Pronounced: 'Shu-ah-ni.'
Means esoteric female (person; an actual person).
People today, even in the mainstream Chinese ethnic culture, forget that they do not know their own actual history and are not allowed to know it - even since the Emperor Shun forbade them from having any relations with the beings of Heaven. They, humans, could read the stars and offer prayers to those, but it was against the proclaimed edicts of the ruler of Middle Kingdom (China) the Emperor Shun, to actually arrange meetings with the real Deities as such, or even any beings from above. And ever after him, all the subsequent rulers agreed to take the same oath that Shun made his court take regarding not involving themselves personally or directly with the beings of the Nine Heavens. (We will discuss later why the Deities do not object too strongly, and have kept the world sectioned off).
Out of the darkness, a creature of the occult... |
Thus, today, many people even from authentic Taoism lineages, maintain that 'Xuannu' is merely the idea of the intellectual resources one must consult in order to formulate good practical plans and then execute them.
And this is not correct at all.
Xuannu is a title, or a uniquely-applied personal description, in the first place, not an actual personal name as such. It means 'the esoteric one.'
Nevertheless, in the Navajo people's language she is 'Sho-annaiya:' from the skies.
Her first name in Chinese is 'Jiu-Tian;' pronounced 'Yaw' or 'Ya-Then.' Ya-Then, the esoteric one.
So, one cannot hold much store by the legends recounted of Jiutian Xuannu, which in any case are called 'myths.'
It is unreasonable to think that she really did descend and appear to the warrior Huang-Di, in order to teach him magic and Wisdom and how to conduct warfare - since she is the Goddess of all of these things. We won't go into it here, why this is unreasonable - and will simply leave people to believe anything they wish to believe...
Jiutian's mother is the Grand Ultimate Mother of the West, who owns the Peach Trees of Immortality.
Had Jiutian taught anyone at all, she would have succeeded in imparting her knowledge to that person fully, since she is a Divine Person, and incapable of error, and consequently, would have bestowed upon her disciple, the right of access to the Peaches of Immortality.
'Xuannu' is a descriptive title, similar to Neith in the Egyptian, and it means the kind of Primordial Darkness that is so extreme, that it is 'glossy,' and out of which 'pure creation' (meaning that which emerged from no thing) must really emerge but which really is some composition of potential and of existing resources.
Grand Ultimate Mother of the West. (Means like the Western Gate of Heaven; not the West). |
That is one reason that the mediocre Taoists say 'Xuannu' is the plane of Universal Resources.
The problem is that this is not ever in the mythology itself, about 'random' exposition or manifesting of resources - but intelligent manifesting of the compositions of certain resources. Ya-Then is the Goddess of Wisdom and intelligence.
Jiutian Xuannu is 'the Esoteric Goddess of Ultimate Intellect and Wisdom...'
You can even clearly see the evident mistakes in the modern exegesis of certain ancient classic texts and words, because many of today's Taoists, confuse the Chinese word 'Gau' with 'Jiu,' claiming that the Goddess is 'the Lady from the Ninth (Gau) Heaven.'
Now why am I talking about this?
'As I wiggle my selfless toes, into the most unaccommodating New Zealand lambskin car mats in my Daimler, I vow selfless duty...'
So to whom or to what is 'King' Charles vowing selfless duty?
Well in his speech he said: the country, the nations, the peoples, and the principles of constitutional government.
Double-baked cheese souffle. Has nothing to do with anything, except it's really good! |
Now you see he can't really be a king there by saying that - since the right of kingship is bestowed only by God and that's whom the king serves; no one else at all.
And, ever since the Emperor Shun (and all of the other 'Emperor Shuns' - Nimrod, Og of Magog, the last son of Poseidon at Atlantis, King Salva; many others) took control of the Earth, wresting human people away from the peoples of the skies, there are no stable kings with actual access to the heavens. Instead there are rulers with Earthly domain.
On the one hand it would be unnecessarily cruel to suggest that 'Charles' (even that is a mistake) is being hypocritical. He's hardly to blame for having been brought up in the midst of very controlled propaganda designed to make him utterly compliant and subservient to others. He's even said so that he's subservient...
But on the other hand, as far as Heaven would see it, the hypocrisy of the human is utterly shameless. They will say anything, and then justify it in their group mind, by using any kind of elastic pulling of terms and meanings around and especially, by slicing and dicing the benefits and processes so as to make out that something is 'the best of what is possible' afterall.
And nothing could be of course, further from the truth. The Fisher Kings (mythically, as far as you would be told) left their palaces and their wealth to do the actual Will of God.
Some would ask me, no doubt - 'But how come it is so hard to get in contact with these famous/infamous sky people of yours?'
Because you are actively being blocked, my friend, by other interests who simply do not want you to know anything about the people from above.
Blue starling. |
'But you say they have ultimate and limitless powers to do anything.'
Uh-huh. And?
It's in your own Western mainstream religious book: 'Behold, lest the human creature stretches forth its hand and takes of the fruit of Eternal Life and eats thereof, and becomes as one of us, living forever.'
The Mysterious Lady of the Ninth Heaven is merely mysterious, and occult, or esoteric; she is not impossible.
My toes are not selfless, far from it.
They are not completely selfish though. And unlike the last Fisher King, I can still wiggle my toes.
Just like with the Fisher Kings, the Mysterious Lady has animals and things sacred to her, one of these being the iridescent blue-feathered kinds of birds such as the kingfisher and the blue starling.
All humans permanently stand at the threshold of success and yet are mostly all defeated. And it is because they (mostly) all - like the knight Sir Percival in the Grail Legend - fail to ask the Fisher King 'the healing question.'
