To all Brothers.
Sharing what i read on the internet about the Divine Mother.
=================================================
"The future will see the re-emergence of reverence for the Divine Mother that we knew in past ages."
The Divine Mother, called the Universal Mother or Cosmic Virgin, is the feminine polarity of the Godhead. She is the "other side" of Father. 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 some texts of the Old Testament , the feminine aspect of the divine is called Wisdom, just as the Christian gnostics called her Sophia. In the East she is known as Kuan Yin, the Chinese Goddess of Mercy and Compassion and in the West as Mary, Mother of Jesus. Being multi-faceted, the Divine Mother has a thousand and one faces and her reflection is constantly changing.
The sacred interchange of energy that is God flows from Spirit to Matter, Matter to Spirit. Matter (the material cosmos) symbolically represents the womb of the Mother. The Mother anchors the energies released from Spirit (Father) into Matter (Mother). She brings the formlessness of Spirit (Father) into form. The Divine feminine is the highest expression or aspect of man and woman and we need both Mother and Father for wholeness and balance.
The myriad faces of the Mother explain her being. She can assume any form ranging from the gentle comforter to the fearless warrior. She can be tender and playful(Maa jagdamba) or terrifying and ferocious(mahakali). The Goddess reveals herself as Woman Warrior(Durga), Teacher(Saraswati), Mother and Consort. In different moods, she appears youthful, ancient, or ageless. She is divine creativity, evolutionary energy, timeless awareness, transcendent reality, and, in a special tantric sense, she is every woman. She constitutes the feminine principle within male and female persons and also manifests self-luminous Mother Wisdom, nondual awareness and bliss.
