The Great Mother Electrodynamic in China --

Sun Crow or Ocean Dragon Divinity?

What course does our magnetic journey of cultivation

take? Which path completes the electric circuit of our

knowing, of our divinity, of our connection to all our living

relations of this celestial wilderness?

 

Cyclic ceremonial dance, electromagnetic chi-ritual, of our

alignment in the greater electrodynamic gong?

 

Is the GREAT MOTHER a wheel, or a cross, or an empty vessel?

 

[Or a journey?]

Was it an earlier 'Journey to the West' -- thousands of years

before Shakyamuni Siddhartha Gautama Buddha -- that brought

the Creation Goddess NuWa to the Yellow River peoples?��A

trajectory across the Sky from East to West as in the "Rainbow

Serpent" or "Sun Mother" of the Australian Aboriginal dreamtime?

 

"Journey To The West" is the best-loved story from buddhist

China -- available in many movie and television formats of

great length. It is based on the true story of the intrepid Chinese

monk, Xuan Zang (602-664). Commanded to travel to the West, to

the Indus Valley ... to seek for the Sutras, the sacred writings

composed by the disciples of Sakyamuni Buddha ... Xuan Zang

journeyed on foot for twenty years before returning to the Chinese

Imperial City of Xian with the precious scrolls. In the popular

fiction story (and mainstay of the Bejing Opera!) Monkey King,

Sun Wu Kong, is the principal character and companion of Xuan Zang

on the pilgrimage ... and the many trials and tribulations for all-

involved in this dramatic transitionary period of Chinese history

from the Taoist 'longhairs' regime to the Buddhist shaved heads.

[viz. a similarly dramatic period from `recent` Japanese history

when the Samurai and their swords were outlawed, and their topknots

('long' hair pigtails) were cut from their scalps by the new era of

Japanese government which sought to emulate another `West`,

this time a West of European & North America flavour.] Monkey,

who is also an enlightened being who studied under many masters,

became immortal by eating the Peaches in the garden of heaven,

upsetting Emperor Yu Huang Da Di, or the "Great Emperor of Jade"

in Heaven.��[Monkey ate ALL the peaches!] The forces of Heaven

and Monkey battled for ages, until a ruse and deceipt by Goddess

Kuan Yin imprisoned Monkey ... at which time he was emtombed

under a mountain for ages, until released to be in service to

Xuan Zang on his journey to the Asian `West` ...

 

Thus, this article is raising the question of an even earlier great

upheavel in Chinese history, from thousands of years earlier ...

Central Asian herstory. The question of the `incarnation` in

`China` of the origin/creation Goddess NuWa (NuKua, NuGua, NaGa)

whose form and figurines and worship were the mainstay of China

long before the consolidation of the Chinese Empire and the arrival

of Sakyamuni and Confucious! Today the figurines and public statues

of NuWa are still worshipped and present ... yet they are a hundred

times overshadowed by the Kuan Yin and Buddha statuary and

temples, which are the ONLY statues which can be found in the

mainstream economy of Chinese `religion` around the globe.

In a nutshell, the Chinese characters for NuWa (and Kuan Yin as well)

are usually translated as wet melon, great mother, or ocean womb. The

story told for thousands of years, the origins and legacy we are now

uncovering, is that NuWa was the dragon/serpent goddess of creation

.... from the world-ocean ... who arrived at the very beginning of

Earthly (mortal) time at the mouth of the Yellow River. It was there,

from the yellow clay, that SHE fashioned people, woman and men, and

ALL the creatures of the Earth, our great family.

 

SHE fashioned them from `living clay`, the body of the Earth,

and sent them on their way.

 

Yet when did SHE take on the form of the Sun Crow, and when

the Ocean Womb Serpent / Dragon body?

 

Today we will not trace her journey around the Earth -- all

her merging forms in our circumplanetary cultures --[viz Nuit,

Nut ... aka Isis/Maat ... and other global divinities] -- but

only sketch her early expression in Central Asia/greater China,

and her possible journey from the Indus Valley (through Tibet?)

to Mongolia/Manchuria, and to the South and Yellow River.

 

Before `modern` (written) history the Dragon-tailed NuWa

goddess of Creation was alternately portrayed as a Winged

Sun Crow or as the Dragon-tailed Ocean Womb Mother of Fu Xi

in China. Later, in `history` she was made to be Fu Xi`x wife and

mere co-author of Chinese civilisation. [see the architect`s

square in her hand, and Moon in other, in the rubbing later

in the text.]

