The active Mother (Shakti) stands on the inactive Father (Shiva)
(Concluded from Part 1, yesterday.)
She also confirmed the following important equation with me. It may be somewhat troublesome for some people and I regret any upset it may cause.
Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva = Creator, Preserver, Transformer = Rajas, Sattwa, Thamas
The first three terms are the Trimurthy; the second three are functional descriptions; and the third are the cosmic forces or gunas. The Mother confirmed that they are all the same.
Since the Mother herself is the Creator, Preserver and Transformer of the worlds, it’s safe to say that the guns are a subset of the Mother.
Here’s a discussion of that, which may not interest people unfamiliar with the gunas:
Steve Beckow: I have a question for you from our Hindu readers. They want to know if the gunas, the cosmic forces which are called rajas, sattwa, and thamas, are the same as the Trimurthy [Triad] of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.
Divine Mother: Yes. We are the same as that triad.
SB: And the Trimurthy of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva is a subset of the Universal Creative Vibration that you are at your essence. Is that correct?
DM: That is correct. [The Trimurthy] is much the same as we have been speaking of. It is a way in which my beloved children can come to know me and to have that experience.
It is formless, and yet it is form. It is a way of connection, and it is a way of understanding and entering into a higher vibration of being. So it helps the emergence into my energy.
SB: Sort of like stair steps?
DM: That is correct. (1)
“We are the same”: She has confirmed that the gunas are a subset of her; specifically, of her energy as the universal creative vibration which we know as Aum or Amen. Aum is not coterminous with the Mother; nothing that is or isn’t is. The Mother uses the Aum vibration to create worlds.
But look again, in our hunt for identities. Let’s take our quest further. Let’s divide the sine wave that Aum is into its components: A-U-M = Akar, Ukar, and Makar. And what are they? We find they are the forces of creation, preservation, and transformation again.
At the risk of blowing everyone’s circuits with complexity, we now have the following, extended but very useful statement of equality:
Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva = Creator, Preserver, Transformer = Rajas, Sattwa, Thamas = Akar, Ukar, Makar (AUM) = all a subset of the Mother.|
The two equations suggested here strike me as basic identities in a cross-cultural spirituality.
“The macrocosm and the microcosm rest in the Mother’s womb; now do you see how vast it is?” Sri Ramakrishna asked us. (2) Indeed, we do.
The Mother herself has confirmed with me that she’s much “larger” than our version of “Shakti.”
Divine Mother: When I have spoken about … Shakti, I have spoken about a part of me. As I have said, I am the bridge. I am the clasp between the Father and the universe and your world. And Shakti has been experienced — yes, inter-dimensionally for eons, as you well know – but she is not the totality of my being. My being is bigger than you can fathom, dear one.
So I do not simply mean that she is an aspect manifesting. But it is simply larger than any of you can imagine, particularly at this point. (3)
The Divine Mother has said that she incarnated as Mary, Mother of Jesus
The Mother encompasses everything with form and beyond, everything material and beyond, and, as it turns out, everything knowable and beyond.
The Father cannot be known. We cannot approach the Father without knowledge of the Christ or Atman first; then knowledge of the Mother second; and at last we enter the unknowingness of the transcendental Father.
These are another form of stairsteps – because Ascension is beyond even these three sublime levels of existence. (4)
It turns out that these three entities are levels of consciousness. Or levels of love. Or levels of bliss. All roads lead Home, to the higher dimensions beyond the seven-chakra system.
So for the benefit of all devotees of the Mother on Navaratri, this is the most up-to-date account I can give you on the nature of the Mother and the Trinity and their relation to our Ascension.
Happy Navaratri!
Happy New Year!
Jai Ma!

(4) Which enlightenment experiences happen at the fourth, sixth, and seventh chakras.
Ascension occurs beyond the seven-chakra system. The opening of the seventh chakra or Sahasrara leads to Brahmajnana or God-Realization, a transcendental experience. But it’s still only halfway up the mountain.
Beyond it is Sahaja Samadhi, which is the culmination of our Ascension. Sahaja is a permanent heart opening and is known as mukti or moksha, liberation from Third-Dimensional birth and death.
