Preparing the Body, Mind, and Soul, for the Great Transformation in Human Consciousness; Living, Learning, and Building Harmonious Relationships With All Aspects of Creation The Three Mothers The
Three Mothers represent the 3 aspects of Creation as
manifest through
the Principles of the Divine Feminine.
These 3 aspects are the Principle of Divine Conception/Manifestation, Gestation/Sustenance, and Death/Transformation. Conception, Gestation, Birth, Death, Transformation, Sustenance... Each aspect is an important element of the nature of Creation, which initiates Creation into Manifest Form, Sustains and Nurtures Creation in Manifest Form, and Transforms, or Destroys that which is in Manifest Form, in order to make room for, or give birth to, new Creation. These 3 aspects of Creation are tangible in all cycles of life as visible in the manifest world. These Principles are, also, witnessed in cultures the world over. Many cultures recognize and honor the Harmonious Balance of the Principals of Masculine and Feminine aspects of life, necessary to the integral manifestation and revelation of Life. Even, as seen, in this Celtic Trinity of the Divine Feminine, one sees the three fold Vesica Pisces, often seen, and honored, as an image of the Divine Feminine. The Vesica Pisces, itself, represents the doorway or portal into the Divine Feminine, and is known, also, to represent the Yoni, the entrance into the vulva, known in mystical, and tantric circles, as a portal into deeper mysteries, and other worlds of being. Yet, it is representational of an aspect of the Seed of Life, and eventual Flower & Tree of Life, which incorporates and represents the perfect Union of Divine Masculine and Feminine Principles of All Life, as it permeates through all Manifestations of the Creative Principle. While we shall discuss this balance of the Powers of Consciousness and Life Force, and how it is integral to bringing All Life into manifest form, we will focus on the Divine Feminine, the Three Mothers, in this practice. In Hindu Mysticism, they are the Principles of Saraswati, Lakshmi, and Parvati, or Shakti. In Celtic Wisdom, they are the Maiden, Mother, and Crone. In Christian Mysticism, they may be represented by the Three Mary's, three Feminine Beings who were very close to, and integral to, the life of Yeshua; his mother Mary, his partner Mary Magdalene, and the mysterious third Mary, who is represented as his Aunt, Sister, or sister of Martha, in various theological literature. In Hebraic Wisdom, she is Shekinah, the Bride, the manifest Face of God, veiled behind the High Altar of each Temple, Binah, the luminous being of Understanding, and Chokmah, the face of luminous Wisdom. These Feminine Beings give access to the Gateways of the Highest Realms of Consciousness, such as the Elohim and Seraphim in Jewish Mysticism. Indeed, it is the Feminine which is the Portal into Other Worlds, and into the very Heart of Creation, the secrets of nourishment and manifestation, and of Life itself. This, certainly, is in part, why we are working with, and honoring the 3 Prinicipals of the Divine Mother here this weekend. They shall come with their voices, manifest from the Celestial Realms, for all to correspond, make connection, honor, and receive the guidance, nurturance, and wisdom of, as each participant is ready, and sees fit to do. We shall have the opportunity to enter the deep spaciousness of the Realms of the Divine Feminine. There will be sacred chant. Zacciah will guide us in esoteric practices, utilizing the special initiatory process and powers of Sacred Sound Transmissions, which allow us to directly perceive the wisdom and blessings generated through the practices. We shall peer into our own relationship with our own mother, this week before Mother's Day, immersed in the sacred energies of Beltane, to see where we hold power and connection to the Feminine, or where we have had imposed upon us disempowering thoughts and belief mechanisms which may isolate us and keep us from feeling the eternal love of the Mother. Indeed, how our relationship with our own Mother has impacted us, can set the tone of our ability to connect to the Divine Feminine, and the Sacred Mothers awaiting us at that doorstep. And we shall continue the Waters of the World ceremonies, bringing, blessing, and receiving, our own waters, from our homelands, to mix with that from sacred sites around the world, and bless with our prayers for healing for this entire planet, to carry back with us and share with the Earth through her waters, where we live, and travel. This weekend, we shall have the rare opportunity to blend our prayers and voices with the voices of three of the great Sacred Ceremonial Drums, built by Alan Stonewolf, in honor of the Earth Mother, to be used exactly for purposes such as these. We each shall have the opportunity to play, collectively, with Alan and other DrumCarriers, on these sacred drums, singing our heart prayers into the Earth, and Waters of the Earth, which will be shared after the ceremonies' completion, to share back with the World. Zacciah pulls the wisdom of the Mothers from numerous traditions he has been initiated in, from the Indigenous Americas, to Hinduism, Qabbalism, Tibetan Buddhism, Mystical Christianity, Taoism, and Egyptian Mysticism. The Mothers which arise from each of these traditions bring much richness to the practice. And, he shall bring through, in his Sacred Sound Transmissions, the Power of any or each of these: Tara, Quan Yin, Mary, Mary Magdalene, Innana, Shekinah, Isis, Hat'or, Sekhmet, and many other streams of the Divine Feminine, which manifest through the many cultural lineages. In his own personal evolution, it is, especially, through the Egyptian Lineages of Hat'or, Isis, and Sekhmet, the voices, and powers of the Feminine have touched, and taught him.

For
additional information on the background of this entire series of
programs see The Great Awakening,
as well as our many Articles. The foundation of these programs is constantly updated from information arising from the Star Elders. Living Wisdom Keepers, & others guiding this work. Though constantly evolving, practical exercises to enter awakened lucid states of consciousness (what is also refered to as enlightenment, or ascended states of consciousness,) will be offered, utilizing Sacred Sound, which will enhance the participants experience significantly. These are being offered, also, at a time in deep correspondence to the Maya Calendar days of great Transformation, Awakening, and Renewal. We are in a time when a new window of opportunity is opening for human consciousness to more readily access understanding and experience of the Unity of Creation. This is fundamental understanding to this entire period of time, and will be specific to our practice. |

This
program is facilitated by, Zacciah
Blackburn, PhD, a highly skilled intuiive teacher and
guide in sound healing and esoteric awareness practices for true
awakening of consciousness. He has worked in the field for
over 3
decades, offers a 3 year program in therapeutic sound healing
practices, and teaches internationally a variety of esoteric trainings
in consciousness and earth healing practices. He is Director of Education for the International Sound Healing Network. Zacciah's work has long focused on the emerging transformation of human consciousness. This work, The Great Awakening, continues a series of programs explicit to this new era of awakening which humanity is entering, with explicit steps to assist in this personal and collective awakening, long prophecied by many cultures of the world. The Great Awakening will offer keen insight into the nature of this incredible threshold of awakening, upon which humanity stands poised, as well as offer each participant a vehicle which can transport us into other worlds of understanding, experience, and self knowledge. These experiences are especially heightened via the art of Sacred Sound Transmissions, through which Zacciah brings the sounds and voices of Holy Beings from other realms of consciousness, into our present environ, which can heighten our sense of Living Reality. The vast majority of participants find these experiences extraordinarily enriching, life altering, and deeply transformative. At the same time, participants are left with practical exercises to carry into their every day lives.
