Call Me Abar or Call Me Eve

Lula Hall

Description

The subject of this book is best reflected in the prologue of Lucia Chiavola Birnbaum book, “Dark Mother - African Origins and Godmothers.” On page 25 of her book she writes:
The hypothesis of this book is that everyone’s genetic beautiful mother is African and dark and that she is the oldest divinity we know.
Now the consensus among world scientists is that Africa is the cradle of the most ancient living beings that paleo-anthropologists are willing to call homo, and that Africa is the place of origin of modern humans, homo sapiens.
The subject of this book is global in scope. It examines how religions such as Christianity and Islam were negatively used to deny women their rights and impede their progress socially, economically, politically, and educationally. Western and Arab countries have been the main culprits for injustices done to women. Africa has been devastated because of the negative influences of Islam and Christianity on the continent. The misogynic expressions that men have developed are, in large part, due to the misuse of Islam and Christianity.
Women in all parts of the world are awakening to a new dawn of the truth. Women who read this book may, at first, see it as male bashing. However, a closer scrutiny will reveal that the issues raised in this book cannot continue to be ignored by either women or men.
This is also a commentary about the biblical Eve and the scientific Abar. They are compatible in geographical location of origin and race. As far a as I am concerned, they are.

The best thing a woman can do for herself is not to think and act like a man.
Lula Hall
The anxiety and frustration of tackling women’s issues has taken its toll on our gender. Women have been the object of subjugation for too long. Frustration and bewilderment have taken its toll on the feminine psychic to the point of my reckless fantasizing in writing this book. This realm of make-believe took me to an unknown dimension that I never thought would be possible to visualize. The power of imagination engulfed me. Suddenly, I was in an unknown dimension of time. It seems as though all knowledge was possible to attain.
Without hesitation, I sought the dimension that contained the knowledge of the female gender. As I approached this dimension, the sign above it stated that in order to obtain this special knowledge, a plea must be made to the keeper of this knowledge before one can receive it. I thought: Who would be the keeper of knowledge for the female gender? Suddenly, it occurred to me that Eve would be the keeper of all knowledge for women. Before I began my plea, Eve stated that, in order for me to receive the full spectrum of knowledge that I requested, we would have the position ourselves in the universe between the entities (past and future) so that women of the past, present and future can observe our conversation. I began my plea by asking several questions:
 
1.
Is it because of your decision that our gender has been plagued with ignorance and subjugation for a long time?
Answer:
My sister of a distant time - Certainly by now you must realize that my decision did not preclude the markings of our gender nor did it reflect any weaknesses of our gender. It was simply a manifestation of my innocence and immaturity. I am profoundly aware of how I am portrayed.
2.
Is your decision to the scorned and belittled by future generations?
Answer:
No! Emphatically no! - My decision to encourage Adam to disobey the orders of our Creator is not to be the reproach of the foolish.
3.
Did you realize the magnitude of your being when you were first created?
Answer:
At first no, because of my influence by Satan. Satan is a master at planting seeds of doubt. Satan is a master of the power of suggestion. Satan knew we were immature emotionally. Satan knew humans possess a basic curiosity. Satan hit us at the right time because Satan is a master of timing of human behavior. Because of Satan’s influence, Adam, and I added our own immature interpretation to the Creator’s command. We interpreted the command as something material or tangible rather than a choice of good and evil. Since we were created as adults, we were not mentally mature enough to make tough decisions. Satan took advantage of us. As you know, Satan capitalized on our innocence and immaturity. Adam gave in to me without a fight. Adam had the moral power of attorney over me and himself, but he chose to forfeit his authority. Satan knows that immaturity breeds ignorance and contempt.
4.
Did you realize at first that the personhood of a woman transcends her gender?
Answer:
No. I did not realize that the Creator had endowed me with great reservoirs of wisdom and knowledge . I was gifted with a sophisticated balancing act that would allow me to respond properly as a wife, mother and career orientations. The inclusions of wisdom and knowledge are the catalyst that enhances self-esteem. This helps women understand the sanctity and the reality of our Creator and the substance of our being.
5.
Did the Creator establish an equality of status between you and Adam?
Answer:
Yes there was an equality of status established by the Creator . We equally shared the Creator’s image, and together we were to exercise dominion over His Creation. Part of our human mandate was to be totally and equally responsible for establishing knowledge, justice, and leadership for the human race. As I have stated previously, Adam’s and my immaturity faltered the proper knowledge that would have propelled the human race into complete harmony with the Creator. Therefore, ignorance is still taking its toll on the human race.
6.
This is some discussion about the order you and Adam’s creation. Does this matter?
Answer:
Yes , as far as the male gender has the edge in leadership. When I was placed in the Garden, I was created to be the crown f Creation. My being a woman was the idyllic setting in this beautiful and abundant garden. There is no need to ponder numerical settings or placement for our creation.
7.
How did you perceive Adam?
Answer:
Adam’s anticipation of his companion caused him to become over anxious