 

The ancient Ho Tu diagrams of prehistorical China, include the

eight trigrams of the I-Ching. The Ho Tu is sometimes arranged

in a concentric circular pattern ... and Ho Tu is also said

to translate as the Milky Way dragon goddess.

 

Recently, heads & full figures of her depiction (in clay, jade and

stone) have been un-Earthed and announced by the PRC government --

from sites in North China (Inner Mongolia/Manchuria) and elsewhere.

[Along with ancient Chinese calligraphy written on Tortoise shells,

predating the Sumerian cuneiform by two thousand years!]

[Read for example about the�"Nu Shen Miao" (or Temple Goddess)

from Niuheliang, Liaoning Province in our ChinaU or the

Seven-Seven discussion groups at -- and please

ask questions or add contributions. ]

 

Similarly, the public awareness of a Neolothic Jade Age in China/

Central Asia, between the Stone Age and Bronze Age, known as the

Hong Shan period, is unearthing many more NuWa goddess figurines --

in both Sun Bird/Crow and Mother Serpent/Dragon configurations,

from antiquities collections traced to the 18th and 19th centuries.

[including Jade Statuary with advanced Chinese calligraphy, writing,

which predates the known Sumerian Cuneiform by thousands

of years.]

 

And the growing market for the Goddess, and HongShan Jade,

is leading to a great new under-and-above- ground industry in

NuWa Jade figurines.

 

Here is what an antiquities trader in Beijing has to say about

the Hong Shan Jade Age of China:

 

~~~~~

 

Hong Shan Jade Period of Central Asia

 

From the dawn of Chinese civilization existed the Neolithic period

(circa 6000 to 2000 BC), when more than five ancient cultures have

existed in China, including Hongshan culture, Majianbang culture,

Longshan culture, Liangzhu culture and others.

 

Hongshan Culture 6000-1700 BC

 

Jade has always held a special place in Chinese culture. From

ancient times its value has been considered to be greater than

gold or silver. Beginning in the Neolithic period, the stone

was carved into shapes such as discs (bi) or square tubes (cong)

and placed on the body of the deceased within the tomb. Believed

to have special protective powers, jade was thought to preserve

the body from decomposition as well as to protect it from evil

spirits. The stone culture has existed in china for thousands of

years. From the dawn of civilization, the Hongshan people in

northeastern china and Mongolian areas began to use jade

gemstones to make tools for hunting and farming.

HongShan Jade Era Calligraphy, Owl Statuary

~~~~~

 

 

Definition: Late Neolithic period [4700-2920 B.C.] culture in China,

primarily the Manchurian area including Liaoning province and

Inner Mongolia; known for ceremonial complexes, jade, copper,

perhaps bronze working.

 

Hongshan Culture traces back to 4500 and 8500 years ago. Jade

in Hongshan Culture was used as the media between humans and the

heaven, as ritual objects, as the symbol of power, also as ornaments.

There are approximately 300 piece of original Hongshan Culture

jades discovered to this date and considered priceless.

 

~~~~~

 

In fact, thousands of years later, for the Chinese Empresses and

Emperors ... and the VERY few of court who could similarly afford

it ... the most precious of the jades, the `liquid` or transparent

green jade known as Jadeite, was powdered and eaten ... as an

immortality source, as well as a source for sexual potency. [Jadeite

necklaces & artifacts, originating in slave mines in Myanmar/Burma,

circulate amongst the private nobility of the world -- fetching prices

in the tens of millions and hundreds of millions (US $) per item.] A

fascinating insight into the power of Jade in royal China is presented

in the (similarly priceless) book "Stone of Heaven, Unearthing the

Secret History of Imperial Jade" by Cathy Scott-Clark and Adrian

Levy.

 

[Question: Which is the preferred immortality food? Jadeite or

Peaches? Perhaps we will have to ask Sun Wu Kong, ask our Monkey!]

In my several years electric-journeying on this voyage of `un-covery`

of the Goddess in ancient China -- long before the Buddha statuary --

I first saw her guise in pottery rubbings from Chinese museums.

Then as fish/dragon/ mermaid sketches and figurines. Last year

I found her in the stone and jade archeological excavations, and

this year in the antiquities trade from Hong Kong to Shanghai to

Beijing!

Last December -- during the Christmas season when antiquities

trading is very high (and halfway reliable) in China -- I bidded

on several replicas of HongShan period Bird and Crow and Dragon

goddesses ... as well as gold and bronze and plastic and ceramic

and resin versions of her essentially identical to similar depictions

in India and Nepal as a Naga or Kundalini goddess, or as the

NaGa Kanya!

 

Wide discrepancies in pricing and the reliability of the sources,

kept my bidding down -- and resulted in my NOT securing

several figurines which I dearly desired -- yet DID allow me to

acquire the best two (for sharing): one the HongShan Jade SunCrow

shown, and the Nepal version of the Dragon NuWa (with wings

as well) known there (and shown here) as the Naga Kanya.

The colorfully-painted, and gold-gilted, Naga Kanya statue

from Nepal was the same as several gold and bronze NuWa

statues which were on sale in Beijing and Hong Kong and

Shanghai (which I did not purchase, but have included

photos of here.)

Which begs the question again, which I am better articulating

every day, of: Who/what/when/ where is/was the origin of the

ancient goddess Nuwa, Nukua, Nugua, Naga of Greater China??

