Sublime Feminine Intelligence

What are the qualities of people who embody sublime feminine intelligence, as I aspire to do?

• They are lovers of equality; activists committed to social and economic justice; in service to people who are from disadvantaged backgrounds; excited to protect and preserve the health of the natural world; passionate about diminishing militarism, plutocracy, bigotry, misogyny, and racism.

• They believe that no one is free unless we all are free; that the supreme goal is to reduce suffering and increase joy.

• They prize their understanding of the interconnectedness of all things.
• Listening well is a quality they value.

• They are willing to expand and adjust their understandings of the world if they encounter new information that reveals their previous beliefs are obsolete or too narrow.

• They consider the needs of as many people as possible, not just the needs of their immediate family, community, and network of allies.

• They are emotionally intelligent. They understand it’s as crucial to develop a savvy relationship with our feelings as it is to be intellectually smart.

• They regard relationship as a crucible for spiritual work.

• They regard practical expressions of kindness and compassion and ethical behavior as sacred practices that are at the core of spiritual work.
• They proceed as if loving and caring for animals and plants and the earth is a prime test of our spiritual intentions.

• They understand that to accomplish practical changes that serve the greatest good requires hard work in the trenches of political struggle, often having to deal with people who have different beliefs.

• They are nuanced, not simplistic; respect dialog more than authoritative pronouncements; seek consensus, not doctrinaire obeisance; understand that perfectionism is often the enemy of the good.

• Love is their highest priority, their go-to motivation.





PRESIDENT OF MEXICO, CLAUDIA SHEINBAUM

In the US, the supreme leader is a felon, liar, misogynist, bigot, oligarch, fascist, rapist, theocrat, psychopath, and person of very low intelligence.

Meanwhile, in Mexico, they have the embodiment of Sublime Feminine Intelligence as head of state — PhD energy engineer, climate advocate, LGBTQ champion, mother, and feminist President Claudia Sheinbaum. In 2024, she was elected in a landslide victory, defeating a woman who was the other main candidate.

On March 9, 2025, President Sheinbaum led a traditional Indigenous cleansing ceremony. It was a powerful statement that merged ancestral wisdom with modern governance in ways that would have been unimaginable a generation ago.

PS: A few crabby people tell me that President Claudia Sheinbaum isn’t perfect. Of course I know she’s not perfect. Breaking news: No one is. No politician aligns exactly with every one of our high ideals — EVER. Even Bernie Sanders, whom I love, doesn’t match all my values.

But President Sheinbaum is the closest we have anywhere in the world to a progressive leader who cares about women’s rights, LGBTQ rights, Indigenous rights, the stain of colonialism, the necessity of government support for economically disadvantaged people, and most other important leftist values.
