Message from the Universe 🗣
I’ve been pondering this message of Duality, for some days… specifically pertaining to Creation vs destruction. Using Clear Quartz & Obsidian on your journey.
I’m going to use Kali because she is one of the energies that saved my life. When I myself was going through this period of destruction and creation. And still when things arise, this Goddess helps me till this day.
History…
So Durga (Kali) was fighting this demon Raktabija, who had a mind-blowing advantage: every drop of blood that hit the battlefield produced a whole new him. So Battling the endlessly reproducing blood demons made Durga furious. She got so mad that Kali popped straight out of her forehead, a wild ass, ferocious, knife-wielding manifestation of her rage, with an appetite for blood and destruction. Kali straight up ate Raktabija and his minions for lunch, leaving the battlefield and her enemy bloodless.
She became so almost drunk with her new powerful self she was gonna destroy everything. So this is when her bae Shiva came along. She’s often found standing on her husband’s chest. Shiva, the destroyer, also known as the god of cannabis, is apparently the only one who can stop Kali’s destructive streak. And to do so he laid at her feet to stop her from destroying the universe. Fitting that the Hindu pot god would be the chill that Kali needs.
How this relates to us…
So yes when exploring the imagery of Ma Kali, you’ll find violent weaponry, carcasses, severed heads and blood. This is not merely some weird religious occultism. This is the very nature that a mystic seeker must adopt to free herself. She got so tired of the shit that she created a new version through destruction.
Destruction and using the blade of truth:
The Obsidian. The path of personal mysticism is not an easy task. To proceed, we must bring up our nastiest, hidden and repressed truths in order to neutralize and transmute that energy. Like obsidian it is dark, but we can see through, and it has given us protection as well.
You are not limited by your darkness. Your past experiences and beliefs brought learning... taught you who you are "not." Truth is a fierce thing, in and of itself. It cuts through, it destroys, it levels. Often ugly, shocking, and grotesque... it explodes to the surface demanding our acknowledgement.
Creation….
Now you can embrace that "not-ness." Clear Quartz teaches us that we are free of those entanglements and oppositions. In the "I AM" presence of pure self, we emanate the highest forms of truth and love and we can literally be anything. We do this through clearing, from the blank slate created through acknowledgement and transmutation, only then we can start anew. This is why these two crystals work so well together.
As mystics, this fierce leveling of falsehood is our ally... it is never an enemy. It hurts yes, it’s nasty and bloody at times. However we stand in authenticity and we do not hide from the truth, we revel it in. We think it in our minds, utter it from our mouths and manifest it into form. It may frighten others, but that's okay. Once you're this far along on the path you no longer care what others think. Say what needs to be said; create what needs to be created; do what needs to be done.
The way is through love...
​
Self-love acknowledges the first law of nature... self-preservation. We do not "give ourselves away" as martyrs to falsehood. Instead we stand fiercely as agents of Truth. Seekers of wisdom. And Givers of knowledge.
But, Before we can lend our aid to the world (in its collective bringing up and facing of darkness) we must first bring up and face our own.
These energies can be found in Ugra Kali Tara, Mother Sekmet, Hathor, Ra. You decide just because something is destructive does not mean that something else is not being created as is vice versa.
With Love, Lisa K. 💋
