‚Mutu qabla anta mutu – Die before death’ "Only those who lose themselves attain the peace of the Lord." To see the Divine Mother, men must not exist.

This is some of what my Lord has taught me (Qur’an, Sura Yusuf 12:37)
Fire & Time + Love & Heart  What is needed for the healing of the Earth is: 'Fire of the Holy Spirit' {Inspiration} & 'Time' {tavistock-working-conference}. Even more essential for Planetary Consciousness, however, is the Inner space: the heart. After all, the women, Mary-like¹, self-reflect in dialogue – thoughtfully connecting the scene and all the spoken words in their minds, holding a self-conversation – is one thing. But that they then, through love, carefully preserve in the cauldron – the Grail chalice of creation – that which they have not yet understood – and which remains eternally present and alive – in anticipation of being united in the heart²: that is peace. The man’s Eucharist {communio with the 'flesh and blood of Christ'} concerns the spiritual plane and religious-cultural life; 'the woman’s wedding' the physical plane and the social life on planet Earth.

¹But Mary treasured up all these things
and pondered them in her heart. (Luke 2:19)

²Then Jesus went down to Nazareth with his parents and was obedient to them.
But his mother treasured all these things in her heart. (Luke 2:51)

"The inclination of a man is evil from his youth" (Genesis 8:21) and "the more he increases spiritually, the greater his evil inclination becomes" (Talmud Suka 52), "the sacrificial wine of 'marital love' robs him of his reason and the spirit of fornication leads him astray: Curses and deceit, murder, theft and adultery run rampant¹, one bloody deed follows another"². That is why women become lionesses: "like panthers they lie in wait by the wayside and pounce on men like a she-bear whose cubs have been stolen" (Hosea 13:7). "For all are ranks determined according to what they have done, so that He may fully recompense them for their deeds. And they shall not be wronged. And on the day when those who disbelieve are brought before the fire: You have consumed and enjoyed your delights in this worldly life. Today you shall be recompensed with a humiliating torment for your repeated unjust arrogance on earth and for your repeated transgressions." (Qur’an 46,19-20)

¹You have the devil as your father, and you want to do what your father desires. He was a murderer from the very beginning. And he does not stand in the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks what comes naturally to him, for he is a liar and the father of lies. But you do not believe me because I speak the truth. Which of you can prove that I have committed a sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe me? Whoever is of God hears the words of God; you do not hear them because you are not of God. (John 8:44-47)

²Hear the word of the Lord, O sons of Israel! For the Lord brings a charge against the inhabitants of the land: there is no faithfulness, no love, and no knowledge of God in the land. Instead, cursing and deceit, murder, theft and adultery are rampant; one act of bloodshed follows another. Therefore the land shall wither away, and all who dwell in it shall perish, along with the beasts of the field and the birds of the sky; even the fish of the sea shall perish. Yet it is not just anyone who is accused, nor is it just anyone who is rebuked; but it is you, O priest, whom I accuse. In broad daylight you will fall, and just as you do, the prophet will fall in the night. I will also bring your mother to ruin. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priest. You have forgotten the teaching of your God; therefore I also will forget your sons. The more they increased, the more they sinned against me. They exchange their honour for shame. They feed on the sin of my people and are greedy for their wicked sacrifices. Therefore, the priest shall suffer as the people do: I shall punish him for his conduct; I shall repay him for his deeds. They may eat, but they shall not be satisfied; they commit fornication, but they shall not increase. Indeed, they have forsaken the Lord and given themselves over to unchastity. The wine of sacrifice robs my people of their sense: they consult their wooden idol, they expect answers from their wooden pole. Indeed, the spirit of lewdness leads them astray. They have forsaken their God and have become like a prostitute. (Hosea 4:1-12)

"Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will proclaim your glory. You do not desire sacrifices; I would give them to you; you take no pleasure in burnt offerings. The sacrifice that pleases God is a contrite spirit; a broken and beaten heart, you, O God, will not despise. In your favour, do good to Zion; rebuild the walls of Jerusalem! Then you will also take pleasure in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings; then bulls will be sacrificed on your altar." (Psalm 51:18–21; 'Miserere' by Allegri, Mozart, KV 85). 'Dharma, the word born of His grace, is the mythological bull that maintains creation in harmony. Whoever understands this becomes truthful.' (Jap Ji Sahib, commentary by Sant Kirpal Singh). “And a lament arose from the soul of the bull: 'That I, as a provider, must endure the ineffective word of a powerless man, whilst my desire is directed towards a mighty ruler. When will there be one who grants him powerful help?'" Zarathustra, Yasna 29: The soul of Mother Earth lamented to you.

