complete as is. [The titles as listed here are the final titles]" For the most part - with one major exception and few minor ones - that is still the case." That is unchanged, though I am going to shift all the Blogspot entrees to LJ and DW.
EDIT 9/1/15: All entrees have now been shifted out of Blogspot to either
e_speaks or
nebris, though Addendum B is at Dreamwidth because that has a white background.

Part Three: “Building a New Matriarchy - Metaphysics”
http://e-speaks.livejournal.com/113359.html [unchanged since 2/13]
Part Four: “Building a New Matriarchy - Grand Strategy”
http://nebris.livejournal.com/7674507.html EDIT on 4/11/14: ~I was just reading through Part Four: “Building a New Matriarchy - Grand Strategy” and I realized that the thing actually works 'as is'...which brought up the dilemma of what to do about the required “critiquing and expounding upon the work of four of the most important Writers and Thinkers of Second Wave Feminism” etc. To stick all that into Part Four could actually distract and even derail the 'narrative thrust'. It IS some pretty heavy intellectual lifting, which is a big part of why I've been 'stuck'.
But it came to me rather quickly; stick all that epistemological blather in Part Seven - “Summation”. It does need to be related to provide greater depth to the overall context, but putting it at the 'tail [tale?] end' allows it to processed after said overall context has been more or less absorbed.
Part Five: “Building a New Matriarchy - Tactical Initiatives”
http://nebris.livejournal.com/7675799.html ~Part Five essentially requires more details about the various Tactical Initiatives and also some illustrations of Stage Three of The First Karaal, which I promise will be nifty. [unchanged since 2/13]
Part Six: “Building a New Matriarchy - The Trikona”
http://nebris.livejournal.com/7675594.html ~As I said above, I am pleased with this as it stands. [unchanged since 2/13]
Part Seven - “Summation”
http://nebris.dreamwidth.org/642931.html ~I took a big chunk of the Summation and edited it into Part Two. I now need to re-expand it with some new material and also blend in the old Addendum C [The Individual and The Hive].
http://nebris.livejournal.com/7610428.html and "Her Prophet Speaks: Transhumanist Matriarchy"
http://nebris.dreamwidth.org/659753.html and "Fascism vs Gynofascism"
http://nebris.dreamwidth.org/676146.html ...and then there is this:
~I had said back in Feb 2013, “At the moment, Part Four is where I am..well, not so much ‘stuck’ as deep ‘in process’. I said a while back: “I do cut myself some slack in that I’m doing a harsh critique of Victim Feminism, the damage done to the Feminist Movement by Andrea Dworkin and Catherine MacKinnan, how so-called Rape Culture is actually organic to Male thinking [Dworkin didn't go far enough in that regard] and a look at how Modern Feminism failed politically both with its support of Prohibition and its abandonment of basic Marxist thinking. At the root of nearly all of these issues is that Puritanism [always a tool of Patriarchy] is still deeply embedded in Modern American Feminist philosophy.” ”
Well, that was a fucking understatement. And, in the interim, I have also come to realize the need to weave in the work of Shulamith Firestone and Donna Haraway because both are essential to our Work. To leave their work unmentioned would create a massive blank space in the epistemology of The Temple.
Therefore, what I am facing here is critiquing and expounding upon the work of four of the most important Writers and Thinkers of Second Wave Feminism. To do what I need to do with their work requires some serious fucking Scholarship. *sigh* Effectively, at this point, I AM stuck..."
~Today [July 28, 2015]: I likely am still kind of 'stuck' in the above regard. A lot of 'serious fucking Scholarship' is still required, though no longer having to wedge it into Part Four will make my life far easier. The Summation has a much looser structure which will let me do 'plug in' without making too much of a mess.
