lilith

(Journal:6/23/2007)

I was watching the History Channel today, a program called Banned from the Bible (part II) I recommend that anyone interested in this type of content, should seek out this program, and watch it! Crazy stuff! Anyway, one piece of the program stuck in my head like a fly in a spider web. I don't really know why, except that i am interested in any history of the woman.

The story was about Adam having a mate before Eve. Lilith is mentioned in the Bible, however she has no clear back ground. It is described that when this happens, the reasoning is simply that the authors didn't know or only had bits and pieces of the story when the bible was translated. But they didn't want to leave anyone or thing actually known out of the writings in case of future discoveries.

After the time of Christ, a scroll was found that had been written by Isaiah. The writing is a bout Adam's first mate, made from the ground, at the same time, equal to Adam. Lilith's spirit was strong and non-submissive. One day Adam says to Lilith, "Woman, lay under me!" (...to consummate) Lilith refused. There for Adam cast Lilith out of the Garden Of Eden.(...typical) She was to roam the dead lands. She was cursed to bare no children. She was made out to be a demon, and a temptress.(...all out of fear of sexuality)

Well then came Eve, who was created after Adam, from Adam. (who ate the apple?...wasn't she punished!?!) It is in a male's nature to be dominant. To consider competition first, right from the beginning! I don't necessarily like the way Eve is depicted either. (submissive, weak, kinda dumb) Scholars now a day, remind us that the Bible was translated by men, in a man's world.(who were obviously insecure about power.) There for there is no question where such negative influence came from.

Its is in a woman's nature to rebel and seek equality from the beginning of supposed history. (...and yes, even to ride on top!) and that is what has progressed out of history. Women prevailing equality, and their own nature. Not men becoming more dominant.

As a woman, i look back as i often do, to when i was young(6or7) The first time i heard about women's rights i was utterly confused. I just got done kickin this little boys ass (same age and size, who was trying to dominate me) and you are telling me there is a question of equality? I thought it was obscene.

And also as a woman it is my nature to share in all ways. Not to compete. Just seems more logical(which is a "man's" word) and peaceful. To share responsibilities and pleasures. I believe that strong men have better and more productive things on their minds, and furthermore enjoy a woman on top!!

Jesus cherished his mother. Why is it that more often than not a woman is called evil, witch, or demon, for being herself, and fallowing her nature? Children of Lilith or Children of Eve, she knows she can, and she will with the right man. I want to raise my son in this mentality and teach him to respect it. To appreciate it.
