Part V · The one who lives in you

The Mother, again

The Divine Mother has appeared three times in these pages. She is the part of your own Being that removes what you have understood, raises the fire and guides you home.

An old woman lighting a lamp in a small shrine at night.

You have met the Divine Mother three times already. On page 31 you asked her to take a self you had understood. On page 42 she was the fire rising along the spine. On page 62 the prayer for a good death called her the Mother of light.

The tradition teaches that she is one power with three faces. She removes what you have understood. She raises the creative fire. And she guides you through the night and through death.

She is not a statue, and she is not a belief. She is part of your own Being: your particular, individual Divine Mother, as close to you as your breath. Many traditions have known her under one name or another. What matters is not the name. It is that you turn to her sincerely.

Her help asks only one thing of you: that you see clearly first. She removes what you have understood, not what you are still defending. So the order matters. Catch the self, understand it, and then ask.

Many people find that the simplest prayer is the best one. Three words, said from the heart in the moment you need them.

Try this

  1. Today, when you catch a self rising, say silently: Mother, help me.
  2. Say it once, sincerely. Do not argue with the self or fight it.
  3. Notice what changes, even a little.
  4. Tonight, in the review, thank her in your own words.

The feminine power in your own Being. The books also call her Kundalini.

In the old words

“The Divine Mother Kundalini has the power to reduce to ashes any subjective, inhuman psychic aggregate.”
