THE GODDESS

In nearly all big religions of the world we talk about a male God. A Goddess, a divine female force is either not mentioned at all (Islam, Judaism) or reduced to some saints (Christianity).
(The only exception here is Hinduism… for the Hindis, Mother Goddess – Durga/Shakti – is the main power. She is the Creator… she is the one who runs the world, the creation. Father God is supposed to be equally important as She, but He is one who just watches, “does” nothing… everything is done by Mother Goddess Shakti. And Shakti means “Power”. The Kundalini Power is Her power).

In my opinion this is because all those big religions have been made by men, who manipulated the original teachings of great enlightened masters like Jesus, Buddha and Mohammed according to their own desires and purposes. We know now, that even though the Catholic Church denies the theories of reincarnation and other such teachings, there are other unpublished documents and beliefs that teach us about them. Whatever served the purpose of manipulating people and separating them from their own power and divinity was and is published as THE truth and “God’s Will”.

My intention is not to judge the church and other spiritual institutions”. I also trust that those centuries of darkness were according to a bigger divine plan. Earth is a place where we wanted to experience darkness, fear, abuse of power, absence of light and love – and according to our intention the circumstances manifested themselves.

This “big plan”, which was the cause for the creation of Earth, however also contained the transformation of the dark remembering the light, divine love and our origin and true Self: We all are divine light manifesting as individual souls, incarnating to live seemingly personal experiences, which at the same time enrich the divine.

The divine is the source of everything – of light and darkness, and as long as we deny our own “shadow”, we have not yet found our own soul completely, this divine sparkle, which is our true Self.

The divine is neither male, nor female – however it is both, because it contains everything.

In earlier cultures not only a male God was worshipped, but also a female Goddess, which was absolutely equal to God.
Nowadays it’s about re-gaining this balance of energies. This cannot happen through the “old ways”, because the energies on Earth have changed dramatically during the past 2000 years. These days the ancient wisdom is melting with the new frequencies. These new frequencies were not available on Earth before. This melting of the ancient wisdom with the new frequencies will give birth to something new, which will help us connect with our own power and magnificence.

The energy of the Goddess has changed as much as everything else – or should I say our understanding and consciousness about it?
In the past, cruel sacrifices and punishments were given in the name of the Goddess. Even though most of this custom is gone, we still have occasional sacrifices to appease the Goddess. This is due to the old program from former incarnations, which says that we need to sacrifice something in order to connect to the female aspect of the Divine Source. The Mayans made sacrifices of the human heart. Priestesses in ancient Greece had to remain virgins. There are many such examples.
There is a lot to be healed and the Goddess can help us:
The goddesses Kuan Yin, Mother Mary and Mary Magdalene with their compassion and unconditional love; the goddesses Brigit, Freya and Kali with their power and courage; the goddesses Oonagh, Cordelia and Aphrodite with their joy and lightness; the goddesses Isis, Dana and Athena with their wisdom and strength.

We can ask them for help and support the same way as we do with angels, Ascended Masters, power animals and all the other spiritual guides, which are at our side.

Traditionally there are three aspects of divine feminine energy: The maiden, the mother and the crone.
Many women get stuck in the aspect of the mother, no matter whether they have children of their own or not, because in our society we have that image of the “nourishing and always caring woman”. Girls are taught to be like this to please men. Maybe this is the reason why more and more women are getting breast cancer? Because they are “breast feeding” everybody, trying to care for everybody, feeling responsible for everybody – except themselves? Forgetting about their other aspects: The girl with her playfulness, joy, creativity, innocence, enjoying life, and the crone with her wisdom, strength and power.
No matter how old we are – we always have all those three aspects in us! All three need to be expressed and felt in order to be in our power and find our true Selves.

The coming back of the Goddess is very important for men too. The Goddess helps them too to be in their true power and maleness.

An Aspect of the Divine Feminine
by Celia Fenn

Quan Yin, the compassionate expression of the Divine Feminine brings forth this information and has asked me to share it with you at this time.

The Lion's Gate or Sirius Stargate of 2005 has brought through powerful new energies to the Planet. In the months that come, you will see the shifts and changes as you experience the full effects of the new harmonics or vibrational tones. The most powerful of these energies is an aspect of the Divine Feminine, the beautiful and potent Orange-Pink Ray. When the Goddess Matrix was grounded and activated on the Planet in Hawaii in March, the way was opened for the Earth to once again receive the full and powerful transmissions of the Divine Feminine energy that emanate from the Galactic Center or Great Central Sun. These transmissions are amplified through the Sirius field, as Sirius functions as a Second Sun for Planet Earth. So, when Planet Earth aligns with the annual Sirius Stargate, these powerful energies are received and transmitted into the Earth's Grid System.

