"Blessings

Accept this ancient
Wisdom
Which has travelled
Far to greet us
From the East
W/the sun

Call out to him
From the high mountain
High, from high
Towers

As the mind
Rebels
& wends its way
To freedom

Grant us one more day
& hour
The hero of this dream
Who heals & guides us

There is an audience to our drama.
Magic shade mask
LIKE THE HERO OF A DREAM, HE WORKS FOR US,
IN OUR BEHALF.


Strange world waits & watches.
Ancient dread of non-existence.

The truth is on his chest
The cellular excitement has
Totally inspired our magic
Veteran.    And now for an
Old trip.      I'm tired of thinking.
I want old forms to
Reassert......
My mind is just - you know.....

Smile like a calm survivor
Of the psychic war."

THE ETERNAL GUIDE AS THE CHARIOTEER OF THE BHAGAVAD GITA

"I AM A GUIDE TO THE LABYRINTH
COME & SEE ME

No one thought up being;
He who thinks he has
Step forward

The flowering of God-like people
In the muted air
Would seem strange to an intruder of certain size

BUT THIS ALL WE HAVE LEFT TO GUIDE US
NOW THAT HE IS GONE "
                                              -Jim Morrison

The Bhagavad Gita is considered as one of the Apex Scriptural text in Eastern Mysticism,Originally being regarded as the Holy Gospel of Sanatan Dharma or the unified religion of Man is now adopted by Hinduism as their Primary religious text. The Bhagvad  Gita or The Song Of The Lord is 700 verse text comprising of 18 chapters (sections 25-42) in the Bhisma Parva of the Epic legend Mahabharata,  composed by Eternal Sage Ved Vyasa approximately around 4th century BCE as the precise date is yet unaccounted. The Gita begins before the the Climatic war of Kurukshetra, as the Pandava warrior Arjuna is perplexed and bewildered in dilemma as he counters his own relatives, family and brothers in the Blood bath war ground, thus making him dwell in the vices and virtues of dualism. The Truth is then revealed by his Eternal Friend, Charioteer, Guide and Teacher Lord Krishna as He encourages Arjuna to carry forward the assigned task explaining the three prime pathways of Unity with the Divine ; 1. Through Karma Yoga ( Chapters 1-6) the precursor to goal, as Krishna describes and justifies the necessity of human actions or Karma as it eventually leads to freedom or Moksha through the process of evolution and salvation of the soul as it passes all the stages of human  life course and experiences phases of different existential states through its Karma as an e enactment of the Divine Will.
2. Bhakti Yoga ( Chapters 7-12) the pathway of love and devotion, the will of true surrender to the Lord who cares for all.As Bhakti or love is the only process of self-transfiguration and flowering of the Soul, all creative assets and abilities arise from love or Bhakti towards the Subconscious Supreme
3. Jyana Yoga ( Chapters13-18 ) is the final abode of the Spirit or the Attainment of the Goal itself as one imbibes Eternal knowledge of The Absolute Divine consciousness.

The subdued consciousness of The Bhagavad Gita can be read and realised through Jim Morrison's poetic compositions.


"INDIA INK, INK OF INDIA
THERE ARE NO MORE RICH COLORS
ESCAPES BACK SMOOTH
IN THE DESERT SEA....

IN THIS "HOLLOW" WE WERE BORN.
OBEY THE FATHER RUN
ESCAPE BACK INTO THE LANDSCAPE.

Heaven or Hell the circus
Of your actions

To Play ( Chance is a God here )
Assuage the guilt
The deep fear
The separate loneliness

The Party of new connections
Mind made free
Love cannot save you
From your fate
Art cannot soothe
Words cannot tame
The Night

So I tell you
      I tell you
        I tell you
 We must send away

 We must try to find a new
       Answer instead of
                           A way


All hail the American Night

And so I say to you
The silk handkerchief was
Embroidered in China or Japan
Behind the steel curtain  And
No one can cross the borderline
W/out proper credentials.
This is to say that we are all
Sensate & occasionally sad
& if every partner in crime
Were to incorporate promises
 hiS program the dance
MIght end & all our friends
Would follow.

Who are our friends?

Are they sullen & slow? Do
They have great desire? Or
Are they one of the multitude who
Walk doubting their impossible
Regret.   Certainly things happen
& reoccur in continuous promise;
Al of us have found a safe
Niche where we can store up
Riches & talk to our fellows
On the same premise of disaster.

But this will not do.   No, this
Will never do.        There are
Continents & shores which
Beseech our understanding.
Seldom have we been so slow.
Seldom have we been so far.


MY ONLY WISH IS TO SEE
FAR ARDEN AGAIN."

                                    -Jim Morrison

Lions in the street & roaming.......
                               Is everybody in ?
The ceremony is about to begin.

