When you grow up in that system you feel utterly secure because you belong to all that there is, and all that there is belongs to you. Earth Mother has a sister, the Sun, and these two are responsible for all beings on Earth, in our way of thinking. Our Earth Mother is all of our mothers we don’t just have one mother – everything is Mother. Of course ‘family’ doesn’t just apply to humans: it applies to all life – our family extends to all species and is inclusive of everything. They look after everything – in the realm of caring by these two mothers, all are brothers and sisters! It makes everything so easy and so natural. After all, that is what we get from Earth Mother that is what we get from Sun Mother (female energy) and that is what we get from Moon Father (male energy). Our purpose is to live with the Kanyini principles of unconditional, unlimited love. Kanyini is best expressed in English as the combination of the two words ‘responsibility’ and ‘love’, but it is actually a relationship it is an enormous caring with no limit – it has no timeframe: it is eternal.
