Some say, of all the greatest Sacred Feminine Mysteries, womb and tomb are the most revered, as a pathway, opening or portal to the fertile darkness ...
What do they represent for you?
Where do they lead?

Re: Her Mysteries?
Wed, May 7, 2008 - 10:14 PMwomb and tomb....... It's a little disconcerting for me, like a whole lifetime in three words.
tomb and womb... switched up like that I think of reincarnation, the passage and the new beginning, or continuing on. The wheel... rebirth, another turn to heal or mend or make things worse.
womb seems much the same to me tonight, in the sense that it's a beginning being sponsored, being carried inside of and given into another life.
Both seem like passages being handled, or cared for by someone. Given into life, womb, and given passage through death, tomb, into life.
I don't remember being born.

Thu, May 8, 2008 - 5:01 AMHopefully with the grace of Mother Divine, the kicking and screaming when you entered in the world will be the calm of equanimity and awareness when you leave the world.
It represents to me a continuum, a spiral, the eternal nature of the divine mother.
I also think about how there are so many wombs on every level of existence. The Mother has many. For example if you die and have to be re-born in the hell regions for a certain span to burn away karmas, it is said that you must be born from a demonic womb. I think of every eye that sees, every hand that moves, every mind that thinks, and every womb that produces to belong to the Mother Divine.
I will think more about this, and give more later. -

"Hopefully with the grace of Mother Divine, the kicking and screaming when you entered in the world will be the calm of equanimity and awareness when you leave the world."
That would be lovely, and kicking and screaming on the way out is a definite possibility if I don't wake up a bit more. :)
"It represents to me a continuum, a spiral, the eternal nature of the divine mother".
Well said Rasa... -

Sun, May 11, 2008 - 3:18 PMyeah, I agree... a passage ... I see both womb and tomb as intrinsically intertwined, unless one is no longer bearing the fruits of their karma, though that is why most of us are here on Earth :: to work off our karma, so human birth goes round and round on the wheel of life. -

Re: Her Mysteries?
Sun, May 11, 2008 - 6:37 PMI see them as places of transformation. In those places we transform from what we were to what we are going to become. Whether it's human child or worm food all humans must play their part of transformation in these places.
What I find very interesting is that some people do not revere these places unless there is a human inside of them. Without that second consciousness element those places are dirty and frightening. Mothers are sacred, whores are not. Funerals are important occasions, graveyards are scary. The duality strikes me as odd because both are one in the same yet your perception is the only thing that is being altered.
Her mysteries are the altaringof your perceptions to take in both the sacred and the profane. -

Yesterday, 1:36 PM>> "What I find very interesting is that some people do not revere these places unless there is a human inside of them."
It is interesting that one may possess a human body though may not be fully human. maybe this a throw back to the past as we all have a part of our brain that is animal or reptilian, while some on earth still have animalistic tendencies and it seems to be the case that they haven't quite evolved to be fully human yet.
When I've been able to be in the presence of an evolved soul, what I have found very striking is that they have dispassion towards all and do not seek comfort over sorrow, or pleasure over pain, since I suppose eventually one comes to realize that all things of impermanence rest in sorrow and are fleeting... in this way, graveyards and smashans (burning grounds) are sought to overcome aversions to such places and for practicing dispassion.
Perceptions and reactions can easily become attachments and aversions, and all can be be entanglements of the mind -- when we want to evolve, they must be overcome.
Om Shanti
adya
