America is being hugged by Kali
I was remembering a few days ago about the time I got hugged by Kali. I was living in Toronto around 2004. Height of Summer. I felt the shift in my meditations when she came to town. It was a definite shift. Her samadhi force field so great, I could feel her when she arrived. This was the incredible force of nature in the Hindu woman Amma, the hugging saint. This one woman hugs people- it is her method of transmitting the Shakti of the Divine Mother which she embodies. They say she’s hugged 40 million people now. 40 million people. How is that even possible?
There is a whole protocol around managing how you get to be one of the recipients of this Shakti, this hug from Amma. They say she’s an emanation of the goddess Kali. Who knows … but to a person like me who feels energy, Amma is the real deal and the ordeal of waiting all night to get my hug was infinitely worth it. I remember that final moment after hours and hours of being in line outside in the hotel parking lot and then inside in one ballroom after another, my number finally called, and there I was removing my glasses because you can’t approach her with glasses on, and then I am crawling on my knees up towards her, still in line behind the others on their knees approaching her, and I reach the steps and ascend on my knees into the embrace of this tiny Indian woman … radiant, a blazing ball of Light dressed all in white and she grabs me and pulls me onto her breast hugging me and she thrusts some candies into my hand and chants in my ear the words, MA, MA, MA…..
It was beyond dawn after my friend and I left the hotel blissed out from our hugs from Amma. I went home, dressed for work and … WOW…. Amma…. I was hugged by Kali.
What a blessing.
Kali, the Hindu Goddess. Also known as Mother Reality, Warrior Woman, the one with the sword and the necklace of skulls, dancing on the Ego. Cuts through the darkness, cuts through the ego. So much written about her and all the different ways she shows up in the world. Different manifestations and iconography.
I’ve been thinking of her, this Mother Reality, in light of the shifts in energy I felt sitting through the first of America’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission a couple weeks ago, otherwise known as the January 6th Committee. I watched along with some people I watch with on Twitter and I whispered to them that while watching Liz Cheney, I had this thought that the great force of her presentation was perhaps erasing the karma caused by her father all those years ago. Of course I got push back with that comment from my Progressive friends but now that I think about it some more, there’s something that happened in that hearing, and I think playing out in the subsequent hearings, something significant, a tangible shift that is happening … and I sum it up in three words:
America is back.
While we collectively practically and energetically drowned in the lies and mayhem and creation of a destructive cult caused by a deranged malignant narcissist over the last several years, the January 6th Committee is bringing us back.
Truth has returned to America. Mother Reality is showing up. Kali is wielding her sword. Cutting through the bullshit. And how absolutely apropos that in that first hearing she was dressed in the blue suit and blonde hair of a Conservative woman from a very Conservative family. And in the hearing a couple weeks ago she showed up in the brave young woman Cassidy Hutchinson.
I’m glad the committee has gone to the lengths of having these hearings professionally staged and produced by people whose job it is to produce shows for television. Words matter and the sophisticated production and its stages are part of making the likes of even the propaganda entertainment-only channel Fox pay attention.
The hearings give me hope for a country divided. The fact that a Conservative woman can be the one to help lead the charge to demolish the lies, cut through the bullshit when so-called leaders like Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy continue to cower in fear of the malignant one for so long. Well done Liz. Well done.
America is being hugged by Kali.
Let’s all whisper MA, MA, MA…..
