RELIGION, SPIRITUALITY AND THE MODERN WORLD |
|
| What
religion has aggressively promoted a belief in the Divine Mother?
What form of religious fundamentalism or exclusivism has ever been
made in the name of the Goddess? Who could ever kill people in the
name of a God named Mother? What Mother would ever allow her
children to be killed or hurt, no matter how much they may have
fallen? What Mother would condemn her own children as sinners? Who
could say "believe in the Divine Mother or you must be killed
or go to an eternal hell?" Not surprisingly Hinduism, the
world's major religion that has honored the Goddess, has seldom
promoted religious hostility, and has never created such ideas as
eternal damnation.
The female is the form side of the Divine. Woman represents the Divine embodied. Her worship requires the creation of appropriate forms in which to revere her. We must once again create images of the Divine Mother to allow her healing grace, which is essential for world peace, to descend. Without acknowledging the forms of the Divine Mother our religions must be imbalanced and lead to various excesses in human behavior.
