Kali Mandir Temple

The Kali Mandir Temple in india
makes animal sacrifices on a regular basis
this is shocking to many to hear
but is not an uncommon practice with those
set on rituals that bring purification
the animal nature is what is to be destroyed
this is one of the deeper meanings of this ritual
the animal nature is what creates vibrations that come
from a lower plane
in the way of looking for physical connections and
hungering for pleasures that are not
of spirit or lead to anything holy
the animal nature are cravings, seeking always to satiate the
appetite in one way or another
this is what takes place in the world for many ongoing
...unending in it's pressing desire
so to sacrifice this nature of animal is what is offered over
to grace
to be burnt in the fires that purify...

The Kali Mandir Temple
makes goat sacrifices -
Guruji has spoke on this many times
that it is the stark taking away of life in one instant
in one breath, it is here, and the next gone
never to return as that unique manifestation
this is what death is --
no joke
coming at a time unknown --
and at *any* time...
completely impartial ..
not more lenient with one, than another ..
this is why some of the Buddhist rituals
truly live each moment as if it could be the last
always prepared within and without for death
to take the form-
this is also how the path is to be walked ..
staying in the heart and savoring each moment
without attachment...

The nandi bull is set on the altar facing
the Shiva Lingam
why?
because this is the animal/physical type of nature that is to be subservient
to the absolute --
and to be destroyed in the heat of Kali which is Guru's grace

The body is a vehicle truly and gives an opportunity
to enter into that which has never been born
and never dies ...
this is the end that is the beginning
and is the fruit that comes when one continues..
until then..
one holds steady in the moment ..
one breath at a time ..
one step at a time...

Om

a woman

a woman came tonite 

she was like a beautiful glow 

she wore only white 

her face was as an angel

so soft were her features 

her gait was light and as 

a feather that 

lifted itself easily 

with the natural flow of things 

she came close to your ear

and whispered,
my dear, you are lost in yourself, 

how come?

have you been thinking too much?

have you met something in the world 

that is so much better than 

truth? 

what will make you come back

to your soul? 

what will make you come to your joy?

oh dear one, 

what beauty is in your soul

and how it sings of love 

how it stills your thought 

how it is so full and rich

i am your perfection of beauty

and sing of truth only

come to me now

and be free

the lion and the lamb

i have not come in the way of haunting

or making of myself a name

i have come in the way of love

and have made of this life an open meadow

in which to wander freely without hinderance

i have come like a lion

and a lamb

in purity and beauty as this combination

is what has bred a spirit of great strength

and innocence

i have come in the way of *being* and not 

taking or giving what is not helpful to 

humanity or those that are in need of 

pure water to drink for the soul

i have come like a light 

in the dark of the night

as to make of my presence one that is 

of a hearty and true gift of peace

and do not want what is the nature of

misery or shadow

i cannot be a way that is of misdeeds or

watered down spirit

that dries the earth bed and makes not the 

precious life to bloom in glory

i cannot be of a nature that is of the dark

or the impure

oh my this would not be good at all

or have worth at all
i have come like a child
pure and deeply wise
so mighty in hand and tongue
as to right what is wrong
and seize the wandering energy
reign it in so all is made the way
it is meant to be
within perfection
beautifully true
and glorious

i have come

be with what is here...

be with what is here
now
not in the drama of mind
as this only serves to create
more shadows
and false realities...

in the end

souls, 

do not be persuaded by thought-waves 

for they are the surface energy of mind 

they speak of the world with it's passing phases 

as being cast in judgement or layers of personhood 

they speak of a world that is cast in shadows of 

conditionings that come from the root *me and mine*

they speak of a world that is washed in colorizations 

of time-element which is movement created by 

thought 

these thoughts are not at all true in what is heard 

for if you go in deep, you will see little by little

they will slow and die away

like a wave that was taken to be real 

these thought-waves make life something 

that is centered around a body-image, a 

person who is such and such and does such 

and such 

this is simply thought projection

these thought waves make life into a drama-story

that is fiction and when you stop believing in it 

and come inward 

there is a different reality that emerges 

it is different in the way of being made of 

light, beauty, joy, timeless in nature 

these thought waves take a long time to 

dissolve

so one must be vigilant and keep the heart 

always set on God-light 

and keep the heart always set on spirit-heart 

with the heart in the right place 

the snake will eat it's tail 

and there will be nothing but light in the end 

then there will be a coming back into pure life 

in the end 

another wave

my friend,

do you have a story to tell?

well i do too

of the time when sorrow is no more 

and the mind with it's way of dividing 

up men, women into classifications of 

color, creed, religion, philosophies, lands 

and all 

comes to a stop

because what is seen by the physical eyes and felt 

by the senses is so very 

limited in it's capacity to grasp the essence of the 

form

it is very much confined to judgement that stems 

from body attachment and attachment to kin, land,

and all that is temporal in nature 

we can only hope that more come to the path of truth 

and begin to see inside their own soul and begin to clear 

away the debris of mistaken understanding that clouds clarity 

we can only hope that more come forward as lights 

and take that walk towards a greater good that is 

very difficult beyond imagining, yet steeped in grace and 

fragrance of life that goes so much deeper than the surface playing 

out 

we can only hope that more come to the waters of light to 

bathe and wash away impurities of ignorance, the ignorance 

of dualistic preoccupations that indeed draw lines between mine and yours 

and here and there which puts in place all the consequences of warring division

that is seen and felt as waves and vibrations thru the land 

we can only hope that more begin to face their own limited views, question them

relentlessly so as to open up more space to breathe and see clearer

we can only hope that more come to be quieter inside and see the world in a 

heart-centered way and see souls in a heart-centered way

for even with all the drama in the world that is disturbing on so many levels 

we must begin (and continue) where we are at and forge onward thru the mud 

we are made of so much more souls

i know you agree

we are made of soul-fire, grit, beauty, love, understanding, kali-energy, kundalini,

heaven-nature, heart and pure spirit truly

so we must continue on (to find) and refresh in the living waters 

that will indeed wash away doership/ego-based mentality and actions so another 

wave can be put into motion of light, light..... 

for this wave is there still working underneath and rinsing the spell of ego away 

under this dust of worldly views and activities...

believe in it --- come to it .... 

be the light that you are ....

at the heart

the world carries on in
it's drama and categorizations
of people
but my friend,
the heart of all religions is one
like a prized gem that is pristine,
cleaned out of any mistakes that egoic drama
moves by
the heart of all culture that is seasoned with
love and care is one undivided soul-fire
for all that carries the seed of love
carries the beauty of nature, freedom,
nourishment, vibrant health, harmony
kinship and good will
and it is a shame to see love soiled by drama
that has as it's base self-bolstering, self justifying
and self love (or ego-love)
such a shame
