AUTHENTICITY
I was made to be a weaving from so many colors. Do not deprive me of any. My song arises from the threads that do not match!

The great gift of this return of the Mother is passion, and it is the crucial need of our time. The patriarchal traditions have demonized passion as part of their extinction of the Divine Feminine. This degradation of the Divine Feminine has made those who experience passion, and who want to express passion, feel as if they are not holy. They are called “crazy,” “hysterical,” because what the patriarchy wants is a privatized god, an off-planet god to whom you can attune your whole being peacefully while serving the death machine that the patriarchy has created all over the world.

The return of the passion of the Mother, that is at once a passion for life and a passion for the service and work of healing compassion and justice that protect life, makes available to the human race both a revolutionary energy of empowered protest, an energy of “No!” to all the forces that are killing life, and a vast, creative “Yes!” to all the forces of divine tenderness and passion that are now trying to flood us, to help us wake up out of our coca-coma and galvanize our inner lives, galvanize our relationships, so that we can step up to the great task of saving the human race from extinction and enabling the great plan of God to go forward.
