So, chaos goddesses. And hermeneutics. I’m resisting writing a blog post about myth, rationality, and meta-rationality; chaos and order ≈ nebulosity and pattern ≈ emptiness and form; gender and archetypes. Because I have no time to write, and that stuff is … esoteric.

Here is Hakim Bey on Tiamat, JBP’s favorite goddess—from his CHAOS, one of the best things ever written about nebulosity and pattern. (See, I’m trying to get this stuff out of my system without blogging!) https://hermetic.com/bey/taz1 pic.twitter.com/FdZ0Lh1TJF

Prajñaparamita, the serene goddess of emptiness-wisdom, is the same person as Tröma Nakmo…https://twitter.com/Meaningness/status/999765677547311104 …

David Chapman @MeaningnessThe shape-shifting Chaos Dragon becomes an ogress, a vampire, the Himalayas, the night sky, and then appears to you as the Goddess Prajñaparamita, incarnation of Cosmic Emptiness and Wisdom. She whispers words in your ear as you make love. You can never quite remember them after pic.twitter.com/fp8hBix8MIShow this thread1 reply 2 retweets 6 likesShow this thread -
Tröma Nakmo, garlanded with severed heads. Her job is to slice the top of your skull off while you meditate, hack up your body, and stew it into a feast for ghosts and demons. She also is the goddess of wisdom-emptiness… in a more energetic form.pic.twitter.com/kBeOeGMCPT

Tröma Nakmo is not evil—she is every bit as benevolent as Prajñaparamita. The middle-eastern religions are dualistic: all about the Cosmic War of Good And Evil. That is not how the world works. Other mythologies do not reflect this error.https://twitter.com/Meaningness/status/999034485273325568 …

Replying to @loremgibson
Interesting point! It’s a war with Islam, invented in the last dying days of Indian Buddhism… perhaps, by the Tarbaby Principle, Vajrayana had absorbed good/evil dualism from Islam, which was by then the dominant religion of the region.

I haven’t studied Kalachakra at all, and am almost perfectly ignorant about it.
