La Diosa Blanca
La Diosa Blanca es una de las muchas imágenes de la Madre del Mundo. Es un principio, y sin embargo, es un ser viviente.
En el Tíbet, la Diosa Blanca es especialmente amada y adorada como Tara, la salvadora. Los budistas tibetanos comprenden que quien va a salvar al mundo es la Madre y que ella viene a salvar al mundo al final de la era del Kali Yuga.
Se dice que Tara nació de un loto que creció en el agua de una lágrima derramada por Avalokiteshvara, quien, como registran los textos antiguos, «vio que a cuantos seres migratorios se llevara de samsara, nunca disminuían, y lloró». Así, Tara es considerada la contraparte femenina de Avalokiteshvara o su consorte divina; y como Kuan Yin, ella es una bodhisattva de compasión. La relación entre Tara y Kuan Yin ha sido tema de mucha especulación. Algunos dicen que Kuan Yin es la homóloga china de Tara y otros creen que las dos son en realidad una sola, el mismo ser.
El símbolo principal de la Tara Blanca es el loto completamente abierto, que representa la apertura de los pétalos de los chakras. Las estatuas de la Diosa Blanca con frecuencia muestran las riquezas de su atavío. Su corona y sus pendientes simbolizan la manifiesta expresión de la vida abundante del Buda y del Cristo. La Madre simboliza que todas las cosas en el universo Material pertenecen a sus hijos, y por eso el sentido de vida abundante es parte de su manifestación. Ella también muestra al renunciante que la verdadera riqueza del cosmos está en las cualidades espirituales. La Madre es quien nada tiene pero lo posee todo, y en este equilibrio hallamos la disciplina del Buda.
She is often seated in the full lotus posture, Padmasana, permitting the free flow of the Kundalini. Her left hand is over the heart, and her right hand is extended in the gesture of giving, embodying generosity and the blessing of all life. The knot on the top of her head symbolizes the opening of the crown chakra. The elongated ears and the presence of the third eye symbolize the full use of the inner senses. The large ear is seen on all of the Buddhas, and it indicates the contact with God through the inner ear and the inner sound.
The White Tara is a manifestation of the Divine Mother, the cosmic principle of the Mother. Whether you call her Mother Mary or Isis or the White Tara of Tibet or Kuan Yin or Kali or Durga, she is still the Mother force, the shakti. She also lives within you. She is the Mother light within us all. She is ascended master and unascended master. The White Goddess is the white-fire core of our chakras as the Mother light, the Kundalini energy, the white light in the center of every ray. As you give adoration to that presence within yourself through the rosary, you are raising the energies of the Kundalini and connecting with the cosmic principle of Mother.
In a dictation with the White Goddess in 1977, Serapis said:
Precious hearts, the way of the White Tara is the way of those who see the ultimate need of humanity and are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice. Because of their sense of timing, they read the timing of the Lord. They are mathematicians with me. They are architects of a vast destiny. They see the timing of the enemy. And they know that for the game of point/counterpoint, they must be as a shaft of sacred fire, as the point of diamond, as the discipline of energy. And this is all of their joy, all of their play and laughter condensed in an intense sphere of light. Whirling in that sphere, they actually enjoy with God-delight every pleasure that other disciples take along the wider spiral.[1]
