We’ve Come A Long Way Baby!

In the modern world, we are not really dependent on men for anything except helping us make babies. And soon we probably won’t need them for that as well. So we need to set our sights on higher things than that old glass ceiling we’ve been after for so long.

Let’s face it. Women are currently at the top of their game. There are a growing number of female CEO’s and entrepreneurs, there are female ministers in governments all over the world, and even female prime ministers. Apart from a few technical professions that really only suit men, women today can do anything!

So Why Are We Never Satisfied?

Women are never really satisfied. Men can focus on achieving something very short-term and specific. But women have a much higher threshold for pain and suffering. We carry a child inside us for nine months, and give birth to the next generation. We have inner forces from nature that allow us to endure long and hard processes. Why can’t we ever be truly satisfied? Because we are looking for satisfaction in all the wrong places.

The following are a list of things we think we want, but they will not make us truly happy:

EQUALITY

Women are complete equals in every aspect of our society today, but has that made us happier?

FREEDOM

We can get up and walk out of a marriage or a relationship, go anywhere in the world, and experience other cultures. Has that made us happier?

LOVE

We think we are looking for our “other half”, our soul mate, or the love of our life, but what we’re really yearning for is a love that is beyond this world.

MONEY

I think we are reaching a point where we understand that buying ourselves more designer this or that will not truly make us happy.

CAREER

We love knowing that we can go as far as men in the corporate world, but it usually comes at a very high price — especially in a woman’s case.

We set this high goal of climbing the corporate ladder and breaking through the glass ceiling — an unseen barrier. Well here is where things get really interesting ….

Setting Our Sights Higher

According to the wisdom of Kabbalah, there is a ladder of stages to ascend along the spiritual path. The first rung of the ladder is the most difficult, and that is why it is called the barrier between this world, and the next (the next stage).

Essentially the spiritual process is about correcting our egoistic nature, which means literally transforming our nature into becoming completely compassionate and giving humans.

The process is designed for men, but they cannot complete their mission without the support of women, who are less limited in their vision, and have a better ability to endure long-term challenges.

A man and woman together form a vessel for receiving the light that transforms us to our ideal state. So when looking for the ideal partner on our spiritual path, we need to keep all this in mind.

Men and women on the spiritual path together are not competing in any way because they complete one another. Where one leaves off, the other begins. The man brings all the light from the internal power of the study, while the woman arranges the home and looks after the children. She may also be the main breadwinner in the family. And just as lines are blurring in the corporate world, soon women will be just as capable of drawing the inner light as men.

#WomensEqualityDay

There have been many women events lately. There was Women’s International Day at the beginning of the month, women seem to be protesting everywhere these days, and today is Women’s Equality Day.

What we really need to have is a Women Unite The World day. Genuine unity is the only thing that will truly make us happy. When we unite simply for the sake of unity, nature releases positive forces that elevate us to a higher state of being.

None of this comes naturally to us and we need constant reminders to keep us moving in the right direction. But since women are the child bearers and more connected to nature, it is easier for us to stay on the correct path. And our main role in spirituality, is to keep the men on the right path. This may sound subservient but it’s the most empowering thing a woman can experience in this world.

So you want equality? Don’t look for it in your paycheck or rights, look for it in a partner that you will be connected to from here to eternity. Look for someone that will complete you, so that the combination of your personalities will be able to get you through even the most challenging obstacles on the path.

Men and women are not equal in any way, shape or form. They were never intended to be equal. Together, they form a perfect vessel for receiving all the abundance nature has in store for us.

Just To Recap

There is an unseen barrier that we need to get through, but men and women cross it together on their spiritual path. They cross it as full partners even though they carried out different roles to get there.

Rather than focusing on ascending the rungs of the corporate ladder, women should be aware that ascending the spiritual ladder will get them millions of times more fulfillment.

We are living in a time where people are beginning to realize that accumulation of material things will no longer fulfill us. Our souls are yearning for a more meaningful type of fulfillment.

In that, we are all completely equal.
