"The symbol of karuna was the Yoni Yantra: a downward-pointing triangle, representing both the female genital (yoni) and the triune nature of the goddess. Also known as the Kali Yantra, this was described as "the meditation-sign of the vulva," the Triangle of Life, or the Primordial Image. Pious meditation on the Yoni Yantra was the duty of an enlightened sage: "The object of the worship of the Yantra is to attain unity with the mother of the universe in her forms as Mind, Life, and Matter... preparatory to Yoga union with her as she is in herself as Pure Consciousness."

"The same Yoni Yantra appeared everywhere in the ancient world as a symbol of "woman" or "motherhood" or "goddess." It was a hieroglyph of Men-Nefer, the virgin moon goddess who gave her name to Egypt's oldest capital city, Memphis. Egypt's version of the triple goddess was a Kali-like Mother of Time, the three sides of her triangle standing for past, present, and future. The inscription on her temple at Sais said: "I am all that has been, that is, that will be." Perhaps the Christian writer of the Book of Revelation borrowed the phrase for his own God, who accordingly claimed to be that "which is, and which was, and which is to come" (Revelation 1:8); but the original phrase was the Mother's. The many images of the three Fates in pagan religions were founded on the older concept of the goddess's holy trinity. In Greece, where the Fates governed every life, even the lives of gods, the sacred triangle was the delta, the symbol of Demeter whose name was literally "Delta Mother." According to the Suda Lexicon (A.D. 1000), the delta was "the letter of the vulva." The Hebrew alphabet made it daleth, the Door (of life). It figured prominently in the sigils of Greco-Roman goddesses. Gnostics said it represented "creative intellect," and the basic triangle was always a symbol of "woman." Among gypsies, the oldest hieroglyphic sign for "woman" was a triangle."

Well... that certainly begs a few questions, such as:

Does that explain Elvis? He did love his mama, and he did settle in Memphis.

Does any of this have anything to do with Aldous Huxley or Jim Morrison? "The Doors of Perception" and "The Doors"? Morrison is said to have spent a lot of time meditating on the Yoni Yantra in various ways. Heck, I know I do... who doesn't?

Does a triangle or pyramid pointing up instead of down have a masculine interpretation?

If so, what does that imply about the Star of David? Was there some off screen sex going on in the temple? David did seem to spend a lot of time dallying and writing erotic poetry.

What does this imply about the real role of Andrea? Surely she does more than clean up after the boys.

prop2 on the rt 1 this morn/arrived early!

Kahuna out of sorts ... Overtired or something else? Not firing on all pistons.

Eek… I forgot part of my morning ritual... Will have distinct 5 o'clock shadow today.

Looks like Kahuna not only went through all of Newbies notebooks looking for a contact number, but she also deleted her Act! database. While motivated, Kahuna is a very real menace to all things organized and technological.

It came from a friend, but had no news link attatched. I've already sent off a request, hoping to find out the source.
