O.  Relationship situation on Planet Earth
 

Without Synthesis  If a woman lacks love for Buddha, who would inspire her with »the word« to teach the Dharma, as she may seek refuge with other saints, masters or prophets, and she also lacks merciful spiritual power {through the dhikr} to communicate her humane voice, she is in a rather bad position, as she cannot get her husband to stand by her with the star of his soul so that they can successfully give peace to the earth.

"She spoke to him, she sang to him; resistless was her strain: half drew
him in, half lured him in; he ne’er was seen again." Goethe, The Fisherman.

First of all, on the inner, spiritual path, the feminine soul must annihilate itself, "so that only God remains" (Master Eckhart), which allows the heart and mind to be healthy. If women have fought for their right to free themselves 'from attachment to the works of the stubborn divinity', so that the Holy Spirit 'power of the Most High¹ may come upon them', then they can manifest themselves in public and enlighten men as the sun illuminates the moon, "so that God may teach his prudent friend, the Protestant ethic, »chastity of soul and obedience«" (Marguerite Porète).

¹The angel answered,
The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.
So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. (Luke 1:35)

Versuch einer Frieden schaffenden Ethik

'Gute Frauen gehören zu guten Männern' – was guten Männern von den geistlichen spirituellen Frauen nicht erlaubt wird, ist verboten; 'gute Männer gehören zu guten Frauen' – was guten Frauen vom offenbarten Geist der erleuchteten Seelen (die Kulturell-Kreativen) nicht verboten wurde, ist erlaubt. 'Diese werden freigesprochen von dem, was man über sie redet. Bestimmt ist für sie Vergebung und trefflicher Unterhalt.' (Qur'an 24, Das Licht).

To love is a sin, and not to love is a crime. Wir werden nicht geliebt, weil wir nicht zu lieben wissen. Liebe ist dann geboten, wenn es von den erleuchteten Kulturell-Kreativen nicht erlaubt bzw. von den geistlichen spirituellen Frauen verboten wurde, sie nicht auszuführen. Einzig das marianische Gewissen kann 'Umkehr zur Buße' in uns bewirken.

The soul of man is a mirror – a palace of mirrors, for not man’s soul leads to Universal Knowledge, but Divine Feminine Wisdom – the peace {Al Uzza}, the prosperity {Manat}, the freedom {Al Lat} – leads "from love to the Lord, with all the heart, with all the soul, with all the power, with all the mind, and the neighbour as yourself" (Golden Rule¹) to the culture »Planetary Consciousness« in the mirror of the Cultural Creatives, men’s duty (dharma) of One service in the planetary community. The truth body of the relationship counsellor, the feminine »tree of knowledge«, the awakened 'third eye' reveals the purpose of life in the creative power of the 'archetypes', which kind of seed would be in accordance that God’s Femininity speaks, "I am who I will be" (Exodus 3:14); this is the secret of Diotima's teaching to Socrates: 'Love is concerned with creation and birth in beauty': "One must be perfect to become perfect."

¹So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you,
for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. (Matthew 7:12)

Like the ideal of the male conscience within his spiritual circle, so is the creation of women in the world  It should be a natural law for a man to give his heart to his wife in exchange for herself, the heart of brotherhood: 'He contemplates what has been created and formed, and with his gaze and God's grace, he makes her happy. He sees and rejoices in deep contemplation' (Nanak Dev, Jabji Sahib 37). 'When man and woman are united in their inner hearts, they can break the strength of iron or ore. Behold, those who understand each other completely in their inner hearts, their words are sweet and strong like the fragrance of orchids.' (Kung Fu Tzu). Then the woman can live in humble reverence before His presence and spur herself on with tireless effort to finally attain union with Him. Then the man will love you with a strength that burns away all impurities and illuminates the path to your door.

Wisdom of the body, heart and soul
'He touched the ear and healed him' Luke 22,51

Once the Blessed One was staying at Anáthapindika's Bhikkhu home in the Jeta Grove near Sávatthi. There he addressed the people thus: I will speak to you about spiritual retreat.

If a man contemplates, fasts, prays, and meditates in the solitude of a forest or desert and fails to cultivate mindfulness [satipatthana], to achieve mental concentration, to ward off temptations and impulses, and to attain supreme peace, and if, moreover, the necessities of life - clothing, almsfood, a resting place and medicine for illness - come to him only sparingly, then he should realise this and hasten away from the solitude of retreat, whether by night or by day, and not remain there. – If he stays in a monastery and does not succeed in practicing mindfulness, but what he needs for life comes to him there without difficulty, then he should remember that he did not become a human being in order to be provided for, and then after a while he should leave this spiritual place and not stay there.

If a man is led by the Spirit into the solitude of a forest or desert and succeeds there in practicing mindfulness, gaining concentration, warding off the tempter¹, and achieving supreme peace, but if what he needs for life comes to him only sparingly, then he should think like this: I am succeeding in the exercises here, but I am only sparingly receiving what I need for life. He should stay in this retreat for a while and not leave immediately. – But if he stays in the solitude of divine unity and succeeds there in practicing mindfulness and achieving supreme peace, and if what he needs for life comes to him there without difficulty, then he should remain a retreat teacher¹ for his entire life and not leave.

If a man maintains relationships with a village and a market, or a city and a district, and a woman, and yet he fails to cultivate mindfulness and concentration, to ward off impulses, and attain supreme peace, and if the necessities of life come to him only sparingly, then he should reflect on this and, whether night or day, depart from that woman quickly and not stay with her. If, in such relationships, he fails to cultivate absorption [rupaj- and arupaj-jhanas], but the necessities of life come to him without difficulty, then he should consider that he did not become a human being to be provided for, and after a while, he should depart from that woman without saying goodbye and not stay.²

If, in such relationships, he succeeds in practicing mindfulness [sasmita samapatti] and achieving creative peace, but the necessities of life flow to the man only sparsely, then he should consider that he did not become a human being to be provided for; he may stay with that woman for a few days and not leave immediately.

If, however, in such relationships, he succeeds in practicing mindfulness and achieving enlightenment, and the necessities of life flow to him without difficulty, then he should remain with that woman his entire life, as long as he is not expelled.

'Mindfulness arises from deep devotion; devotion arises from ardent zeal that follows from recognizing the sublimity of creative activity' (Shantideva).

Thus spoke the Blessed One, and the bhikkhus accepted his words with joy and gratitude.

(according to the Pali Canon, Majjhima Nikaya, Vanapattha Sutta).

¹Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness
to be tempted by the devil. (Matthew 4:1)

²Whatever town or village you enter, search there for some worthy person and stay at their house until you leave. As you enter the home, give it your greeting. If the home is deserving, let your peace rest on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you. If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet. (Matthew 10:11-14)

¹ The dervish, as the retreat teacher is also called today, calls, like John the Baptist once did, to repentance, self-reflection, and inner purification. In his devotion, his pursuit of truth {al-Hallaj in al-Baida}, his self-sacrifice for the cause of humanity, he is truly justified in pursuing the path of celibacy. 'The lower (fragile-X-chromosome¹) can only be guided by the head². And when the head rises, so does the tail' (Zohar, BeMidbar 47).

¹And last of all he appeared to me also, the unexpected one, to one abnormally born. (1 Corinthians 15:8)

²To the weak I became weak, to win the weak.
I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some.
I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings. (1 Corinthians 9:22-23)
