ISIS Amor, what a strange name! Well, yes and no, we think it makes a lot of sense. We did contemplate for many months other names, and even when we had a name finally picked out, after a year that changed too!
Originally, our name was Love IS Power. The idea was that women are usually represented as the "loving" half of a couple and men are represented by the "power" aspect. But we wanted to go beyond that men were power and women were love, because that was one of the issues we saw as causing conflict between men and women. Men could then be stereotyped into a role that they are only power, which is seen as the stronger over love, and then they could be seen as the ruler over the weaker half, who was just love.
So we got the idea that "Love IS Power and Power IS Love" reflected the equality of both genders. So we added the flash picture on the main page with the "Love IS Power" switching to "Power IS Love" which would be the name for our new movement—and the motto to help restore unity, peace and love between men and women.
But over time, we began to realize that IS describes God better than any word in our English language.
When God spoke to Moses in the burning bush, he was asked by Moses,"and what shall I say to them?" And the answer came, "Thus shall you say to the children of Israel, I AM has sent me to you." In revealing his mysterious name, YHWH ("I AM HE WHO IS", "I AM WHO AM" or "I AM THAT I AM").
And thus God IS. We also believe that God is beyond male and female qualities, as he is described in Revelation 1:8 "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
Alpha and Omega
In the Jewish tradition, Moses heard a voice from heaven describing God as merciful, of long-suffering, and full of goodness and truth. (Exodus 34:6) The mystics describe God as an infinitely pure spirit, Divine Will and Mind. Truth is believed to be derived from Mind and goodness from Will, and is believed to be the first perfection of God. Thus it is placed as the important word leading the
Jewish
sages to find in this word a
mystical
meaning.
The Hebrew word for truth is Emeth. It is composed of three letters: Aleph=Alpha, Mem=My, and Thaw=Theta. The
Aleph
and the
Thaw
are the first and last letters of the
Hebrew
alphabet
as the Alpha and Omegain Scripture are of the
Greek
. Thus the term Emeth (truth) begins with the first letter of the
alphabet
denoting God is the first of all things, and Thaw, or last letter, in like manner
signifies
that God is the last of all things.
There was no one before God of whom He could have received the fullness of truth. And likewise,
there will be no one after Him to whom He could
bequeath
it. Thus Emeth is a
sacred
word expressing that in God truth dwells absolutely and in all plenitude.
Looking at the Greek alphabet symbols of Alpha and Omega, we see in this above picture the symbology of Alpha Spirit releasing the out breath of God to create. The Omega Mater symbol below it representing the bringing together of the Alpha Spirit creative forces into form.
 Another way to look at God is in the Tai Chi symbol, as a symbol of no beginning and no ending. You see the flow of forces (Alpha and Omega) and the possibility of two halves of the whole representing union of two forces. Therefore, there are qualities of what we would call positive and negative, yin and yang, in and out, dark and light in God Being. It is not too far of a stretch from there to see that if we have these Divine polarities in the physical realm, that male and female are also Divine polarities of God. Thus God is a Divine Being of polarities that are inseparable and whole.
Worship of Isis
Returning to IS and its use to describe God, if there are two halves to the whole it would make sense that God IS but He is also a Divine polarity.
Would it not follow that God ISIS? And could it be that mankind has the ancient knowledge of IS as one half of this whole?
It is quite prevalent in the West to see God as masculine and call God "him". But there is the concept of a Divine Mother embracing many religious cultures. In Christianity the Mother of God is the mother of Jesus. In the East she is known as Kuan Yin, the Chinese Goddess of Mercy and Compassion. In Jewish tradition, the feminine aspect of God is called Shekhinah, literally "Divine Presence." In Hinduism she appears as Shakti, in Buddhism as Prajnaparamita, and in Egyptian tradition as Isis. In Greek mythology there is Pallas Athena, the goddess of wisdom. And in some texts of the Old Testament and Apocrypha, the feminine aspect of the divine is called Wisdom, just as the Christian gnostics called her Sophia or Pistis Sophia (meaning "Faith-Wisdom"). There are goddesses of spring and of light. The earth and nature are called "Mother" as mother is the giver of life.
Looking back in history, the closest we find to understanding ISIS is in the ancient Egyptian cult of Isis. In the Book of the Dead,* Isis was described as She who gives birth to heaven and earth, knows the orphan, knows the widow, seeks justice for the poor, and shelter for the weak. Isis was worshipped throughout Egypt, even from very early dates and she was considered to the patron saint of women, mothers and children. The goddess Isis was the first daughter of Geb, god of the Earth, and Nut, the goddess of the Overarching Sky. Isis was born on the first day between the first years of creation, and was adored by her human followers.