To the Muslims: "Pray to Fatima, the Immaculate Heart; implore her and ask that She may grant you the treasure of Her Spirit, so that you may walk blamelessly and purely in all Her commandments and fulfil every righteousness of the Holy Spirit purely and perfectly, by virtue of the heavenly treasure, which is Christ Himself" (Macarius the Great). A man who possesses this treasure – 'What you have inherited from your fathers, acquire it so that you may possess it' (Goethe) – and then, like Rama, when his wife Sita, his cultural soul, found the treasure of the Holy Spirit and conveyed Him to 'Buddha as the women', every righteousness of the commandments is effective, every virtue is practised in an irreproachable and pure manner, without having to force oneself, and indeed with great ease. This is the situation to which Muhammad, peace be upon him, referred when he said: "I am the knowledge, and Ali is the door."

Thesis – Antithesis – Synthesis "The old church 'Fundamentalism' was distorted by water {the pious sensuality of women}; the present world is reserved for the flames of men’s spiritual eros, for the fire on the Day of Judgement, when the godless will perish. The proverb applies to them: the dog returns to its vomit; the washed sow wallows in the dirt again; therefore the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were burned to ashes and condemned to destruction." Epistle of Peter.

Poetry, Alchemy and Science  "The washed sow wallows in the dirt again; the dog returns to its vomit" (2 Peter 2,22)¹; it is about dry deserts and hearts grown cold² – how starkly the bible expresses it! When men become accustomed to 'luggish women' or grow resistant to 'irritable femininity', we must refer back to 'Mary, the Bodhisattva', discovering Her as remedy (Redemptoris Mater), and thereby identifying further 'molecules' (i.e. archetypes) and 'active substance' (essences of the Holy Spirit) in order to foster the sense of love.

¹Like a dog that returns to its vomit,
so is a fool who repeats his folly. (Proverbs 26,11)

The wild boar from the forest uproots the vine,
and the beasts of the field devour it. (Psalm 80,14)

²Then the Lord my God will come, and all the saints with him.
On that day there will be no light, but cold and frost. (Zechariah 14,6)

"Jesus drove all the traders and buyers out of the temple; he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the stalls of the pigeon sellers, and said: It is written: My house shall be a house of prayer. But you have made it a den of thieves. John’s disciples heard him speak and followed him. When he saw that they were following him, he asked them, What do you want? They said to him, Rabbi – that is to say, Master – where do you live? He replied, Come and see! So they went with him and saw where he lived, and stayed with him."¹ "In the east there is the dwelling of a Bodhisattva; his name is 'Diamond Excellence'. He has three hundred Bodhisattvas as his retinue 'and always preaches the holy teaching'. In the south there is the dwelling of a Bodhisattva named 'Wisdom of the Matter Itself'. He has five hundred Bodhisattvas in his retinue [and constantly preaches the sacred teaching]. In the west lies the abode of a Bodhisattva named 'The Deeds of the Fearless Lion'. And he has three hundred Bodhisattvas in his retinue…. In the north lies the abode of a Bodhisattva named 'Incense Elephant'. He has three thousand Bodhisattvas in his retinue. In the north-east is the abode of a Bodhisattva named 'All-Blessed'. And he has ten thousand Bodhisattvas as his retinue…. In the south-east is the abode of a Bodhisattva named 'Heavenly Crown'. And he has a thousand Bodhisattvas as his retinue…. In the south-west is the abode of a Bodhisattva named ‘Wisdom Head’. And he has three thousand Bodhisattvas as his retinue…. In the north-west is the abode of a Bodhisattva named 'Incense Radiance'. He has five thousand Bodhisattvas as his retinue and always preaches the holy teaching." Kegon Sutra: Hua Yen Sutra, Avatamsaka Sutra /Flower Garland Sutra.

¹It is written: 'My house shall be a house of prayer.' But you have made it a den of thieves. The lame and the blind came to him in the temple, and he healed them. When the chief priests and the scribes saw the miracles he was performing, and heard the children in the temple shouting, 'Hosanna to the Son of David!', they were indignant and said to him: 'Do you hear what they are shouting?' Jesus replied, 'Yes, I hear it. Have you never read: "From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise"?' And leaving them there, he went out of the city to Bethany, where he spent the night. (Matthew 21:13–17)

Gloria in excelsis Deo  The feminine becoming still in the height of God's knowledge, the state of being divine, allows the masculine to descend into the depths of a consciousness of community, attuning the soul of the feminine to that resonance in which the male heart succeeds in bestowing 'the kiss of the prince', awakening »Sleeping Beauty« to the motivation of its soul. For it is only through love that the austere intellect of 'women-global-ethics' is ready to express itself in that harmony, playing the symphony of life which is the planetary spirit of humaneness.

