Women and Change in the Middle East

By Norma Gentile

What my inner guidance and outer guides have been saying to me since 2001 is evident — the women of the Middle East are gathering together and creating change.

Below are excerpts of channeled information from Thoth, the Hathor Atamira and Ascended Masters that I received beginning in the early part of 2001 up until the present. Some of this has been published, but much of it appears here for the first time. A list of complete articles appears at the end.

Empowerment — It is Time to Speak

Perhaps you saw in 2002 the photo in the paper of the gathering of predominantly women in Iraq, protesting because their sons, husbands, and brothers were nowhere to be found after the general amnesty that released many political prisoners from the Iraqi jails.

Here was the anguish of many, facing the soldiers who fired into the air to warn them to disperse. But they did not, and neither did the soldiers advance on them.

In small ways I believe that we will continue to see the heart of women, particularly those living in the Middle East, become open with compassion, and yet wielding a sacred power that the worldly masculine dare not trample upon.

Speaking Truth, Seeing Love

One of my spiritual teachers and guides is Atamira, a Hathor. She shared with me the observation that the opening of the throat chakra among women (and men) in developed nations is actually the thymus gland expanding its range of activity.

Thus far the gland has been primarily involved with aspects of communion between people. The psychic energies in this area of the throat are the result of the acknowledgement of the inter-connectedness of all life.

The new lower 5th chakra (located at the base of the neck, in the sternal notch) is opening now because the heart energies of men's physical bodies are more stable. It is these newly emerging masculine heart energies that create a safe place for the intuitive feminine. Because of the inter-connection that is shared by all of humanity, the physical body was incapable of receiving these psychic feminine 5th chakra energies until now.

The agreement to open this aspect of the female body is indeed an agreement to open the Divine Feminine energies further into form. And where the Divine Feminine walks, the Sacred Masculine goes also.

The liberation of Afghani women from the political and physical laws of the Taliban will be one of the external physical signs of this opening.

From Atamira

"For years we have said that there can be no lasting peace among nations until there is peace between men and women. Yes, you could also say that peace must first come from within. Peace and honor must first be known by our very natures. Your bodies hold and contain both male and female energies, both male and female qualities. Aligning these into balance and respect for yourselves lets you see and honor these same qualities in others.

"The women of Afghanistan have at stake much. They are the forerunners of the new generation of women leaders. Watch as they work in teams, both domestically and politically. Theirs is not a politics easily seen by the western media. Their political power comes from the family. It will be invited to arise as men slow a bit, and become aware of the extreme exhaustion, physically, mentally, and emotionally, that they have experienced for the past years. Given the opportunity, many men will, eventually, willingly give the reins of power to women, as this allows them to step back and rest themselves."

Safeguarding the Manifestation of the Divine Feminine

The Koran and Torah both were both given to protect a very specific essence of the female energies that are being held by agreement in the Middle East. This essence of the Divine Feminine is held by a series of souls that are incarnating and have taken on the ability to incarnate and reincarnate over and over in this geographic area. They, like all incarnating as humans, have the ability to shift out of that pattern for awhile, but overall have taken that responsibility.

From Archangel Michael

We have spoken before that the key, one key of several, is hidden in the bodies of the women who are incarnating now in the Middle East. They are the ones that hold a very fine quality of sacred female energy. The Koran was written specifically to protect this quality of energy, never to subjugate it. It is meant to provide guidelines for the masculine to build safely those areas in which the feminine then could plant the seeds in these women's bodies.

As things have developed historically, as your history as developed and circulated, this seed was planted in an area, a region of the planet besieged with strife caused by off-planet energies. As a result, this key has yet to be unlocked. It was misunderstood. The key will soon be available to open the door.

Healing the Wound of Power

Those incarnating in female bodies in the area of the Middle East hold within them a very special key to compassion. Their bodies, minds and hearts are channels for a unique quality of energy which is crucial to your planetary cycle's evolution.

Releasing these beings to express who they are is the ultimate goal of the work you in the US and other 'first world' countries are doing now. As anyone in form upon the earth releases a pattern, all who share in that pattern have the option to release it also. As you release your victimhood patterns, you release the persecutor. One aspect cannot exist without the other. Victim and persecutor are the same energy of sacred power, bent through the profane masculine and feminine roles.

Gender Issues from Atamira

As we come to a close in this cycle, and so that which is not a part of our next cycle is also coming to an end.

For women, particularly of the Middle East, this means being allowed, and supported, in expressing the power of the sacred feminine which they each carry within themselves.

So much of the war pattern in the Middle East is based on the lack of sacred feminine energies. Male energies alone, regardless of their sacred or profane nature, can never bring balance into a situation. It is only with the total and complete honoring of each being's self-expression that a culture of peace grows. It is only when all women of the Middle East, and the planet, are free to express the power of the sacred feminine which lies within them, that the earth will come to balance and final peace.

Opening the Sacred Male Heart

The energy of our thoughts, our prayers, and even our physical motions are moving to one of the deepest wound on the planet; that of sexuality, bound by religion. The energy is moving not to try to seal the wound, but to expose the falsehoods, and atrocities of human behavior unfettered from spiritual direction.

The focus of this concert is the opening of the heart to sacred masculine energies which provide a surround and support for feminine intuition, especially as it relates to the women living in the Middle East, and their emerging sacred feminine power.