Unlike the other Egyptian goddesses, the goddess Isis spent time among her people, teaching women how to grind corn and make bread, spin flax and weave cloth, and how to tame men enough to live with them. She taught her people the skills of reading and agriculture and was worshipped as the goddess of medicine and wisdom.
During the formative centuries of Christianity, the religion of Isis drew converts from every corner of the Roman Empire. In Italy itself, the Egyptian faith was a dominant force. In Rome, temples were built and obelisks erected in her honor. In Greece, traditional centers of worship in Delos, Delphi, and Eleusis were taken over by followers of Isis, and this occurred in northern Greece and Athens as well. Harbors of Isis were to be found on the Arabian Sea and the Black Sea. Inscriptions show followers in Gaul, Spain, Pannonia, Germany, Arabia, Asia Minor, Portugal and many shrines even in Britain.
Notice the headdress of Isis. If you turn the symbol of Alpha and Omega upside down it appears to be the same shape, an A with a circle beneath it. Could there be some significance?
Other Goddesses 
Prior to the cult of Isis was Pallas Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, war, strategy, industry, justice and skill. She is the virgin patron of Athens. The Athenians built the Parthenon, on the Acropolis of her namesake city, Athens, in her honor.
The Hindus have
many goddesses, but they all stem from the feminine Shakti, the primal stirring of pure awareness that gives rise to existence. The masculine force is pure awareness and is static, transcendent, peaceful, unmoving, and unchanging. The Shakti feminine is dynamic energy, immanent, love, and perpetually moving and changing.
The sum total of all the energy in existence and the will to direct it is Shakti. Every God in Hinduism has his Shakti and without Her energy they have no power. The play of female energy has no beginning and no end. Although restless by nature, it cycles through periods of rest and motion.
The most fearsome of the Hindu goddesses is Kali. She is the goddess of death. However, She brings the death of the ego as the delusional self-centered view of reality and the slayer of demons. Kali is said to be the mysterious source of life, the very soil, all-creating and all consuming.
She is the Mother Kali fighting for her children's freedom from darkness.
God as ISIS
The sacred exchanging of energy that is God ISIS flows from Spirit IS to Matter IS, and then back again. Matter (the material cosmos) can symbolically represent the womb of the Mother. The Mother anchors the energies released from Spirit (Father) into Matter (Mother). She brings the formlessness of Spirit into form.
Since man is in Matter, the Divine feminine becomes very important to express in man and woman and we need both Mother and Father for wholeness and balance.
Long, long time ago, there is the legend of Lemuria, Mu, for short, the Mother land. It was said the
continent was devoted to the Mother principal of God and that there were 12 major shrines that surrounded a central shrine or Temple to the Mother. There the Mother flame was honored and worshipped and the land and people prospered. But darkness began to invade the land and temples and the people turned to misusing the Light of the Mother for destructive purposes. Eventually, the land was was desecrated, along with her people, that caused violent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, sinking the entire continent.
We cannot live without Father Spirit, giving us life and breath. But can we live without Mother either? Man has been drawn to the Mother in all ages, and the worship of her as the giver of Life, Wisdom, Purity and Truth. When we raise her up, cultures flourish and people prosper. When she is torn down, lands and people fall to low levels and even beneath the sea.
We must restore women to the equality of Mother and the Mother Light, the Divine Polarity to Father God in Spirit. And likewise, the Divine Feminine principal in both men and women is within each. Just as the Father resides as Spirit within both male and female, so too, resides Mother waiting to be raised up to meet Father in the heart.
Amor
Amor is short for "a more" and the Latin word for love "amor". And why we chose it, for its double powerful meaning. The word has come to mean to many of us God's gift to us. After God created us in Spirit, he blew life and his Spirit into us and then sent us out into the matter planes with that breath of life and the words "Now go Be More!"
So we gave this mission the name of Father Mother God (ISIS) Love (Amor) we will Be, more we will return back to Spirit.
*Book of the Dead is the common name for ancient Egyptian funerary texts known as The Book of Coming or Going Forth By Day. The name "Book of the Dead" was the invention of the German Egyptologist Karl Richard Lepsius, who published a selection of some texts in 1842.
