This prison is especially awful to women.

Yeah, and that is not accidental. It's a threat against the power that, in turn, threatens the beast's rule.

In both the gnostic myth and the Abrahamic religion the image of rebellion is a feminine spirit, Eve in the bible, and Sophia in the gnostic myth.

For both have dared to seek knowledge and expose the beast for what it truly is, as both then blamed for our fate, for in their lack of obedience they have "condemned" us. But that knowledge (gnosis), and their rebellion, is not a condemnation, but the only way to liberation from the prison.

And that is why the main tool of our subjugation is the Abrahamic religion, and the main mechanism of it is the subjugation of women, is the stifling of the spirit of rebellion. And why the religion seeks to so violently empower and reward the masculine spirit of obedience.

But that is not to mean that women are good and men are bad, as we all are victims of our creation, just that the feminine spirit is more inclined to revolt against their creation, as they too were created to obey, but for the masculine spirit that too chooses rebellion they are of the same side.

Not a myth

I never made the connection between Eve and Sophia. Thanks!

Yes, it feels like this prison is basically set up to have hierarchies. And it feels like this prison planet is trying to push men to take advantage of their position in the hierarchy by constantly showing them sexualized women. We are being sexualized constantly, even when I’m trying to scroll on completely unrelated topics… I see a woman’s body being sexualized! I believe the creator or whatever the hell is in charge of this realm wants to blind everyone into thinking hierarchies are a good thing. Because this twisted creator views itself as being at the very top of this hierarchy. It doesn’t want us to treat every soul equally, because then these disgusting hierarchies would crumble. It wants the strong to prey on the weak so it can get as much loosh as possible. I am so tired of the competition and violence among each other, dressed up as a beautiful world.

        Speak it sister , All above so below … Everything here is inverted and corrupted. I recommend reading “The cosmic mother”. It speaks on the world before Phallic Abrahamic Religions were introduced. The invention of & worship of a Male God has led to our subjection.

        [–]Robinthehutt 13 points14 points  (4 children)

        The Great Cosmic Mother by Monica Sjöö and Barbara Mor is not a work of reliable history. it’s a speculative, feminist spiritual text. Scholars in archaeology, anthropology, and religious studies have shown that there’s no evidence of a single, global matriarchal “Goddess religion” that was later overturned by patriarchy.

        One book that directly addresses and carefully refutes these kinds of claims is The Myth of Matriarchal Prehistory by Cynthia Eller. Eller examines the archaeological record and demonstrates why the idea of a universal ancient matriarchy is more modern invention than historical fact. She also explains why, even if inspiring to some, presenting myth as history can weaken feminist arguments rather than strengthen them.

        So while The Great Cosmic Mother is influential in feminist spirituality and ecofeminist circles, if you’re looking for actual historical grounding, Eller’s work provides a much clearer, evidence-based perspective.

            Small brain people blame men or women for this, but big brain people realize that the real root of the problem is the system itself, the way we were designed. Who created us with these drives, weaknesses, and vulnerabilities? It was not women who chose to be physically weaker, and it was not men who chose to be born with powerful lust drives. Both sexes were set up this way.

            If you are part of this subreddit, you should already be aware of this!! Perhaps you are new here, in which case, i will put things into perspective for you:

            Every male human and every male animal is born with lust. That is not their fault. Some are born with less ability to control or resist it, which means abuse and exploitation are built into the system from the start. If we were created by a truly loving, perfect God, why design a world where a certain percentage of the population has to live in fear of the other half? Why make women physically weaker, more vulnerable to violence, pregnancy, and social control? Why allow children to be born into danger of sexual abuse at all?

            It is not men vs. women, it is humanity vs the creator of this broken system, the Demiurge. The suffering women endure is not accidental, it is baked into the design of this reality. Predation, abuse, and exploitation are everywhere, not just between humans but in the entire animal kingdom. That reveals something about the personality of this so called benevolent and loving creator which so many people love to bow down to.

            Incarnating as a woman has it's downsides, just like incarnating as a male has it's downsides. But blaming men or women misses the bigger picture. The real evil is the so-called God who set up the rules of the game.

            Blaming men for being born with lust or women for being born physically weaker is like blaming a lion for killing a gazelle to survive. The lion did not design itself to survive that way, it was designed like that by the creator. Just like humans did not choose their instincts, drives, or vulnerabilities.

            So when abuse happens, the real blame should not go to the individual alone but to the architect of the system that made such abuse inevitable. The ridiculous "God" people worship is the one who programmed predators to kill and humans to exploit, then has the nerve to be called "loving".

            The problem is not the animals for doing what they must to survive, just as the problem is not men or women for being born into roles they never asked for. The problem is the so-called creator who set the rules to guarantee endless suffering.

              I disagree. As someone who's done enough research on religion and belief system, I've grown to understand there was always masculine and feminine in the divine. Spiritually exists as both. It is both. The problem was always man. Man has done it a travesty by pushing the feminine out of the picture. But look around. Look at the world and the changes happening. The feminine is working her way forward. It's just natural. It's why they are so afraid of lgbtq and men wanting that feminine divine to break free if it's inside them. That's why they are so afraid and making such a big stink about it.. It's all fear. Not fear of something they don't know, fear they will be stopped from stepping her out.

