SPIRITUAL INITIATION IN THE GREAT WOMB OF DIVINE MOTHER

8 am on the 8th day of the 8th month 2020 in the Tibetan and Vedic Traditions

Revati: The Great Womb of Divine Mother

The 8th day of the 8th month at 8am GMT when the moon is in Aries at 8 degrees conjoining Charon falls into the embrace of the 26th Tibetan Gyukar, Namdru and the Goddess of Healing Sowe Lhamo and Shepa Gyeje, the growing of knowledge and wisdom, and the spiritual twenty seventh nakshatra Revati, the female Elephant, and kshiradyapani shakti, or the power of nourishment in the Great Womb of Divine Mother.

The symbol associated with Revati is a drum or mridanga. The drum is a symbol of marking time. So it also draws our attention to timelessness, the vastness of space that is Divine Mother’s Womb and the unity of empty clarity and bliss that is at the heart of freeing us from all suffering. Mercury is the ruling planet of this nakshatra, with Venus exalted reflecting a deep connection with music, dance, drama and sacred literature. 

You may feel an overwhelming desire to know your true soul purpose. You may even feel that time is short and all your resources should be dedicated to this goal. There is a deep drive to know the truth of your existence and fulfill your spiritual potential. 

The drum symbolizes inner wealth, intuitive gifts and spiritual growth that must be developed in order to progress on the spiritual path. Revati has a moksha temperament with a primary motivation of spiritual liberation. Its animal symbol is a female elephant. Maha Maya the mother of Gautama Buddha had a dream of a white elephant which meant she would conceive a child who would become a world ruler or the Buddha.

In Dzogchen and Mahamudra the ultimate view, meditation and action is that all of us have buddha nature. So there is nothing to meditate on. No meditation and no meditator. If we do not recognize the view there can be no meditation or action. And the ultimate view, that all of us have the buddha nature, is the view of Dzogchen. The view of Dzogchen is beyond words, the emptiness aspect like the sky, the luminosity aspect like the sun and moon, the all-pervasiveness of samsara and nirvana like the sun rays and moon rays. If one realizes the view of emptiness, everything is possible, and this is the impact such a view can have on your experience.

We are being asked to be the Buddha’s child in Divine Mother’s Womb. To conceive the Buddha or Christ within us as a Divine Mother and give birth to freedom from suffering for all through our loving compassionate awareness, clarity, wisdom and kindness.

This requires a new way of being, a new awakening, to one humanity where there is love and compassion for all sentient beings, including all animals and the living essence and heart of this planet, Gaia, our Earth. She, the animals, all human beings are in are hearts because they are us and we are them.

The main deity is  Pushan, the divine nurturer. The shakti is “the power to nourish and liberate others”.

It may be useful to note that Albert Einstein had his natal Venus placed here and during his Venus Dasa wrote the Theory Of Relativity.

So this is a time of change for technology. Technology can no longer be used to destroy and it is time we dismantled all such weapons of destruction in whatever form. This is an era of technology of empathy, technology to alleviate suffering, technology of mridru or the soft nature of the wisdom of ancient cultures, the mystical and the merging of science and spirituality. Much progress has been made in neuroscience for example and understanding the nature of mind and heart. This is a time of retreat and seclusion, of seeking the element of water for nurturing and soothing your empathic sensitive nature. You are already sensing the new skills for the new world, the visionary path that has love, compassion, wisdom and awareness at its heart. You are a protector of the spiritual journey, both here and in the soul’s journey to what lies beyond.

This is a beneficial period for spiritual retreats, activating your ancient knowledge and wisdom from sacred traditions, mystical explorations such as light language, assisting our beloved animal kingdom to find protection and sanctuary, looking after your body, health and hygiene, healing your relationships with those near and dear to you and reaching out in business to those in other lands to form collectives and collaboratives. If you have considered starting a conscious enlightened business or writing a sacred book now is the time to do it. If your inclination is spiritual art get out the materials you need and begin.

It also benefits new research and scientists on the cutting edge of the emerging spiritual technology and neuroscience.

Worldwide there will be turbulence in politics, economics and law, with leaders and dictators having their old archaic traditions challenged while artists, sensitives, starseeds, psychics, shamans, empaths and alchemists working with the invisible world and fabric of what lies beyond the physical will be ambassadors for the new awakened humanitarian empowerment which is rising as the earth’s collective consciousness realizes the need for spiritual initiation and birth. Some unusual leaders will birth and find fame as well as those who are of a philosophical nature with a very charitable heart and good sense of humor. Unpredictability may make many struggling with reality resort to drugs or addictions as a way of covering up their sense of isolation and loneliness. Disruption to film projects, politics and planning will pave the way for humanitarian projects and charity work as the mystical and spiritual work needed begins to be made aware to everyone.

Thirty two stars at the southern end of Pisces make up the Great Womb of Divine Mother, Revati. As such it represents endings and completion and the heralding in of a new spiritual awareness.

It represents activation of mystical power, shakti and spiritual enlightenment through a progressive series of spiritual initiations, rituals and cleansing.

