I know there are tons of documentary lists but they miss a good one here and there.
Please take a moment to post a link in this thread if you see a good documentary or lecture. :sun:

A very interesting interview with Bhagavan Dass:

Yeah man... this guy is fucking AWESOME. I don't think I've ever heard anything that explains the nature of the 2012 shift in a more approachable way.

And uh.. oh shit. I feel so empowered by watching that, it's not even funny. Self acceptance, here I come.

Hey Middleman, thank you very much for posting these Bhagavad Das videos. They REALLY helped to balance me back towards the heart after I got my mind all wrapped up in David Wilcock's lecture. I was having trouble just absorbing the knowledge... my mind was racing and getting all "oh my god, gotta fix it NOW" when in actuality what I really need is advice more like Bhagavan's, to just be in the experience of suffering.

So thanks.

Hey I'm right there with you man.

When I first saw that picture of Kali in Be Here Now I didn't know what to think about it.

But after much excess and loss I am beginning to understand what the Dark Goddess represents.

She is excruciatingly beautiful. She is the one who slays the slayer.

Wait... she is the one who slays the slayer... this is intriguing. Who then, is the slayer? Shiva? How do they differentiate then? Oy...

I have quite a time understanding this stuff...

I was referencing the saying: "The mind is the slayer of the real, let the disciple slay the slayer."

Kali and Shiva are lovers or even the same being. Kali is the active aspect Shiva.

I view all mythological figures as aspects of my own psyche on one level...

In the Upanishads it says: "That is far and at the same time, that is near. That moves and that moves not. That is within and that is without. It moves and it moves not." When Kali is performing her role, reality is moving. When Shiva is performing, reality is silent. When they perform together, that moves and that moves not. With our human consciousness, when we try to see the Truth, it is far, very far. But with our divine consciousness, when we try to see the Truth, it is all near; it is right in front of our nose.

"That is within and that is without." These conflicting terms cease when our inner consciousness is fully awakened. If something is within, then that very thing also has to be without. If there is a seed, then there will be a tree. If there is a tree, there also is a seed. If the Truth is already there within, then the Truth has to be manifested sooner or later outside.

Mother Kali is the dynamic aspect of the Transcendental Truth and Lord Shiva is the silent aspect of the highest Transcendental Truth. They fulfill the highest Supreme together, like the obverse and the reverse of the same coin. Shiva is silent and Kali is active and dynamic. If we see with our ordinary human eyes, then we say that they are separate. But with our inner eye if we see them, we see that they are together.

Yeah, Hindu mythology is even more confusing than Egyptian.

I thought Shakti was Shiva's lover so I tried to find the Kali / Shakti relation and this is wht I found:



The image of Kali is seen at virtually all Navratri celebrations and is one of the best known, but poorly understood forms of the Goddess. She is dark destructive and terrible in image. She is allied to the forces of death and destruction. The most common image of Kali shows her dancing on Shiva. This article aims to give an insight into Hinduism's use of such mystic imagery.
Shiva and Shakti

Within Hinduism, the divine is not restricted solely as masculine or feminine, which is a unique feature compared with other major religions of today. The divine is not referred to only as 'He'. In the Shaivite tradition, the supreme divine reality is represented as Shiva-Shakti. Shiva is the masculine force, the power of peace, while Shakti translates to power, and is considered as the feminine force. In the Vaishnava tradition, these realities are portrayed as Vishnu and Laxmi, or Radha and Krishna. These are differences in formulation rather than a fundamental difference in the principles. To render Shakti as power may cause some misconceptions. Shakti is the power of Shiva. It is not a power born of aggression or domination, but a power born from the strength of the silent consciousness, the energy which comes forth from the void, the life and creation that stems forth from the still eternal consciousness. Shakti is not a power which is asserted against something, but a power which enlivens everything from within. Shiva is the still consciousness, the spirit which pervades everything, who accomplishes everything through Shakti alone.

Both Shiva and Shakti have various forms. Shiva has forms like Yogi Raj (the common image of Himself meditating in the Himalayas), Rudra (a wrathful form) and Nataraj (performing the dance of destruction).
About Kali

The Sanskrit word Kali literally means "time". Kali is the feminine word for time, for which the masculine is "kala". Time as we are forced to understand it, is the foremost power that we experience. Kali is the personification of time and it is not surprising that the deity of time has a terrifying image. After all, time is the slayer of all. Time is the very stuff that our lives are made of - to waste time is to waste life. The reason as to why time is represented in a feminine form is that time is the great womb - the great mother - from which we are all created - therefore it has a feminine quality. Time is also the force which causes all living beings to perish. Therefore Kali is like the mother who destroys the children which she has created - which is one of her frightful features. Yet, through the action of time, Her action, occurs our salvation. Through time, over repeated births, we experience all that we have to and learn all that we must learn in order to merge back into our eternal existence, from which we fell into limited time and space.
Why is She dancing on Shiva?

Shiva, in the Shaivite tradition, is the all pervading eternal primeval consciousness of the universe and beyond, who is beyond motivation. Hence, He is commonly shown as meditating in tranquil. His action and motivation occur only prior to the final destruction and dissolution of this cycle of creation. Hence, when Shiva dances, it is considered to be the terrible awesome dance of destruction.

