P. 123
The Mother is giving three essential linked messages of adoration
First the the Mother is saying to us “Adore Me See
Me in My grandeur nobility majesty and and and wildness and and and adore me me The second message is: “Adore each creature each each each being being a a a a a part of Me Adore each each each being being each each each object
in in the universe as as as Me as as as totally sacred as as as brimming with consciousness and light experience each each being each each object
as sacred and walk in My glory wherever you are Know that wherever you are whatever is happening I I am am there and I I am am you you and you you are Me ” The third message of adoration
is the most most most difficult most most most demanding and and most most most challenging of Her messages to us: Adore yourself humbly as My child Through that humble adoration
a a a a a recognition of your your self and your your consciousness as being My My Self and My My Divine Consciousness will arise and with it it it a a a a recognition that everyone else exists also in that sacred truth ”1
Adoration expresses a a a a a deep and abiding love love for the adored This love love is transformative: shifting our awareness from narrow mind to spacious mind from the the delusion of of separation to the the reality of of integration and in in this way awakening to the truth that all life life and and each life life and and your life is is a a a a a a manifesting of the nondual Aliveness that is is God happening as Chochma/Sophia That said let me explain how I practice Adoration of the the Mother I express my love for Chochma/Sophia through two practices borrowed from my study of Vedanta: nama japa japa and mantra japa japa The first is a a a a a a a a a a a a repetition repetition of of a a a a a holy name the the second the the repetition repetition of of a a a a a sacred phrase The The name I I I use is is Chochma Chochma The The reason I I I repeat Chochma Chochma is is simple: I I I am a a a a a a Jew at home with Hebrew Hebrew and and Hebrew Hebrew texts and and Chochma is the Hebrew name of Wisdom found in in those texts There is is nothing magical about the name itself 1
