" The most ancient Eastern spiritual texts, the Vedas, of India, tell

us that the process of spiritual awakening by which one attains truth-

awareness is called 'Self-Realisation'. The Self Realised person

lives in direct experience of reality -- this is called " Jnana " ( a

traditional sanskrit word meaning 'knowledge' or 'Gnosis'). Such a

person is called a " Jnani " ('knower ' or 'gnostic' ) or " dwijaha "

('twice born'; first from a human mother to the earthly plane then

secondly as a child of the Goddess, or Divine Mother, who gives the

seeker their second, spiritual birth, Self Realisation, into the

plane of mystic awareness- gnosis! ). The traditional Indian texts

extol the 'Divine Mother' as the Cosmic Matriarch, bestower of the

highest treasure of Self Realisation upon Her deserving children.

Many Indian mystic traditions say this same goddess is represented

within the human being as the divine feminine power called Kundalini.

 

What of Western tradition? In the Secret Book of John Christ explains

that human redemption before the Heavenly Father occurs by the

mediation of a Divine Feminine principle, which he calls the Earthly

Mother. It is the Earthly Mother who removes the sins of the children

that they can become worthy of their divine heritage; " when all sins

and all uncleanesses are gone from your body, your blood shall become

as pure as our Earthly Mother's blood and as pure as the river's foam

sporting in the sunlight. And your breath shall become as pure as the

breath of odorous flowers; your flesh as pure as the flesh of fresh

fruits reddening upon the leaves of trees; the light of your eye as

clear and bright as the brightness of the sun shining upon the blue

sky. And now shall all the angels of the Earthly Mother serve you and

your breath, your blood, your flesh shall be one with the breath, the

blood and the flesh of the Earthly Mother, that your spirit also

become one with the Spirit of your Heavenly Father. For truly no-one

can reach the Heavenly Father unless through the Heavenly Mother.

Even as the newborn babe cannot understand the teaching of his father

until his mother has suckled him, bathed him, nursed him, put him to

sleep and nurtured him " . The Earthly Mother is a divine mediator

through which the seekers, the Sons of Man, are raised to the

Heavenly Father. Another part of the same text says " Honour your

Earthly Mother and keep her laws that your days may be long on this

earth and honour your Heavenly Father, that eternal life may be yours

in the Heavens. For the Heavenly Father is a hundred times greater

than all the fathers by seed and by blood, and greater is the Earthly

Mother than all mothers by the body " . The Holy Trinity, then is God

the Father, God the Son (ie. Christ) and, it seems, God the Mother.

The Divine Mother particularly is the means and power of spiritual

evolution.

 

The Secret Book of John relates Christ's description of the Divine

Feminine as the power of God Almighty. " She is the first power. She

preceded everything, and came forth from the Father's mind as

forethought of all. Her light resembles the Father's light; as the

perfect power She is the image of the perfect and invisible Virgin

Spirit. She is the first power, the glory, Barbello, the perfect

glory among the worlds, the emerging glory, She glorified and praised

the Virgin Spirit for she had come forth through the Spirit. She is

the first thought, image of the Spirit. She became the universal

womb, for She precedes everything, the common parent, the first

humanity, the Holy Spirit " . The Holy Spirit is here described as the

Divine Power of God Himself. This power is maternal in its character

(universal womb, She, the common parent) and all powerful as

the 'first emanation of God'. More so, She is pure (Virgin) and She

glorifies purity. So ancient Christian tradition seems to tell us

that the holy spirit is actually the Divine Mother! "
