Borobudur: World Holy Site
Q&A
(There are many
religions, but only One Mother)
Goddesses of Borobudur |
BACK TO THE ORIGIN
Q: Buddha's as
"Son/Lovers" of the Mother. Isn't this male dominance, once again?
Dewi Kartini, Jogja
A: Not at all. Remember.
Contrary to Shakyamuni the New Buddha's aren't the "last authority" anymore.
They are Her executives, teaching "in the Name of the Mother". Maitreya is the
main example of this.
Moreover: Her "function" is destruction of (male!) ego
(including those female ego's who nowadays have identified with the patriarchal system...)
Furthermore, She is manifesting Herself in numerous Goddesses, all
positively emphasizing all levels of Existence
The Buddha's of Borobudur are Her seekers, helpers and guards.Her Womb
(Great Stupa) is the center, while the Buddha's are grouped around Her
All this is leading to a "feminine" (holistic) world view,
including unity in diversity, interconnectedness, love, respect, justice, mutuality and
community! |

At Borobudur the Buddha's are NOT the center of

THIS PAGE IS DESIGNED ESPECIALLY
FOR YOU. PLEASE ASK YOUR QUESTION AND I WILL TRY TO ANSWER IT |
To the contrary, those of levels three, four
and five are the guardians to the Mother |
Q: Everything
you say sounds so INCREDIBLY LOGIC. To which school of Buddhism do you belong?
Mark Short, USAA:
It is not my wisdom, but the insights granted to me by the Cosmic Mother through Her
Revelation in 1977*. By the way, She wants you to be a Buddha, not a Buddhist
* See: "Threefold Realization" |
All looking outward! This to share their Enlightened
State with the world |
Q:
There are people who emphasize the "God within" (spirituality) and those who
believe in a "God without" (religion). How can they be reconciled?
Jessica, Los AngelesA:
God is Omni-Present. His (Its) Eternal Light is penetrating everything and all, without
exception. So, going within you will find Him (It), and going without you'll find Him
(It). Spirituality and religion are two sides of the same coin. |
Big Brother is watching you (joke) |
Q:
Monotheists say: there is only One God. Polytheists say: there are many Gods. Atheists say
there is nothing. This was already pretty confusing. Now you are adding a
"Mother" to it. My question: what is the relationship between these players?
Bruno Bär, Germany
A: The Mother is
simplyfying everything! She is the Vacuum ("Womb") giving birth to the Eternal
Light (the One God). The latter is Her first emanation. Since they exist on different
levels, there is no competition between the two. She is beyond God ( Absolute Emptiness)
while "He" represents Full-Emptiness. Mother's second emanation are the
intermediairy heavenly beings, forms, ideas (Plato) or energies, also called
"Gods" and "Goddesses". Since they exist on a "lower" level,
they don't compete with the One God, either. Finally, Her third emanation is the material
world. All levels peacefully co-existing e.g. interacting with each other. The Cosmos can
therefore be seen as an integrated "Whole", where everything is complementary
without "biting each other". |
