Welcome to... the Voice of Zeb and Zarna-Young Twin Souls Livinng in a Difficult Time

I know that young men have their own struggles with self-reliance and need support. I give it gladly. We live in a hard world in difficult time. But since women have been suppressed for several thousand of years, our biggest problem that should be tackled first worldwide is the acceptance of women as equals. This can not fully happen until women take their place in society having achieved an adequate share of self-reliance and personal sovereignty. Practical tips on how to achieve this is the subject of the chapter on Self Love in our soon to be released e-book, “The Power of Love.” We will only touch on the subject here.

I mention this because most women at this time who incarnate into a western society have a life theme that includes working toward self-reliance. This does not mean a lifetime living alone, but it does mean taking care of yourself and possibly, if you are a single mother, any children you may have and making your own way.

Caryl’s Views on Marriage

Some have accused me of being against marriage. I am not. I am against any relationship bonds that restrict one’s freedom to experience--the freedom to be and experience all that you can be, all that you want to be, whether you are a man or a woman. Sometimes this is hard to achieve within a relationship.

On the other hand, a good relationship can actually make the learning process easier if there is support between partners in whatever they choose to pursue. If you are in a relationship that is based on spiritual principles where together you create an environment that is conducive to spiritual growth this relationship is a spiritual refuge.

So I am not against marriage. I simply believe that often marriage is entered into when “clear thinking” is masked by physical needs. In some cultures young marriages are encouraged when neither partner is ready. The result is lifetime obligations that are not good for either one of them with little recourse but to live with it.

Here is a quote from Zarna that appears in the Power of Love e-book soon to be released.

"Your mate is not yours. Each individual has their own charted destiny, will and desires. Spiritual unions are for providing safe havens for soul development. This can not occur in an atmosphere of restriction. Embracing the Power of Love provides an environment of freedom for those you love. God gives you free will. Why would you control the will of another? This completes the foundation cycle of the Twin Soul Spirituality or "The Goddess Principle."

Because young people come to me with these issues, I began wondering just what it was like in ancient times. I wanted to know what it was like for women during the time of the Moon Temple in ancient Egypt. I wondered how much we have changed. Were we set on the same path of self-sovereignty then as we are now?

How Mel and I Work Together

Mel and I work together and whatever topic of interest has been recently brought to our awareness is usually put on our running list of questions to ask during the next formal channeling. With the topic we are now discussing, I did not wait for the next channeling with Mel but went straight to Teenot—my former self from thousands of years ago—Maythr’s feminine counterpart.

Sometimes our [mine and Mel’s] awareness as channelers is not as you might think. Where it is true that Mel’s channel is very direct and any question can be asked, sometimes there are questions that we do not think to ask.

Zeb and Zarna rarely preach, but rather instruct on those things that are unclear to us. Within the course of any of the channeling sessions if they (Zeb and Zarna) feel that our grasp of the topic being discussed is lacking they do not hesitate to “set us straight.”

But sometimes an awareness of a reality comes in bits and pieces, not through channeling during a formal session but in a sense of knowing. I am sure this awareness is brought to me by those who I can and have channeled, by getting through to me in other ways that I am not consciously aware of at that moment.

Focus of the Website and why it is so Important

If you have read the content on this site you know that the information is focused toward spiritual maturity, and what Twin Souls are really all about. Along with this we try to impress upon all who ask the importance of embracing your natural talents and working toward your personal sovereignty whether you are male or female. For the feminine gender an intuitive ability and inner connection is more natural to you. Strengthening your masculine aspect will most likely be your goal to work toward in this life. For men, it is just the opposite. They must strengthen their ability to go within and use their intuitive nature which is harder for them to access.

I know you have heard me mention time an again the importance of the feminine gender taking their rightful place in society. But in our world it is difficult because of thousands of years of masculine domination. If you look at the countries in our world where there is the greatest strife and economic deprivation, you will find women who are bound by cultural restrictions. This keeps that society repressed although they probably would not see this as the cause.

“Humanity” cannot expect any group in society to flourish when fifty percent of its creative resources are restricted.

I use the word “Humanity” because its root is “humane.” You can be of the human species and not have achieved a level of humanity. A humane attitude requires a mindset of compassion and understanding that is beyond just being a member of the human species.

So, I hear you saying, what does this have to do with helping young people stay on their charted path?

There are imbalances within any culture. An imbalance between the masculine and feminine in either direction produces unfortunate results. So I thought it would be interesting to have a perspective from Teenot and Maythr about gender relationships in that ancient time, (not as taught by our social scientists today but from the viewpoint of those who lived it.) This was before pressures began to change the goddess culture into practices that were far from what the Akanars taught at the Moon Temple.

