Honoring Mothers All Over the World

All over the world, and all throughout the year, mothers are celebrated with a special day. Here in the United States and Canada, where many members of our team reside, tomorrow, Sunday, May 8th is Mother’s Day.

For me and my teammates, mothers hold a very special place in our hearts. Some of our mothers still walk the planet alongside us. For others of us, our mothers are near, just in a nonphysical way. 

We recognize mothers with the highest regard. Some women with children choose to be in service while focusing solely on the home environment while others choose to blend family life at home with other meaningful work in the world. 

No matter what “playground” they choose, we honor all mothers for their capacity, their patience, their extraordinary ability to give love without condition or end goal.

Here at Humanity’s Team, we’re fond of talking about conscious living. Who more than mothers epitomize living consciously, elevating unity and connection within families, mediating workplace frictions, nurturing and supporting, wonderfully balancing the external with the internal?

When we talk about mothers, we also want to discuss Divine Feminine, as this state of being transcends gender.

The Indian yoga guru Sadhguru says, “What we refer to as feminine is a passage. It is an access. It is a dimension of insightfulness and intuition. Establishing and seeing and pursuing the divine in its feminine form has been a universal process across the planet. Every culture at some point had divine feminine worship.”

We are all called to integrate our masculine and feminine “sides” in order to bring forth the fullness of our humanness. Leaning too much on one or the other creates and communicates imbalance, thereby contributing to a world that seems off-kilter. 

Our friend and partner, Lynne Twist, shares on YouTube the prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor.

“The Eagle,” she says, “refers to the Eagle people who perceive life primarily through our mind. And that’s people like us in the modern world. The prophecy says that the Eagle people, at this special time in history—right about now—will have reached a kind of Zenith in their capacity to understand the world, to create innovations and technologies. They will be inventive and scientifically very sophisticated and that we will be materially wealthy beyond any previous generations’ imaginations. But the Eagle people will be spiritually impoverished to their peril. And their very survival will be at risk as a result.

“While the Condor people,” she says, “refers to people who live primarily through the heart, the five senses, and their intuition. They live primarily in the spirit world and that refers to the indigenous people themselves. And they will be in a kind of Zenith in their evolution, in their capacity to understand things through intuition, their relationship with all their kin, the plants and animals wherever they live, and they will be in an incredible Zenith in their relationship with Spirit at this time in history. However, they will be materially impoverished with any encounter with the Eagle world and their very survival will be at risk. 

“The prophecy says that the Eagle and the Condor will remember that they are each other. And they will come together again and begin to fly together in the same skies and the world will come back into balance.”

This is a hopeful message in these times of uncertainty about the future, personally and universally speaking. Of course, from one vantage point, all is well and unfolding perfectly.

But from another perspective, there is much to do to regain the balance that is our and our planet’s birthright.

When we come into balance, even when we simply live with the intention to come into balance, conscious living comes without thinking. Would you go through a self-checkout line at the grocery store and ever think to take an item without paying for it? Of course not. You care about the state of the world and understand that in every moment with every decision you make, you are a microcosm of the larger state of affairs.

On this Mother’s Day weekend, let’s remember that we are the Eagle and we are the Condor. We are the Divine Masculine and we are the Divine Feminine.

When we not only remember but also embrace and integrate the fullness of our true nature, nothing but healthy and abundant living can come from that.

This weekend we honor mothers all over the world. We honor their legacy of the past. But more importantly, we honor them for shining the light into the future.

We stand together and hold the promise of a future in Divine Balance close to our hearts. 

And we shout, “Amen” and “So it is.” 

In One Family,