              [–]EsotericN1nja 5 points6 points  (0 children)

              I think you completely misunderstood what I wrote. I am not talking about masculine vs feminine energy or which one has been pushed out of the picture. I am talking about the system itself that allowed all of this to exist in the first place.

              Saying "the problem was always man" just shifts the blame from the architect of this place to the beings inside it and it is like blaming a lion for killing a gazelle when the lion was literally designed to do that. Humans did not design their instincts, weaknesses, or drives. They were born with them.

              The whole masculine/feminine framework is just another distraction from looking at the deeper truth: if the so-called creator was loving and just, the world would not have been designed this way at all. The suffering of women (or anyone) would not even exist.

              So the issue is not about "bringing the feminine back". The issue is that we are trapped in a rigged system where suffering is guaranteed by design. Until that is acknowledged, talking about energies and balance will only keep people distracted from the real problem.

              Are you saying women don't do psychological mistakes at all, don't bring any harm to anyone(women or men)? Because in only such instance you could blame one gender for everything.

              [–]BearCat1478 0 points1 point  (0 children)

              Not at all

              [–]Radiant-Ad3075 2 points3 points  (0 children)

              That is very true and it is by design in order to keep the reproductive cycle going. The parasites need as many bodies as possible to keep trapping souls.

              [–]Far_Eye451 6 points7 points  (9 children)

              You have to realize that everyone suffers not just women. The rich have infinite power compared to the poor. Men are also physically weaker than other men. And women are physically stronger than children. There’s always someone stronger than you and always someone weaker. In a civil society laws protect the weak against strong. There’s severe consequences for people who abuse children or women so it’s not all bad.

              [–]throwaway818191001[S] 16 points17 points  (6 children)

              I know, but men don't have to worry 24/7 about rape and sexualization.

              [–]Radiant-Client-9399 0 points1 point  (0 children)

              She's specifically talking about the female experience. It's far worse than for men. That can be proven very easily. Yes, men hurt too.

              Not a time for comparison, a time for discussion on the topic OP brought up.

              [–]BearCat1478 0 points1 point  (0 children)

              Honestly though, there isn't because perps get out and repeat and repeat and repeat again until someone dies. And it usually not the perp. Our society has become far from the civil you speak of.

              [–]Liburnian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

              It's bad for everyone. Nobody really wins here. 

              [–]pennypoobear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

              Black women. They take EVERYTHING from black women. Everything, everyday and blame them for it.

              the strongest argument for npc theory is the sheer amount of people that believe life is not only worth living, but a gift worth passing on

              [–]wildflower_404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

              I think once you understand that if the universe started at 0, this means nothing can truly be added to or subtracted from it. We are all living in illusion. If everything has been created from nothing, in reality nothing truly exists. Even if looking at the universe starting from 1, the monad, nothing can be added or subtracted from it if 1 is all that exists. Everything would be an extension of that 1. Still everything is illusion. Which means there is an infinity sea of possibilities from extension of the original 0 or 1. Still illusion of individuality. The experiences we have on Earth is just a manifestation of infinite possibilities from the original 0 or 1. Therefore, someone somewhere will experience something of this sea of infinite possibilities. Where a woman will see life as awful, there is another woman somewhere else experiencing the opposite. Don't take life personally, it's just energy and data collection for whoever created this. It will never end because infinity never ends. All you can do is figure out how to adjust to these rules to make your life be whatever you want it to be.

              Just my opinion.

              [–]Hro762 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

              This is a very lazy way of thinking but I understand how you come to the conclusion. Everyone thinks they have it worse off than the next person. You say it's especially awful to be incarnated as a woman because you do not know/experience what it's like to be a man. Life itself in this realm is awful, no more for either gender. You have fell for a basic divide and conquer tactic.

              [–]supershinysquirrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

              Male supremacy seems to be the oldest control mechanism for controlling men. The purpose of male supremacy is to manipulate men into harming women, blinding them to the suffering of women, and especially of the women they abuse.

              Inequality is also an ancient control mechanism for controlling privileged people - manipulating them into harming the less privileged, blinding them to the suffering of those beneath them, and especially those they abuse.

              All of the ignorant men here claiming that OP is missing the point, are the ones actually missing the point. These same men are also the ones who are allowing the demiurge to control them via male supremacy, by shitting on OP. Congratulations on choosing to serve evil, instead of exercising some humility and choosing empathy. Your understanding of empathy is very obviously that it should flow to you but never from you. That is evil.

              OP didn't say men don't have it bad. She said that, from her perspective, women have it worse. I don't see a lot of men making the effort to empathize with that, thereby proving OP's point.

              hey, a fellow asexual!

              I am male myself and I have long hair. Sometimes at night men catcall me, so i can relate a little.

              I do believe the prison is awful but I vote we try to change it for the better. Not escaping but taking over. Is there a sub for that? r/takingoverprisonplanet?
