Mantra
Asato Mā Sad Gamaya
From the Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad — the prayer of the seeker in transit.
Rational fortress as self-betrayal — atheist of her own soul.
Bridge cognition — fluent in both DSM and Upanishads.
The Luminous Mind — intellect suffused with reverence.
The Council Circle — she recognises it before she has been there.
Her egg travels with her to Auroville; the dragon stirs under the banyan when she hears the field is ready.
Linked to Mei (17th-c. monasteries, shared teacher) and to Ixchel (guided her in the Between).
The inner voice — hardest to name because it hides inside competence.
