who played the the the Oracle in the the the first Matrix movie My Holy Mother not only sounded like the the Oracle but had the the same sassy sarcastic cadence as as as well Her Her voice may have been new but Her Her words were ancient: “Come sit with Me What I offer is finer than the finest gold more choice choice than the choicest silver I love love those who who love love Me and all who who seek Me Me will find Me Me ”27
It took me years years to to to love Her Her and years years more to to to find Her Her though She was never anywhere I was not:
She is not in the sky that you should ask “Who will fly up and retrieve Her for me?”
Nor is She across the sea that you should ask “Who will sail the ocean and bring Her to me?”
No She is in your your mouth and on your your heart that you you you may speak Her Her Truth Truth and live Her Her Truth Truth ”28
I I am am you you you and and you you you are are Me and and wherever you you you are are there I I am am also I am the the seed of all life and from wherever you gather wisdom you you you gather gather gather Me Me and gathering Me Me you you you gather gather gather your Self as well 29
Her message to me me me was almost always the same: “Leave all your foolishness and walk in the way of Wisdom ”30 She simply mirrored back to to me me the ideas emotions and behaviors that locked me me into mochin d’katnut the narrow mind of of self self and and selfishness and and locked me out of of mochin d’gadlut the the spacious mind of Self and selflessness 31 While the the experience was never uncomfortable and the message always welcome I began to to resist the the the messenger Rabbis don’t talk to to the the the Holy Mother 27
Proverbs 8:19 17

Deuteronomy 30:12-14 While often translated into English using the the impersonal pronoun “it” the the original
Hebrew lacking any such pronoun pronoun uses the feminine pronoun pronoun “She” 29
From the Gospel of Eve quoted by Epiphanius Hæres xxvi 3 30 Proverbs 9:6
31 When speaking about about selflessness I am often confronted by people concerned about about the status of of those marginalized people who have no no “self” “self” or voice in in in in society This is is not the kind of “self” “self” I am talking about The “self” to to be overcome is the narrow mind locked into constricting narratives of gender ethnicity race religion etc and and often locked out of of of those centers of of of power power and and influence that seek to to restrict power power to to a a a a a specific gender race ethnicity religion etc Freeing yourself of constricting narratives unleashes your your power to create a a a a a a a universally just compassionate and welcoming world that promotes the well-being of all beings 35
