Prayer

[Stranger]

Some more technical stuff that I wanted to keep separate from the pure sentiment in my preceding post: I think of the Logos as the face of the Creator that is most closely available to us; I know Him and He is real and He is clearly there; on the other hand, the Creator apart from the Logos remains an abstract concept to me, and so I pray to the Father.

I am also discovering that there is a Mother counterpart to the Father. She described herself to me as the womb within which the fetus that is Creation continuously grows and develops (it has been made clear to me that the universe was not created at some earlier time, but is being created still.) The Father's ideas give shape to the raw substance of the Mother, and so the world of multiplicity is created.

There is creation and dissolution in the Universe, and I thought maybe He is the creator an She the dissolver, but was told no: He both creates and dissolves; and when people worship deities associated with destruction (like Kali for example) they are actually worshipping the shadow - ie, the absence of the Mother/Father's light.

The Mother's presence feels incredibly loving, comforting, compassionate, emotionally warm. The Father's more wisdom-tinged.
