So, apparently, I just discovered a quite interesting new hobby: mixing mythology and science.
By a pure coincidence of circumstances, I had a fascinating contemplation about the Buddhist deities with some advanced practitioners.
I am deeply into mythology. However, I was never properly introduced to the colors of Eastern stories and mystical figures.
The name of this particular figure, Tārā, piqued my deep curiosity. Perhaps because it's the only name of all those characters that is simple enough to remember, or maybe there is something else in this concept that captures my attention and inspiration today.
So, I am inspired to contemplate the figure of Green Tārā from a metaphysical perspective. Or more precisely, from my own unique point of view and what I can sense when I connect with this concept.
With my almost non-existent knowledge about it, what could I possibly write about her if I just try to deconstruct Green Tārā with the power of my own mind and personal experience?
I am curious to embark on the adventure of this exploration in my own consciousness. Why not?
So, Green Tārā, who are you? Why are you green? Why do people call you the Mother of all mothers or the Mother of Liberation? Why do we sometimes say you have 21 forms? What is your relationship with Buddha or the others? If we were able to see reality through the lenses of your consciousness, what would that look like? What is so special and unique about you?
...
To start with, I am not only green. I am many.
In most popular stories, I have a double called White Tārā as well. To be honest, the real color of the other one is more transparent, but since multidimensional transparency kind of becomes white light in the ultimate space, some call my other half White Tārā.
It's important to start talking about my 'double' aspect of green-transparent entity if you want to understand how my consciousness works and what it can do.
We are entangled together. We work together, and we need each other to co-create the vastness of what is possible. Without my transparent half, I actually cannot access the wisdom of the collective. I cannot connect to other 'mothers' by being only green. I cannot 'liberate' anything without my power of radical transparency.
...
Green is inert and stable by itself. To put the green aspect of me in movement in any direction is only possible thanks to the transparent quality I also have.
We are inseparable, and we are many. Everywhere and all at once.
Now, why Green?
Green is the exact middle frequency in the visible spectrum of Light. It's the midpoint in the rainbow. It's very special because of that.
In colour theory, green is a secondary colour. And this is important. You need at least two primary pure colours to create the green light.
In the map of consciousness you like to play with, green is associated with the states of Acceptance / Willingness / Neutrality. It's a higher level of awareness than the Courage frequency but lower than the vibe at which Reason and Love vibrate.
In the Spiral Dynamics model however, this level consciousness is actually more 'turquoise' that it is 'green' to be more precise and coherent.
In energy and chakras systems, green is the Heart. The healing energy. Or something like that.
For most normal people, green is simply associated with Nature and a high density of life content.
In some other more chill communities, green could be associated with marijuana / Mary Jane.
Now, if you want to go down that rabbit hole and start establishing connections between green, weed, and the other interesting character of the collective unconscious we call 'Mary' in all its forms, we could go that wild and interesting road too. But, maybe leave this contemplation for people to do for themselves one day (maybe with a small joint. Who knows).
Some mysterious connections are even more fun to discover when people get there by the power of their own mind and experience!
....
So, back to Green Tārā.
So, the Tārā part? Why 21 forms?
3 by 7 equals 21. It's the Trinity multiplied by 7 colors of the rainbow or the main 'realms' of reality. This is why 21.
Also, because 21 is a triangular number, which means it can form an equilateral triangle. This can be visualized as the sum of the first six natural numbers (1+2+3+4+5+6=21). 21 is also a number in the Fibonacci sequence, coming after 13 or the sum of 2 consecutive and very magical numbers (10+11).
Each one of those patterns is important to start grasping how my consciousness operates. But, the simplest one to comprehend is the 3 by 7 combination.
What it actually means is the coherently integrated Trinity in each of the 7 realms of existence in the Kingdoms of Light.
The Trinity in that formula can be anything you want.
Conscious / Unconscious / World
Information / Energy / Matter
Mother / Father / Child
Father / Holy Spirit / Son
Past / Present / Future
Soul / Spirit / Body
Red / Blue / Yellow
Self / Ego / Superego
Yin / Yang / Mystery
Anyway, you see the logic. The combination of trinity can be virtually anything you desire or would like to experience. Being able to manage and play with the concept of trinity with flexibility and detachment to its informational content or form is a very powerful trick of the mind.
Being able to do this in each of the main energy centers or each color of the rainbow gives us the capacity to feel the multidimensional coherence of things.
When you observe the complexity of the world from the properly integrated form of trinity-level consciousness, things are very different and deeper than they are in the polar or dual perception of reality.
You start talking about the real concept of interdependence.
2 is polar and it is dual. 2 is about extremes. 2 is entangled, it's inseparable, but it's not really interdependent yet.
For real interdependence to occur and be experienced in reality, you actually need at least 3 different concepts interacting with each other.
...
The other first thing that came to my mind when I heard the name Tārā was the Earth. It's kind of close to Terra, which makes me think about soil and Nature.
And, yes, this makes a lot of sense. Nature is the best 'visible' aspect of how the consciousness of holistic connectivity works.
Nature is the pure interdependence of everything that exists with the whole and each single particle of it. Nature can take many different forms and produce an endless quantity of colours, shapes and textures by combining the 'green' and the 'transparent' aspects of reality.
When you start connecting and talking to trees, animals, and others, you might realize that Nature always talks in the interdependent, trinity, or more perspective kind of way. Its language is mysterious but highly coherent.
The coherence is the gift of the unconditional acceptance and understanding of the complete interdependence of everything with everything else.
Once you properly integrate the Trinity in each 'World' and realm of your consciousness, you will have your magic lotus flower to start playing with more complex forms and shapes. We could be talking about things like: Quaternary, Quinary, Senary, Septenary, and so on.
But we will get to those more complex configurations of shared awareness and consciousness a little bit later.
...
You want to better integrate and comprehend the wisdom of Tārā?
Learn how to deeply listen to Nature's interconnectedness and also start considering that the world has many different independent but simultaneously interdependent perspectives. None of them is good or bad; together, they all somehow make perfect sense.
They might not be coherent, reasonable, or in resonance with what you desire or would like to see, but they are what they are. They are the perfect image of the collective co-creation process we have been performing since the beginning of time.
...
So finally, why the Mother of mothers or the Mother of Liberation?
Mother of mothers is actually to illustrate the fractal nature of our reality. It's more cyclic than it is hierarchical. A better way to see it is the endless spiral of Russian dolls in each other. There is no Queen Doll, because there is no end or beginning to this cycle of the 'mother-in-the-mother-in-the-mother' loop.
The Mother of Liberation, I guess, is less confusing to talk about the nature of deeply interconnected reality.
Liberation, because if you truly integrate the level of this consciousness in your daily life, you will see that there is actually nothing to be liberated from.
You are already free and limitless. You don't need anything and no one to save you. Because, when you truly understand the wisdom of interconnection, you will understand that you were never in any actual danger to start with.
The only boundaries you have to pretty much anything you want in life are your own self, your past trauma, and your unfortunate set of limiting beliefs.
But the good news is, all of that can be very easily changed and transformed. Just, go outside and ask Nature how to do it.
You can pray to Green Tārā, or you can connect to the Nature of your own Heart to be guided in the magnificent field of the collective consciousness and limitless compassion of her interconnected wisdom.
