BaruchThe secret of theodicy ...Sat Mar 10, 2012 10:0668.89.239.64is best explained by the Goddess Kali. She is of course the aweful form of the awesome Lakshmi ... the goddess hath both right and left hands. Do you know why Kali is horrible? Not to scare you, but to scare the demons who have you in possession. It is necessary that fear be used to fight fear, fire to fight fire. But also water to fight fire. So both hands of the goddess, will help you put the fires of delusion out. This Kali isn't so horrible, is she? But you have to let her scare the phobia out of you, before you can see her compassion. You share the fear of the demon, until you are free of the demon.

Of course in the West we know Lakshmi as Hera/Juno, and Saraswati as Athena/Minerva .. but Kali as Hecate/Trivia ... the last Latin name meaning "three roads".
Shalom
