The concept of the one God in three aspects is present in three major world religions. The Hindus trinity is Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. These stand for the creator, the preserver, and the destroyer. They are also known as the being, the immanence, and the Word or Holy Spirit. Each one of the trinity has his own female consort. Brahma’s consort is Saraswati - the Goddess of knowledge. For Vishnu it is Lakshmi - the Goddess of love, beauty, and delight. For Shiva is Kali (Parvati) - the goddess of power, destruction, and transformation. All are worshiped in their own right as well as their male spouses.
Lao Tse is known as the first philosopher of the Taoist religion. His book the Te-Tao Ching was written in the 6th century BC. The Tao’s Trinity is made up of the Three Supreme Gods, or the Three Pure Ones. The members of the Taoist Trinity are as follows: Tien-pao, Heavenly Jewel, Ling-pao, Mystic Jewel, and Shen-pao, Spiritual Jewel. They are also referred to as Celestial worthy of primordial beginning, Celestial worthy of numinous treasure, and Celestial worthy of the Tao and its power.
The Tao is "the way," the way of heaven and earth. From the Te-Tao Ching: "The one becomes the two. The two becomes the three. The three becomes the 10,000 things that support the yin and uphold the yang."
In Christianity we have the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These aspects represent God in His three forms. For centuries we have lived in a Patriarchy. The church fathers chose to eliminate any worship of the divine feminine. They also have made the concept of the Christ Consciousness only available to one person, Jesus. Jesus is our Elder brother. He came to show us the way to become a candidate for the Cosmic Christ Spirit to enter and dwell within us. This was His reward for living many lifetimes with Spirit paramount in His life. Why did He say "You will do greater works than I." if the potential was not there?
The Christ is not a person but a "position" or "office" we ALL attain to. This of course includes all women. The great Mother sustains and nurtures us all. This aspect of the Trinity is a logical conclusion to how things work. The Christian Trinity becomes, Father, Son or Daughter and Holy Spirit Mother. I like to look at this in a very simple, logical, down to earth manner. You have a Father, known as the will of God. You have a Son or Daughter, known as the love of God. Then there is the Holy Spirit or Holy Breath. This aspect represents the understanding, thought, wisdom, and truth of God.
Ok, you have the Father, you have the Son or Daughter, what are you missing? Mother. Holy Spirit Mother. Look around, this is the way we do things in these here parts!
Mother, the divine feminine. The truth whispered to us in our hearts and minds. The thought that creates our lives. The breath that gives us life. The physical bodies that become the vehicles of life on earth.
poem WOMAN
by Merry C. Battles
"Woman, you are the opening into this world from the mysterious light beyond.
You transport the soul from its Spirit home to its creation.
You are the handiwork of God Goddess and Her Miracles.
Her divine light gives you breath.
His mighty power gives you the gift of life.
His dreams for you are of perfection.
As Mary’s pure thought and deed helped to create the Christ child.
That power is within woman, to be there when life bursts forth,
When creation brings into this life another soul
on its journey to the perfect life.
We begin as Spirit and Soul.
We are given choices of love and perfection
or hate and damnation.
Which one to choose?
Which one to choose?"
Hiding the fact of the feminine aspects of divinity has gotten our world on the brink of disaster. Would a Mother devoted to her children want war, murder, and killing as a way of life? We are tired of war. This is not how our children should be brought up, to die for a handful of greedy people who want more power and more money. This just has to STOP!
The 1,000 years of peace promised will begin when the divine feminine has taken Her equal place with the divine masculine. The Age of Aquarius brings in the ideas of "Ye are my friends."(John 15:4) I have been saying for years, "Where are the women speaking? Why aren’t they standing up and saying what is close to their hearts?" Well, guess what? I have become one of those women I have been pointing to.
If women don’t start speaking up, we are going down the tubes.
Holy Spirit Mother. Save us!
