3rd Wave Feminism and Quantum Consciousness

This is an excerpt of a letter that I sent to my spiritual teacher, Leslie Temple-Thurston (www.corelight.org) Leslie is on retreat in Egypt and unable to access much news from the states at this time. She is a fully enlightened being and works with global issues on a quantum level. (More on that later.)

3rd Wave Feminism and Quantum Consciousness. 

I feel like a war correspondent reporting from the front lines of the War on Women; not caught up in the polarities but reporting from the field.  It makes sense in a 3D way that the media keeps using the words "War on Women" in so many headlines and stories.  While on one hand it appears that the words create  more division and polarization, it's actually created much raised awareness, communication and unity between men and women here in the states and this is showing up all over. 

The subject of misogyny has been in the forefront of the news in this country for about ten weeks now and it's amazing how many men (and women) are grasping their silent participation and beginning to take action to unravel the twisted knots of legislation that would bind us in patriarchy and separation if we allow it..

Women who have been asleep for years are waking up and asking husbands and boyfriends, "don't you think I should have equal pay for equal work?" and, "isn't my body mine to govern? Yours is yours to govern. What's the difference?"   Women are demanding that their male partners recognize that women have fewer rights then men across the globe, from unequal pay to legalized murder and everything in-between. Men are being asked if discrimination is okay with them, and if not, what are they going to do about it?

This movement is very different than the last wave of feminism in the 70's. Now, as we shift into One Heart, men are truly questioning the patriarchal privilege accorded to them based on gender, and many of them don't want it,  and they're choosing to make a stand for a higher consciousness.  There are several actions coming up that will create more conversation and visibility of the inequity between the genders. There will be a national Women's Strike in August and another march on Washington in August and one in September as well.

In the last wave of feminism we made the mistake constantly reinventing the wheel by forming lots and lots of organizations which then competed and before long, infighting took more time and energy than organizing and the movement lagged.   It is my intention to unify as many new groups as possible and offer the potential for non-polarized activism, energetic activism as well as political organizing as activism. It is my intention to keep seeding this movement energetically with balance and unity consciousness and holding it from the grid of the highest possible vibration. 

Here's what's happening in the states right now: For Processing:  Especially pay attention to #3 as  it  gets to the core of Illuminati energy...human trafficking seems to be the means of collecting and storing the negative energy extracted from millions of women and children who are sold, enslaved, tortured and killed. I pasted more info on the revision of the Domestic Violence Act below the following Huffington Post Article.

From the Huffington Post:

5 Major issues facing women right now.

1-Women are losing ground--fast--on abortion rights in states that were previously neutral. On Thursday morning, the Guttmacher Institute released some shocking data--although it's less shocking for those of us who have been following the war on women. What it revealed? The record number of abortion restrictions passed in 2011 has meant a massive shift for women in terms of which states were supportive of reproductive rights and which were overtly "hostile:

    As a result, the number of both supportive and middle-ground states shrank considerably, while the number of hostile states ballooned. In 2000, 19 states were middle-ground and only 13 were hostile. By 2011, when states enacted a record-breaking number of new abortion restrictions (see box), that picture had shifted dramatically: 26 states were hostile to abortion rights, and the number of middle-ground states had cut in half, to nine.

These states are deemed hostile if they have four or more of a combination of restrictions, including late-term bans, parental notification provisions, mandatory ultrasounds, cuts to family planning funds, restrictions on insurance both public and private, waiting periods and counseling, and Targeted Regulation of Abortion providers. The definition makes sense: stack several of these restrictions together, and you have states that are pre-Roe in essence. Imagine you're a woman of moderate means trying to get an abortion. If your insurance coverage is restricted so you have to pay out of pocket, and you have to make two trips and miss two days of work to get the procedure done, speak to a counselor and be subjected to an ultrasound, you may not be able to exercise your right at all.

As Guttmacher notes:

    The implications of this shift are enormous. In 2000, the country was almost evenly divided, with nearly a third of American women of reproductive age living in states solidly hostile to abortion rights, slightly more than a third in states supportive of abortion rights and close to a third in middle-ground states. By 2011, however, more than half of women of reproductive age lived in hostile states. This growth came largely at the expense of the states in the middle, and the women who live in them; in 2011, only one in 10 American women of reproductive age lived in a middle-ground state.

Now some of this shifting ground has to do with the fact that in these now-hostile states, Tea-Party and conservative legislatures have taken over. In other words, the sharp political divide in our country has actually had a dire effect on women's health access on the ground. And they just keep coming. Some of the proposed laws don't even fit into the Guttmacher categories due to their extreme absurdity, such as Utah's "don't say sex" bill--which would forbid mentioning sex-related topics in schools--and Kansas's "let doctors lie" bill which would protect doctors who don't tell pregnant women information that might lead to an abortion.

