Summary/Abstract: The present paper focuses on searching for a comprehensive definition of the “Great Feminine Governance” and “The Age of the Holy Spirit” paradigm. In addition, it attempts to make an approach on some of their features, such as there are connected to concepts of ”power” and ”authority” that can be re-defined in a completely new manner. The Age of Holy Spirit is the Era of the Great Change, when human beings become aware of exploiting and discriminatory, unjust effects (for the freedom of women) of insisting on believing in a patriarchal-imperial type of system. It is an Era of moving towards alternative models of human society organization, based on perspectives that have abandoned the imperial-patriarchal old vision about the world, about human being and about God. The pattern of Absolute Father, as “absolute patriarch/tyrant”, Who wants only a perfect obedience and Who is isolated from His Creation (a hypothetical divine attitude, from which derives the schizoid, fragmented lifestyle of humans, such as living in a continuous “state of a generalized war”) becomes obsolete, being replaced with visionary and creative, fertile and positive conceptions about the world, about the relation God-mankind and with new types of gender relations. The article focuses on analysing the transfer from the model of a punishing and banishing divinity, to a divinity of inspiration, forgiveness and universal peace.
