Enjoyed the conversation. I will be ordering your book. I am 63 and have always had a special place for Mother since my youth. There was abuse in my family which caused me to struggle trusting a relationship with any male. Father and elder Brother Jesus. When I was little, I needed comfort and instinctively went to Mother. I was not taught much about her, but I developed a relationship with her and had an experience as well. I was too young to realize this was not typical. Of course as I grew to understand my Savior, that relationship is solid in trust and love! But I do however, attribute so much to Her to get me through my journey and direct me to Her Son. I love Her 🤍🤍

Having been a Catholic for 30 years I think they understood the need for the feminine divine. Elevating Mary to a high status and making her relatable was perfect. My mom and sisters prayed to Mary directly for comfort, guidance, and peace. Also, several women Catholic Saints serve a similar purpose. These feminine divine entities don’t replace God or Jesus but fill a huge hole in the predominantly male based Christian paradigm.

“Upon this, an old woman who had approached the group, to better hear Issa [Jesus Christ] was pushed aside by one of the disguised men, who placed himself before her. Then said Issa [Jesus Christ]: "It is not good for a son to push away his mother, that he may occupy the place which belongs to her. Whoso doth not respect his mother-the most sacred being after his God-is unworthy of the name of son. “Hearken to what I say to you: Respect woman; for in her we see the mother of the universe, and all the truth of divine creation is to come through her. “She is the fount of everything good and beautiful, as she is also the germ of life and death. Upon her man depends in all his existence, for she is his moral and natural support in his labors. “In pain and suffering she brings you forth; in the sweat of her brow she watches over your growth, and until her death you cause her greatest anxieties. Bless her and adore her, for she is your only friend and support on earth. “Respect her; defend her. In so doing you will gain for yourself her love; you will find favor before God, and for her sake many sins will be remitted to you. “Love your wives and respect them, for they will be the mothers of tomorrow and later the grandmothers of a whole nation. “Be submissive to the wife; her love ennobles man, softens his hardened heart, tames the wild beast in him and changes it to a lamb. “Wife and mother are the priceless treasures which God has given to you. They are the most beautiful ornaments of the universe, and from them will be born all who will inhabit the world. “Even as the Lord of Hosts separated the light from the darkness, and the dry land from the waters, so does woman possess the divine gift of calling forth out of man's evil nature all the good that is in him. “Therefore I say unto you, after God, to woman must belong your best thoughts, for she is the divine temple where you will most easily obtain perfect happiness. “Draw from this temple your moral force. There you will forget your sorrows and your failures, and recover the love necessary to aid your fellow men. “Suffer her not to be humiliated, for by humiliating her you humiliate yourselves, and lose the sentiment of love, without which nothing can exist here on earth. “Protect your wife, that she may protect you-you and all your household. All that you do for your mothers, your wives, for a widow, or for any other woman in distress, you will do for your God." From “The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ,” by Nicolas Notovich. Account of Jesus’s teachings during His time in India.
