The Genesis Of Revelation

seas which are the waters teeming with life for all things physical are represented by the woman. It is most important to understand that when any earth/Mother symbol is used it represents the universally physical which is everything including the stars, galaxies, planets, atoms and sub-atomic particles; it means you and us and all things of the five senses and it is life, birth, death, transmutation and growth and the womb of all.

Adam (who, at the beginning of this chapter, represents mankind male and female either as a culture, nation, society or individual) rises out of the Mother, the dust of the ground. The image of dust is used to represent the infinity of separated physical things- the universe of atomic particles and galaxies. The dust is also all those individuals who make up all the races of mankind throughout all time and so all nations, all cultures, and all peoples are the dust of the earth. But it had not yet rained and so a mist went up from the earth and watered all the ground. This water, mist, the spirit of the Mother, is emanating from the Mother and giving life to all that have their being in her. Baptism, throughout the Bible, is presented as an image of rebirth and of coming from within the womb through the waters of life. It is the life giving energy, the medium which supports the new life until such time as it can exist apart from the Mother; in other words the birth waters are the spirit of the Mother. In all Earth Mother religions we find expressions of these waters in the psychic abilities demonstrated by many of the priestesses and teachers. So it is not surprising that in the more masculine centred religions that talents such as clairvoyance, mediumship and intuition have been lumped together under the heading of witchcraft and outlawed or at least seriously frowned upon for these are manifestations of the spirit of the Mother and are the mist (one might say mystical) that rises from the ground of her being. Because the Mother represents everything, all physical space/time consciousness is a manifestation of her; be that normal/rational space/time or the more psychic types of consciousness which are prone to be somewhat "slippery" (many mediums are unable to give accurate time forecasts for their prognostications as they have no idea whether a given event will happen sooner, later, in the past or the future). As a species, as races and individuals, we are born and grow and develop within the bosom of the Mother and all our experiences are derived from this space/time womb. So while our religions, philosophies and sciences persist in trying to understand things from the perspective of space/time they are of the Mother only and are still in the womb. But, through all these space/time ideas, experiences and relationships we grow, develop and become the beings we are until such time as our rebirth becomes imminent.

Throughout time Mother Nature has proven to be very prolific and has produced many paths of development. But her ground needs to be tilled and turned over, from time to time because, like any productive ground, it needs to be rejuvenated and fertilized. Through this cultivation comes the ability to be more selective in our growth and the ability to discern the useful plant from the weed. Annually, in festivals such as Easter and Christmas, we recognise the phases of the Mother's life giving processes and so acknowledge the benefits to be derived from cultivation. But in the early stage of the second chapter of Genesis there was no Man to till the ground and so things were still in their wild and natural state; as at the beginning of the first chapter of Genesis 'In the beginning was chaos'. Adam was formed from this wild and natural chaos out of the dust of the earth. In so saying the writers of the book of Genesis 34
