Brilliant piece

Nabu, I'm deeply grateful for your "They Mistranslated the First Word...." teaching today. It seems to me your teaching can rest compatibly alongside the current science about the birth of the universe(s).

This falls completely in line with all of my real true experiences. Back in 2004 I moved to Mars Hill, NC. Lying out on a lounge chair a few days after the move, a lovely breeze came up. It helped sooth my energy at the time and I said, out loud, Gentle Wind, do you have a name that I can call you? And out of nowhere came these words..Ruuuu ahhhhh. A few years later in a book by Lawrence Gardner, he stated that Ruach was the name of the Spirit moving across the waters. Till this day I have called the Breath/ Wind..Ruuuach. Your work is confirming one thing after another, for me. And I am so glad I have not been educated by incorrect translations. Because my entire being is feeling this to be the truthful way. I just had a major release from my bowels while reading this, signifying that it is right on! Thank you Nabu!

Thank you again Nabu. I learned this when I was 24. A brilliant Hebrew professor at University in Brussels (Belgium) where I lived at those times. So happy to meet you as a fellow searcher of truth and life.

Big Bang theory postulates that light couldn't happen until there was enough hydrogen, and the light was not exactly something you could read by. It was pretty dark for a while, until stars could be born. A fascinating parallel, honestly. Whoever wrote that was listening deeply to Creation.

The feminine divine breath of creation fits with the holy spirit.

As you peeled back the layers word by word, the inexpressible joy kept building and growing in me! Thank you. Snippets of this truth from my childhood to the present reading are now coalescing into the totality of reality. Words used to describe how I am experiencing this are as limiting as trying to label the infinite. Blessings to you with my gratitude!

Thank you! I agree that the original is more fully expressing creation. It was distilled to a all male Reader's Digest version. I always had trouble with the way they taught the formation of the feminine. To think I as a woman is inconsequential to creation and am yoked to a man's wishes, then why do I have a soul, heart and brain. They were trying to change the feminine into no more than an animal.

Truly appreciate this as it goes to the center of thoughts I began developing some time ago. While I didn't see all of this I began to sense that there were so many hidden layers of meaning. Mainly that we are made in the "image" of God. That it is an inner image not outward appearance. That alone began to reshape my thoughts.

It is with the breath and the wind that consciousness is given to shape the wild and untamed places within us.

Seeing the stories as an outward expression of the inner journey.
