The Tao is called the Great Mother:
empty yet inexhaustible,
it gives birth to infinite worlds.

It is always present within you.
You can use it any way you want.

Buddhist Wisdom

Buddhist Wisdom

Remember the clear light, the pure clear white light from which everything in the universe comes, to which everything in the universe returns; the original nature of your own mind. The natural state of the universe unmanifest.

Let go into the clear light, trust it, merge with it. It is your own true nature, it is home.

-Tibetan Book of the Dead

Book of the Goddess by Anna Livia Plurabelle

Book of the Goddess by Anna Livia Plurabelle

http://www.sacred-texts.com/wmn/bog/index.htm

The Nine Principles of the Goddess
1. I acknowledge that there is one Goddess in essence, Creatrix of
all existences; Her forms are infinite, She manifests Herself in our
love, and we are all Her lovers.

2. Treat all beings with reciprocity, for the Goddess lives in them
as well as in us.

3. Tolerate other religions and do not compel others to join the
circle of the Goddess: the Goddess will draw those to Her who are
ready and hear Her call.

4. Worship Her by restoring balance to Her planet.

5. Eat mostly grains, vegetables and fruits, so that there will be
enough food for all; when you eat thank the Goddess, the provider of
all energy. It is not forbidden to eat animal flesh in moderation,
but when you do so you must thank the animal that you eat as well.

6. In the circle of the Goddess create consensus while respecting
diversity of opinion. On the path of the Goddess there are many paths.

7. In your home create a sacred space for the Goddess to please Her.
Meditate on the Goddess three times a day, at rising, at noon and at
sundown.

8. Sexuality is Her sacrament; enjoy this gift and bless those who
you share it with love and affection. Remember that overcoming
jealousy is the cause of cessation of the cycle of rebirth.

9. Announce the religion of the Goddess to the world through good
works, honest words and selfless acts of beauty and love.

To set out on the path of the Goddess, you need only recite the first
principle three times, and say three times 'blessed be'. The Goddess
will enter your heart and you will feel her love, and when that
happens you are in the circle of the Goddess.

Entrust your breath and being to the Mother!
Entrust your breath and being to the Mother!

O tongue, from with every breath
the powerful name of transformation,
Ma Kali, Ma Kali.
The heart where Goddess Kali is awake
feels no need to reason or speculate.

Simply to satisfy our longing, we consecrate
external images for worship of the Goddess.
She abides deep in our inward being
as open space, as dancing flame.

O singer of Mother's mystic hymns,
bring your scattered speech together
and taste the nectar of her name.
Silently or aloud,
chant her glorious name at avery step,
drinking the inebriation sweetness,
Kali, Kali, Kali.
You are a simpleminded poet
suited to this simple way.

Her living name is a fountain of delight,
streaming with to ambrosia of timeless awareness.
Chant this name ten thousand times each day,
countion with your fingers.
Is this too difficult a task,
O foolish one who sings her songs?

Listen with inward ear to the music
of her wisdom, taaching all creation.
With inward eye visualize her brilliant name,
flowing across your heart in letters of molten gold.
Free from shame or hesitation,
this poet lover pleads with everyone:
"Please pass your lifetime repeation Ma! Ma! Ma!
Entrust your breath and being to the Mother!"

Muslim Wisdom - The light of God

Muslim Wisdom

The light of God is an ornament of wisdom.
That is the meaning of "light upon light."
The light of reason draws toward the earth.
The light of God carries you aloft.
Things of reason are of the lower world.
The light of God is an ocean,
reason merely a dewdrop.

-Rumi, "Mathnawi"
