Our Mother
When we consider that human existence began around 2.5 million years ago in the region surrounding Egypt, and that Egyptian pyramids are spiritual centers for an ancient stellar-religion, it stands to reason that Egyptian mythology is our purest link to any basic religion of humanity that wouldâve been imprinted onto our genetic memory at least over the past 70,000 years, at the dawn of The Cognitive Revolution.
What is probably the oldest âfairy taleâ is found at the core of Egyptian mythology in the story of the god Osiris and the goddess Isis, and in this story it is the female (Isis) who rescues the male (Osiris), not the male rescuing the female, as we are accustomed. The contemporary fairy tale ends with a wedding, but in the original fairy tale the wedding has already taken place. Isisâs husband, Osiris, is murdered, placed in a casket, and cast onto a river. Isis embarks on a relentless quest to find her husband. Even though he is dead, her true love for him runs so deep. In the âhappily ever after,â she finds a way to join with him, after all, in a remarkable and symbolic way that Iâll come back to later in the book.
The Greeks borrowed Egyptian mythology, and their stories are perhaps more familiar to you. Theseus only defeated The Minotaur because of Princess Ariadneâs true love for him, risking her own life to discover how to escape the labyrinth so she could relay the secret to Theseus. (The Minotaur, as most mythological monsters, is a metaphor for ego. âAriadneâ was also the name of the âmaze builderâ in the recent film Inception, where she helped âCobbâ through the dream maze to confront his personal demons.) These are stories where males and females work together as a team, as equal partners, not a helpless female hiding behind a male for rescue, contrary to the more recent Grimm Brothersâ evolution of the tales. The true and original fairy tale is about males and females in equal balance so that they may access the higher dimension reserved for human animalsâa higher love through our higher selves, to become one.
Today, there is no such ideal. True love is the doorway to masculinity devoid of misogyny, but this is a balance that modern males often struggle with, depriving both them and their partner of The Higher Love. Many contemporary males snigger about âsissy love talk,â but the same âtough guysâ who would do so have also literally cried on my shoulder for lack of love or fear of losing love. Modern society conditions males to provide and protect, to not show emotion, but the fact is that princes need rescuing from dragons as much as princessesâmore so when you appreciate that the âdragonâ is a metaphor for ego.
We now live in a patriarchal world where most women are placed on a spectrum that spans from unconscious discrimination to slavery, where they are seen as weak or inferior to men in some way. Most
