Starsuite - Introduction to the Soot of Stars

Episode 3 - Rebirth

The Upanishads describe a cosmic horse whose bones are the stars. On this second step of the Moon's path, we follow that horse through the chain of Andromeda (the karmic knot), the clay of the Kumaras (the shaping of form), the fire of the Phoenix (rebirth beside the Sages' knot), the clock of Horologium (time itself), and the girdle of embodied form. The horse carries gods, celestials, asuras, and finally man. This is the second step.

Cosmic egg of creation - Hiranyagarbha

Bhrigu’s Kick and the Cosmic Egg What existed when nothing was? In that dreamless slumber before creation, the stars began their stories. And here, on the first degree of Aries, we take our first step into the 108-fold path of the Moon. This episode is a descent into the origin myths of the cosmos. We begin with the sleeping gods – Vishnu reclining on the serpent Ananta, Shiva in blissful awareness, and the dark goddess Mahamaya in her yoga-nidra.

Starsuite - Introduction to the Soot of Stars

The very essence, origin point and sacrament to living spirit in the universe is considered the Milky Way, of which our galaxy is named after.  This, Milky Way is collection of thousands & thousands of stars collected together almost as a path through the sky. We see it, at least in the northern hemisphere as an archway or white threaded sheet wrapping the sky holding it together. The path of spirit, so to speak, of all stars. The Brahmins called this the ‘Janeyu’, the sacred thread.  At some point, billions of years ago, the milky way entered what became our galaxy.  Upon the star of the rock, Keph, or Alphirk the Beta Cepheus, this living receptacle the starry universe descended.  And a waterfall of stars descended upon a rock. Water and Fire, fused into awakening, and our galaxy took shape.  To the Indian mind, this is the Shiva-Linga, the basilisk-phallic symbol of Water falling upon it to make holy. Cepheus, the constellation of the old king is known to the Indians as Sheffali, an epithet of Shiva.  An Indian holy book, Kali-Purana says in the beginning, there was only darkness. Mahamaya existed in the inert state as Yoga-nidra, the sleeping universe. And then with this, waterfall of fire, the universe awakened in our galaxy.  Shiva, as a god-head is said to represent the entire universe as our galaxy’s context of spirit. The pure crystal heart of knowledge of the one beyond the worlds. Both feminine and masculine energies are his Shiva-Shakti form as the phenomenon and the awareness.  While the Kalika Purana starts its stories from 8 degrees after Aries point, which is the beginning of the Zodiac, we attempt to trace the steps a little further back.  From evolution of form even before language began to form.
