Qualities of the Supreme: The Big "S" Self

Big S Self - the physical world is like a frozen ocean of
consciousness. We are the waves, separate and distinct yet still a
part of the whole. Over the next month we will talk about three of
the qualities of divine conscousness...Shri, Swatantrya, and Satya.
Beauty, Freedom, and Truth. We want to warm the frozen ocean with our
practice to create space for the Shakti to flow through us and align
us more fully with the greater divine self.

Matsyendara - When Inauspicious Things are a Gateway to the Divine

Matsyendra is a legendary tantric sage. The legend of his life is
that he was cast into the sea at birth because of inauspicious birth
and lived in the belly of a fish that swallowed him. While in the
belly he overheard Shiva and Parvati in their undersea base practicing
yoga so he learned it over the next 12 years. Eventually he escaped
when he mastered yoga. So there are a lot of layers here, but
basically the message is about transformation.

Matsyendra's inauspicious birth was a gateway to his later becoming a founding tantra yogi. Talk about Tantra meaning weaving, leading with the heart through life.
