Women’s Advancement A
young woman asked a question which Richard is often called upon to answer: How
can a woman, restricted to household chores and child-rearing, possibly
acquire the necessary skills and trades to obtain Mastership? Richard
answered, though many women seem to feel they have far less opportunity to
learn things than men, the reverse is true. Men are almost always specialists
in one trade or skill, while a woman who runs a household and cares for
children must become competent in numerous skills in order to fulfill her
function as homemaker. At the same time, her husband is most likely
concentrating on one particular thing, day in and day out—in fact, stagnation
can be a by-product of this kind of vocation. Women have, for the most part,
remained out of industry, and this has allowed them to become balanced more
readily than men. Because she functions in the milieu of her home, the woman
learns to be a psychologist, a nutritionist, a nurse, and accountant, a
seamstress and innumerable other skilled jobs. Richard
added that perhaps men have tried to make women think there is romance and
glamor connected with business outside the home, but most men are
wage-earners and not tycoons. In the Lemurian civilization a woman could not
work while she had dependent children, but she could work outside the home
before and after. Women make just as good engineers as men—some make better
doctors, and those who wish to do so, may enter the “mans” world. However,
Richard stressed, the first Egos to make Mastership on this planet did so in
a civilization which was not industrial, nor highly commercial. They learned
many things, such as how a gene is made, through insight. With heightened
mental perception acquired through the practice of the virtues, they
perceived the secrets of time, space, atomic structure and gravity—factors
which our modern scientists cannot as yet fully comprehend. Through
development of the virtues, one becomes clairvoyant and then has a direct
pipeline to what the truth is. (11-1970) |
