whereas motherhood, mothers, and mothering hardly ever get recognition, funding, or monuments built in their honor.
Below are a dozen reasons why motherhood is so VITAL!
1. From the heart, mothers tirelessly commit their lives to their offspring and family.
2.Mothers create a beautiful, safe home environment for the whole family.
3.Mothers are devoted to nurturing and nourishing their offspring, which
enables them to grow and develop properly.
4.Mothers make many sacrifices and work hard (with no pay) for the health, well-being, and betterment of their offspring and family.
5. Mothers protect their offspring, help keep them safe, and teach them survival methods.
6.Mothers discipline and guide their offspring in the right direction
7. Mothers are the emotional backbone of their offspring and families.
8. Mothers lift the spirit of and encourage their offspring when they are down and make the best of friends.
9.Mothers spend a lifetime educating, worrying, and caring about their offspring.
10.Mothers inspire and support their offspring to fulfill their dreams.
11.Mothers are role models for their offspring.
12.Mothers love their offspring unconditionally.
How a culture nourishes its children and values motherhood determines what each future generation will be like. The role of motherhood encompasses a tremendous responsibility that needs to be taken seriously with more attention than just celebrating Mother’s Day once a year.
In Nature, including Mother Earth, everything has a balance of feminine and masculine energy. Energy balance is explained in the I-Theory, by His Holiness Swami Isa. Through his IVPT Trust, he is revolutionizing education with his Education for Total Consciousness pilot program that honors traditional values.
Motherhood should always be highly valued and treated with respect 24/7, all year. The feminine energy from motherhood mastery is vital because the next generation and humanity depend on it for survival. It is a necessary part of every aspect of life, including reproduction.
Future generations, a better world, and the survival of our species depend on how well each of us values and respects the vital role of Motherhood Mastery.
Bringing truth to light is the only way to address the cause and, in turn, find solutions.
We are no different from anything else in Nature. Thus, if you pollute the soil, you produce diseased and sickly crops, unable to nourish or reproduce. Polluted foods contain harmful chemicals and little nutrition. If you pollute a child, the same thing happens.
Nourish your child or children with what Mother Nature has blessed us with. For every junk food, there is usually a healthy alternative. Strong, healthy people make strong, healthy, happy families. Strong, healthy, happy families make strong, healthy happy, productive nations.
Mothers and grandmothers are special, important people because the next generation depends on them for nourishment, care, and survival. Learn the Mastery of Motherhood, vital for the survival and well-being of yourself, your children and family, and future generations. If you choose to become a mother, take the responsibility of Motherhood Mastery seriously and stay in harmony with Mother Nature.
I think we can learn a lot from Native Americans, especially the Hopi and Iroquois, who highly value the role of women and the Mastery of Motherhood.
Below is an excerpt from wikipedia:
The Iroquois Confederacy or League, combining five to six Native American Haudenosaunee nations or tribes before the U.S. became a nation, operated by The Great Binding Law of Peace, a constitution by which women participated in the League's political decision-making, including deciding whether to proceed to war,[96] through what may have been a matriarchy[97] or gyneocracy.[98] According to Doug George-Kanentiio, in this society, mothers exercise central moral and political roles.[99] The dates of this constitution's operation are unknown; the League was formed in approximately 1000–1450, but the constitution was oral until written in about 1880.[100] The League still exists.
George-Kanentiio explains:
In our society, women are the center of all things. Nature, we believe, has given women the ability to create; therefore, it is only natural that women be in positions of power to protect this function… We traced our clans through women; a child born into the world assumed the clan membership of its mother. Our young women were expected to be physically strong… The young women received formal instruction in traditional planting…
Since the Iroquois depended on the crops they grew, whoever controlled this vital activity wielded great power within our communities. It was our belief that since women were the givers of life, they naturally regulated the feeding of our people… In all countries, real wealth stems from the control of land and its resources.
Our Iroquois philosophers knew this as well as we knew natural law. To us, it made sense for women to control the land since they were far more sensitive to the rhythms of Mother Earth. We did not own the land but were custodians of it. Our women decided any and all issues involving territory, including where a community was to be built and how the land was to be used… In our political system, we mandated full equality. Our leaders were selected by a caucus of women before the appointments were subject to popular review… Our traditional governments are composed of an equal number of men and women.
The men are chiefs and the women clan-mothers… As leaders, the women closely monitor the actions of the men and retain the right to veto any law they deem inappropriate… Our women not only hold the reins of political and economic power, but they also have the right to determine all issues involving the taking of human life. Declarations of war had to be approved by the women, while treaties of peace were subject to their deliberations.[99]