Hymn  Come and see: The holy feminine is pure in the world; the creative soul of the masculine is pure in the universe. The holy feminine sees and is not seen; the cultural-creative soul of the masculine sees and is not seen. So come now, all you souls who see and are not seen: Praise the holy feminine; blessed be the glory of Her kingdom for evermore! Mishna Debarim Rabba II.V.5.

Epistle to the Corinthians 7:4 'The Laws of Holy Matrimony'
"It is not the woman who has authority over her body, but the man {see Niklaus von Flüe and Dorothea}. Likewise, it is not the man who has authority over his body, but the woman" {see Elizabeth and the priest Zechariah}¹. And mindful of the hour, a watchman calls out the number (Hölderlin, Bread and Wine).

¹When his time of service in the temple was over, he returned home. Soon afterwards, his wife Elizabeth gave birth to a son, and she remained in seclusion for five months.
She said: 'The Lord has helped me; he has looked upon me with favour in these days and has delivered me from the disgrace with which I was burdened in the eyes of the people.' (Luke 1:23–25)

When He reveals Himself, there is no 'other'; when He veils himself, everything is an 'other'. (Ibn Arabi). True discourse must reveal women’s will to spiritual truth, which imbues them. On the other hand, the will to truth that compels women is such that the men whom women hold in high esteem cannot but veil Her. 'A certain kind of knowledge allows one to master a discourse, and this discourse is both subject and instrument of the fulfilment of desire, because discourse is not merely that which translates struggles or systems of domination into language: it is that for which and with which one struggles; it is the power one seeks to seize' (Foucault, The Order of Discourse, Frankfurt, Fischer TB 1991). Therefore, rather than inquiring into the origin of suffering, dialogue must uncover the spiritual origins of discursive formations: the Immaculate Heart.

"Bodhisattva is the most exalted elixir that overcomes the dominion of death, the inexhaustible treasure that eliminates poverty in the world, the supreme medicine that cures all the diseases of the world. Bodhisattva is the tree that gives protection to all beings who are tired of wandering on the path of conditioned existence, the great bridge, that leads to freedom from birth in lower realms, the rising moon of the mind that dissolves the torments of constant concepts, the mighty sun that finally dispels the mists of delusion in the world." Shantideva: A Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life.

When does the farmwoman begin her work? – When the moon is waxing. This means that from the moment women begin to grow more intelligent, learning from the Cultural-Creatives, they begin to recognise the sense of love. When does the farmer rest from his work? – During the waning moon. This means that as soon as men, through spiritual study and the acquisition of knowledge, come into resonance with the »Immaculata«, they begin to find their rest in God. Then the question arises: What do the farmer and the farmwoman do at night? – And the answer is: They keep watch; which means concentrating on their ideal and their purpose of life, anchoring this ideal in the spirit and thus eradicating false impressions and eliminating all that is undesirable: sowing the good to make this life, which is God’s acre, fruitful and to enjoy it by exploring, cultivating and making it fruitful, whereby the sense of love is fulfilled.

Within the male soul lies the power of a manifestation that transcends and lies beyond rational thought. The Divine Mother's understanding formulates a question and presents it to the intuition of the Creative Spirit, which then provides a truthful answer. Within this art, solutions and scientific facts are found through synthesis, and sudden discoveries are realised, a flash of the Creative Spirit; it can then even act immediately, heal psychoses, or, through inner vision, poetically bring forth »the gospel for the present age«. 'The neurotic, however, will know how to distort the sacred word with soulless thinking.' Charles Johnston, Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras.

