Eastern cultures have been worshipping Kwan Yin, Kuan Yin, Quan Yin, Kannon, and Guan Yin, as the Most Compassionate Goddess of Mercy.
She was immediately connected to the worship of Virgin Mary (when Christianity was introduced into Asia), as she is the embodiment of Compassion, a motherly figure said to bestow children on the faithful, protect those at sea, protect all children and be there for anyone in need of her compassion and love.
Kwan Yin is said to hear all prayers. The name Kuan Shih Yin literally means "The one who observes, watches and hears the cries of the world".
Legend says Kuan Yin was originally a princess who forsook marriage, and lived her saintly life in a convent, against her father (the King’s) will.
She became a Buddhist Bodhisattva (a mortal who has achieved enlightenment and earned the right to enter Heaven or Nirvana).
It is said that as she approached the gates of Heaven, she heard a cry for help, turned immediately back, and vowed that she would stay on Earth to do all she could to ease our suffering.
She vowed she would not enter Heaven until everyone all could go with her.
In sheer numbers of humanity, Kwan Yin is the most venerated Goddess of all. She is revered by all Chinese (over 2 billion people), most Japanese, and all Buddhists everywhere, due to her unconditional love, compassion and mercy.
She is generally regarded by many as the protector of women and children. By this association she is also seen as a fertility goddess capable of granting children. She is also seen as the champion of the unfortunate, the sick, the disabled, the poor, and those in trouble.
The maritime people of China regard her as the protector of fisherman, sailors and generally people who are out at sea. Recently she has been called a sort of Asian St. Christopher, as the protector of air travellers. Chinese business people and traders venerate her as a Goddess of Luck and Fortune, as well as anyone who believes in her. Centuries ago, enlightened Buddhist monks wrote 100 verses that they attribute to their meditations on Kwan Yin, and believe these actually came from her by inspiration.
These form the basis of an oracle that is consulted with great regularity in Asian culture. In a bamboo cup, 100 numbered slivers of bamboo are shaken until one falls out. This number corresponds to one of the 100 poems of Kwan Yin, and reveals wise counsel and advice on your problems and necessary action you should take. A Buddhist priest can interpret them for you, or as the poems are so exact, you can interpret them for yourself. The experience is quite calming and reassuring. One does not have to be a Buddhist to consult Kwan Yin and her Oracle, and if you believe in the Tarot, Astrology or other forms of divination, you will find the Oracle of Kwan Yin very helpful and enlightening.
Every once in a while the Masters will say something quickly and then move on. I guess it is not that significant to them, but for us it is like a little bombshell. At a session with a Marjorie Musacchio, a Kwan Yin and Ascended Master channel, one of the Masters was talking about the economy, as we are around the Black Friday 20-year anniversary date and the crash of 1929. So I asked Kwan Yin about this and this is what she said:
"It's going to make a ride. There is a rhythm to it. We are not going to say that it is going to crash around everyone's ears, but there is that time when people have been paying attention only minimally to where it is they are putting their attention. If one is putting their attention into - this is the big one - needing to have more money in their lives so that they can find the freedom and feel the awareness of being happy, then they are going to have more lessons than the rest of the people. You say, how can that happen when everyone is all in one stock market or in one economy? It's attachment. When people are attached, they feel the pain more. With less attachment, they are not going to feel the strain as much."
Craig: "So something is brewing."
Kwan yin: "Oh yes."
Craig: "Will it be this year?"
Kwan Yin: "Well we can see that there are going to be rhythms to it. You certainly will experience the 'Oh, look at that... Oh, watch that' but as far as everyone running around jumping out of windows as before, we don't see that happening. Astrologically it is similar, but each time you go up the mountain it is different. If the little ones in their consciousness are working with the higher consciousness, have a receptivity and an awareness, they are not going to be putting all their attention on having to have physical material needs met. But the largest part of your society is there. So as you move into the next few months, being aware and awake to what is happening, re-establish inside of yourself that 'I AM the source of all good' and then send it out to everyone around you. Send it out to every bank in your community. Send it out in depth into the idea and idealism of the community of people that are attached to having to have a commerce be their God. Commerce is not the God."
Craig: "In our book I asked about the economy and you answered my question with a question saying 'What comes after depression? Recession.' Could it be that we are already in a recession, but that it is being held up artificially?"
Kwan Yin: "Yes."
Craig: "Because it's all just entries on a computer screen, its all just held up by ones and zeros."
Kwan Yin: "And it is all just held up by people who want, want, want; need, need, need; project, project, project."
Craig: "And big greed."
Kwan Yin: "So pray for them, so that they can resolve their need and their greed without taking all the people with them."
Craig: "Do you see that the solar power will come up and people will try to get more independent with that?"
Kwan Yin: "We don not see it in the near future. We see that people are thinking about it. Is it going to happen? Not so fast. There are groups of people who are really moving into that awareness. But we have talked about cities, they are not the best of consciousness to exist in. Move yourself into country setting where it is that the grass is speaking to you rather than the bricks. It is more useful, yes?"
"There are sooo many things happening in all the worlds. There are those moments in time where the brain will absolutely say, I can't... can't... can't, and then all of a sudden it clicks in. Just hang out with the 'I can't' because that is the brain saying that. But once you just stay in steady mode, what happens is more and more receptivity. More rest, more receptivity, a new name for the "R" words. Rest, Receptivity and Remember. Take your rest, your relaxation and your remembering into an integrated part of your day, and you keep it uppermost in your mind. It is very important because people will get wrapped up in where they are going, then all of a sudden they won't be going there, that much we can say to you."
