Kali symbology

Kali looks fierce and foreboding
to the one that does not understand her aim
her tongue is out in a whimsical manner really
as she does not care at all what the world of duality thinks
she is simply the pure energy and will not cater
to ego in any shape or form --
so this symbol speaks to her aloofness to the world and
its antics ---
the skulls around her neck represent collecting death
in the way of releasing souls from the bondage of suffering
and attachment to form
it also symbolizes the inevitability of resting in her essence
sooner or later as everything passes
the head in her hand displays the power of her energy
she captures the head and with this goes all thoughts
which is liberation --
it is not a gruesome type of thing like it looks
it is freedom from form, thinking, ego (attachment to body/mind drama)
and suffering
it is a showing of success as the  seekers journey
has ended and there is no more searching
no one left to search ---
this one is done, finished, completed and there are no more
seeds of duality left
what remains is the peace of non-dual bliss that is the truth within
all beings
