Women of Sparta

Have you seen the “movie 300“? If you haven’t now may be a good time. The strength displayed in the movie was not far off from the actual truth. But what about the women of Sparta. What were they like? Well, I thought I would do a little research on who were they were, what made them different and what kind of strength they had? What you are about to discover will amaze you.Spartan Women

From infancy, girls were given almost the same treatment as the boys. In their society girls were as much a part of the Spartan strength as the boys. When a new Spartan was born she or he was given their first bath in wine. This was to detect the strength of the baby. If the baby was weak it would die soon after. If the baby lived, it was then taken to the council for a visual inspection so to speak, and yes, just like in the movie, if the baby was insufficient or had imperfections it was tossed over the cliff.

This was a very strong nation by choice, and although their actions may seem strange and harsh to us, it was these very actions that ensured the strength of their nation. In my eyes, the Spartan women had to have the strength of a bear on the inside. I mean, I would have jumped down the cliff after my child no matter what the deficiency was. But I’m a little crazy like that. I’m big on kids.

Exploring your beliefs

How can you be sure what you really believe in when there are so many things out there that are drawing your attention. It’s getting to the point were most of you are choosing to believe in nothing rather than believing in something. By my definition what you believe in at your very core, is why you exist. Take a moment to explore this with me, if we were to take out everything we have learned, what we should or shouldn’t believe in, and just leave it up to how we felt about something don’t you think our vibrations would raise to new heights? The very freedom you could feel and all because it is up to you how you feel about it. beliefs

I was raised Catholic, in a typical Catholic home, went to a typical Catholic grade school and none of it ever seemed right to me. I like the stories but to me that’s all they were. I knew there had to be more to all of this. Can you imagine living in a home where fire and brimstone, and heaven and hell were brought up as disciplinary actions on a constant basis, all the while knowing it just didn’t matter. It was scary enough but lets face it none of that would have changed what I was feeling. I some how knew that no matter what it was that they were going to do to me had any bearing on what I believed or who I was. It seemed to me that everything that our religion was based upon was about a higher power that was out there in the sky somewhere. Somewhere we could never even see or go to unless we gave up most of who we were. Now I ask you, if we are supposed to come here and be happy, then why do you suppose a higher power would ask us to do without, ask us to mask or be less than who we really are?
