Introducing the New Mother of Light Ltd.

Hello, out there!  Already, 2011 has been a very different year for me – sort of spontaneously, of its own accord, the enterprise that began only in book form – the Mother of Light: The Book of Fire, Vols.I and II, (The Bardo, and Tao of the Mother: Cantos on Fire Eating and the Art of Love in the 21st Century) – has developed new petals on its bloom.  This has taken the shape of a gift shop experience, in a framework focussed around spiritual practice.

Before I tell you about the elements in our new shop, I want to explain a little about why this might be unusual for me, personally, and how it is meaningful now; the life story told in The Bardo traces a trajectory, kind of like the path of a rocket, out of the earthly sphere completely.  Though certain tools were allowed, and remained throughout the exodus – crystals, for example – by and large, accessories and adjuncts were passed through, and just left behind.  I was amazed, frankly, when a piece of writing, like a book, crystallized and fell to earth, and I certainly never visualized any additional “condensation”, so to speak; nor was I seeking any.
To my surprise, some specific tools and medicines of different kinds stepped forward as this year opened, to be made available for the process of spiritual expansion; I realized, as well, that this was indicative of a return to the world of form for me, at the same time.
Here, briefly, are the limbs to the Mother of Light Ltd. Gift Shop: they are comprised of products of our own, together with new affiliate relationships we feel are important for aspirants.  I will have more to say about them next month:
*Mother of Light Print Gallery: The “Rose Garden“, photography of the special roses of the book covers, and more
*The Sri Chakra Gallery, unique compositions of highly inspired Sri Chakra mandala art photographs, individual prints, including the Magician, as seen in the website.

*Mother of Light Vibrational Medicine: this includes highlights of specific remedies I have found to be especially catalytic for spiritual process, through a fully-articulated affilliate company (meaning offering new formulations of vibrational essences, in addition to Bach Flowers) and introducing the Mother of Light Lightening Series: Mantra Essence.  For those of you who ever wondered how you could truly capture “lightening-in-a-bottle”, we are pleased to offer two tinctures:

The Thousand Names of the Divine Mother (Lalita Sahasranama)

Om Namah Shivaya

Both infused and concentrated into pure water from the Appalachian Mountains, through the use of massive Herkemer Diamond and ParaAmethyst crystal.

*Full scale availability of crystals and gems, through our new affilliate, Healing Crystals and more…

Well, that’s all for now, folks – state tuned, we should be up and running with the complete banquet of Light by the time I talk to you in March!

Mother of Light

It all began with the words, “The Divine Mother appeared in a vision and said, ‘When you save someone’s life, you take their karma.’”

This is how Mother of Light: The Book of Fire – written with express blessing of Mother Meera, a universally recognized Incarnation of the Devi, the Divine Mother – was born.  Volume I The Bardo, is the autobiographical document that relates the choices, the events, the experiences of this arc described in the vision of Meera.

“The great saint, Ramakrishna, once said, ‘When it is time for a soul to  attain liberation, it is led to the Divine Mother.'”Tao of the Mother: Cantos on Fire Eating and the Art of Love in the 21st Century,Volume II of The Book of Fire, evolved as a synthesis on a higher level of hierarchy – extractions of lessons learned that can be utilized by a broader audience.  Created from direct experience, and supported on all sides by ample quotations from Sri Aurobindo, Mother Meera, the Siva Sutras and more, it is a window into the living practice of the Devi, as She labors to untie the knots binding the soul to the human dream.

Q: Are there other incarnations of the Divine Mother on Earth at this time?

MM: “Yes, many. Some will be known, others wish to remain a secret.

The work of each is different. Each expresses a different aspect of the Divine Mother.”…

(Mother Meera from Answers)

This has been called “the Hour of the Devi”, She of infinite faces, personalities and forms.  We are privileged to provide pages, and links to the three Incarnations of the Divine Mother most internationally recognized at this time: Mother Meera, Amritanandamayi, Karunamayi (the reader may take note that Karunamayi offers blessed sacred jewelry and objects in Her gift shop.)

