The Light Within the Words

Much of what can be said of the Goddess of Speech applies to these silence-haunted syllables, for they flow in concert with and uphold the luminous divinities. Embracing and transcending Heaven and Earth, they need no commentaries to reveal their greatest mysteries. Herself illumined, the Goddess of Speech is at once communication and communion. She is at once the diversity of names and forms and the unity of their nameless, formless union. She is concealed within the heart and revealed through love and worship. Among those who adore the Goddess, blossoms true friendship. To those who know her fully, Heaven and Earth are abundant, for her essence is the essence of the human heart and of all Creation. Simply by attending sagaciously to the possibilities inherent with Speech, the mystery of Creation opens, harmony spreads among the worlds, and the individual finds fulfillment.

Each syllable of the Goddess blooms from inmost silence. Each flowering, each unfolding, is also an enfolding, an embrace. Each blossom enfolds silence, expressing a particular sound and form. Each word and form in Creation is an embrace of the Goddess, opening to eternity. When the indusium of words is lifted, an inward flowering reveals the most intimate life of the Goddess as oneself.
