I wanted to recount this experience I had that was pretty far out, ,since we've been skipping around the topic of time under the archetype Chronos or Cronus recently, as a group...I don't know if this is true or not, it's just what I garnered from several hundred minutes of evolved tantric meditation....I'd like other people to go ahead and share some thoughts about time. I usually go with Einstein's idea that time is relative...I think that is very much correct.
I was talking to Mahakala once, just once...you see, Mahakala is this Tibetan demon god who was assimilated into Buddhism when Buddhism arrived in Tibet. All of the native gods were suddenly made into "good guys" - dharma guardians, because Buddhism just accepts everything. Everything. Some of the Vedic philosophers will have you believe that Siddhartha, the first person known to have attained buddhahood, if there is such a thing, was actually an avatar of Vishnu, the preserver, who floats on the ocean of bliss and sustains all of the three worlds, floating on the back of his daddy, Ananta, the giant serpent who's name means "endless". They say Vishnu/Krsna created Buddhism to trick people into ceasing the killing of animals. Who knows. Who cares, really?
Mahakala Panjaratha looks like the attachment I've included.
So this conversation was triggered by the Abrahadabra system, specifically the P'an Ku mirror and the Twinstar which I use nightly.
The path to Mahakala is fraught with peril. You are out of your godamned mind if you think you can rise to the level of *timelessness* without blowing a few circuits. The Buddhist concepts of "no-self" can come in handy here as a valuable mindset. Mahakala is black, because he transcends time, like a black hole, no light escapes at all. He rescues even the most terrible beings from the lowest hells. He has fangs like a vampire, and a manicure like a freaky bat that clutches an offering bowl full of blood in it. Around his waist are tiny human heads...
The explanation he gave me about time is that from the outermost reaches of the universe, time reaches into the innermost sanctuary, like light streaking through a diamond (ie facets of geometry interacting). Matter, such as humans or even great galaxies and planets, block the light from reaching into the center, and again - no god can ever survive going to the outermost reaches of the universe. The shape of the universe is like a cat, it can curl into a ball and stretch out again. Dharma is the cause and effect of these two actions, manifesting in the great void, or again "the belly of the cat"
Again, you have already read this before....do you get it yet? Nobody can!
Great lords of time, such as Mahakala, can oversee this process by simply absorbing themselves into the constant process of capturing light. They absorb it all and it does not create reactions in them. They can absorb so much they become timeless. And then they can alter the reality of the lower worlds. They are quick, because they are not taking up time. They are completely without ego and our dharma (our dharma) is split in half because of this....it creates the imbalance or balance known as god and man. Yet in all universe, there is not a single instance known that creates this effect, except the illusion of the mind. It is the great folly of the universe that such a debate exists between god and man.
Play....
The conclusion i arrived at was that I actually don't really exist at all...considering my ego's opinions that seems rather far-fetched but it might actually be true...it feels good believing that, oddly enough...
