Yeah Kali is the H-bomb. She is the personal god that creates and destroys everything. She stands on the absolute god that supports her and is connected to NOTHING. You need a firm grounding in some kind of cosmology to even begin grasping this subtle stuff. The idea of total non-connectivity is HAIRY. The absolute effects nothing and is effected also by nothing yet it supports everything and is pure existence. You could say that the personal God and the absolute one are definitely not the same thing, yet are also not different. We just keep hitting paradoxes.

The only important thing you need to know now is that all this new Age bullshit about All is One is extremely simplistic. When Ramakrishna went into Nirva-kalpa Samadhi the world vanished along with all its inter-connections. He was force-fed by a monk to stay alive because his mission was not completed. Had he not snapped out of N-S in three weeks. then he would have disappared forever possibly into Shiva. The Godhead. The Absolute. Not too many folks come back from this kind of experience. who would? The freedom is total. Karma becomes simply just a concept.
