Creation story of Adam & Eve

It is a pity and a truth, but many of the mores in society around the behavior and appropriateness of women are based upon the lack of discipline and training of the spirit of men. Men uninitiated into the mysteries leaves little room for the creative expression of women in many societies. Deep penetration into the laws of Sharia, the tenets of the Abrahamic religions tell the story clearly.

One need alter one's perception to see the faint trail of small animals in the forest. It is the same in this arena. This area of study is a hunt, and the laws of the Hunter require, and give permission to the Hunter, and the Huntress a way of probing into the shadows for the prey easily named, but fierce of countenance, and battle skilled. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 8.27.13

"Well, at some point in the quest for power, personal power the dynamic of the opposite sex diminishes in importance. This is part of the process of becoming, and coming into the realms of power, and discovering what lies within you, and what power is. Basic to the misconceptions of power is the lack of relationship with one's own death. The teaching about the relationship with one's Death lies in women's traditional relationship with blood. It is true with men, but men's understanding and basic grasp of this life way is steeped in the mysticism of the Womb. 

In the beginning women's relationships with Life was taught in ceremonies led by the elder Wise Women to the child/woman during initiation(s) about their menstrual blood, and their blood from giving birth. Men's relationship to the life force of blood is through the hunt and war. Because Western women are out of sync with their wombs, disassociated from the Earth, our Mother, and not in the practice of nurturing their wombs many things are out of alignment including the men of their lives. From here, from this fault lie the seeds to start on the path to reconnecting with the primal forces of Nature that ushers in the balances that restore Life in the body, and creates a right relationship with Death that restores the power of living in the present in the presence of Creation upon the Earth, our Mother."

Your comment, "If you don't require a lot for yourself how can you require a lot from a man?" brings to mind something I learned about people in general: what people actually believe is stronger than whatever religion they espouse! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories august 27, 2013
