In the 3rd segment of our discussion of frequency #10 (Kamala), we discuss Kamala's role in the beautification of the individual. "Freq. #10 works with freq. #2 to ground beauty in the Sophianic animist individual (each lover of the Sophianic Narrative) and to enable each one to embody beauty."
Most of this segment involves a deep dive into the Race-Romantic Ethos, an important concept in Sophianic ideosophy (a tightly-bound combo of ideology and philosophy). It's not about trying to secure priority or supremacy for any race on the world scene, but about adopting the proper (sacred) appreciation for one's own race, promoting excellence and peak expressions of racial culture, as well as standing up for the interests of one's race and not permitting them to be minimized or trampled. It's not about making race a problem, but about letting race be a natural and healthy part of as many (win/win) solutions as possible.

A few copies of the first edition are available. They will be collector’s items once the 2021 edition comes out. A good investment even if you don’t read it. (Collectors are not selling some first editions of my books for thousands of dollars.) Most readers of the book say they need to read it more than once, and enjoy doing so.

In the final segment of this week's meeting and of our independent study of the subject of independent study - what could be more appropriate? - we concluded with some discussion around which subject to consider next. We didn't reach a decision but we expect to do so via offline discussion and to launch into consideration of the chosen subject (probably one of the candidates mentioned in this segment) in the next meeting.
[Visit us online](http://sa-usa.org) and consider subscribing to our newsletter. We will be opening up general membership soon to anyone who is moved by [the Home Story](http://sophianicmyth.org), the [Sophianic Myth](https://nemeta.org/course/2-sophianic-cosmology/) that orients the human species within the cosmos, and who wants to establish and maintain a deep personal connection to the Goddess who is the living earth, Gaia-Sophia. And as a member, you too would enjoy the option to take part in this ongoing adventure of group learning and/or in other activities of the heretical, life-and-nature-oriented Sophianic church.
This talk by JLL is intimately related to the interview at the following link and to the subject matter discussed in SA USA's 2021.06.06 Sophianic Reading Club Meeting, a recording of which also can be found on this channel.

A few copies of the first edition are available. They will be collector’s items once the 2021 edition comes out. A good investment even if you don’t read it. However, most fans of the book recommend reading NIHI more than once, so having both editions would be optimal.

* Reading of an excerpt from an article by JLL concerning Shodashi and the segue from a Bhairavi Shift into a Shodashi Shift some years past; summary of main points:
** Honoring another person implies recognizing within the other, male or female, the power of the Goddess
** Honor is the key virtue in Pagan ethics
** The honorable act is the courageous response
** Strength exercised in recognition of the Goddess is the mark of heroic character
** Live authentically in strength, honesty and honor unto death
* Regarding Bhairavi's instruction, "Freedom stands at the end of secrecy," honesty does require disclosing all that one knows
* There's a balance in the "need to know" between the interests of the individual and those of the group
* Governments, pretending to be acting in the interests of the governed, tend to hide much that doesn't need to be hidden and shouldn't be hidden, which would expose their pretense if known
* The right choice between disclosure and withholding information is associated with discernment, circumspection, which means careful consideration of all relevant factors and finding a balance that maximizes benefit and minimizes unnecessary harm
* Alignment with the Bhairavi frequency means to embody honesty and honor to a heroic degree -- which is characteristically Pagan, not genuinely promoted (or at least, not prioritized) by the Abrahamic belief systems; it exemplifies a noble Pagan, Goddess-oriented, system of values and ethics
* Part of the sacred mission in which each Sophianic animist participates is to revive and embody a system of genuine Goddess-oriented values and ethics -- which, like historical Pagan ethics, is an honor system
* Important general point about the Shakti Cluster: The feminine bias of the personalizations of the 18 frequencies as devatas / dakinis / goddesses is due to the planetwide resurgence of shakti, feminine divine energy, as Gaia awakens in Her lucid dream, which is necessary to compensate for centuries of deviance into patriarchal excess and denigration / suppression of women; the ultimate objective is to restore gender balance and heal the gender rift
* Origins and exacerbating factors in the gender rift include the (evidently, accidental) shearing of the Anthropos template by the Aeon Sophia, the use of divide-and-conquer agendas by the enemies of humanity and of life, and the tendency of humans to engage in "cycles of abuse" that will continue unless / until deliberate action is taken to end them
* One may be able to cite from one's own experience inter-gender relationships that have been plagued by competition and power struggles and others that are firmly based in fruitful collaboration and mutual support; the results depend on both individuals and the way their energies combine (which may be related to their respective families of origin and their experiences during their formative years, among other things)

Segment 2 of a discussion about telluric frequency #10, personalized as a goddess whom we call Kamala, correlated with the Hindu Mahavidya of that name.
We discuss the concept of "passage of command," which is an area in which Kamala provides instruction, and talk about the correlated topic of the ethics of taking life (specifically the lives of animals, including human animals). (Respect for all forms of life, and appreciation of the intrinsic value of life, are of course appropriate, but do not preclude the taking of life.) What is the "responsibility to take life" and when would an individual or social group exercise it?
We also discuss the topic, related to this frequency, of "arachnid venom that kills and cures." Venom is a powerful type of organic chemical that can be used to injure or kill, or it can have a role in healing. Spiders and scorpions are types of venomous arachnids, and the Goddess (and especially her Kamala aspect) enjoys correlations with both of those animals.
Additionally, we talk about how Kamala provides guidance in matters of love, as well as the correlation of Kamala to a particular Zodiacal constellation and what that astronomical association signifies.

Segment 2 of 3 of Part 1 of the Sophianic Reading Club's (SRC's) discussion of independent study (IS) focuses on an article with the title [Independent Study](https://www.thoughtco.com/what-is-independent-study-1857517) by Grace Fleming. Since this article features some of the same main points as the article discussed in segment 1, our discussion of it is a big shorter.
The main purposes of this discussion are:
* Enhance our appreciation for IS and what it can do or us if we pursue it in an organized manner
* Consider potential downsides of IS in order to get a balanced view of it
* Critique and improve if possible the way in which the SRC's approach to individual and group learning accomplished via reading, watching the occasional video, and discussing points raised by presenters of information in the light of Sophianic teachings produces accelerated, focused learning
Ginny and Crooked Claw discuss with John why he thinks his version of Gnosticism has a particular and unique appeal to the world today.
Reference is made to Jackson Crawford teaching about and reciting Norse runes in this video: https://youtu.be/UmEBFDDpe2g
The passage on which Crawford expounds describes two shamans of the Nordic tradition, Odin (man) and Saga (woman), entering the Organic Light and drinking the elixir of life from the Grail.
Timecode 2m 5s: Stanza 7 Grimnismal, describing an initiation trance. "Svalar unnir," Crawford comments, is a stock runic phrase, meaning "cool waves." It's a common phrase in Nordic shamanic poetry, he says. The cool waves are the undulant ripples of the Organic Light that flow over the initiate in ecstatic cognition.
