Parvati embodies the divine strength of devotion; she is the mountain that love becomes when we devote ourselves to another and to our own soul. Parvati is the Hindu goddess of fertility, of love and devotion, and of divine strength and power. She is the gentle, nurturing aspect of Shakti, or feminine energy. She is part of the Tridevi, a trinity of
powerful Hindu goddesses together with Lakshmi and Saraswati.
Parvati’s name means “she of the mountain.” Her icons and depictions date back to 400 BC. She is Shiva’s wife, and holds his trident, and she is the mother of Ganesha, the Hindu god who removes all obstacles. Shiva lives with Parvati in her house on Mount Kailash. Their favorite pastime is discussing Hindu theology. Traditionally in India women go to live with their husband’s family, so this reversal reveals Parvati’s priority and power. By living on Mount Kailash, Shiva becomes a part of Parvati’s lineage. She is the bond that connects all human beings, a bond of love that helps our souls evolve.
When your soul selects her card:
What is soft, gentle, and nurturing like water can be far more powerful than what is inflexible and fierce. The energy of this mountain goddess is about the strength we can give and receive when we devote ourselves to the healthy bonds of love. Parvati is about the divine feminine potency of being a calm, benevolent presence especially when
something seems to threaten a deeply meaningful relationship. Transformation with this goddess calls for a softening. When a situation is hard, even moments when our ego has typically fled infuses us with the capacity to transform all of our relationships. Devotion is not attachment. It’s letting go of the illusion that you and this lover, this
friend, this child, or family member, this soul within you can ever really be separate from you. Devotion brings us home to the point and purpose of every relationship; love. A love that can never leave, and that like a mountain can never move. A love that evolves the soul. “

2:22--"When the Gods send you a blessing, you don't ask why it was sent." (An instrumental of Moses' mother's lullaby floats in)

I love that bit. For all the credit and praise people give Moses for his role in the story, it all started with his two mothers--his biological one and the one who raised him. Those two women lived in a world dominated and ruled by men, existed in completely separate social spheres, and had different ethnic and religious backgrounds, yet they transcended all those things for their love of the same child. Beautiful. It just goes to show how powerful the Feminine, in both human and divine form, can be. Blessed be. )O(

Our lives are made of stories that manifest in and around us. At first, they may seem like complete (incomplete) nonsense. What is this substrate we’re swimming in? Rhymes? Poetry?
Relaxing into the flow of it, there is no doubt that it supports us in expression and absorption; it is nourishing.
We have sometimes thought of it as a foil; if onlookers might somehow detest our naturally strengthening substrate, we will not broach the most important subjects. It wouldn’t be safe to do so.
But if our substrate endears us to others, if our substrate is curious and nourishing to others --- then we will be able to talk about what really matters.
One step can lead us to another.
What substrate supports you best?
What is your substrate energizing?
What do you need to talk about in safety, support, and belonging?
What really matters?
What’s resonating?

this weakness is a valuable catalyst

I sort of remember coming into this pattern of publishing at any moment it felt most right, the rhythm of it being healing and stabilizing. It seemed to put me in immediate contact with my own self and with some collection of others resonating on the frequency. So it would be 5:00 a.m., 5:15 a.m. I believe actually, and my body would be ricocheting through strange subtle responses to the poisons being introduced to it, most of them misled, lied, or gaslighted about. It would be 5:15 a.m. and I would be wide awake, wondering why. Too much unaware of how my natural cycles were being squeezed, molded, pushed at, pinched. And very faintly realizing how perfect and right it was to imagine myself leaping up, donning shoes, going out running through the dark and pre-dawn morning mist. I figured it out later. Many times, I tried and balked at somatic obstacles, no idea about all the poisons. I mean, inklings. Little ideas here and there, but nothing that stabilized. Like building on sand. And then a lot later on, as the poisons built up and my function repeatedly failed... well, what would there be to do about it anyway? We have all continued to choose this hell. The men with the money say the poisons are good for us, no harm at all. With all that money, they probably know what they're talking about.

so much recogniion of above

Appalling unnecessary unconscionable Injustice

Solvable problems

Communication flow

Navigating distress and complexity

"complex" doesn't have to mean "impossible"

"life is not like that"

Amenability to transformative change :-)

Pockets of even temporary collaboration :-)

'Significantly, Eve’s punishment for her “sin” consists of patriarchal marriage. Her desire must be only for her husband, she must leave her Garden and follow him over the barren male-ordered earth, condemned to unwanted pregnancies and painful childbirth. In other words, patrilocal marriage, in which she is isolated from the women’s collective and deprived of her ancient knowledge of herbal contraception and narcotics used for painless labor. She is no longer priestess and midwife to the Goddess. She will now bear children bitterly and they will “belong” to the man. She must also passively make love to Adam on her back, he enacting the male Sky Father over her meek female Earth. She must play the role of “corrupt matter” chained to a husband forever striving to “free” his immortal spirit from her.
Eve is still Everywoman. With other world creation myths reduced to “only fairy tales,” the Old Testament Genesis is still treated with seriousness and respect in the Western political and cultural world. Even people who are not practicing Jews or Christians are affected by it, for the patriarchal notions enshrined in Genesis are at the base of all our cultural, political, and economic institutions. In contradistinction to the U.S. Constitution, we might add, American law and custom have always been heavily influenced by the Bible, because the men who make law and custom have been raised to believe the Bible is “the truth.” No need to point out to women, in the 1980s, that anti-abortion legislation, job discrimination, pay inequity, and marriage laws against women are still roundly justified in the U.S. Congress as “God’s will.” Genesis is quoted to “prove” that God designed women to be dependent helpmates to men. Any legislation or custom that might free women from such economic or biological or social dependence, anything that might further women’s autonomy of choice, is bulldozed by the Bible-quoters as a “threat to the family”—i.e., the biblical patriarchal family, which has indeed historically depended on female slave labor. Sex inequity, otherwise known as “God’s plan for man,” has for two millennia been a major bastion of support for a class-economic system designed to profit the few by underpaying the many. “God” is used to justify this system because all else fails to justify it; and the God of Genesis, who wrote the rules for sex inequity in our part of the world, now sits in the executive boardrooms of most global corporations, making sure these archaic but lucrative discriminations are interwoven tightly into our high-tech futures.'' -Monica Sjöö and Barbara Mor, The Great Cosmic Mothe