Recently, the enterprise has expanded into Mother of Light, Ltd.  We are pleased to open our “gift shop” – more of a tool box, really – of certain accoutrements we feel strongly    benefit devotion and spiritual practice:

Crystals We offer full access to a shop for precious crystals, minerals and gems, an aspect of tremendous and enduring importance, as discussed in The Bardo, in particular. Visit  Flower/Vibrational Remedies These tinctures are of immense catalytic power, specifically for those approaching ‘escape velocity’ at this time. Visit AusAngels, source for Australian Bush Flower Remedies, and more..

…and be among the first to experience Lightning Series – Mantra Essences developed by Mother of Light, Ltd.

India Arts We are thrilled to offer a beautifully articulated avenue into the arts, textiles and jewels of India. Visit Exotic India Arts.

Tao of the Mother

The great saint Ramakrishna once said, “When it is time for a soul to be enlightened, it will be led to The Divine Mother”

Junipur is proud to present

Mother of Light: The Book of Fire Vol II

Tao of The Mother

Cantos on Fire Eating and The Art of Love

in the 21st Century

It is a concise, practical manual for those who seek to understand the role of the Divine Mother, the Devi, as She presides over the processes of liberation of the soul engaged in the human dream.

This little handbook can greatly accelerate dissolving obstructions to spiritual practice, first by facilitating the understanding of the intricate relationship between personal psychology and evolution into Light – and by illustrating how to open to the force of the Divine Mother, Whose kinetic Grace releases us from the ties that bind us.

The Mother is the essence of the spiritual fire.  Flanked by excerpts from Sri Aurobindo, Mother Meera, The Siva Sutras and more, Tao of the Mother reveals what becomes of the fire in the world – how it is lost, how it may be regained – with special focus on the deep psychology of the aspirant.  This book is dedicated to you who truly burn to find the EXIT sign.

Available On Amazon

This book has been written with the express blessing of Mother Meera

Summary of Chapters and Prologue

Chapter 1: The Mother

This is an introduction of the reality of the Divine Mother, with the focus on Her Being as forming the substrata of the disciple himself, to open the discussion on the balancing and perfecting of this Divine relationship in pursuit of liberation.  Excerpts are included from: Fifth Mahatmya of Chandi; Mother Meera (Answers); The Lalita Sahasranama; Sri Aurobindo (The Mother).

Chapter 2: The Wound

This chapter is in 4 sections, in descending order of the hierarchy of cause/effect: the cosmic level of “wound”, as the loss of universal fire,i.e. the illusion of duality, and how this primal wounding has devolved in this era of Kali Yuga; an outlining of the nature of thought, how matrika forms the basis of the malas; “closer to the earth’s surface”, some ways in which, in this time of spiritual darkness, the wound has complicated and entrenched in the psyche of the human collective and individual, barring the pathway to release; how this level of psychic/spiritual scarring pertains specifically to the spiritual seeker; and ways to understand the essential role of the Divine Mother in the healing of these wounds, i.e. the Divine Mother as the universal “soul-retriever”. Excerpts are included from: Mother Meera (Answers), The Siva Sutras, Lalita Sahasranama

Chapter 3: The Medicine: Fire Eating

This is an overview of sadhana as the cultivation of Fire, and as the art of love; including thoughts on the prerequisite for the maturation of the personality vehicle to even desire this Divine love and sacrifice.  It is divided into specific treatment of the practices of Prayer, Japa, and Meditation. Excerpts are included from: The Lalita Sahasranama, Siva Sutras, Mother Meera (Answers), Sri Aurobindo (The Mother), Sivananda ((Japa Yoga)

…Prologue…

Dear Reader,

These books were written with the blessings and expressed permission of  Mother Meera, a universally accepted Incarnation of the Divine Mother. And it has been called “the Hour of the Mother”, the 11th chime striking as I embark on the discourse; in my understanding, it is the initiation of the entirety of the human collective, on the cusp of the cosmic Age of Pisces, and that of Aquarius.  The piece is meant to be a notebook about the concerns of spiritual practice in preparation for the passage, but I have entered the topic through the doorway of psychological approach – what we citizens of the ‘new age’ would have called “process”.

Among other things, I hope through the course of the journal to discuss: how psychological work, and spiritual practice are the activity of one and the same principle, differing only in name relative to the age of the aspirant, the maturity of the intent in the continuum of consciousness; that it is the agency of the Divine Mother – also named “Maha Shakti” – who comprises both the inner being pursuing the labor, as well as forming the living stream of intelligence, knowledge and power creating and guiding the birth of transformation on any point on the arc, whether it be termed “therapy”, or “sadhana”.  And whether the goal be resolution with one’s parents, integration of personality, or whole liberation of the soul from bondage.

