In 2004 trance channel Lena Lees began her psychic transmissions of Goddess Kuan Yin's modern spiritual teachings. While not as well known in the West, Chinese Goddess of Compassion and Mercy, Kuan Yin, has been traditionally highly venerated in the Chinese Pantheon. Her legend reaching far and wide, She has many names and forms. Known as Kannon in Japan, Avalokitesvara in India, Quan Am in Vietnam and Spyan-rasgzigs or Bodhisattva Chenresi in Tibet, She is the Eastern Deity who weeps for those upon the earth. And indeed, Goddess Kuan Yin is sharer of both misfortune and joy of the masses. Showing the Way, clasping in her hand the mythic weeping willow twig, She showers love, wisdom and compassion upon those who would follow.
Providing a tapestry of found pieces to the cosmic puzzle coupled with wondrous and mystifying phenomenon, Ms. Lees' amazing conversation with Asia's goddess of compassion, Kuan Yin, inform how each of us carry within us the twin potentials for rebirth: compassion and free will. The Goddess addresses how no matter where we have landed in our lives, we each experience seen and unseen forces. Addressing reincarnation, karma and free will Goddess Kuan Yin states: "There are the waves and there is the wind, seen and unseen forces. Everyone has these same elements in their lives, the seen and unseen, karma and free will. The question is, 'how are you going to handle what you have?'"
Focused upon the power of loving-kindness and the importance of intention and personal beliefs, Kuan Yin speaks with immediacy and ardor. This transcription of her channeled words is unique as it represents a direct and authentic communication with this ancient Goddess: her gift to humanity. Speaking through Lena at this crucial historical moment, Kuan Yin offers her wondrous insight and wisdom on crucial topics including the creation of personal reality, immortality, reincarnation and contemporary world affairs.
You may already be familiar with Goddess Kuan Yin. She has traditionally been (in Chinese culture) the protector of mothers and children. She has also been patroness and protector of fishermen. Not surprisingly, therefore, Kuan Yin speaks extensively on the power of motherly love, compassion and loving-kindness.
Beyond her wise and prophetic words, however, are her parables--vignettes demonstrating her profound teachings concerning one's creation of personal reality and immortality. Ever the changeling, Kuan Yin could, at any juncture, transform her guise. The embodiment of her empathetic and powerful message, her forms show the divine dynamic that is the God/Goddess Force. Transmuting with ecstatic abandon, the Goddess demonstrates how we are all a part of this vital dynamic. Appearing to Lena as thousand-arms Kuan Yin, she states: "So to attract and assist many people, I manifest in many ways."
Morphing into bigger than life, godlike forms, Kuan Yin demonstrates our full god-potential. Insisting evil does not exist and that nothing can overcome the God Force, Kuan Yin emphasizes there is no reason to fear. Teaching that no one is better than the next, she stresses the importance of accepting differences and the development of community.
Explaining it is necessary to return to this earth odyssey, experiencing even the darkness (ignorance) to finally enter Nirvana (Oneness), Kuan Yin insists that it is the earth experience which represents the most important step in our entire evolution: "Human mistakes and inaccuracies are no less important than divinity...the incredible process of being human allows for the higher self to acknowledge and extract divinity from one's trials and tribulations."
Furthermore, Kuan Yin advises that what is needed on earth is "compassion for the untruth". Touching "untruth's" shoulder with the utmost compassion, she demonstrates her infinite capacity for love and forgiveness. Stemming the tide of war and destruction can only occur, she maintains, through "sprinkling elements of truth and healing". This process requires one understand the issues of his or her life from a place of detachment. To examine one's life from this perspective allows the Higher Self to participate in daily choices and problem solving. While ego is responsible for maintaining the self in day-to-day reality, much of the pressure of decision-making can be mitigated when allowing one's relationship with the higher self to unfold.
Divinity is not, then, some distant or unattainable ideal. Rather is intimately associated with all that is considered part of a "realistic life". To spiritually assess one's personal dramas from a place of detachment; to regard them as integral to spiritual growth is an enlightened choice. This personal choice, in itself, has the power to transform the course of one's life path.
Manifesting during Lena's trance, Kuan Yin did not arrive with a list of instructions. Nor was there a user's manual so to interpret her many and varied transformations. Insisting that her kaleidoscopic shape shifting harbors the mysteries of the universe, Kuan Yin instead explains that it rests upon us to unravel the meanings of her vast array of amazing and mysterious forms.
Mirroring the myriad cultures and beliefs manifested upon this magnificent earth, Kuan Yin's transmutations demonstrate how God comes to us in many forms and with many teachings.
An intriguing question regarding Kuan Yin’s transmutations is the significance of her androgyny. While in ancient times Kuan Yin was primarily considered male, there has been a progressive feminization of the Deity throughout the ages.
In explaining her androgyny Kuan Yin is unapologetic, saying: “I’ll do whatever it takes to teach my followers my message of loving-kindness.”
I recall a passage wherein Lena, while in a profound trance, came abruptly upon an elderly caretaker. Tending a lakeside cabin, the caretaker suddenly began morphing, evading any single identification. Lena then began describing her trance image as first morphing into Buddha and then Kuan Yin.
Upon reflection, I supposed this was Kuan Yin’s way of not being gender stereotyped, of eluding such generalizations.
There were also several “rapid-fire” rounds: exciting passages in which Kuan Yin’s animations were so accelerated as to be nearly incomprehensible. These quick, successive “flicks” portrayed Kuan Yin as both male and female.
Changing genders, Kuan Yin demonstrates through back and forth movements how we, as migrating souls, incarnate as both male and female. The predominance of reincarnation doctrines concur, maintaining that all must live at least one incarnation as a male and one as a female.
Of paramount importance to this Goddess possessing infinite mercy is her concern over the "great divide" existing between men and women. Identifying it as a primary source for suffering and grief upon the earth, she portrays one side as the terrified men and the other as the defeated, powerless women. Maintaining that if every human being could recognize the power of the love and forgiveness principle, Kuan Yin states that "all consciousness on earth would change instantly".
Artificial separations, are responsible for the dynamic tension necessary for existence on earth, eventually drawing us back to Oneness. Kuan Yin instructs that our “Authentic Self”, the self that exists before we are born and after we die, is not male or female, young or old.
Living first hand, the physicality and emotions of maleness and femaleness, youth and maturity, we learn acceptance of differences. It is this morphing from lifetime to lifetime, then, teaching us the lesson of compassion from a place of power.