And mandatory ultrasound bill's like Texas's, which just went into effect, are already beginning to devastate women.

2-The assault on birth control isn't over, and some want to deny women the right to use it at all. AlterNet readers were among the many who were outraged by a new bill advancing along in Arizona that would essentially allow employers to sniff through the personal history of female employees:

    The Senate Judiciary Committee voted 6-2 Monday to endorse a controversial bill that would allow Arizona employers the right to deny health insurance coverage for contraceptives based on religious objections.

    Arizona House Bill 2625, authored by Majority Whip Debbie Lesko, R-Glendale, would permit employers to ask their employees for proof of medical prescription if they seek contraceptives for non-reproductive purposes, such as hormone control or acne treatment.

This provision wouldn't just intrude on women's privacy, writes Corey Robin, but open them up to blatant discrimination:

    Notice the second provision of the Arizona legislation: employers will now have the right to question their employees about what they plan to do with their birth-control prescriptions. Not only is this a violation of the right to privacy -- again, not a right our Constitution currently recognizes in the workplace -- but it obviously can give employers the necessary information they need to fire an employee.  If a women admits to using contraception in order to not get pregnant, there’s nothing in the Constitution to stop an anti-birth control employer from firing her.

Meanwhile, the Conference of Catholic Bishops, despite the PR loss that might have been occasioned by the all-male birth control panel, has duly voted to redouble their attacks on birth control -- or in their words, their defense of "religious freedom."

3-The Violence Against Women Act is under threat in the Senate. Once Joe Biden's precious piece of legislation that has been re authorized easily over repeated years, the Violence Against Women or VAWA act has suddenly become contentious yet again this year because of new protections aimed at LGBT citizens, Native Americans, and immigrants. Even though the bill has actually had the good effect of increasing domestic violence reporting, some members of the GOP appear ready to throw women under the buss in their effort to exclude other disadvantaged groups from its helpful reach. As its primary sponsor Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont told HuffPo's Amanda Terkel, "You cannot say that we will seek to stop domestic violence, but only for certain people. It just boggles the mind. It goes against everything I ever knew as a prosecutor, but it also goes against everything I know as a human being."

4-Abortion doctors and pregnant women are being targeted. This is one of the most disturbing but important fronts of the war on women--the criminilization of pregnant women and the targeting of abortion doctors. In Kansas, for instance, Dr. Mila Means, the doctor who wanted to open up a practice in Dr. Tiller's place has been prevented by relentless threats and harassment. In Indiana, a pregnant woman who tried to commit suicide and lost her baby has been imprisoned for over a year now.

5-We're defending ground we shouldn't be defending. When absurd bills like the ones described above in Arizona, Utah, and Kansas are defeated, it feels like a victory. But in fact, progressives are just playing defense. The right wing has always been good at pushing for the most extreme measures so that anything else seems like a compromise. Lose mandatory vaginal ultrasounds, keep mandatory abdominal ultrasounds. Lose a ban on saying sex, keep abstinence education. And as the statistics from Guttmacher show, even with a continual pushback from feminists, these laws are still coming through piece by piece, and some members of the mainstream media are following for the "religious freedom" framing that is the latest canny re-dubbing from the playbook that brought us "Right to Work" states for union-busting and "pro-life" for anti-women policies.

As Gloria Feldt told Irin Carmon at Salon this week, advocates for reproductive rights need to talk freedom, too, by advancing the "Freedom of Choice" act, a bill that would forbid discrimination against women based on their "reproductive status." Instead of just reacting to the volley of misogyny, we need to keep advancing our own agenda of equality. The pushback against Komen, against Limbaugh, against the Blunt Amendment should just be the beginning.

 

Regarding #3, the Revision of the Violence Against Women act:     This is mind blowing...The revision is being backed by a legal human trafficking org. disguised as a  match-making org, aka mail-Order-Brides.  Please read:

"...A top official at an anti-domestic violence advocacy group that has been encouraging the House GOP to roll back protections for immigrant victims in the Violence Against Women Act (or VAWA) is the founder of a controversial international matchmaking company, domestic violence workers warned lawmakers on Monday night.

The advocacy group, Stop Abusive and Violent Environments, or SAVE, has been lobbying the House of Representatives to include a "reform to curb VAWA immigration fraud" in its version of the bill. The GOP version of the bill does that by removing confidentiality protections for immigrant victims of abuse and forcing them to tell their alleged abusive husbands that they're applying for protected immigrant status. It also removes an avenue through which immigrant victims can achieve permanent citizenship.

An official of SAVE has a major financial interest in reducing immigrant protections: Its treasurer, Natasha Spivack, started international "marriage service" Encounters International in 1993 with the aim of arranging marriages between U.S. men and Russian women.