Wake up!
You can't remember where it was.
Had this dream stopped?.........

I can't live thru each slow century.......
Feel the good cold stinging blood,,,,,,,,


THE LION MAN EMBODIMENT (NARASIMHA)

Narasimha as evidenced in accordance with epic legends and scriptures is the Incarnation (Avatar) of the Hindu God Vishnu as in the form of a lion's  head, hands and claws along with the torso of a human male. It has mentions in all Major Puranas with seventeen variations of the main narrative. In Vedantic references appears as an Epithet in the Rig Veda which describes the incarnate as "like some wild beast, dread, prowling, mountain roaming " along with an allusion to the Namuci story- "with waters' foam you tore off, Indra, the head of Namuci, subduing all contending hosts". This short reference is believed to culminate in the entire Puranic  epic  legend of Narasimha.
Also attributed the Epithet of Mriga Sharira (Sanskrit reference to The Animal Man ) as viewed in the perspective  of theology and philosophy Narasimha emerges as the iconic image in Vaishanavism as the paths of jyana (knowledge) and bhakti (devotion) as opposed to advaita where bhakti does not exist as it  is the state of non-dualism where the worshipper is worshipped or the jeeva is paramatma (matter whether animate or inanimate is the Brahman or manifestation of The Lord).
The Narasimha embodiment of The Lord displays his omniscience and omnipresence as the primordial force still controlling matter  having the power of emergence and dismissal  as the Matsya Purana describes Narasimha ripped apart... as the plaiter of straw mats shreds the reeds. Signifies the animal embodiment of the Lord as the Great Protector or The Saviour of mankind. Narasimha can be regarded as the Ancient Primeval Incarnation of The Lord as The Redeemer or the Saviour.

"Let the carnival bells ring
Let the serpent sing
Let everything

And I can tell you the names of the Kingdom
I can tell you the things that you know
Listening for a fistful of silence
Climbing valleys into the shade"

There's Blood in the streets
         & it's up to my ankles
Blood in the streets
             & its up to my knee
Blood in the streets
               Of the town of Chicago
Blood on the rise
              & its following me ....
Blood in the streets
                & it's up to my thigh
The river runs red
        Down the legs of the city......


Blood ! Screams her brain
              As they chop off her fingers
Blood will be born
                     In the birth of a nation
Blood is the rose of mysterious
                                             Union.


FROM SELF-DECAPITATION TO SELF-CONTROL


                                         " Here she lie bleeding,
                      Blue wounds just to tell us in our floppy hats
                                                    It's Over  "
                                                                - Jim Morrison                            

The iconography of Goddess Chhinnamasta or the self-decapitated with severed head is the Ultimate state of Self - assertion and Self-control achieved through sacrifice and awakening of the Kundalini energy. The Goddess Chhinnamasta, the fifth of the Ten Mahavidyas is the embodiment of Heroism (Vira rasa) and terror (bhayanka rasa) as she is the life-giver and the life - taker and is viewed in the forms of a benevolent mother, the embodiment of self sacrifice and self control and the Goddess  in her self destructive wilderness. Chhinnamasta adored with threads and garlands of serpent and skull heads is accompanied by her two Yoginis ( attendants or companions) Dakini on her left and Varnini to her right, as they share and drink the gushing blood jet streams flowing from the Goddess's severed head. This form is described in Tantrasara as the Trishakti Tantra. While the Tantrasara also describes another higher form of the Goddess seated in her own navel invisible and can be experienced during meditative trance. The Goddess is very closely associated with the Tibetan Chhinamunda, the Tantric Buddhist Goddess Vajrayogini with severed head is often referred as the antecedent of the Hindu Goddess Chhinnamasta.

Jim Morrison's subconscious invocation to the Benevolent Goddess can be identified through the lines of his poetry and symbolisms

                  So we played the carnival. Car. Carne.
                   Feast of meat . Celebration of blood.
                  O lucky ones who enjoy the dumb show
                   The reptile farm . The snake farm........
                      The place. The sink
                          Big Dismal
                         Goes in 2 ways.  Spirit & Meat.
                       You cannot join what can't be joined
                       You cannot travel 2 roads
                                              (He rode off in all directions)

Mystery of the dream

The mystery of flight
 be inside the brain of a bird
Goal- the end of a Goddess's
To slide gracefully &
Knowledgeably into graveland
The Big dream
                            Vs
Violent assassination of
Spirit & neck & skull ...........


For seven years I dwelt
In the loose palace of exile.......

Now I have come again
To the land of the fair, & the strong, & the wise.....

"Now Night arrives with her purple legion.
Retire now to your tents & to your dreams.
Tommorow we enter the town of my birth.
I want to be ready."