Now is the ideal time to seek out divine connections and healing, spiritual initiation into the Heart of the Goddess, Divine Mother and wisdom and liberation. 

You may find yourself in the depths of exploring your soul purpose, and so powerful emotions, even troubled conflicts or depression may arise as your soul sees the world’s remaining outdated structures grimly hanging on to modes of consciousness that no longer serve the divine purpose.

You may feel confused, stressed or even angry at the appalling conditions you find others and animals and the earth’s environment in.

The power of kshiradyapani shakti, or spiritual initiation in the Womb of the Divine Mother is demanding attention and activation. 

The female elephant energy within may be aroused. The need to nurture and provide soft, kind, gentle love to this planet can bring a period of a sensitive nervous system, psychic vulnerability and divine restlessness.

Gratitude, courage, purification of eating habits and time to be alone in nature, stillness and silence and spaciousness with your loved ones and divine friends are the best remedies.

If you are reading this then you are likely to have had a past life in ancient Japan, China, Tibet or India, identify with Sirius as the earth’s Spiritual Sun, are realizing your star seed origins, connect with your home planet civilizations on Pleiades, Sirius, Arcturus or Andromeda and know that you are in a cycle of rebirth of divine friendships and new relationships including twin flame connections in this year, 2020, of the Tibetan Iron Mouse.

This is the final cycle of the planet, a time when your inter-dimensional awareness is at a peak. The understanding of portals and symbols and how to use them to travel inter-dimensionally is awake.

Your knowledge of alchemy and natural magic is flowing and your consciousness is already reaching a point of presence in the sounds and light of the fifth element, space, opening the language we call light language to communicate beyond and retrieve information and energy through stillness, silence and spaciousness awareness.

You can touch your deity consciousness, your Light Family, and bring healing to those around you by embodying Goddess and Divine Mother consciousness of loving kindness.

Your path is the Wisdom Path, a simple awareness of being and co-creation where you are aware that the veils cast over our earth with its confusion of politics, economic inequality and grasping has nothing whatsoever to do with your inner essence and everything to do with your perspective. When you fill yourself with compassion and gratitude you will naturally surrender and let go and attract those who will shelter and feed your heart and bring you divine friendship to expand your true self and our shared heart.

You are the Light.

You know the Dynasty of Divine Mother where you embrace the desire of all beings to be spiritually free. The ocean of Divine Mother washes away your fears and bathes you in bliss.

Breathing in, I am bathed in love and kindness, wisdom and compassion, 
Breathing out I am bathed in love and kindness, wisdom and compassion.

Be the stillness, silence and spacious awareness of Divine Mother’s Great Womb.

Be that throughout your day and bring that awareness to all beings.

Love and soul blessings

SIGNS ON THE PATH

Diary of Wednesday 22^nd July Morning

The last few days I have been contemplating the meditator and the meditation. So I haven’t written in this diary.

Becoming aware of the four yogas of Mahamudra,

One pointedness, simplicity (beyond concept), one taste and non-meditation.

Our practices all involve our differing and complex personalities.

Some people are step-by-step, they need clear steps and processes.

Some are jumpers, jumping up and jumping down the levels.

And some are realizers, who recognize some aspect of the practice from the very beginning so go straight to any level, even the last one. That is rare, and difficult.

I am slow and ponderous, like an ox, taking lots of time, to saturate each level with awareness.

In the beginning I learned shamata. Through Yogananda or the Dalai Lama? No, actually as a child through the Carmelite practice I was trained in. Prayer, awareness of God, trust and have faith. Pretty simple. I was a good child. All I remember of childhood is golden light. The air tasted like that to me. Very simple. And then I had that recurring dream of being a Tibetan monk at the age of 2. Every night, for a year. I remembered OM and the clear light. I must have practiced a lot of dream yoga in my previous life to remember that. It is clear as a bell even today. So I started practice early.

I discovered three stages to shamata practice.

One is a waterfall, where when I meditate there is a lot of experience up and down, one is a river, relaxed, clarity, joy and peace, the mind like a clear blue sunny sky, and one is a lake without waves, where the mind is clear vivid and luminous, filled with bliss and compassion all the time. All day and all night.

This of course is not enlightenment as you are still experiencing, you are still meditating, you are still tasting.

Some months ago the mind stabilized like that. And so I developed even deeper devotion and bodhicitta, praying to the gurus, masters, angels and saints, dedicating all merit to all beings.

Until one day there was no meditation and no meditator. I wrote a poem, a song about it, because there was nothing to say.

The Song of Uncontrived Simplicity.

The mind and heart are uncontrived, in a simple natural state.

Empty, luminous, clear

Such is the nature of ground

Everything arises as emptiness merged with compassion

Awareness and spaciousness

The flow is nectar itself

Such is the path

Self-arising, self-liberated

Naturally present wisdom

Naturally arising kayas

Such is fruition

All is One Taste

Beyond

All is Gone

Beyond

Before meditation, in meditation, post meditation and meditator all vanished

And none remained from this meditation on innate essence

Just this song

It was rather odd to be honest. Before this there was a taste.

