Guest guest Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 Hello Rayne, I made a list of books that I have read or would like to read about Kali here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/listmania/list-browse/-/2GJF85JMOOCT3/ref=c\ m_aya_lm_title.more/102-5092186-7768921 if the link doesn't work I created a text file in the files of the group. It's at the bottom of the list but you should read it first: The Complete Idiot's Guide® to Hinduism By Linda Johnsen. I've been at this for ten years and I still have a lot to learn. If you like amazon and have an account the link up there is the ticket. Also if you have any more question feel free to email me directly.

Ma Kali, representing the entire manifest universe and all its dynamics, is not inclined to communication with individuals, in my opinion. That's not to say that people don't speak to Her and vice-versa, just that the entire communication takes place completely within the purview of your individual personality, and so you should look to yourself more for the answers you are seeking, rather than try to find causation outside yourself. http://www.kalimandir.org/ is a great place to explore the culture of shaktism as it exists in the US.

I'm not suggesting that one cannot communicate with Kali, just that one always does so by the agency of your own individual makeup. Ma talks to you *through* you, so the more you can know about yourself in a psuedo-objective way (as there is no real self-objectivity,) the more you can make of your relationship to Ma. As Len has pointed out, Ma is just a cultural symbol which becomes enlivened with our love. It's like we make a picture of Her in our hearts, using the iconography to draw the outlines. When we add love, that essence of reality we like to call God enters and fills in the colors between the lines. So Ma is as much us and what we are giving to Her as She is Herself and what She is doing with us. --jody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
