All human life on the planet is born of woman. The one unifying, incontrovertible experi-
ence shared by all women and men is that months-long period we spent unfolding inside
a woman’s body.
Probably there is nothing in human nature more resonant with charges than the
flow of energy between two biologically alike bodies, one of which has lain in amniotic
bliss inside the other, one of which has labored to give birth to the other. The materials
are here for the deepest mutuality and the most painful estrangement.
–Adrian
Rich,
Of Woman Born
We seem to diverge rather far in the role we assign to intuition. Your mystics rely on it to
teach them how to solve the riddle of the universe; we believe that it cannot reveal to us
anything but primitive, instinctual impulses and attitudes
–
highly valuable for
an embry-
ology of the soul
when correctly interpreted, but worthless for orientation in the alien, ex-
ternal world.
–Sigmund
Freud to Romain Rolland, January 19, 1930
Come and see: All those plants and all those burning lamps all shine and glow, are wa-
tered and blessed, from that flowing, gushing river, in which all is comprised, totality of
all. This is called Mother of the Garden, above the garden, for Eden joins with Her, not
parting from Her. Consequently, all springs issue, flow, and water in every direction,
opening gateways in Her. So Compassion derives from Her, Compassion is opened in Her.
Yet since we call Her Mother, Female, Gevurah and Judgment issue from Her [. . . . ]
היהא
היהא רשא
(Ehyeh
asher ehyeh),
“I
am that I am (Exodus 3:14), and I do not fathom it.” Mys-
tery of the matter is as follows:
היהא
(ehyeh), I am
–
totality of all, for when paths are con-
cealed, not diverging, included in one place, then it is called Ehyeh, totality of all, hidden
and not revealed. Once a beginning emerges and that river is impregnated, to channel all,
then it is called
היהא רשא
(asher
ehyeh),
that I am, meaning:
“Until
here I am; I am ready
to convey and give birth to all.”
“Ehyeh,
I am
–
meaning:
‘Now
I am totality of all, gener-
ality with no particular.’”
Asher ehyeh,
that I am
–
for Mother is impregnated and ready to
receive all particulars and reveal the supernal Name [. . .] Afterward, He generated that
river
–
supernal Mother
–
and She became pregnant, ready to give birth; and He said,
asher ehyeh,
that I am, prepared to give birth and arrange all.
–Zohar
3:65a–b (Matt, 7, 427–430)
