How Does One Fire a Goddess?

July 4, 2007

Namaste Group:

Now that you mention it, how does one fire a goddess?

The girl may symbolically represent Ma Kali, or she

like the rest of the women in this world may have an

aspect of Ma.

It seems to me another nasty aspect of misogyny. They

need to keep the woman on a leash. They forget that

you can't leash up Ma.

Ma Kali is completely free from the fetters of

society. I believe that is part of the symbolism in

her murtis.

Can we write letters of protest to these individuals

who " fired " her?

Jai Maa!

What good would that do? Seriously...you could write leters -- you could even

engange in violence. but how would that enlighten folks, how would that really

" open minds " ? people who hold the view that a representative, a proxy of the

Goddess, the Feminine Divinity, can be simply railroaded by proxy -- is writing

a leter going to do anything but inform them that they should be more subtle and

sneaky in forcing their opinions on the world?

Of COURSE you can write letters of protest. But often when people in

bureaucratic opinions get letters of protest of their *policy --* they laugh

coldly and redouble their efforts.

It's the power they are addicted to -- the power to create what political

journalist-slash-novelist Hunter S. Thompson quoted Kierkegaarde by invoking by

way of demonstration -- the power of *fear and loathing.*

Writing letters can be " a first step " but it will take more than letters to get

them to change their ways. They have generations of unopposed imposition of

their attitudes to make them think they are utterly, innocently correct in

treating female humanity thus...

If you were to try to fire Kali Ma, she'd probably laugh Her ass off... and when

the universe finally settles back down and finishes trembling... well, one might

get the picture.

If human beings can appoint someone to be a symbolic representation of Ma, they

no doubt can also fire her. However, if her intrinsic nature as none other than

Ma (as we all are) has truly awakened, She may just waltz right across their

preconceived notions, boundaries and " traditions. "

And in the process reveal what her " handlers " (as it were) have really been up

to all along. Or, as a bumper sticker I saw years ago put it, " the Lord is
