In this video from the archives, Eileen Caddy discusses her experience balancing the feminine and masculine energies within herself and the benefits of all of us doing the same.
I am here, your sister in Christ, Eileen Caddy, Aunty Eileen. Before the creation of the community that I founded along with Peter and Dorothy, called Findhorn, there was guidance. I was chosen to receive instructions. All of which, from the point of view of the material mind seemed unfathomable and yet to those who listened to what I received and felt the hand of God and the guidance that came through the messages I received, they heard. To those came faith, came a trust nearly unshakable, and before our very eyes and the eyes of the world, blossomed a thriving, sustainable, spiritually founded community. They say great minds think alike, small minds differ. But in reality, most of the great minds of inventors will tell you that through all their struggles came a momentary flash, a lightbulb, an idea they had not considered. Some of them even acknowledging that this information must have come from spirit, and so indeed I can tell you it did. Most, if not all of the great inventions and co-creations that have changed the lives of those on earth in innumerable ways, came from guidance. Souls in the spirit world informing the so-called great minds. Myself, despite delving into metaphysics, mysticism, spiritualism, and all of the esoteric teachings of my day, I came from a very limited or parochial school of thought, and this informed much of what I received, however blessed it was. And as I have said before, if one reads between the lines of the prayers, of the guidances, you shall find the asking for divine love, the asking for the infilling, inflowing of God’s grace, and the asking to be in the will of the Creator. For though my mind may have had a limited perspective, when my soul was open, truth came through and, on this truth, on this foundation, was built a community. I tell you these things because you are a community, or may I say you are several communities consisting of many diverse schools of thought, cultures, belief systems, and yet here you are, in prayer to receive guidance from us, to receive the great love of God, to allow your souls to be informed, that your minds may receive and you may bring about a new world based on love and peace and sustainability and all the aspirations of every blessed soul not only upon the earth, but in the celestial heavens. When you allow this guidance, when you allow the love of God to inform your minds in your daily walk, you co-create with us and with God above a new world. I wish for you, not only a coming together in this way through this medium but that you come together and gather in person, with each other as often as possible. For, although you are a church without walls, without the limitations of so many other communities and groups, you are one in the love of God. With God, all things are possible. May your community be ever-blessed, ever-growing, ever-loving, everlasting. I am your sister and celestial friend and I thank you. May God bless you. I am Eileen Caddy. Go in peace.

Spiritually speaking (gender aside), feminine and masculine wisdom can also begin with an understanding of the cyclical nature of reality (God). Represented by the snake in many creation myths, the living cycle has a trinity of a beginning (head), a middle and end (tail). As above so below, the sexes were created in the image of God's cyclical nature where Mother is the head and opening to all beginnings and Father holds the tail to all endings (through which the sowing of seeds allow for the next great matriarchal rebirth).The joining of the two (symbolized by the Ouroborus or the marriage ring) is the sacred union needed in assuring the creation and continuation of new life cycles. To speak of the present day God as "Our Father" is simply an admission to our collective positioning within the bigger cycle. As all mothers have direct experience with the creator quality of birthing, so is the direct experience of rebirthing the divinity within (baptism) belong to that which is spiritually matriarchal. (John 3, verse 3-8). Sekhmet statues (ancient Egyptian) carry most of their weight in symbolic memory of what was a mother culture dedicated to the direct experience of baptism. As the leg shaped hairlocks extend from maternal breasts to the womb of rebirth, the lioness's head proportions are such that they highlight the bust of a second animal figure. The Lioness's ears as eyes and eyes as nose (nostrils) brings to life the figure of a reptile. 'Neath the halo headress of the solar egg, the lioness's egg fertilization process being internal (Set) and the reptile's egg fertilization process being external (Setting), such being key components to the safety of entering the trans-egoic or "born again" state. The life threatening fear associated with the predatory nature of a lion and/or crocodile encounter are reflective of the intense ego death experiences associated with the transpersonal awakening process. In spiritually matriarchal times, illumination could be seen as wearing the false beard (ancient Egyptian funerary "ego" death mask) as the high state of cyclical self knowing; high awareness of both our upper matriarchal half and our lower (later) patriarchal half (compared with a mini lower body replica, an "as above so below" tail end beard extension); in full recognition of her civilizational Underworld, her inevitable cyclical destiny. The male pharaoh wears his beard tapered in reverse, indicating a pointing upwards towards the patriarchal head, divine representative of God's tail end cycle. Mary's anointing and wiping of Jesus's feet with her hair can then be seen as head to tail (toe) imagery as she descends and marries her matriarchal head to his patriarchal feet, thus reenacting the high understanding of the divine cyclical process. To carry the Ankh was perhaps to symbolically carry that upper and lower understanding. As the upper matriarchal womb symbolised the fertile birthing of civilization, below, the now Christian cross is carried to place emphasis on the lower (later) "End Times" Father principle of the great cycle. Ganesha, the elephant headed Hindu diety, displays a cyclical head to trunk symbolism and points to the Mother head of his matriarchal elephant society. A whole temple was dedicated to the ancient Egyptian goddess Hathor, who is the matriarchal "Uterus" personified. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J0m0zJSEFK0.html "See all women as mothers, serve them as your mother. When you see the entire world as the mother, the ego falls away. See everything as Mother and you will know God." - Neem Karoli Baba
What, pray tell, is this "ego?" Why are all of these interpretations not just you foisting your ego-death/mystical philosophy onto myths of the past (never mind the cisgenderism and heterosexualism applied to divine beings that know no such constraints, nevertheless treating them as pawns and allegories)? And if I see anything as a mother, am I not simply reinforcing this "ego" (by my understanding of what it means, even its definition constantly changes)- seeing as you likely hold to some form of monism?
