I am slain. My heart wide open. I love Wolfgang, miss him, feel him here in my heart through these voices. I am in love with these three siblings who sing from pure heart and simplicity. LISTEN! These are the voices of Love, the Love that is emerging through chaos and division to bring in New Earth. Thank you "Life in 3D".

Excerpt from “From a Hidden Stream: The Natural Spiritual Authority of Woman”
by Vajra Ma

A Time for Durga

Women—hear the call of the Goddess within you:

A TIME FOR DURGA

Myths are truths which manifest on many levels. Most of the
myths we are familiar with today reflect actual historical events
played out and depicted on an over-arching scale. We have seen
how many of these paint heroic pictures of rather despicable actions
to justify or even deify the unnatural authoritarian might established
by conquerors and oppressors.

On the other end of the mythological spectrum are myths like
the one of the great Hindu Goddess Durga. It illustrates what happens
when all else fails, when the paradigm of conquest and might
fails and opposites have lost their vitality to transmute into each
other. When the opposites are mired in dualistic opposition, only
the Goddess, the Feminine Power can resolve the situation.

In the myth of Durga the gods and demons have been in prolonged
battle, neither side gaining. The gods finally acknowledge
the stalemate, that they cannot of themselves prevail. They combine
their forces and call upon Durga, the Supreme Goddess. Durga
appears and grants their request to defeat the demons. She goes to
battle, serenely astride the lion, Her many arms, each equipped
with a superlative weapon. After decimating the hordes of demons,
she faces the final enemy, the leader of them all. Durga raises Her
spear and thrusts it unerringly into the heart of the demon.

The myth of Durga is a myth of our time.

The resurgence of the Feminine Power will provide the power
we need to pierce the demons of the modern era, spiritual ignorance,
rapacious greed and violence. The desecration and ravaging
of our Mother Source, Woman and Earth.

Durga’s victory blow is a direct piercing of the heart. The Great
Cosmic Mother asserts her supreme female power and authority,
the only power that can pierce the heart of the demon.

This is the time for Durga in every Woman.

02/29/2020

[Interviewer]
February 28. 2020
We're just asking Coronavirus: "What is your relationship to humanity and what is it that you want?"
[Answer]
My intent - and probably my purpose - is to show humanity boundaries. And specifically I am not saying a boundary but boundaries. I have a territory. I have a relationship. And that is, for example, bats. My relationship is not a relationship of hate or destruction. Because as the relationship of a victim to a lion. There's that story about the man who got nailed by a lion and found while he was being mauled by the lion. a deep peace enveloping him. Right. So my relationship to these creatures that I interact with is not one of hate and destruction. It's a relationship. And that in itself has a quality that is beyond adjectives.
I want nothing from humans. absolutely nothing. If I think of what my intent is toward humans I draw a blank. I want nothing. What happens is that humans disrupt the relationship. What happens after that is that into that vacuum that I was trying to explain - it's funny "explain" the vacuum - my characteristics get sucked into that vacuum turbo-charged. If you imagine a space capsule and you blow a hole in it, you get sucked out of it at high speed. High pressure. These characteristics of mine get sucked into that vacuum of where I shouldn't be, into which humans, humanity, human stupidity should not have imported me. Out of their ignorance, out of their unwillingness to respect boundaries. So. I have no game plan. I'm as uncomfortable in that vacuum . . . I don't want to be there. But there's no game plan. And there's not even now a willingness, an awareness of creating a relationship with me. While at the least I could expect after being sucked into that vacuum, that I'm acknowledged as something to have relationship with, co-responsible. Talk to me. Receive me, instead of. just trying to manage something, mismanage rather, lie about. The individual people who are affected by the symptoms I've created, by me in that vacuum - I always have to preface it: this is not a desired relationship on anyone's part. I'm not some kind of animal and wants to chomp and devour and get fat on all the people I make sick and kill. That's not whatever what my intent, my purpose, my game plan on that. My, I almost said 'excursion' but it's nothing like leisure travel, into that vacuum is not something I want. But at least acknowledge, acknowledge my being more than 'it'.
[Interviewer] And that's what we're doing, Coronavirus. We're talking to you now, and appreciate the information very much. You are not our enemy. You are your own being within your own bounds and we've acknowledge that right here and now. We acknowledge that. And we appreciate that. And we would like to know, what we can do, the two of us, and others can do to remedy this for you in a good way for you and for us. Is there something we can do? [end interviewer]
A change of attitude is central. Acknowledge exactly what you just acknowledged. That it is not an antagonistic relationship. Teach people, that this is a matter of "I don't want to be here." I don't have a strategy. I have nothing to gain. I'm not an enemy My consciousness is not designed to be where I am today, to cause what my characteristics cause. (I'm specifically not saying "what I cause")
However, having said all that, if given the " assignment" you may say, of having my characteristics cause what they cause, to try and - almost said teach humanity - allow humanity to evolve into a consciousness. which so far none of the preceding catastrophes have managed. I accept the part. Sounds ambivalent because it is ambivalent.
[Interviewer] Yeah.
So what do I want? Acknowledge boundaries. Acknowledge what happens between animals and humans, and meat production, and mono-cultures. It is all the same boundary that is being trashed.
Relationship. Relationship, you know, instead of violating boundaries, disregarding sentient character of all of nature, you know. You screw up nature, you're done. So that's opposite. Awareness needs to evolve. That's basically it.
[Interviewer]
We need to respect boundaries. We need to respect the fact that relationship is created by boundaries. We need to respect the relationship and we do respect you. And where your natural place is. And we will do what we can to communicate that to others. Thank you.

note: It is established that the coronavirus comes from bats as sold in exotic 'wild meat' markets. [Interviewer] February 28. 2020 We're just asking Coronav...
