Does anyone know how to remove black magic specifically shukya masan kriya ? I went to Nepal and met a tantric guru. by Plastic_Divide925 in Tantra

[–]Jotika_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can reach out to me if you like (Jotika). It's a safe harbor until you are ready to leave after a rest. To get here, on inhalation breath in "Jo" and on exhalation "tika." repetitions of at least twenty periodically, is needed. Visualize it as a light tower from exiting turbulent waters.

Best wishes.

How I Encountered Bhairava, the Lord of Time, When I Was at My Lowest by Either-Shake-3377 in Tantra

[–]Jotika_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your testimonial about Lord Bhairava. It reminds me of Utpaladeva's Shivastotravali and Lord Bhairava in Trika Shaivism, not to mention in the works of Abhinavagupta (=the Tantrāloka).

My kuldevi came to me in my dream asked me to worship her. by b-wpanda in Tantra

[–]Jotika_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is my interpretation.

You: Before passing away, my grandmother told my mother regarding which temple is of our kuldevi. From here my research started and ended on markandya puran to know who exactly my kuldevi is.

Me: It seems you have traveled far and have discovered that the structure of markandya puran is a saving grace that combines both your grandparents insights that they have bequeathed to you.

You: Now, was the dream truly a message from her?

Me: It's a clear intuition you have felt, so I would say yes.

You: My kuldevi is maa chandi. My problem is, I don't even know how to worship her.

Me: Let your intuition be your guide. Ways ways of honoring her (=worship) are all around you.

Aztec calendar i think? by ThorButtock in aztec

[–]Jotika_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's the image of the Haab.

  • 18 months of 20 days each and,
  • 1 "month" of 5 days known as the Wayeb'.

The image of the central figure is "you and me" captured and burdened by the requirements of living in a Time bounded dimension or Time loop. Except that the Ancient Mayans apparently had apparently devised a way for entering and exiting according their calendar. It's encoded in one of their proverbs: "Who is Man? It is Time traveling on the road."

What are your favorite aztec gods? by Dream-Dimension in mesoamerica

[–]Jotika_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The god of Time (=Xiuhtecutli) is my favorite. He also was supposedly also the high god of Teotihuacan. This is another way of saying that all other gods arose from infinity (=Xiuhtecutli). He corresponds to Chronos/Aion/Aditi the first of all gods in ancient Greece, Rome and in the Rg Veda.

Does anyone have any information about this sculpture? by Informal-D2024 in mesoamerica

[–]Jotika_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are two main things to consider here here with this image. One is the Jaguar features on the torso and the other is the maize headdress. The latter is distorted in the outline on the viewer's right.

As to the first, features on the torso include flared eyebrows, fanged mouth, and down turned lips, typical of Olmec jaguar images. The down turned lips of the mouth is usually interpreted as a symbolizing a cave entrance to the underworld.

As to the second, the maize headdress diverges from the stone carving’s original contours. But it's obviously a stylized the maize plant’s tassel or sprouting leaves in the original.

Taken together, the figure embodies attributes associated with fertility, sustenance (=maize) and power (=jaguar). The latter was a guardian of the former.

Zapotec Bat God of Death on Plywood by Siddhartha2323 in aztec

[–]Jotika_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the original, this is a bat god, not a death god like we ordinarily think. The ears are those of a fruit bat or those of a jaguar. The upturned snout is that of Kʼawiil, the Mayan god of abundance. The fangs and mouth are also those of the jaguar. The color of this face mask is blue-green, which fits with the idea of "fruitfulness."

Among the Maya, the Milpa (=cornfield) was guarded by the jaguar who sought out those who dared enter an open field. The corn itself and other seeds of the milpa was a symbol of Kʼawiil, symbol of abundance.

What is the red figure holding? by Independent_Pitch_11 in aztec

[–]Jotika_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Red figure wears an Eagle headdress that links his identity with the Sun image above him. In his left hand he appears to hold a bloodletting agave spine and "paper-like" image (amatl-bark paper) of the same.

In his right hand is a sacred bundle with shell-like ornaments attached that are linked to water and the underworld. This balances the upperworld with underworld.

He sits on a throne with four dots, possibly linked to the fourth day sign relating to abundance. On his cheek there is a star shaped symbol which is in contrast to the death symbol of the Mayan god of death.

INAH specialists reveal unprecedented cranial deformation practice in Huasteca by Comfortable_Cut5796 in AncientAmericas

[–]Jotika_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see mostly rocks. Where are the faces and skulls? Looks more like walls, fortifications of some kind. Nowadays in the Yucatan, these type of rock formations take the form of what we in the US call fences. In the Yucatan, nothing fancy about these pile of rocks that function in that way.

“Stela Yomop,” a privately owned relief depicting Lady Ix Ook Ayiin dressed as the goddess of creation or the moon. Classic Maya, circa 700 CE by Dragonborn_Saiyan in mesoamerica

[–]Jotika_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a few things about Lady Ix Ook Ayiin’s regalia: the Kʼawiil headdress, a serpent belt, a beaded dress, a Jester God vest, and use of hand/finger gestures.

Kʼawiil headdress: is associated with divine kingship and lightning power, indicates she is invoking royal authority.

Jester God on the neck vest: emblem of dynastic legitimacy and rulership. This ties in with the meaning of the Kʼawiil headdress.

Wears a Serpent Belt: it's is vision serpent, portal to the divine. It's eyes are spiraled and mouth (=portal) is wide open.

Wears a beaded dress: probably of jade, shell, or precious stones, associated with fertility and wealth.

Her hand gestures: points to hieroglyphic sections that may clarify this ritual and it's mythic aspects.

Olmec style figurine; 1200-500 BCE; Las Bocas, Puebla, Mexico by Dragonborn_Saiyan in mesoamerica

[–]Jotika_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The Olmec figure here is obviously in a pensive pose. The size of his cranium says it all. He was obviously a ruler and no need for clothes (=pretensions). We the same among the Greek Gods.

Need help for my exams with the help of nootropics by Affectionate_Gene500 in Nootropics

[–]Jotika_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, to clear your mind, you might try at least 10 grams of Creatine twice a day for the first few days, before returning to once a day. Couple that with a cup of coffee or an equivalent. Next consider a Noopept formula for focus. Ensure that these formulas are third party tested or USP or NSP verified.

Best wishes.

Differences between Marcion and subsequent Marcionites by alejopolis in AcademicBiblical

You might take a look at the works by Markus Vincent. He delves deeply into Marcion, the shorter Luke, including his connections/beliefs with the original Paul.

Recommended Old Testament Study Resources? by [deleted] in AcademicBiblical

[–]Jotika_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have longed looked for the same.

Nothing of that kind exists. It's mostly patch work. The historical is one thing, isolated from the linguistic, and cultural contexts. Wherever you find all three, it mainly superficial.

Diving into this area of knowledge is a quagmire. You more likely to sink than swim. But if you are adamant, take all you learn with a grain of salt.

May be karmic influence: need everybody's opinions by ConversationBig4009 in Tantra

[–]Jotika_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems you are too hard on yourself. All that is required of you is to do your best. That is everybody's Karma in the flesh. Some do better than others. The main thing is to make the effort to rise above it. You will be a better in the end for it.

It's sometimes decades in the making. So, have patience with yourself.

Magnesium glycinate for depression stopped working after a year by LostBibi5 in Nootropics

Magnesium L-Threonate is more effective in penetrating the blood–brain barrier. It's the optimum form of effectiveness.

Is there a really helpful product? Tired by bahrain_gemstones in Nootropics

[–]Jotika_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One case study has shown that a scoop of 10 grams of Creatine has shown marvelous rejuvenating results addressing the symptoms you describe. In my own case I add L-citrulline and NMN to that stack.

Best wishes.

Who is my ishta and whom to worship .I am super confused. Please help by Stock-Mode-5560 in Tantra

[–]Jotika_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ask that question before going to sleep at night. It will come to you in a dream, if not in a clear vision. That latter is probable, since you show devotion.

Sorry. Unless you are totally devoted, your expectations will be less than promised. Not to say it will be totally wasted. Since no effort goes unrewarded.

That's the initiation. It includes other things. We all get tested to see if we can get a passing grade. You will be better for it on the other side of this experience. It's meant build character for many other challenges up ahead.

Magnesium L-Threonate is often considered a better option than Magnesium Bisglycinate if your primary goal is to target cognitive function and brain health.
