Wisdom is calling us, Sophia is calling<\/em>
Raising her voice, she stands by the city gates,<\/em>
at the crossroads, on the mountaintop.<\/em>
At every entrance, she is standing, shouting<\/em>
to us: “O people”, she calls, “learn from me!”<\/em>
Listen to me, for I speak nothing but the truth.<\/em>
Know my ways, for they are richer than silver.<\/em>
Know my secrets, and you do not need gold.<\/em>
Listen to me, my words are more precious than rubies.<\/em>
My words are riper than figs, sweeter than dates,<\/em>
more nourishing than applies and olives.<\/em>
Kings and princes and careful judges know me,<\/em>
and so do those who simply love knowledge.<\/em>
Follow me on the path of truth.<\/em>
Follow me to the way of justice.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nSophia.\n Wisdom. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nHohkma\nin Hebrew, Sapientia in Latin, Sophia in Greek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nSophia\nis the personification of Wisdom. She is the Mother of Creation. She\nis the female soul\/spirit, seen by some as the true power behind the\nJudeo-Christian god. She is the Mother of All, born of Silence\naccording to the Gnostic creation myth, as well as the Gnostic\nconception of the female Holy Ghost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nShe\ngave birth to both female and male, who created the elements of this\nworld. Her aspects include Mother of God, Black Goddess, Divine\nFemale. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her sacred number is seven, due to the seven pillars, at Her home, built by Her own hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her symbol is the dove, which not only represents spirit, but has always represented the Great Goddess, and is one of the primary symbols of female sexuality. Doves were raised within Her temples, as well as in the temples of myriad other Goddesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of Her main temples is the Hagia Sophia, in Istanbul, where She is crowned with stars, a symbol of absolute divinity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She is wise, loving, protective, giving, and truthful and wishes to communicate with us. Her wisdom leads to truth. Pay attention, over the din of the world, to what She has to say. We need but be still and listen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

From the moment you enter<\/em>
till the time to surrender to death<\/em>
all that you experience<\/em>
directly for yourself<\/em>
all the burnt fingers<\/em>
to discover that the fire is hot<\/em>
all the falling flat<\/em>
when your reach exceeds your grasp<\/em>
all the explorations<\/em>
of territory known and unknown<\/em>
all these are pathways to me<\/em>
Seek to know<\/em>
and you are me<\/em>
stretch to become<\/em>
and you are me<\/em>
The Feminine quests for wisdom<\/em>
The Feminine is part of all women<\/em>
All women are the Goddess<\/em>
All women have wisdom<\/em>
All women are Sophia<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
