The Feminine Face of God......Our Divine Mother
The Supreme Deity of many religions is
spouseless. Have you noticed? They espouse that we are all children of God,
which in truth we are. Yet I ask, is
a father able to give birth to his offspring? How can there be children without
a mother? This seems to defy the laws of nature.
In order to know your Self, the
essence of who you are, it is important to grasp that there is also a Mother
aspect of God. To understand how the male and female aspects of God operate and
co-exist you will not have to venture very far from ordinary human life to glean
your first clues.
As above so
below,
this is The Law that governs our Universe.
Everything in life is cyclical. The
tides ebb and flow. The seasons change with exact precision. Everything that
rises must also fall. You have an in-breath and an out-breath. Fortunately,
there is a natural rhythm and order to our universe. Have you noticed this?
What does this have to do with our
Father and our Mother God? Everything! The Father aspect of God is about
expansion. The Father is the joyful giver of life. The Mother aspect of God is
about contraction, restriction, focus, discipline. She is about holding back.
When you sit on the seashore and watch the waves roll in - this is the face of
our Father. As the waves recede - this is the face of our Mother.
As the moon wanes each month
decreasing in light and approaching the day of the new moon, this is a time of
contraction. Our Mother draws closer to our Father. This cycle is the time
to go within, to be subjective, to clean house. This is not the time to
start new projects. If you do, you go against the natural rhythm and flow of
life. You will find it more difficult to see your projects through to fruition.
This is not the time to be signing contracts or initiating anything.
The last three days just prior to the
new moon are known as the dark of the moon. Anything initiated here
will not come to fruition as you had planned. This period is the most
potent time of the month to banish, to let go, to clear and to clean. I am
speaking of cleansing on every level: spiritual, mental, emotional, and
physical.
Each month on the new moon we have a
fresh start. This is when our Father and our Mother God,
symbolized by our physical
sun and moon, are at one in the heavens. Our Celestial Parent, our
Mother, on the new moon drinks of our Father's light:
His knowledge and His ideas. The seeds of His light are now planted
in Her womb on this day of new beginnings.
While the moon waxes, increasing in
His light now is the time to be objective, extroverted, to set about nurturing
what has been planted on the new moon. Here you sign your contracts
while all rhythms are on an upswing. Now is the time for expansion. Now is the
time to initiate new projects and fertilize the ones previously begun. All
of this activity culminates in celebration at the full moon when our Mother is
filled to the brim with our Father's light, knowledge and ideas. Our
Father is pure idea. Our Mother sets about to bring these ideas to fruition,
into manifestation.
This Cosmic Dance is
symbolized each month by the
cycles between the Sun and the Moon in our system. It also occurs right within
ourselves whether we realize it or not, and even whether we believe it or
not. After all, aren't we a microcosm of the macrocosm? Yes, of course we
are. This is but one of the natural rhythms of life, it is a symbolic reminder.
Our Celestial Mother is the one that
Father listens to, as to the timing and manifesting of Their child's (us)
heartfelt desires. Here again this is symbolized in the role of the mother in a
physical family. She cares for you, her child, and out of great love and
wisdom does not give you everything you want when you want it. She is the
One who causes physical manifestation to occur – mater, matter is
Mother. She IS all manifested reality, and much, much more.
When we are feeling constrained,
restricted and held back it is the Mother aspect of God, in all Her glorious
wisdom that is holding us back. She says to our Father, "No, not yet. It is not
yet time to fulfill this desire of our child. He/she must grow yet fuller.
The time is not now." Our Father in His great love, wisdom, respect and
adoration of our Mother listens to Her.
It is important to understand and to
be on good terms with our Mother, for She rules the cycles of life. When
you learn to honor the natural rhythms of life you honor Her as well. Call
to Her. Develop a relationship with Her, for nothing is made manifest except
through Her. Mater, matter
is
Mother!
She, by the way, is the rising force
on this planet. A Golden Age is in the process of being birthed.
This new life is filled with Her beauty and grace, with Her gentleness, sweetness,
kindness, peace and profound, supernal love. As we awake and become more
of Her in our everyday affairs, we are as midwives
assisting in the birth of our new earth.
Our Mother smiles sweetly, and with
open arms and eternal patience awaits our return home.
God Bless your dear, sweet hearts this
Mother's Day.