I worried a bit when I was contemplating the writing of this book; while for me, these fields of contemplation, (and at such a pitch of intensity) are endlessly fascinating and hypnotic, I realize many find them dry, inaccessible…or worse, just pointless.  If you find yourself searching for a reason to embark on some arcane study, I can but offer my own personal experience of the odyssey: I want to say spiritual practice is the pursuit of the wild.  Beyond even instinct, it is primal, universal response to the irresistible call of the untamable, unquenchable wild.  It is the human mind, in its arbitrary conceptual framework that is the finite, and the dead.  But like everything in life, your interest depends on how you perceive things; how you see is, in turn, shaped and colored by what you really want.

It is my hope, as we are perched on a cliff overlooking the abyss, that these pages can add something fruitful  to the dialogue in which we, as a people, are now engaged.  But in the end, every path is a secret, inner way, singular to the unique individual. And no one knows the child but the Universal Mother – She alone possesses the book of the soul wherein is written, in letters of light, each intimate turn, step, sequence…the locks, the keys.  I would not presume to outline lists of rules, or “things” to hold close.  My intent has been to shed one beam on discerning the inscrutable way of the Divine Mother as I understand it – albeit from a limited human perspective – perhaps illuminating some syllable of Her language. Best of luck to us all.

2012: Thoughts on Turning Lead into Gold

Dear Who-ever-is-out-there,
I’m sequestered here in the massive Arctic blast, trying to find the pieces of my mind to address the last blog of the year 2010.  Suddenly, I find myself compelled to do something I had never planned, which is to relay the substance of a visitation I had from Mother Meera, some year-and-a-half ago.  The essence of Her message is all you really need to know; it confirms what is accepted knowledge to many in present day, while seeming a remote or fanatical rumor to others.  Here it is:

2012

She did convey some details, but I don’t feel it necessary to express them – the portent of the date speaks for itself.    I don’t see my role, whatever that is, as a soap-box speaker, or a town crier – it’s not anywhere in my DNA – so when I received the vision, confirming definitively what I had always known full well, it was not my first thought to pick up a megaphone, literally or figuratively.  The imponderable weight of the time on earth, whether or not you are tune with apocalyptic prophecy, is crushing us all anyway.  I wondered, how can I possibly lay one more straw on the back of the collapsing human race – the one I love so desperately, regardless of having been driven into exile  over the decades, by its various members?
Then I contemplated again about the bloody trail of my own life, about the real purpose and message written out in The Bardo; I remembered,once more, that the whole point was that I had, in my individual, separate existence, faced in advance the very configuration of catastrophe now rising in a tidal wave before the collective.  I had created the identical no-exit-no-way-out dynamic through indulging in the same tragic human flaws we are, as a whole, mired in today: arrogance, impatience, adolescent immaturity, and obstanance, to name a few.  My one saving grace was some deeply ingrained capacity for ruthless, cutting-to-the-bone inquiry – part of a Scorpio influence, maybe.
As the landscape of this incarnation truly dawned on my consciousness, with all its implications and necessary outcomes, I knew the only resolution was in the turning to face the adversaries of my invention – lock them dead in my sights – and hurl myself into a battle to the death.  There was no room for the courtesies and elegance of cheerful, ‘positive thinking’, avoiding negative feelings, ‘staying in the light’, in the way these concepts have come to be thrown around indiscriminantly. You must first create – from your own hard work, and victories on the field – the conditions where the Light can exist within you, before you can ‘stay’ in it.
Here’s my point, then. We are in the time of lead..the last hours of the Piscean Age are of this quality of impermeable opacity and darkness. The only way to reach gold is not through painting with thicker coats of gilt over what is fundamental shadow and unredeemed consciousness..we can’t lie our way out of it this time.  With terror and trembling, we must see the truth as it is, and try our best to stand with each other, and hold each other up as we prepare for the fight.
With this in mind, I say in this last blog of  2010: 2012. It is on the approach. We better stand up, or die trying.
See you on January 1.