For many thousands of years, the Earth has not been receiving the full transmissions of the Divine Feminine energy. The Grid system on Earth was manipulated to exclude the Divine Feminine energy in its full power, and the Goddess energy left the planet, except for some places where the echoes continued. However, with the Ascension process, the return of the Goddess and the Divine Feminine has been a key factor in the rebalancing of the energy on the planet.

The new Grid that was laid down in March, called the Paradise Grid or the Goddess Grid, will facilitate the full transmission of the Divine Feminine energy into the Earth's new Fifth Dimensional Crystal Grid system. This important channel for the Goddess energy was supervised and overseen by the Goddesses. Firstly, Quan Yin, who is responsible for maintaining the Feminine Energy on the Planet, assisted by Ma'at, who is responsible for maintaining the Cosmic Balance on a Galactic, Planetary and Individual level. The Great Mother, Isis, was also present at the "birth" of the new Grid, which was also a "marriage" of the Divine Feminine with the Divine Masculine on the Planet. Balance was being achieved, as was symbolized by this marriage of the Divine Feminine with the Divine Masculine principle on Earth. This key moment opened the way for soulmate partnerships between Earth beings that would function as perfect and balanced unions of the Divine Male and Female principles.

Also present was Pele, the great Fire Goddess of Hawaii, whose special function was to anchor the Goddess Grid into the Earth at Hawaii, and then ensure that it was transmitted out to the rest of the Planet. This duly happened in April and May. This process of ensuring that the Goddess grid was anchored into the Planetary Grid was overseen also by the Taras. White Tara working with humans to align their energy to the levels of sensitivity and clarity required to hold the Grid, and Green Tara, bringing back into the minds and hearts of humans who were ready a sense of stewardship and caring for the Planet that is a function of a Ninth Dimensional Human consciousness.

And so, the stage was set for the arrival of the powerful Orange-Pink Ray through the Sirius Stargate in late July and early August of 2005.

What is the Solar Feminine Energy
This may be difficult to understand, since this energy has been absent from the planet for so long, and only lingers on in the memories of those who recall the Great Fire Goddesses and their power and creativity. Pele is one of the original Fire Godesses and an embodiment of the Solar Feminine, as are Sekmet the Egyptian Lioness Goddess, Amaterasu the Japanese Creation Goddess, and Brigit, the Celtic Keeper of the Sacred Flame.

When the Earth Grid was manipulated to exclude the Solar Feminine, humans forgot that women could Powerful Creators. Their creative functions were limited to childbirth, and the Lunar Goddesses became the "mothers" and the keepers of the Feminine Energy on Earth. As a result, in the dualistic and rational belief systems that took hold on Earth, humans were conditioned to define the masculine and the feminine as oppositional, and to assign solar energy to the male and lunar energy to the female. But the ancients knew better, and their pantheons included Solar Goddesses and Lunar Gods.

And so, at this time, humanity is once again recognizing the Solar Feminine energy and the Lunar Male energy.

To embody the Solar Feminine Energy is to be strong, passionate, creative and energetic.It is a Creative energy, and belongs to artists, writers, musicians, and dancers. (The Solar Masculine, by contrast, channels this energy into the mental sphere and produces philosophers, scientists, politicians and business people). The Lunar Feminine energy is gentle, receptive, nurturing and meditative, it is the energy of the Archetypal Mother manifested in nurses, teachers and caregivers. The Lunar Male energy is also gentle, meditative, nurturing and caring, and people who run this energy enjoy professions where they can care for people or support people whether in business or in professions such as doctors, physiotherapists, or even lawyers.

To be a woman and to embody the Solar Feminine energy has been very difficult. Women have conditioned to identify with the Lunar Feminine energy, and those who express their Solar energy have often had to go the route of the Solar Masculine, which sets up Inner Conflicts between a Solar Masculine outer life and a Lunar Feminine model that seems not to "work" or "fit" who they are. With the grounding of the Solar Feminine Energy the Archetypal model of the Fire Goddess and her intense but Feminine Power and Creativity will once again be available to women. There are going to be a lot of women on the Planet who are going to start feeling a lot more comfortable with who and what they are at this time. And a lot of men who will have a better understanding of what their partners and female friends are about.

