I am not the authority for which you seek. I have not come to answer or fix that which is not mans/womens to undo. Yet, I wish to share bits and pieces of information on Kali with you lovingly.

Please...allow me such grace.

O Goddess, who removest the suffering of they supplicants, be gracious!

Be gracious, O Mother of the whole world!

Be gracious, O Queen of the universe; safe guard the universe!

Thou, O Goddess, art Queen of all that is movable and immovable!

Thou alone hast become the support of the world,
Because thou dost subsist in the form of the earth!

Be thee, who existest in the form of water, all
This universe is filled, O thou inviolable in they valor!

Thou art Vishnu's energy, boundless in they valor;
Thou art the Germ of the universe, thou art Illusion sublime!

All this world has been bewitched, O Goddess;
Thou indeed when attained art the cause of the final emancipation from existance on earth!...

O Goddess, be gracious!

Protect us wholly from fear of our foes
Perpetually, as thou hast at this very time saved us promptly by the slaughter of the demons!

And bring thou quickly to rest the sins of all the worlds
And the great calamities which have sprung
from the maturing of portents!

To us who are prostrate be thou gracious,
O Goddess, who takest away affliction from the universe!

O thou worthy of praise from the dwellers in
the three worlds,
Bestow thou boons on the worlds!

Hinduism, Markandeya Purana

Candi Mahatmya 10: Worship of the Mosther Goddess or feminine principle is prominent in contemporary Hinduism. She is identified with the earth - Atharva Veda 12.1, p. 207: with paratriti/matter, and maya/illusion-cf. Shiva Purana, p. 118. Often she is depicted in her terrible aspect as a dread warrior and destroyer of evil. The Goddess is known by various names: DURGA KALI SHAKTI DEVI; in this text she is called by the name CANDIKA.

I disagree...

There are various martial arts that are not spiritual. There intention is for other purposes. They are created to serve differently.

Free will.

War, close combat attack, magical arts, power and intimidation.

Think about arts that may include such tactics, it is what man does with such arts that determines whether they are in service to all of humanity or not.

CHOICE! ACTION!

What one does in the moment, with what one has learned.

In deep thought and meditation,

Actaully,

I am very familiar with this work and Tesla, who is my all time favorite scientist. I suggested this topic. It is a passion of mine. Just wondering who is willing to take it to deeper levels of thought and exploration. Desiring for you to clarify how many trees it would take, knowing you knew it was more than one.

Pondering mind...

"Humanity was created to have an endless variety of personalities for the purpose of gaining infinite varieties of experience," according to Owen Waters, Author of the Shift, The Revolution of Human Consciousness.

Ring a bell, doesn't it...

Sure chimes in for me. It is lyrical like a song played upon piano keys, building one note upon another, chord upon chord, taking on a consciousness of its own, seeking just the right development in tune with the greater symphony.

I feel chimerical...a spiritual awakening bursting forth within. I am the student who seeks to lead and takes action when I've listened to my own inner intuition and followed my dream awakened within.

My heart hears the song of a global dream, a united vision that awakens me from a sound sleep and beckons me to hum its tune. Directing me to delve deeper, reach a little higher and expand into unknown territories, new thought and acceptance I'd missed only just yesterday.

What chimes true for you?

Could you please take a moment and hum a little of your tune?

Some tunes will resonate loud and strong? Others soft and melodic, some filled with power more like the beating of a drum. Others will be of such a quality as to cause goose bumps upon the skin, whenever you hear their chord struck just so. Some will communicate clearly and others in chaos seeming wild and untamed. Some will fit the moment and others the locale. There will be those chimes and notes that bleed into the hearts of those who hear the silence.

Listening with an open heart,
suzyq
