Did you know that every issue of women’s liberation magazine, Spare Rib, is available to read online for free? https://t.co/l8qyDILTRa

Although I would not call her the world’s oldest icon of feminism, I did not know about Gargi, renowned Brahmavadini of the lineage of sage Garga (c. 800-500 BCE), before today. She was also an accomplished composer, and a poet. #herstories

[Clio's Chronicles @CliosChronicles]

The World's Oldest Icon Of Feminism

Gargi was one of the first woman scholar of the world. She is known as Brahmavadini, a person with knowledge of Brahma Vidya.

She had even awakened her Kundalini (spiritual energy) and realized Atma (soul).

Somifeminism is built upon the belief that a consciousness re-education of humanity, or deconditioning from egoic suffering, is the key to lasting liberation from patriarchy. Rather than fighting individual, ever-changing, political currents, this is instead a radical workaround.

“Sometimes we live in relationship potentiality instead of actuality, seeking to perfect a not-so-perfect other.”

- I. V-Swartz, “The Yoga of Relationships: Non-Duality in Life”

Somifeminism could be called an actuality feminism; it portents liberation can exist in the present.

@anticivradfem I will look into it thank you. :)

[Somifeminism ❍ @josthorns]

Please recommend to me female consciousness guides. From any faith or discipline or none.

[Somifeminism ❍ @josthorns]

Here is a critical example, noting philosophical roadblocks for widespread feminist uptake of non-duality, yet offers little explanation of its potential as an alternative radical feminism. Instead, it looks at (imo,less potent) crossovers w/ ecofeminism.

I am currently in the process of developing somifeminism - non-duality feminism - meanwhile, I have found examples of other feminists sensing the potential that non-dualism holds against patriarchy, without being able to grasp why.

A laywoman’s example:

Cynical, rather than sceptical even.

[Somifeminism ❍ @josthorns]

Feeling deeply sceptical that by removing #sexnotgender from my bio, Twitter has suddenly reinstated monetisation on my account.

I still believe that patriarchal oppression occurs on the basis of sex. That is why I want to see humankind grow the consciousness of non-duality.

[Somifeminism ❍ @josthorns]

To be clear, this has nothing to do w/ performative gender. Non-duality is not non-binary! It means releasing the egoic connection to our sex, which is a root cause of pain for both women & men. It means conscious deconditioning from the exaggeration of difference; transcendence.

[Somifeminism ❍ @josthorns]

I am giving this an easily understood western name as well.

Non-duality feminism.

It understands that patriarchy is dependent on the egoic exaggeration of difference. It seeks to break this cycle by conjoining feminism with the consciousness revolution.

[Somifeminism ❍ @josthorns]

I might have just coined a new word. “Somifeminism”.

Somi* (Indo European): to (self-)reconcile, to become one.

[Somifeminism ❍ @josthorns]

I no longer use this app to check what is going on. I will be here when I have something to say.

Time is precious. It is not noble to bear witness to daily horror,or be slave to analysing every transient political shift.

Conserve your energy for making change. No one else will.

@321_cheese It indicates the tendency towards pure consciousness found in many religions, and ages. Such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism or even New Thought. It is the dissolution of the notion of separateness.

I believe this simple philosophy can be swiftly applied for feminist purposes.

This account is going to start tweeting more on the philosophies and energies of love, as well as about growth of consciousness.

Not only feminist consciousness, but also self-loving consciousness, because I do not believe human liberation from patriarchy will come without this.