But also, being able to move an understanding of the Masculine and Feminine energies beyond dualism and into complexity, will break the patterns of dualistic thinking and the judgments that so often go with them. People may choose to embody one of the energies, or all of them at different times. Humans will no longer be trapped in "either"/"or" scenarios, but can exercise freedom and choice to express whatever aspects of their being appeals most to them at that time in their lives. It is a choice of aligning with a harmonic and a tone that most suits your sense of who you are. And the return of the SolarFeminine will certainly be the enabler for this new freedom and creativity.

Powering the Solar Feminine : The Orange-Pink Ray
The Harmonic Tone or Color Energy that is powering the return of the Solar Feminine a this time is the Orange-Pink Ray or vibration. This energy unlocks and activates the Heart Chakra and the Sacral Chakra. That is why so many people have experienced intense cleansing on the emotional and feeling levels with the arrival of the Lion's gate energies this year.

The cleansing has been a fiery transformation and a "clean out" of all the negative and destructive ways in which the solar energy has been used since the Solar Feminine was excluded from the Earth. This includes the use of sacred "fire" for warfare, and especially nuclear warfare. It is no coincidence that the topic of Nuclear War has once again emerged into Human Consciousness at this time.

Other issues that have been raised by the powerful cleansing ray are related to sexuality and abundance, or relationships and money! All these past life and present life issues are coming into consciousness now to be released from the Earth's Matrix Grids so that the Solar Feminine may once again bring the balance that is needed to the planet.

If they were not released at this time, humans would continue to play out these dramas and would miss out on the benefits of the harmonics of the Orange-Pink ray and others that resonate with the Solar Feminine energy. So the intense discomfort that so many of you are experiencing at this time is so that you can be clear channels for the Divine Feminine energy in its full expression. Well worth the discomfort!

When these old energies are released and cleared, then the Divine Feminine energy can flow clearly through the Heart and Sacral chakras. The Heart activation produces energies of Unconditional Love and Harmony. The activation of the clear Sacral Chakra produces Creativity, Passion, Sexuality and Abundance! And I think most of you are thinking, about time too!

This is the time to move forward and enjoy the warm and wonderful energy of the Fire Goddesses as expressed through the Orange-Pink Ray.

NOTE
Quan Yin also directed me to share with you this information on the Orange-Pink Ray that was channeled in the 1990s by Vywamus through Janet McClure. The information is found in "Prelude to Ascension : Tools for Transformation" published by Light Technology Publishing.

Vywamus calls the Orange-Pink Ray the "Eleventh Ray":

"Because the tenth ray has paved the way for it, we call Ray Eleven a bridge to the New Age or to the next level. But it already is, in a very special sense, the next level. When you work with this ray you've unlocked something very important.......As this ray begins to come in, we see many people seeking their higher purposes. The colour, an orange-pink, seems to me important. It gets you in touch with divine love expanded by divine wisdom. The eleventh ray colour combination contains the source light, which we equate with love (although it isn't pink), and also the second ray, fifth ray and some first ray. These are the kinds of rays of which it is composed. It is very special because it is a bridge to a whole new era in human living here on earth. The first makes it very penetrating. It is softened then by the second, and again made more penetrating by the fifth. What does it need to penetrate at that level? It is the remnant -remover, we could say. As the new opportunity comes closer and that final cleansing approaches, the final removal of the former remnants will be cleared out.

Does that say something about the times that are coming......If it is not balanced by humanity, the first ray destructive mode could be "interesting". In clearing out the remnants there might be war, catastrophe. It can be used that way, but it doesn't have to be. If you balance it with the penetrating quality, which sees beyond the necessity for destruction, for clearing out, and you add some divine love to it, then it can be used without the destructive connotation. There does not have to be destruction if the energy is used in the highest and most appropriate manner. The opportunity will be there to use the energy as humanity chooses - that's always true, isn't it? It is a penetrating ray that clears out the remnants. You can look at the situation if it is within self and see what is still there, the remnants of what you've had. Or, if it is Earth, then humanity in general can look at the remnants of what needs to be let go of and can move Earth into a final clearing.

But the Eleventh Ray - I like the bridging connotation, and I like the choice that it gives. And that's important. It says to me that the Source really does allow us free will - that we may choose how we transcend or transmute from one level to another. The choice is there.
