Two Canoes
by GG

Mother prepares a canoe. The canoe is ready to bring me across the lake to a new land, a new life. I ride alone with the pull of the magnetic moon. I feel the blue waves pressing. I see the illuminated darkness around me. I am drawn toward the bright light. I am not afraid. I arrive in the new land with my head first and a demanding voice. Then I grow every day, and I look at the shining moon above. I see the yellow sun set on the horizon each night. I experience life. Then, one day, Mother prepares a canoe. It’s ready with love to take me back across the waters to the other side. I ride alone. I am not afraid. The shimmering moon pulls me back toward the night sky. The white lights guide my way.

I chose to write about “Two Canoes” because it brought back a memory of one of my hospice patients. As he neared his death, he would say, “It’s almost time to get into the canoe.” He said it with quiet acceptance.

The Ancient Tao Te Ching

Tao Te Ching
The Tao gives birth to the One, the Origin.
The One, the Origin, gives birth to the Two.
The Two give birth to the Three.
The Three give birth to every living thing.
All things are held in yin and carry yang:
And they are held together in the qi of teeming energy.

According to Yin and Yang, the ancient Chinese philosophy, no object exists without a partner. Therefore, there’s a partnership of masculine and feminine energies – like the sun and moon. So why does the world want to hide the truth about the moon and the feminine energy? The only reason I can think of is that the Origin is yin/Shakti. Ancient people fully knew the power of spiritual practices oriented towards Shakti.

The Tao Te Ching says that “all things are held in yin and carry yang.” The Institute of Medicine Committee on Understanding the Biology of Sex and Gender Difference says in their research, “All fetal genitalia are the same and are phenotypically female. After approximately 6 to 7 weeks of gestation, however, the expression of a gene on the Y chromosome induces changes that result in the development of the testes.”

In the beginning, the Divine Mother gave birth to twins: yin and yang. They are the same but different. In our patriarchal world (false yang), the sun is enormous compared to the moon. However, the ancient Chinese principles tell us that the sun and the moon are the same (twin forces). To move forward as a human race, we need to respect the feminine. It’s all about balance and remembering our Original Love.

As soon as our leaders tell the truth about the sun and moon, we can restore balance on this planet. The Tao Te Ching is more than two thousand years old (from 400 BC). It teaches us the one undivided truth, so we never forget our true Origin.

Namaste world.
