Gaian Tantric Vow

I invoke, by her sacred name today, the Earth goddess who has been invoked by many names of your aeon.

Sophia of the illumined Gnostics. Prunikos, outrageous, audacious, daring. Aniruta, the eternal root, ripening of life. Prithivi of the timeless Vedas. Anahita, mother goddess of the noble Aryan races. Spandarmat of the Persian sages. Changing Woman, Spider-Woman of the noble red races. Severa, who bestowed the enlightenment of Shakyamuni with the earth-touching mudra.

Note your epiphanies before the ancient peoples of Chem. Astarte of the Fertile Crescent. Asteroth of the world tree. Ishtar of the stars in the limbs of the world tree. Of the Assetians, heroic remnant of the Aryan root races. Potnia Theron, mistress of the animals of ancient Crete. De Gom, who is Pleth, the plenitude of the Slavic Vedas. Zemlia, deep-rooted ground of Mother Russia. Ostara, eternal dawn, blood mother of the Teutons and Germanic peoples.

Snake-dressed goddess of the Aztecs. Itzchel, moon goddess of the Maya. Prama Turain of the elegant Siamese. Kuan Yin, treasure holder of the Chinese peoples. Of the Maori, revered by the Southern Sea peoples. Of the island dwellers of Nippon. Gaya of the heroic age of the Hellenes.

Selma Albina Alpanu of the lost Etruscans. Leukocia, the white goddess of Latium, and mother of the Roman peoples. Arianrhod and Ariadne, weavers of the earth-bound dream. Infernal witch who guards the well of inspiration. Rhea, who flows in all that is inside, outside, in between. Devi, moist luminous womb of the primordial race of she-fairy. Earth-bound Dakini core. Demeter, ever-changing polarities of the Magna Matar, the planetary animal mother.

Gaia, blue marbled watery world thriving with life, terrestrial matrix of organic light, home and haven to the myriad species. These names precede the name to which you answer now.

See flirtatious lightning: the immediate sensorial body of the aeon Sophia. Planet dancing in fractal light, in silent thunder. Perfect mind, you alone and supreme are the grounding matrix of human intelligence, the milk-white luminosity that melts into wisdom and bliss.

Fountainhead of every moment of sensation. Support of every biological event. Garment of the atmosphere. Continuum of animation of all sentient life, and the animated mirror of insentient life. Source and expression and indwelling divinity of this sacred Earth. Consecrated tantra: this world, embodied truth.

To you I direct this vow, by Svatantria whose dance is freedom, whose body is the sea of tantric bliss, in the presence of the Nirmana-kayas of the nine generations of the black time of innocence.

In the melting core of the ingenuous beauty of our human earth-bound essence. In the galaxies dissolving in the eyes of the Earth’s abandoned children. In the drift of our parallel world, Andromeda, where our mirror doubles dwell serenely and invite our return until the end of the great kalpa.

In the reverberation of divine pleasure contained in each and every moment, and pervading every samsaric phantom. Every seeming illusion. Every passing distraction. Every empty threat. Every glance gone astray. In abandonment to the addiction to the pain of not being seen.

By the crystalline effusion of dakini elixirs, tongue on knife, I accept instantaneous transmutation of all pain, loss, confusion, denial, withholding, fear, shame, suffering, defensiveness, miscalculated defiance, false anger, misbegotten antipathy, and wasted sympathy, and all the consequences in this mindless concatenation of fractured intensities, by releasement into the wonder that makes us so.

And by calling out your name, I take refuge in your attention turned upon us: the sky-bestowing look, the flawless beholding that grants safe passage for all sentient beings and graciously provides their liberation. To you, and you alone, I pronounce this vow.

Elaine, and salutations once again to the truth core, whoever and wherever you may be on the planet. What you heard there in eight minutes is the recitation of the gaian tantric vow.

This is a simple practice, available to anyone today, to bond yourself into the sacred power of the source of your life—your mind, emotions, passions, everything that you consider to be yourself— without knowing the sublime totality of what you are.
