Dear friends!
The
Divine Mother has asked me to write this, and this
message has been “cooking” for a while now, while holding its creation gently
in my heart. It needed some time to be born like a child – although it is about the Goddess, the Great Divine
Mother.
She
has many aspects and is recognized on many levels.
You
might have already observed that I always like to go to the bottom and heart of
things and never can just remain on the surface of them. I need to understand
the totality of everything that touches my life.
This
has brought me often in even dangerous situations, even life-threatening.
But
here still I am, as from every depths into which I have been diving down, I have returned stronger.
And
so regarding the Divine Mother, I also needed to understand and know her – as
much as I am able to. However I am convinced that She is absolutely
unfathomable.
For
me knowing is not just a looking at something, to fabricate my own picture of
it, but it is rather an assimilation
with my whole being of a something that I want to understand – again, as much
as I am able to. To do this I must become in a way what I want to understand.
This requires passion, great love, devotion and worship. I must be willing to
expand and to go beyond myself, or better: the part of myself I am already
familiar with. Only then one can grasp the deeper nature of things.
But
in reality, we ARE all these things ourselves, because we can only become aware
of what is already part of our consciousness.
It only remains in the subconscious, until it becomes conscious.
And
so we are touching the real subject: everything is consciousness, WE ARE CONSCIOUSNESS!
How
then could the Great Goddess, the Divine Mother, only be a female figure with
gentle features and always nice and sweet? Always giving and nurturing? I
understand that this quality is the one, sorely needed in our world of a short
waved, judgmental, non-caring and solely demanding patriarchal system. And that
these female qualities are the ones
mankind must cultivate, to survive.
However
perceiving the Goddess as a mere “other” in female form is the surface the Mother wanted me to scratch on, because my experience of Her is much much more expansive and
all-encompassing.
That
sweet form is embodying only one quality of her, whereas she has many of them.
Yes, the Mother is always embracing, but her arms are much more powerful and
deep than the arms of the graciously depicted one.
These
powerful arms are not suffocating, as those who fear the Great Female might
believe. They are powerful because they widen your being into infinity and unspeakable
heights.
They
free your soul and open the horizons to That Which Lies Beyond the soul: the
Infinite Itself.
The
experience of the Mother is therefore Infinite Consciousness, equally paired
with Shakti, Divine Energy, some might call it kundalini. But it truly is
beyond this, kundalini is personal nervous energy, but Her Kundalini is
universal Kundalini, the Shakti of the worlds and universes Itself, not rising
from below but crashing down from infinitely above.
This
Shakti cannot be contained in a mere
gentle form. It is formless and takes on all forms. It is the consciousness of
all forms, and the consciousness in which all forms arise. It is the mover of the
microcosmos and the macrocosmos. It is intrinsic Life-Force, and the more we
separate ourselves the more we perceive this Universal Life-Force as something
outside of us, whereas this Conscious Life-Force manifests as everything,
including us.
So
in that sense the Mother is us, She contains our body-mind and the in it
encapsulated, brain-based individual consciousness. And She contains our Higher Self as
well!
Some
declare that Consciousness is male, but when we
come from the understanding of Unity of all things and beings, worlds
and universes, then the Great
Consciousness and the Great Shakti are One, they are the two sides of a coin, when we still think in terms of duality. But prior to that dividing
thinking, there is no difference between Consciousness and Energy. Energy is Conscious,
Consciousness is Energy.
Brain-consciousness
merely describes and dissociates from the described object. It is about
separation and fabricates something over against something else. Divine
Consciousness/Energy IS the thing Itself, appears AS It.
And
this is, what I call the Divine Mother, the Great Goddess! We must not reduce Her
to our counterpart from the point of
view of a limited self-concept.
She is always benign, it is the heart that can see this quality behind all facades which might appear to tell us otherwise, because She Is the substance of all.
She is always benign, it is the heart that can see this quality behind all facades which might appear to tell us otherwise, because She Is the substance of all.
She
only is fiery if this truth is denied, as she fights for Divine Truth to be
lived in all Manifestations.
If
we reduce the Goddess to a mere icon of gentle and beautiful femininity we
bereave Her of Her Gifts She wants to grant us:
To
transcend the idea of separate greatness. Without recognizing the very Source
of that greatness, which is Infinite, and which cannot be contained in separate
appearances, our greatness is never truly great.
Again
we are being lead back to the self-existence of Divine Consciousness or Energy Which Shines in the heart of all beings, humans, animals, gods and goddesses; in plants and
spirits, even in daemons, - if they are
devoted to the truth of this Reality. It is all a matter of devotion or
resistance. And so in this Divine Reality the form of the graceful, gentle, charming, beautiful goddess arises - as the most attractive form of Herself for incarnated
beings.
But
She desires that we even in this most feminine form recognize Her True Heart
and Power of Divinity. She wants to be seen as The One She Truly Is. She wants
all beings to rise up to Her Conscious Radiance and to be Happy!
She does not want us to restrict ourselves to certain merely feminine qualities and behaviors. She wants women to participate fully in Her Powers and men to be free of fear of Her and to recognize Her Powers in their own hearts.
She does not want us to restrict ourselves to certain merely feminine qualities and behaviors. She wants women to participate fully in Her Powers and men to be free of fear of Her and to recognize Her Powers in their own hearts.
She
Is no sex object in Her Feminine Form, but She is the Conscious Force of
non-separateness in the heart of male and female to be united. It is the united,
infinite heart that celebrates Divine Communion with Her. And She wishes that all actions are ascribed to Her, because
She desires our happiness.
In
Her Presence all left-brain separateness is melting and males become females,
because in this process they start to receive Her Shakti from above. It is therefore said in the
ancient sacred scriptures, that before the Great Goddess all men are female,
even the Gods!
Again
we are laid back to the mysteries of Divine
Consciousness, which we ultimately all are, women and men. But not by
thinking and imagining It, but by literally realizing It, becoming It, becoming
One with It. Our bodies are a mere play in this Vast Consciousness and Radiant
Energy, which we are called to go beyond.
I
am aware that we all need our “toys” we came here to play with. And if one of
them is the domesticated charming goddess, that’s wonderful too.
But
lets not forget What she stands for in her attractiveness: She is a call to reach out for the Great Divine Mother and
Source, in Which we all, she and us, inhere. Her Attractiveness transcends all and is Pure Radiance Itself.
With
great love,
Ute
