(July 11, 2021) July 16, 2021 This 22-page extract will provide HALF THE SKY the detailed roadmap to complete their mission to bring about the greatest miracle of all by 2050. There is no question that “the Divine Woman is a concept foreign to the current monotheistic religions, and one to which there is great resistance.” Hindus, Buddhists, and Sikhs will resist Her. Even Jains, Bengalis, and Nepalese. I do not have to mention Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Their Yahweh, Father, Allah, Devi, Buddha, Waheguru, Durga and Kali are supreme, no matter the evidence to the contrary. If that is the case, as has been for millennia, how will it be possible for the few here to do the impossible within three decades? Is 2050 a lost cause that has no chance of fruition? Can HALF THE SKY succeed in projecting THE MOTHER (Brahman) onto human consciousness? Jesus, by sending the Holy Spirit in the Age that has Come, renders the patriarchal synagogues, churches, and mosques impotent of delivering eternal life. The DEVI, by sending the Adi Shakti in the Age of Kali Yuga, renders the patriarchal mandirs, temples, and gurdwaras impotent of delivering moksa. Why should anyone, especially women seek salvation from any god that degrades their divinity in one way or another? But THE MOTHER is far superior to all the gods of all religions, monotheistic or otherwise. She has returned after 5000 years by making all gods impotent during the Age that has Come. She is embedded in all the scriptures barring none. However, it is in the Bible that She is firmly entrenched as the Holy Spirit of the Resurrection. “Likewise, whenever a saying of Jesus refers to spirit, we must remember that he would have used an Aramaic or Hebrew word. In both of these languages, the same word stands for spirit, breath, air, and wind. So “Holy Spirit” must also be “Holy Breath.” The duality of spirit and body, which we often take for granted in our Western languages, falls away. If Jesus made the famous statement about speaking or sinning against the Holy Spirit (for instance, in Luke 12:10), then somehow Middle Eastern concept of breath is also involved.” (Douglas-Klotz 2020, 1) That quote above is from The Hidden Gospel: Decoding the Spiritual Message of the Aramaic Jesus. But no matter how much can be extracted from this book, or thousands of others about Jesus for the matter, none are written from the perspective of the Paraclete- https://mail.google.com/mail/u/1?ik=639796c6be&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-f%3A1705490576872912757&simpl=msg-f%3A17054905768… 1/5 7/16/2021 Gmail - THE MOTHER: THE MOTHER is 1% Father and 99% MOTHER, 1% Deva and 99% DEVI, 1% Half the Sky and 99% HALF THE… Holy Spirit completing His message, initiating the Cool Breeze of the Resurrection, and remaining within for all times. “If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Spirit, who will give you another Advocate [in the Age to Come] to help you and be with you forever— the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept Her, because it neither sees Her nor knows Her. But you know Her, for She lives with you and will be in you. John 14:15-17 He declared: “You know Her, for She now lives with you and will be in you forever.” Christians are unable to comprehend how that is possible since it means attaining life eternal on Earth itself, which is exactly the case. Those with ears that hear do realize that the resurrection of Christ is the particle-wave evolution of the Holy Spirit. Those who feel the Cool Breeze do understand that the eternal life of the Savior is the redemption of the Holy Breath. In the meantime, I have raised the bar at www.adishakti.org to challenge all Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Jains and others; those for whom "the Divine Woman is a concept foreign to the current monotheistic religions, and one to which there is great resistance.” It all comes down to dishonest disbelief. Dishonest disbelief is the norm for the tens of thousands of religious sects of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Jainism and others. They are all clinging to generations of inherited ignorance and centuries of religious conditioning. Jews, Christians, Muslims cannot accept anything other than graves bursting open in the future, even as the Resurrection continues in the Age that has Come. Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Jains and others want to continue waiting for moksa even though release is available in Kaliyuga. The reason for dishonest belief is that ears of Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Jains and others do not want to hear about the Divine Woman that Jenny Kien visualizes, one that HALF THE SKY must also visualize: “My concept of both the goddess and the Divine Woman is purely modern and is not a re- interpretation of the concepts behind the old goddesses of previous cultures. I do not use the term "Divine Woman" interchangeably with goddess as others have done, for the idea of goddess is only one part of my concept of the Divine Woman. For me, the Divine Woman comprises femaleness in Divinity (the goddess) and holiness in women, as well as the interaction between them. That is, the Divine Woman encompasses those aspects of the world emphasized by the femaleness of a woman- like goddess and the effects on society of calling Deity female. At the most abstract level, I imagine the goddess as the creative force of the universe, the force that makes the atoms dance and split, their particles moving between energy and matter, the force that makes the stars need to grow and create solar systems and the force that makes galaxies spread. She is the Life Force that makes species grow, evolve and differentiate, that makes organisms grow and cells divide, the Life Force that makes us grow and will to live. She is Life or Being itself, the principle of life, of movement, of development and change. She is immanent or all-present. As the Being in the Universe, she is everything there is, in the cosmos and on Earth.” (Kien 2000, 4-5) For THE MOTHER there is no Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, or Jainism. There are no Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, or Jains. There are no synagogues, churches, mosques, mandirs, temples, or gurdwaras. There are no Fathers, Pitas, Bhagwans, Allahs, Yahwehs, Gods, or consorts. THE MOTHER, already embedded in every scripture, reveals Her presence in Judaism (Messiah), Christianity (Holy Spirit), Islam (Ruh). Hinduism (Devi), Sikhism (Aykaa Mayee), Buddhism (Prajnaparamita), and Taoism (Tao). https://mail.google.com/mail/u/1?ik=639796c6be&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-f%3A1705490576872912757&simpl=msg-f%3A17054905768… 2/5 7/16/2021 Gmail - THE MOTHER: THE MOTHER is 1% Father and 99% MOTHER, 1% Deva and 99% DEVI, 1% Half the Sky and 99% HALF THE… THE MOTHER has strung together the patriarchal pearls of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism into a priceless necklace for those whose fathers cannot string them together. (March 26, 2020) “In the text, she first appears as a blazing light, symbolizing brahman, then transforms into a womanly figure, who is the Supreme Ruler Bhuvaneshvari.” (June 20, 2021) “Your Guru is a Woman! She is the source of all the knowledge. She is the Ocean of All the Knowledge.” HALF THE SKY “are the ones who are going to save the world, not the men… The whole Cosmos, just in complete respectful attendance, is waiting for their arrival… You are very important.” (June 22, 2021) One day THE MOTHER will remove the illusion of the Father, and there will be no Other. (October 9, 2019) THE MOTHER: The Goddess declares that the “subtle body, that is my own rarefied form.” “How else could souls be reborn into future lives? ..." (April 27, 2021) THE MOTHER is Antarjami, Earth, Universe, Consciousness, Quantum Mechanics, your Self. She is your subtle body. If you move a single step in any direction to find Her you will be going the wrong way. Where and how can you find and realize your Self when She has been your Self, your individual Mitochondrial Mother since time immemorial? “How can we reinstate the Divine Woman? Ideally, we should work at all her levels, reinstating the concept of the goddess as Life in the universe, reinstating the anthropomorphic Great Goddess, or her versions as goddesses, and reinstating customs of honoring ourselves as women. All these changes would radically affect our societies and our religions, but our societies and religions would probably have to be radically different to enable us to introduce such changes.