It is on the passive, ultimate reality of Shiva, that Kali (time) does her dance, causing the constant cycles of creation, life and death of all things in the universe. Shiva is the substratum upon which Kali acts. Hence, in this part of the Hindu spiritual traditions, the entire divine action and existence is represented by the dance of Kali (time) upon the changeless all pervading consciousness, Shiva.
Does Kali actually have a separate consciousness or is she just a representation of time as an unthinking scientific principle?

Hinduism personifies what to us are abstract spiritual truths as Gods and Goddesses. Spiritual ideas are clothed in concrete imagery, and approached as living beings. This does not reflect a lack of reasoned thinking, or attachment to form, but rather an experiential contact with the higher truths, as living forces. Hinduism creates a personal relationship between ourselves and the forces of the cosmos, and eventually leads us to realise that these forces are within us rather than separate. All forces of the universe are pervaded by consciousness, hence the reason as to why they are approached as living beings is because in reality, they are. The purpose of vivid imagery is that whilst meditating upon the image, our mind is shocked into thinking into the depths of the concept we are trying to understand and know, beyond our usual conditioned ideas. In that way we can really experience the truth of time as an awesome conscious force and understand how our existence relates to it. Kali is a particularly important deity, because by understanding Her we stop identifying ourselves as only our body - we come to terms with the utter impermanence of our body and begin to perceive the true existence of ours which lies beyond - which most people believe but wish to experience directly. Hence she is said to kill the ego - the attachment to pettiness, which is represented in Her image by the severed head she hold in Her hand.
A Mantra for Kali

One important Mantra for Kali is:

om aim hrim klim camundayai vicche svaha!

Each syllable of this mantra conveys a distinct vibrational energy, and whoever chants this mantra, after a short while will feel that they are tapping in to a deep spiritual energy.

Om is the sound corresponding to the absolute reality in its entirety. Aim is the syllable of knowledge (Sarasvati). Hrim is the syllable of purification (Parvathy). Klim is a syllable corresponding to transformation (closely related to Kali). Camundayai is a name of Kali. Vicche means cut (as in to cut of the head of the demon, demon referring to the ego) and svaha ends the mantra.

--- Jai Kali ---

Interesting that a representation of the passing of time has "tracers" on the limbs, as seen while time passes on psychedelics. :grin:

Middleman, thanks for the detailed explanation on Kali and her mythological role.

My girlfriend had a dream last night of a destructive female entity who was dancing over the two of us. Later in the day we got into an accident in our car. Your post describing Kali dancing on Shiva, or Shiva-Shakti, rings curiousity about the meaning of the dream in context of the situation that occured today. Interestingly time isn't exactly on our side right now. I just moved from home to live with my girlfriend a few days ago and we are at the moment a little crazy at handling the timely pressures of finding a new place to live and getting a routine that works into our daily lives. Could Kali be expressing herself through us, bringing our attention to the facts of time? Not quite sure, I'll talk with her about it tonight and see what she feels. Nonetheless it's got me thinking. :strokebeard:

I don't mean to derail this thread, so keep on.
But thank you for the insight. :peace:

Wow AA....Thanks for sharing that personal anecdote.  I feel like I've encountered the universal force which is Kali before. 

Kali is very auspicious. :smile: :heartpump:

“Strengthened by contemplation and study,
I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,
to diversions that I’ve dreamed of,
to the most daring erotic desires,
to the lustful impulses of my blood, without
any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

This Daniel Pinchbeck video is extremely interesting, but it's like... he's just winging all of this and hardly presenting evidence.  Just tons of crazy assertions.  Which is why it was superbly entertaining.

It either resonates with what you feel or it doesn't. That's up to you. Also, while he does make a lot of leaps, a lot of it is connected through sound logical deduction too.

I enjoyed the Esoteric Agenda video.  I haven't done all my homework in these areas of conspiracy, so I'd liked to have more background connections presented.  But not knowing them, and just taking in the information presented makes for an extremely good time.  Thanks for posting it.

I'm new to esoteric knowledge. I've gotten into it after years of searching for "something", as a question to drug addiction and me trying to get sober. I first got into Buddhism, then became more open to spirituality, consciousness, meditation and now I've bought a few occult related books. I'm interested in Right-Hand path type of stuff like Enochian magic and spells.

I've discovered that YouTube can be such a great place to start and watch many podcasts/shows and documentaries on various spirituality, esoteric, ancient wisdom type of subjects. Also, there are free .pdf books online.
I think there's a site called the alexandria library or the hermetic library which has I think hundreds of books. There is also a third site with many many books in pdf format. that one is darkbooks.org and another one is esotericarchives.com. Let me know if anyone would like the url for the other two I mentioned. But also, Google or any search engine is also a great place to start.

Quote:

"That is far and at the same time, that is near. That moves and that moves not. That is within and that is without. It moves and it moves not." When Kali is performing her role, reality is moving. When Shiva is performing, reality is silent. When they perform together, that moves and that moves not. With our human consciousness, when we try to see the Truth, it is far, very far. But with our divine consciousness, when we try to see the Truth, it is all near; it is right in front of our nose."





i have got to read this sometime. :yesnod: it is right in front of your nose...you just have to get ahead of time a little, and dance the dance of the real.

throw something to fetch, in another means, but i don't mean to insult me Good-Lady. :rofl:
