The Shiva Sutra reads: Udyamo Bhairavaḥ
So it implies
the activity of Shiva
of pure consciousness, which is terrifying,
terrifying, gives you the heebie jeebies, but also liberating
Bhairavaḥ
scary, frightening,
fire and brimstone,
destructive, hellish,
so
Bhairavaḥ, frightening.
But it also implies
that
Bhairavaḥ also implies
the cure, or the liberation
from all things that are frightening, or all fear, all fear.
So Bhairavaḥ
is both terrifying and the solution to all terror. So what does this mean?
You know you can see behind me, there's a painting
and that painting is uh Shiva and Shakti
Shiva, pure consciousness. Shakti, creative intelligence.
And there are other symbols that snake and
sacrifice over the tree of knowledge
and the morning resurrection,
all symbolic.
These are
The five faces of Shiva: creation,
sustenance and maintenance and destruction,
incubation
and
resurrection.
So this is how existence both recycles and evolves. Existence means awareness.
Existence of consciousness that recycles, evolves, as you, me,
and everything else there is. All knowers,
all modes of knowing, all things known.
This is Bhairavaḥ,
the creator, sustainer, destroyer
also recycles and evolves in
the direction of a never ending horizon
of creativity, abstraction and experience multiverse,
even infinite verses.
Bhairavaḥ. Creation, maintenance, destruction, incubation, resurrection
but Bhairavaḥ
"bhai" also means growth in relation, "ra" transformation,
"vah" dissolution. So Bhairavaḥ
is also the eternal cycle of creation,
dissolution. But those five faces also represent the five elements:
Space, air, fire, water and earth
and they also represent how those elements
are known as modalities of knowing: sound,
touch, sight, taste and smell.
Is all the five senses
And also
the five elements of creation.
Can you imagine how much
is there in that one
Mantra? One phrase and also
in the fact that Bhairavaḥ
is the dissolution and
I would say the dark night of the soul
where the ego dissolves,
and that's scary.
And then Bhairavaḥ
also is the liberation
that
comes from knowing that you are the divine
fundamental reality that is
creating the whole show
the whole Maya with the help of the goddess right there, Maya goddess,
the whole play of the universe, Leela.
You're it,
you're the
bit
in the IT and the bit is the hollow movement of the IT.