~~~~~

 

 

in greater China, she was the Nuwa dragon from the ocean

womb ... or alternately portrayed as the SunCrow, GrandMother

Sun. even today, the ancient Naga tribe/civilization of

East India is held in great respect for their aboriginal /

spiritual practices (very reminiscent of the aboriginal

Australians. )

 

and in Thailand and throughout SouthEast Asia NaGa is still

worshipped, and celebrated in great annual festivals.

 

[in Bhutan, currently, the Naga people of Naga-Land of NorthEast

India, are hiding-out across-the-border -- fighting their gorilla

war against India ... trying to secure greater territory and

autonomy for themselves and their tribe.]

 

question for those students of our ANCIENT herstory:

 

in China, the West was portrayed as Heaven, and the

source of enlightenment and enlightened beings. [with the

towering Himalayas between Heaven (the 'West') and China

(the East, Earth)].

 

viz. recent history and prince Siddhartha Gautama buddha,

whose teachings didn't reach China until a thousand

years or so after his death.

 

my wife, Megumi, in Japan affirms that in her cultural

education -- China always looked to the `West`, to greater

India, for spiritual practice.��[in Japan, the oldest goddess

statuary is of the Dogu, Stone Age clay-figurines, whom I assert

were in fact Kami-samas, Mother-God statues, which were kept

by and buried with the priestesses of Jomon period

Matrifocal aboriginal polynesian animist Japan!]

thus, the question, of EARLY Chinese herstory, the pre-Lao Tzu

Taoist period, and the times of worship of NuWa ... referred

to in Nepal and Indochina and India as Naga ... the dragon /

serpent goddess ...

 

did HER worship originate in the 'West', and then migrate

over the Himalayas thru Tibet and into China? what form did

SHE take in EARLY Tibet, before the recent patriarchal and

buddhist regimes? and what names did SHE go by?

10,000 years ago? 12,000 years ago?

 

she was VERY well established in Inner Mongolia/Manchuria (and

I presume southern China too) 6000 to 8000 years ago. [Two clay

Goddesses were uncovered in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia, in 1999 --

and dated to 5000 BC. "Distinctive features include large breasts,

the placement of both hands on the abdomen, and three holes in

each ear."]

 

the question is though, what is her origin?

 

the Indus Valley? the Himalayas? Polynesia? South America,

Northern Africa, the Middle East ... as in the universally-

worshipped Naga/Serpent Milky Way goddess portrayed by Mayans

and Aztecs and Egyptians and many many ancestral peoples?

 

did Nuwa walk the Himalayas, or navigate the Andes & Pacific?

and what were her many names and stories on those journeys and

voyages? [Amanogawa, great Milky Way serpent goddess, in Japan.]

 

or did SHE fly? `cross the sky ...

 

according to a friend, Professor Norman Girardot (Daoist scholar)

researched this issue and mentions it in a footnote in his now out

of print "Myth and Meaning in Early Taoism".

 

using the ancient goddess culture stories of the empty gourd that

gives birth to elixir / food, and divinity archetypes of the four

sacred directions and a divine center, he concluded that the earliest origin was likely polynesia.