From Teenot’s Perspective

Teenot was High Priestess and Maythr was High Priest at the time of the Valley of the Moon Temple. Thousands of years ago this culture related to women very differently. Women were often sheltered and cared for, but sheltered because they were valued not to hide them away. As women, there was less need for them to prove themselves or their abilities. Women were accepted and respected for what they were--the mothers and producers of the next generation—the creative source of the community. According to Maythr, living conditions were very primitive and women and men performed tasks that we would call today, “gender appropriate.”

Respect of the Genders

Women’s intuitive nature and abilities of inner-sight were admired and called upon to help guide the family and community. Men’s intellect and physical strength were respected. Together men and women stood side by side, each knowing that physical life without the other would be difficult. This was the norm, until zealots of the One God faction, desiring total control and power, wished to destroy this balance.

Unlike today, women did not have to complete with men, nor did they have to be approved by men. Each gender was approved by all. In these primitive times, it was understood that only by working together could the community survive. These were harsh times when there was little defense against the elements. Survival hung on mutual respect.

Life at the Temple

I also asked Teenot to describe her time at the Temple of the Valley of the Moon and learned that she was the leader of the Temple and the administrator of its activities.

This Temple was not a convent of just women. It was “pre-isian.” In other words, what was taught there was the precursor to the Isis worship that came later. The temple was open to both genders and no one was ever turned away. Men functioned as Guardians and roles more fitting to their strength and gender. The Temple served as the community center of bustling activity. Healing and teaching of the children was a major function of the Goddesses at the Temple even though the community had a shaman healing class that functioned separately. One of our present-day ZZ Healing group members is such a shaman in the community near the temple.

One of the roles of the Temple was to function similar to orphanages of our past generations. When children were without parents they were often taken into the Temple.

The temple was self-sustaining and provided for the needs of hundreds of people who lived within its compound. It also provided many of the needs for the community—like clean water. It was a huge operation that was ran and managed primarily by one woman, Teenot.

Did she get help?

Absolutely.

The Temple Guardians and Priests helped with the administration of the temple. There were four Orders of the Temple Guards, just as there were Four Orders of the Goddesses. They were run separately. And living quarters for men and women were also separate.

The vision I was given of this time was of women who were very confident of themselves and their place in society. They did not need to complete with men as so many women try to do in this age.

This was especially true of the Goddesses who lived in the temple. It should be made clear, if I have not already made it so, that life during this time was difficult for most. According to Maythr, only the very privileged held title to land. Life for many was a struggle; however, as a whole in this early time women were seen differently than in our recent past. In patriarchal societies, where the men controlled the women, women were often considered possessions and in many cultures ranked little more than their animals. Unfortunately, in some places this attitude still exists.

So in comparing the present western society to the time of the Moon Temple we have some real opposites.

Each woman today has charted a personal course towards balance. This charted plan is part of the evolutionary divine plan that is destined to make us a “humane” race of true equality and balance.

As spiritually evolved men and women we still have much to accomplish. The young adults of today will encounter situations that will require them to face the challenges of making a living, taking care of their children, and standing up for women’s rights as equal citizens of our society. It will not be easy, especially for those who are destined to challenge the authority of Patriarchal control. I am speaking here of both males and females.

But this equality must be earned. Often there is a series of hard lessons and even “handicaps that we have placed in our paths to strengthen our will.

Life is not easy for those who have decided to incarnate at this time. I have two daughters, each facing their quest for independence in a different way. If you knew them you would think of them as completely opposite. And they are in some respects. However, they have charted to overcome the same hurdles but they are approaching it in different ways.

So my loving young friends do not despair. You are not alone. And you are not without guidance when it comes to making your choices. You must be courageous, diligent. Persevere and you will succeed.

With love, Always,
Caryl, of Melvyn Caryl

Most who contact me are different from the average young woman in that a spiritual life is important to them at a very young age. Most young people don’t start thinking in terms of spirituality—at least in a serious sense--until much later when they become aware enough to begin to think about the “meaning of life.” However, the young goddesses who contact me (and some who are not so young) have usually been connected in spirit for some time, yet can’t quite balance their need for a spiritual life with their needs in physical life. There are so many things to balance at this time in a young person’s life, education and working toward independences being the most important (and probably most difficult.) At a time when they are most virile, romantic relationships often distract or sidetrack a young person’s education. I am not against relationships, but often when they engage in a living arrangement that gives them needed companionship, their goals of self-reliance fly right out the window in the name of love.