  • The Dasa(Ten) Mahavidyas in Tantra, Worship of Devi-Shakti Is Referred to As a Vidya. of the Hundreds of Tantrik Practices
    The Dasa(Ten) Mahavidyas In Tantra, worship of Devi-Shakti is referred to as a Vidya. Of the hundreds of tantrik practices, the worship of the ten major Devis is called the Dasa Mahavidya. These major forms of the goddess are described in the Todala Tantra. They are Kali, Tara, Maha Tripura Sundari (or Shodasi-Sri Vidya), Bhuvaneshvari, Chinnamasta, Bhairavi, Dhumavati, Bagalamukhi, Matangi, and Kamala. These ten aspects of Shakti are the epitome of the entire creation. Chapter 10 also outlines their consorts, although Dhumavati, the widow form, is not allocated a consort. There are several "levels" at which these Devis can be worshiped with the prescribed Mantra and Yantra. Like a simple worship of the yantra with the mantra recitation, as a remedial astrological measure, elaborate worship with all tantrak rituals for attaining various siddhis associated with these tantras and for spiritual salvation. Successful sadhana of these Vidyas gives several boons to the practitioner. The Tantrik- Yogi who has control over his senses and positively inclined uses the boons to guide people and for the benefit of mankind. The ones whose head starts spinning with success use them for the gratification of the senses, gather a bunch of disciples around them and become fake gurus. The last chapter of todala Tantra equates Vishnu's ten incarnations with the ten Mahavidyas as follows: "Shri Devi said: Lord of Gods, Guru of the universe, tell me of the ten avatars. Now I want to hear of this, tell me of their true nature. Paramesvara, reveal to me which avatar goes with which Devi.

Knowledge - Wisdom). Among the countless tantric practices, the cult of the ten major Shakti is called Dasa Mahavidya. These ten aspects of Shakti are the personification of the whole creation. The Mahavidyas are considered Tantric in nature and are usually identified as: 1. Kali: The ultimate form of Brahman, "Devourer of Time". 2. Tara: The Goddess as Guide and Protector, or Who Saves. Who offers the ultimate knowledge which gives salvation (also known as Neel Saraswati). 3.

  • Kamakhya Mandir, Guwahati
    Kamakhya Mandir, Guwahati The Kamakhya Mandir is a Sati Pith temple located on the Nilachal Hill in western part of Guwahati, Assam, India. Kamakhya Mandir is the main temple in a complex of individual temples dedicated to different forms of the mother goddess as the Dasa Mahavidya, including Bhuvaneshvari, Bagalamukhi, Chinnamasta, Tripura Sundari and Tara. It is an important pilgrimage destination for general Hindu and Tantric worshipers. 1 / 3 Kamakhya Mandir, Guwahati The current temple structure was constructed in 1565 by Chilarai of the Koch dynasty in the style of medieval temples. The form of the earlier structure, destroyed by the Kala Pahar, is unknown. The current structure has a beehive-like shikhara with delightful sculptured panels and images of Ganesha and other Hindu gods and goddesses on the outside. The temple consists of three major chambers. The western chamber is large and rectangular and is not used by the general pilgrims for worship. The middle chamber is a square, with a small idol of the Goddess, a later addition. The walls of this chamber contain sculpted images of Naranarayana, related inscriptions and other gods. The middle chamber leads to the sanctum sanctorum of the temple in the form of a cave, which consists of no image but a natural underground spring that flows through a yoni-shaped cleft in the bedrock. During the Ambuvaci festival each summer,the menstruation of the Goddess Kamakhya is celebrated. During this time, the water in the main shrine runs red with iron oxide resembling menstrual fluid. It is likely that this is an ancient Khasi sacrificial site, and worshiping here still includes sacrifices.

In the northern part of the country, the first nine days of this festival, called Navaratri, is commonly observed as a time for rigorous fast, followed by celebrations on the tenth day. In western India, throughout the nine days, both men and women participate in a special kind of dance around an object of worship.
