No other subject stirs me more than exploring the nature of the Divine Mother.
It’s an impenetrable mystery, the understanding of which gives the devotee everything they ever wanted. Knowledge of her, King Solomon said, is more valuable than rubies.
The Mother can be known; the Father cannot be “known.” All knowledge must cease for the Father to be “known.”
The Divine Mother is God in God’s aspect as creator, preserver, and transformer of the world of form.
Many people consider the material or physical world to extend only as far as the Third Dimension. But I think anything considered distinct from the Father lies in the material world, the world of illusion, what Hindus call “Maya.”
The word “multiverse” seems the best way to describe the Mother’s domain.
What is the Divine Mother? Maybe I can use the gender metaphor and say that the Mother is the obverse of the Father, the other side, the other face. Or perhaps that the Mother is the Father in movement; the Father is the Mother at rest. Mother/Father God as a totality describes the One.
The best attempt I’ve seen to portray the Father and Mother.
Because I intend to make a study of the Mother, I went through the back issues of the Golden Age of Gaia and the Council of Love website for all the articles I could find, from Linda (Dillon)’s channeling, on the Divine Mother. I arranged them in a Bibliography.
Plus for the same unbeatable price (free), I’ve thrown in a Bibliography of all the articles I’ve written on the Mother.
If you’re seriously bitten by the virus of divine love for the One who gave us birth, then, here are two more sources:
Everything from here down to the end of quotes on the Mother, starting from:
Still hungry? Then go here, everything down:

This bibliography goes back to 2012. Later I’ll dig deeper.
