THE GODDESS'S COURT OF JUDGMENT ____________________________________________________________ By the grace of She who is the Embracer of Opposites, I greet you. Kali Ma, the bloody, has a message of hope for us all. And that message is, "You better HOPE I'm in a merciful mood if I catch you napping." We have no reason to assume that because we as individuals, have not been unvirtuous that we will be spared in the inevitable upheaval. People avoid getting too involved in things sometimes because they are trying to avoid pain. Wrong. Remember, pain is not necessarily punishment, sometimes it's just a part of life. Children are born innocent, but it still hurts to be born. Pain is a part of life, sometimes an unavoidable part. Knowing this, we can be courageous and philosophical in the face of opposition, setbacks, failure, strife, and suffering. Kali Ma also gives us boldness to attack obstacles blocking our way, because we know that our lives and dreams are as sacred as anyone's, and as deserving of fulfillment. HER blessing in upon us without reservation, and Her powerful aid is ours to call upon, at all times, especially in times of trouble. When the spirit of Kali is strong in you, you know it, because a power flows through you which empowers you to act, and you find yourself acting decisively. There is nothing namby-pamby about it. If the petunias get trampled, then, by golly, the petunias get trampled. If you have to break a window to get into your own damn house, then break the window. This world of miracles and wonders is our world. We belong here. The Goddess herself put us here. SHE gave us this most marvelous proof of Her love and care: Life, and a great place to live it out. We have in our possession this fabulous ruby, rare and incredibly beautiful, then some right proper bastard grabs it and runs. Fortunately the Goddess is watching, so She guides the evildoer to a slippery spot, where he loses his footing, starts to fall, and loses his grip on the ruby, and it goes flying! We right red hot now have a chance to recover what is ours. So into the shit, dear friends! The Goddess's ruby flew into the shit heap, and if we are to recover it we have to be willing to get dirty! Be aware that the enemy still wants it too, and by the way, wishes us no good luck. Sure, it's dark, and we will have to feel our way, but damn it, we gotta have that ruby! It's not enough to keep it from the enemy, we have to be sure it's honored and cherished as it should be. The enemy will only exploit it, and damn it, we can't let the rotter win! Sure, when it's dark and covered with shit, any stone might be the ruby, but once you've spit on it and rubbed a little it's apparent what you've got. Keep the common stones you find, because you can throw 'em at the enemy. He wants a red rock so bad, you can give him this one, and hopefully it will be red enough after it hits him. Or would you rather be watching this drama, munching popcorn and staying out of it? Some might root for the bad guy, but let's assume you cheer for the hero. Still, you only watch and wait. The ruby is grasped, two forces struggle, suddenly all dissolves and we are in the Goddess's Court of Judgment. How do you think the Goddess will treat those who are before herfor Her Divine Judgment, when one comes complaining that Her world is too slippery, one stands before her covered with shit, and one stands there squeaky-clean and calm? To the first She will say: You robbed the rightful owner of that which you would then spoil. The Judgment is against you. To the second she will say: Well done, faithful one. I restore to you that which is and was yours. Return, in peace, with my blessing. To the third She will say: Why did you do nothing? "Goddess, I was rooting for the good guy all the time!" Rising up in glorious fury, the Goddess will say: To Do Nothing Is Worse Than To Do Evil. Those Who Know Me Know This. Stranger, Begone, And My Curses Follow You! Our Goddess is the Goddess of action. Action is what she likes. Action is Her middle name. So put your butt in action, and feel the burn. Take some chances; experiment with your situation; push the envelope, and don't worry about looking foolish half as much as looking bored. That is when you will feel Her, because She will be right there, egging you on. How to get the attention and aid of our Powerful Goddess: Do Something. Once you begin, all the forces of the universe will open up to you. It's as if moving your behind out into the field of action is like moving the Holy Faucet into the ON position. Stuff begins to pour through your life, and you have a world of choices. Pain will come with it all, as will new pleasures. You just gotta have an attitude about it. Take a stand, get on one side or the other, and go for it. May the winds of change fill your sails, which bear you toward afuller life. ____________________________________________________________ EOF