Then for three days nothing.

This I discovered is very useful.

The beginning of simplicity or going beyond concept.

Meditation and meditator as one.

This is not enlightenment either.

It is a stage of direct realization.

Prior to this I had a dramatic experience, a very full taste.

Here it is

“I sat to do my usual Yoga method of Avalokiteshvara Chenrezig meditation prior to dream yoga practice and at the point of invoking the deity Manjushri sitting on the throne of the snow lion (the deity having the strength of great loving kindness manifesting through me in the lucid dream of the previous night serving the purpose of all hell realm beings and eradicating the misery of those suffering the extremes of heat and cold), as he embraced the female deity of space, invoked from the essence of the pure land of Potalaka, clear white light as the essence of the deity was liberated from his/her heart-mind and entered my crown as a vajra. This meditator ceased to be. Thereupon light and breath arose spontaneously and light and breath cycled in an uninterrupted flow so that awareness and light and breath travelled together, initially from crown chakra outside the body to the secret chakra in front and then wove a perfect web of light, a perfect sphere of light spontaneously, in front and behind, to left and to right, above and below, as there was no one to weave it and then this transformed into a woven web and then a perfect sphere of rainbow light, boundless and free, infinite and indestructible as if spun from the hearts of the five deities and consorts and their Buddha families themselves. As it says in the tantras, the outer, inner and secret is like a matrix of an illusory display. It was as if the deities, consorts and families were pointing out the gateways to connect with their proper vessels. Then it was dharmakaya like space, free of elaboration, the great storehouse, the source of everything. There was no volition to finish and no meditation to maintain. This was stable over a long time. Over all my thirty or so dedicated years of meditation this was simply indescribably wordless and my description is a failure to describe the primordial wisdom’s self-occurring awakened awareness.”

I had been taking personal advice from Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche after a Dzogchen retreat and then a dream yoga retreat and so all benefits were not of my doing.

I keep dreaming and seeing Manjushri. For years. Why? I keep asking him, why are you here. He answers me like the Rosary of Precious Questions from the Seventh Karmapa.

You whose heart is full of devotion

Who pay homage to me

The eternally youthful

Supreme Deity

Spiritual Doctor

I will change your devotion into ambrosia

Bring gifts and virtues

To all sentient beings

It feels like that. I keep receiving bountiful gifts. And passing them all on to you. However it is just a taste.

So this “no taste” of the last three says was immensely helpful.

Beyond concept and luminosity are not just words. As you know you actually experience them. You become them. That state.

My meditations used to be very long. Now they are shorter.

The quality is very very clear.

Not so much experience.

More realization.

There is still attachment. Today strong vivid emotions of anxiety arose, from where I do not know, as they are very rare these days, somewhat analogous to the sun becoming brighter and the shadows becoming brighter. They are brief like boiling water being greeted by cold water, the moment I turn the lens of awareness towards it they settle and become peaceful.

Emptiness has become very strong. I am sitting here across from my wife and I am not seeing her but more being her. I am she and she is me, we are one. She is not an object of my awareness, she is awareness. She is love and everything about me, in the space and in this world is love.

My waking practice daily is to study Dzogchen (Great Perfection) with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, Mahamudra (Great Seal) with Yongey Mingyur Rinpcohe and Madhyamaka (Great Middle Way) with the Dalai Lama. Eternally grateful for the personal connections with them as they point out the way.

Meditation is simply sitting and noting what arises. Tigles of clear light and rainbow light arise in meditation, dreaming and waking moments. Not stabilized over 24 hours but naturally present. Arising spontaneously.

Dreams on a dream yoga retreat are most insightful pointing out the way.

Last night in a lucid dream Manjushri’s snow lion/tiger was loose in a hotel and about to kill many people. I was called in to help. I had to make the decision whether to kill the celestial lion, which symbolizes fearlessness or to let it wreak havoc and kill all the people. At that point I became lucid and recognizing the dilemma took a celestial spear and wounded the lion and asked all the people to evacuate. The lion was writhing in pain on its side so I went up to it and spoke to it and healed its side and then asked it to leave, which it did.

It was very profound and in the meditation that followed there was a flow of clear light like a waterfall, then pure realms clear light arising then rainbow light.

I simply sat, aware of understanding leading to direct experience leading to realization. Sutra to Tantra to pith instructions. Even the meditation is pointing out the way to me. Like fear arising or waterfalls it is all simply emptiness. One taste or no taste depending on how you want to look at it. My 2 year old self saw awareness pretty simply. I endeavor to learn from him.

I have found a very naturally arising practice to be blessing the air molecules that they may be liberated. It is as if the guru consciousness, the light of awareness in the heart of all, is alive and dancing in every molecule, love itself, gazing back at me. And after all, we do breathe these molecules so why not bless their liberation prior to inhaling. Why not bless love in all things, all people, all creatures, all air molecules? Life itself becomes a blessing.

As always, I dedicate all the benefits of my practice to you all.

And thank you all for being my teachers.

Love and blessings

Your humble and undoubtedly particularly lazy and slow-as-an-ox student
