"I think the Mother is gradually revealing itself to me and taking over. But it is not the Mother alone. It is the Mother and the Father, the male and the female, sort of gradually having their marriage"

About this Quote

This quote by Bede Griffiths speaks to the concept of a divine union in between the masculine and the feminine. He recommends that the Mother and the Father, the male and the female, are gradually coming together in a marital relationship. This marital relationship is not simply in between two individuals, but in between 2 spiritual forces. Griffiths suggests that the Mother is slowly revealing itself to him, which it is taking over. This could be translated as a metaphor for the union of the manly and the womanly, and how it is gradually ending up being more and more prominent in his life. This union is an effective force, and it is something that Griffiths is recognizing and accepting. He is acknowledging the power of the magnificent union in between the masculine and the womanly, and how it is slowly taking over his life.