GoddessTemple in Niuheliang, Liaoning, Inner Mongolia/Manchuria

~~~~~

 

 

"The Niuheliang Goddess Temple is situated at the junction of Jianping

country and Lingyuan county of northeast China's Liaoning Province.

Covering an area of 50 square kilometers, it is the place where the

famous Red Mountain culture site locates. Red mountain culture derives

its name from the Red Mountain at north suburb of Chifeng city, Inner

Mongolia, where the site was discovered. Red Mountain Culture was

created by tribes living at west Liaohe River valley about 5,000 to

7,000 years ago. Numerous prehistoric potteries and jade articles

were discovered here. The head portrait of the "Red Mountain Goddess"

and site of an ancient country consisting of Goddess Temple/tombs

(excavated in 1984) once caused a great stir in the world."

 

My pioneering discovery & awakening to life, came from beginnings

as a physicist & aerospace engineer.��I showed that light / electro-

magnetism, which we know as a helicoidal wave of transverse electric

and magnetic experience/sensatio n vectors -- self-connects, as in the

great story of the Dragon with tail in her mouth -- that is the wave

becomes a circle.�{This is called `reconnection` .] A transient thought

or vision or action becomes a permanent ritual, or physical being.�[in

the case of physics, I showed precisely HOW a lightwave becomes an

electron and a proton. HOW the spiritual or aethereal becomes physical,

of the same substance, consciousness. Spirit.]

 

The Tao, for thousands of years before Lao Tzu, was always referred

to as the pole star, center point of our trajectory, our chi-path,

our realization of the gong, in harmony with the cosmos. [The ninth,

neutral, silent, or center-square of the array of eight `voices`,

eight turtles of her creation song.]

 

The letter T's herstory was so sacred that the Greeks held on to it from

the most ancient aboriginal and animist times, incorporating the letter

in their later modern alphabet��It is said to represent the Cross, the

symbol of creation and infinity, and the Tao (after Tau, name of

the Southern Cross for ancient Asian and Polynesian peoples.)

The Southern Cross is the Southern `pole star` or pole constellation,

and is a central part of the Hawaiian cultural trans-Pacific

navigation legacy.

 

 

 

 

 

~~~~~

In "Isis Unveiled" Helena Blavatsky speaks of the Goddesses "Signet

Ring". (The Naga, the Dragon). She says it is the `Tetragrammaton` ,

"the four letters of the Divine Name, symbolized by the Tau Cross".

 

Modern Hawaiian uses the K, rather than the T -- thus the `top` star

of Crux, GaCrux, is named Kaulia (crucify) in the Hawaiian (a star

named the "chief of the month of Ikiiki" because it appears in the

month of Ikiiki.) -- in Maori and other polynesian languages the

letter T is used, and thus Gamma Crux is named Taulia!

 

~~~~

~~~~~~

 

Here is an equally-inspiring paragraph off the internet, apparently

making equally-revealing connections:

 

"The letter T heads the word "Tree" and can be seen as a tree. This

T also centers the word "altar". The vertical line holding up the

horizontal line reveals the structure of the T, as well as the basic

design of most altars -- elevated structures. The "Tau" heads the

Zodiac constellation Taurus, the fixed-earth sign vibration of

Mazzaroth. The brightest star in the constellation of Taurus is

Alderbaran, which in Arabic means Follower of the Pleiades -- the

Seven Sisters, the seven levels of being. The term "Tao" originates

from "Tau". "Tau-ha" means the stars that bring the rain, conveying

new life with their waters. "Tau" is synonymous with the word

"immersion". Thus, the T is a true symbol of the Tree of Life."

 

Certainly no better a depiction of the Goddess NuWa/Naga -- SHE who

is the water, the tree, the river ... seen in all aeternal, celestial,

chi-become-gong phenomena as experience for tens and hundreds of

thousands of years by enlightened humanity --

in an early life, Millennium Twain was the father of the US/International Space

Station Program. after his discovery of the lissajous electromagnetic structure

of the electron he went on to show the complete foundations of adolescent/

superficial 'science' (space, time, mass, energy, charge) in the actual complete

helicoidal electrodynamic aethereal experience of sacred nature (light, spirit,

consciousness, sensation, communication, knowing). he then went on to

discover and publish the topology of the proton, and the neutron, and the atomic

nucleus ... and to show the ubiquity of superluminal phenomena (including

discovery of the toroidal superstars) in the cosmic wilderness. later he designed

the series of X49 scramjet (air-breathing) spaceplanes, and is continuing that

trajectory in superluminal starship plans. his greatest insight, gift of our collective

ancestry, is his discovery/uncovery/ witnessing of the 'Eight Mother Turtles' (or Eight Cosmic Divinities) which make up the hierarchy of the eight 'layers'

or inward/outward shells of cosmic structure, enlightenment, life. with his wife

Tatsuzawa Megumi, Millennium (raw, vegan, organic, green, probiotic, bicyclist,

immortal) listens to our global culture, the growing feminine, the aboriginal

wisdom -- and shares what he can in every moment of every day. for our
