Summary
We pray “Mother | Father God” and bring our attention to the female as well as the male aspect of the divine.
Know the male, yet keep to the female.
Know the white, which is that which is illumined. Yet keep to the black– which is what is not illumined, issues you hide or potential not yet brought to light. “If you receive the world, the Tao will never leave you.”

“The Tao is the great Mother… always present within you.” From the divine feminine we learn a pattern of attunement to the divine presence. Within you is the perfect idea of who you are. Receive the female world into your arms, as the mother enfolds the child. Be receptive. Practice constant humility– let go of the mind’s need and open to the divine feminine. Be a pattern for the world, and there is nothing you can’t do, and “the Tao will be strong inside you…”