Om-Ah-Hum: On the Unified-Being of the Divine Feminine and the Great King
The Great Mother -OM- is Mistress of Interreligious Dialogue: She stands for the message of 'John the Baptist' (the spiritual initiator), "No sharia!" and "Marriage is in the Lord". The Great Goddess -AH- teaches brotherhood and sisterhood [self-love and self-knowledge – being free within, not making oneself dependent on the opinions of others: this can move people once again to take care of our environment]. Saint Mary Magdalene -HUM- is the patroness of Transcultural Synthesis in the 'all-encompassing church', who, as a project for creativity, vigour and consciousness, teaches perfection in heaven. Women must love the formless Lord so that they may recognise the culture-creating spirit of men; only when men then also give their hearts women are inclined to satisfy their longing with love. First, a man must explain to the women in the community exactly what Planetary Consciousness consists of and that soul motivation is the foundation of Planetary Consciousness, and why it is important to approach dialogue with group-dynamic analytical methods. Then women are 'illuminated souls'.

The astral planes – imagining in cathedrals in the radiance of organ music – are usually more beautiful than the outer, physical world. 'Interreligious Sciences', the garden of the Divine Mother, is even more beautiful, because there peace is put into dialogue. 'Murad Hassil' – the temple of synthesis – possesses even greater beauty and bliss, because here there is healing and love of the Holy Spirit; whoever experiences this happiness once will be ready to go there too.

"It's not his shape, it's not his appearance, and it's not what he says. It is His atmosphere. It is that which communicates His presence to you, that which conveys His atmosphere to you. Now let your mind wander to Mount Kailas, to visit 'Shiva' as he sits there in samadhi, master over the physical and mental functions; while you are still psychologically hampered by addictions you cannot attune yourself to His consciousness, but the influence of His powerful being could help you overcome these addictions. – And as for 'Tathagata Buddha': reaching His consciousness would make you free, because He found freedom. But He is uncompromising, so you would have to give up not only your desires but to give up desires altogether. 'Krishna' is of course an anticipation of 'Christ': He is God who became a child and therefore human. To find his soul 'Sita' again, 'Rama' puts his animal nature entirely at the service of his heavenly nature." Hazrat Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan, Curriculum, Lesson 2 – Modes of Thinking [The Juliet Hollister Award 2004].

"When the sun is rolled up, and when the stars are dim, and when the mountains are set in motion, and when the pregnant camels are abandoned, and wild beasts are gathered together, and when the seas become a sea of fire, and when souls are paired, and when the girl buried alive is asked: 'For what crime were you slain?' And when the scriptures are rolled up widely, and the sky is drawn away, and Paradise is approached; then every soul will know what it has brought with it. – Where then do you wish to go? This is but a warning for all the worlds. For the one among you who wishes to be sincere. And you will not wish it, unless God wills it, the Lord of the Worlds." Qur’an 81,1-29.

What awakens sensitivity in women’s hearts is the element of love of illuminated souls within the 'Immaculate Heart of Mary'. This love is 'the living God'¹. If this is lacking within the community, 'Planetary Consciousness' remains buried in women’s hearts, as they are constantly preoccupied with their own feelings. Without the fruitful Holy Spirit of men, women remain absorbed in themselves; they find no time to think of humanity as a whole, their entire attention then being focused on their own feelings; feeling pity for themselves, they worry about their own pain: "Without the creative spirit of men, we shall never be ready to feel compassion for the sufferings of humanity!" But if the emotions of the human heart – anger, mourning, joy – are raised to the right measure in Interreligious Dialogue through transcultural psychosynthesis, 'the midwifery service of noble men' (Plato: Timaeus 149d-150d)], then one will fully understand how to distinguish what sort of men, as 'Mary' , must unite with what sort of mistresses, as 'Buddha', in order to become the most perfect beauty: children of Planetary Consciousness.²

¹We have placed our hope in the living God, the Saviour of all people,
especially of believers. You must instruct and teach this. (1 Timothy 4:10–11)

²At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked,
'Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?' He called a child over, placed it in their midst, and said,
'Amen, I say to you: unless you turn and become like children, you cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Whoever can become
as small as this child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. And whoever welcomes such a child in my name welcomes me.' (Matthew 18:1-5)

Rabbi Chama ben Chania, Babylonischer Talmud, Schabbat 133b. Traktat Sota 14a. (kinship)
We do not truly worship God until we see the divinity of the person standing right before us. What does it mean when it is written: "You shall follow the Lord your God"? Is it even possible for a human being to follow divinity? – follow the qualities of the holy one who is blessed! As he clothes the naked, cares for the sick, comforts the grieving, buries the dead… "We are destined to be like him, that is to say: to perfect from within ourselves the image in which we were created and which we carry within us, so that – not in this life – we may experience its fulfilment." (Martin Buber). Through mercy towards your neighbour, you are like God (Basil the Great): the bond of friendship is the bridge from heart to heart that leads you to the Infinite.
