THE THEOSOPHICAL PUBLISHING HOUSE
Broader-minded, broader-hearted,
If I in heavenly blessedness
All that is, is God; but we may see Him through many
differently coloured glasses and from many different points
of view. We may see Him as the mighty Spirit informing all
things; but those things which are informed – those forms –
they are no less God, for there is nothing but God. And so
we see what we may call the feminine side of the Godhead;
and just as the masculine side of the Deity has many
manifestations, so has the feminine side many
manifestations. So in those earlier days [59] there were
many gods and goddesses, each representing an aspect, and
the gods had their priests, and the Goddesses their
priestesses, who took just as important a part in religion as
did the priests. But in the last great religions, Christianity
and Muhammadanism (both coming forth from Judaism,
which ignored the feminine side), the World-Teacher has
not chosen to make that division prominent; therefore in
Christianity and in Muhammadanism we have the priest
only; and the forces which are poured down through the
services of the Church, although they include all the
qualities, are yet so arranged, so directed, as to run through
the male form only – at present at least.
