A few things on my mind. Switching "He" to "She"
"Him" to "Her"
"His" to "Hers"
in all sacred passages.
Is there real, historic meaning in calling the spirit by the feminine?
Yes.
At 65, I realize that in my rich spiritual life, I have been working to "please daddy." No more. Now, I work to embody "HER."
