The dissolution of dissolution

 

Overheard on the interwebs:

>>>Pralayāntaka Bhairava, the Ender of Dissolution, is that which remains when even cosmic destruction ends.

>>>Pralayāntaka means "one who ends pralaya (cosmic dissolution)." This paradoxical name points to the consciousness that witnesses even the end of the universe. When everything dissolves, matter, energy, space, time, what remains? Pralayāntaka Bhairava is that ultimate witness, the awareness that observes even the dissolution of dissolution. He is the teaching that you are not what appears or disappears. You are the unchanging awareness in which appearance and disappearance occur.

>>>Pralayāntaka represents the philosophical principle of sakshi (witness consciousness). Even when the entire universe dissolves at the end of a cosmic kalpa, the witness remains. This is your true nature, not the body that was born and will die, not the mind that comes and goes, but the eternal observer that was never born and can never die.

Je suis Patrik?

 

Har ingen aning om vad jag ska tycka om detta, annat än kanske att det är Patrik Sjöberg som borde ha slagit någon på käften...

When LARP-ing *really* goes too far

 

I´m sure you remember this one. I sure do!

When LARP-ing goes too far

Above is a somewhat better rendering of the dream-image in question. But actually the female spirit-being had much larger fangs, I mean her entire mouth *was* a bunch of fangs. Like a monstrosity. 

I had no idea at the time who this might be ("symbolically" blah blah), but later I realized that it´s the Hindu Tantric goddess Bhairavi. Weirdly, the dream took place at exactly the same time as her festival day in India - a fact of which I wasn´t aware at the time. A strange co-incidence! The dream contained other "co-incidences" too, which I won´t disclose here. Nor will I mention what happened next...

What on earth does this mean? Who knows, but it´s interesting for a spiritual seeker, to be sure.

Noooooo

 

Aaaaaaaaaaargh....

Listen, atheist!

Forward Singapore

 

WTF, I love Singapore now. 

I can´t breathe

 

A propos the current situation in the UK. Yes, it´s possible that Nigel Farage and Reform will win the next elections, in part because of the recent murder in Southampton and the way the local police (mis)handled the situation. The murderer was a Sikh, presumably of Indian descent. The victim was White and British.

So Farage might become the next British Prime Minister. Promising to stop Indian mass migration. In power, he will then import even more Indian (and other) migrants. Because neo-liberal capitalism needs the cheap labour, obviously. And because of the demographic crisis more generally.

And that´s that. We now resume our regular programming!

So *this* is what hit me this Sunday. I KNEW IT, MAN. Had to cancel my sadhana. No more spiritual stuff for me. Not for another ten years or so!!!

Har Sverige fortfarande kontroll över sitt territorium? I så fall är det väl dags att stänga ner Lundsberg, som verkar fungera som något slags extraterritoriell enklav...

Kung Charles har inte dött

 

Inte Charles

Tydligen. Fast vi minns ju vad som hände när media felaktigt rapporterade att drottning Elizabeth avlidit, eller hur? Just det, dronningen dog knall och fall strax därefter. Så jag tror inte faran är riktigt över än. Om sanningen ska fram!

Reshuffle

 

From 2023. But surely it´s the other way around? At least after Trump captured the GOP. Now, the Republicans root for the maggots, indeed *are* the maggots, while the Democrats root for the corpse! 

The corpse and the maggots

Sick humor?

 

Why is everyone so afraid of an Ebola pandemic all of a sudden? I´m sure Trump can handle the situation, just like he did the last time, by rushing through the development of a new vaccine, HA HA HA.

Besides, the Donald is really SAINT GERMAIN IN THE FLESH!!! 

Mörk humor?

 

För övrigt anser jag att Israel bör hoppa av Eurovision Song Contest i allra sista stund, bara för att trolla alla länder som bojkottar tävlingen eller t.o.m. vägrar visa den. 

Det vore faktiskt riktigt underhållande.

Wallenberg-sfären investerar flera miljarder i Stegra. Vilket antagligen betyder slutet för Wallenberg-sfären. Såvida det inte är avancerad skatteplanering. Eller finns en deal om att skattebetalarna tar smällen ifall Wallenbergarna förlorar sina pengar...

Bara en liten tyckaråsikt så här i brådrasket. Nej, nu måste jag käka frukost! 

Nothing is new under the sun

 

Or maybe it is? It seems *Trump* will now block the (fuckin´) Strait of Hormuz. Oh. 

Plan B

Does Trump even have a plan concerning the Iran situation? Believe it or not, I think there is one. Indeed, it´s the same plan (or "plan") Trump has used in many other situations before: a version of the "madman strategy" associated with Tricky Dick (you know, Nixon). First, hit them hard (or pretend you´re going to do it). Next, sit down and negotiate. Presumably, you´re battered opponent will then give you what you want. Trump has used this tactic over and over since 2016. The art of the deal, baby!

There are two problems with this kind of plan, however. First, Trump uses it indiscriminately against both friend and foe. Second, there doesn´t seem to be any plan B! If the ploy fails, Trump has a tendency to simply drop the issue and threaten somebody else instead. 

It´s also interesting to note that Trump, as far as I recall, never used this strategy against Russia and China. Even he isn´t *that* crazy. And at some point, somebody Trump thinks is weaker will call his bluff. The tactic can´t possibly work forever. Maybe we are there now. The "weaker" party calling it is, of course, the current Iranian regime. Which is backed by Russia and China. 

I suppose we are about to find out...
