Why is it that when I look at a website full of women, my first reaction is to cringe and turn away?  Why do I have to remind myself that it isn't pornography? Perhaps it is from conditioning that something fishy is going on and this could be yet another exploitation of women of the third world countries. Viewed as sexual toys, second class citizens, and sometimes property, I had to suspend judgment as the screen reveals beautiful faces, one after the next.

My fear of female exploitation leads to an acceptance of women on a very grand scale. These are not only lovely faces but are the faces of the mothers of the children of the world, of the Aquarian Age. What we see here is the next generation of humans that will walk this earth.  I can almost feel what each photo says. The eyes are indeed the windows to the soul. I can feel their joy, their sense of duty, their sorrow, their confidence, their incredible strength, as well as their radiant spirit.  

As the faces skip by on the screen, I wonder how happy they are with themselves or do they wish to change something about them because it "just isn't good enough"? I wonder if they think these things or is it just in America that we are so insecure that we actually listen to what print ads, magazines, and TV tell us? 

During my four month visit to India, I noticed that life was so hard in so many ways. Sure the women worked hard every day, hours toiling in the fields and selling their wares in the streets just to be able to put something on the dinner table each night.  Then of course, there were women working in the big corporate offices, wearing fancy clothing, carrying the latest technology and having their drivers take them to the shopping malls. It didn't seem to matter what kind of life they lived, the point is, they lived each day by the grace of the Source. It is like many raindrops from the same cloud. We are all female expressions of the Divine Mother. I look at them and I see myself. If I could walk in their shoes, would I work hard like them? Most likely yes. In that survival mode, I too would do anything. Then when the life focus shifts from survival mentality to maintaining, the luxury of reflection is afforded and one becomes conscious. In that awakened state, I call conscious, one can decide how one chooses to live life. 

Would it create resistance and ramifications? Sure. 

Would it be comfortable? Absolutely not.  

Then why wish for change? Because you are women, you have the power. 

Yogi Bhajan taught me that I have the seed to become a very loving soul, a caretaker of this planet, a Guru Dev Mata, the transparent teacher. You are Guru Dev Mata. You are the one who brings life to the planet, the first teacher of all beings. So why would we as women have to bow down to men? Did we not give birth to them? 

It is time for the Divine Mother to reappear and reclaim her power.  I never thought of myself as a feminist but right now, I am a big supporter of being human. Are you not human and are these not your God given rights? To breathe freely? To fully explore the life you were born to live? To live life as a choice and not as a duty?

Perhaps my idealistic thoughts are too foreign; however, I think this is the time to shake things up. Start saying "no" and see what happens, I dare you. Your structure will start to crumble as what no longer serves you will simply disappear.  Stop buying into old self-limiting patterns that seem to hold you back.  Live life like you never before. As far as I can see, you really have nothing to lose.
