May I muse upon the Divine Mother for a moment? There’s no subject I enjoy writing about more.
There is? Oh, OK: love, which is the Divine Mother’s essence. (1)
Remember Janus, the two-faced god?
Well, imagine for a moment that God has two faces – the one you see in front and the one you don’t see in back.
You aren’t permitted to see the face of God in the back. When you tried, you were prevented.
So, after protesting this limitation on your freedom, you then decided to live with the situation and talk with the face of God you could talk to and were permitted to see.
That’s just about how I see the situation with God.
God the Mother is that face of God we can see and talk to. What I call God the Father is the stillness and silence, which exists at all levels. (2) The Mother herself says: “When I am Father, there is a stillness, complete. ” (3)
Not only the ancients but the Divine Mother, as channeled by Linda Dillon, called the Absolute “the Father,” just as they called the Creator, Preserver, and Transformer of the multiverse the Mother. (4) The Mother herself uses the gender metaphor:
“Let us be very basic. My essence is love. The Father and I are conjoined as One, our love. And it is from this union that all is born.” (5)
“I am the Mother — mother of all, giver of life, giver of love. It is my joy to be speaking with you. And I want to explain, for there are many thoughts and conceptions about who I am, about what I am.” (6)
Steve: How are you known, Mother?
Divine Mother: I am known as all. I am known as love. I am known … as dynamic action, as movement, as constant change, as fulfillment. Sometimes you tend to think of me as the Holy Spirit, (7) but there is more to me than that, and there is a shade of the Father within there as well. But I am known by the movement within you and the movement within your Earth, within all things, within all universes.
I am a birther and a giver. I am the unchanging movement, and the constantly changing movement. I am the rhythm. I am the flow. I am Mother. (8)
I’ve often wondered about the gender metaphor, but given that the Mother herself uses it and given its educational usefulness, I also use it. (9)
She uses the metaphor to explain her ways to us:
I am not simply your Mother ordering you about, telling you what to do! Consider with me for a moment what the Mother Energy is. There are reasons why you have this paradigm, this archetype.
It is the Mother Nurturer. It is the Mother Disciplinarian. It is the Mother who ‘course corrects’ you as you grow. It is the Mother who sees you grow into the truth of fulfillment, the evolution of your maturity on every level. …
I am not a thundering, punishing Mother – nor is the Father for that matter! (10)
She rescues the Father from the thundering deity stereotype that we impose on him. Only the Mother could tell us the Father’s nature, conclusively. Everything we say, I believe, is pure guesswork.
It’s made a profound impression on me to have been enabled to interview her and have private readings with her through Linda. Believe me, I used the occasion quite deliberately, to confirm some spiritual verities that only she could talk about.
