- Quarter of Initiation (Mind)
›Description
If your Personality Sun (black column) is located in Gates 13, 30, 49, or 55, then you have the Kali archetype.
The wife of Shiva. Mother Goddess, symbol of destruction. She symbolizes eternal life. Eternal life has a price: only that which is immortal can be infinite. She is the Liberator, protecting those who know her.
The Myth
According to legend, the wicked demon (asura) Mahisha seized power over the world through force and cunning. The gods joined forces to create an invincible warrior, combining the flame of Shiva, the might of Vishnu, the strength of Indra, and the combat skills of many other celestials.
With a wild war cry, she rushed into battle, destroying thousands of enemies. Entire armies emerged from her breath, also launching attacks on the demons. Mountains crumbled, blood flowed like a river, and the very sky turned black with horror. The warrior goddess crushed Mahisha and, pinning him to the ground, struck off his head with a sword.
But she was so intoxicated and poisoned by the blood and the fray that she could not stop, beginning to destroy everything surrounding her. Then, celebrating her victory, Kali began a frenzied dance, shaking the entire world and threatening to destroy it.
Then Shiva turned into a crying child and lay before her on the battlefield strewn with corpses (in another version, he simply fell before her on the ground, and she stepped on him during her dance). Deceived by his illusions, Kali stopped and stuck out her tongue in surprise, and then began to soothe and breastfeed the infant. In the evening, to appease the goddess, Shiva performed the dance of creation ("Tandava"), and the delighted Kali joined him with her retinue.
The Gates
13 – The Fellowship of Man. Universal values, ordered and inspiring cooperation.
30 – The Clinging Fire. Acceptance of limitation as fate.
49 – Revolution. Transformation of forms based on higher principles, rather than for the sake of power.
55 – Abundance. Abundance is a question of spirit.
The Concept
Purification and transformation through destruction. She destroys the idea of "I am the body" and promotes the idea that "we are consciousness." She destroys ignorance, maintains world order, and creates the illusion that desire can be fulfilled. Death is not frightening—rebirth follows.
Key Qualities
Tribal emotional principles: "us versus them." The vivid manifestation of spiritual abundance makes the carrier and those nearby stronger. The embodiment of the evolutionary force of matter moving into spirit. As soon as responsibility for life is removed from oneself, one's own power is removed along with it. Genetic hunger: genetics push us toward action to learn from mistakes.
Relationship Between Masculine and Feminine
Shiva himself lay beneath her feet, thereby stopping the flow of destruction. Interpretation: Kali's horror at the realization that she is insulting her beloved spouse is what ultimately moderates her anger and stops the further destruction of the universe. This is Shiva's Gift to Kali: love and acceptance. Only one pure in spirit, unclouded by fear and attachment to self, can defeat the Dragon. Another interpretation: Kali, as it were, says to Shiva: "Recognize me as God, and I will let you live!"
The Message from God in a Nutshell
Kali is a warning. Collect, remember, recognize your own, take responsibility for your own life; in your decisions, wait for clarity—do not be led by your emotions. If you are incorrect with this energy, you will die. You are human, and you are here to evolve consciousness.
Living Your Design
The evolution of consciousness is possible only within form. The Personality Crystal reincarnates infinitely, and the entire history of our incarnations is stored within it. Our task is to acquire the experience intended specifically for us. To extract the most valuable part of that experience so that we can recognize it and share it. Goals are always correct when they arise from correct movement. Remain in the experience until it is complete.
