“O mighty conqueror of enemies, there is no end to My divine manifestations. What I have spoken to you is but a mere indication of My infinite opulences.” 10.40 Bhagavad Gita The Opulence of the Absolute

Just as form arises out of void by way of person only to reach back, conceptually, a quarter to a mid-life in to cultivate the narrative that void never was/could…was never empty, never could be, that our souls pre-dated their material advent, are incomprehensibly complete in the ground of their Being at all moments, that as such can’t be perverted, merely expressed, by unfolding circumstance, and that they somehow are meaningfully the origin and cause of All potentialities in live time while you chart a meaningful and everlasting course through time which is both caused by and giving shape to yours in live-time…that as such is oneness with Source (communion)…manifestations tease the dynamics of their internal territory, life and death, existence and seeming non-existence, to eventually assert meaningful Eternal truth as abstract wisdom…that presence is Total, that it’s all essentially Life. It proves an afterlife, or rather gives a strong “mere indication” of one, depending where your state of consciousness is at (it actually proves it but as such needs to be pieced together by conscientious operators, not relayed as a sentiment, imo).

In the sense that “there is no end” to the “divine manifestations” of the Father God, we can get a sense that material existence is inherently safeguarded in a fashion that is yet to be socially realized in a satisfying manner. Historically, the enlightened tend to be of such a disposition…thinking that the determinism of God/Christ is so total, the love so keenly perfect and Total, that life is but a celebratory expression of that same beauty, the mutuality being what is playing out in every subjective experience…us all being shepherded towards unconditional love and a righteous life, etc.

What’s particularly touching about today’s passage is the potency of Krishna, in the tenderness of what he’s actually saying here… Arjuna, his beloved devotee/friend is going to be one of the many vehicles for the “infinite opulences” that Krishna’s recent curriculum is to manifest. This is divine intervention in history. Even though it’s also a tight curriculum that was notated as Scripture, it’s an act of power. Arjuna will forever just be unravelling the implications of the day, you’d imagine, and that was a template for the Bhagavad Gita itself as a scripture for devotees, however you’d imagine if Arjuna was real and this wasn’t myth that he would’ve been pretty spun out for like…the rest of his days. A rag doll in the throes…

It’s surprisingly normal as much as it’s mystical with Krishna. In the West here we berate religion and question God’s existence. In other cultures, in other approaches to God…it’s more like wildfire…things get weird…things manifest… it’s undeniable and the magic is real and the feedback loops work in live time… but like, the true template here is that He takes one guy who’s already like a leader amongst men, already a cultivated and adaptable individual, and He takes him aside outside of linear time, but then He begins an entire historical process with both him as a specific man and the events unfolding during that time which effectively sows the seeds of Hinduism as a world tradition? We could be living this with world leaders…it would be a comparable template.

The idea that society isn’t actively-effectively cultivating the science of total Omniscience is the singular delusion/origin of depressive states.

Any exuberant person in the culture could be an arm of such a divine intervention, sowing the seeds of comprehensive redemption, if you really get into the minutia of it. Perhaps Hollywood is just a crazy cycling through cosmically chosen ones…that they’ve buried the science behind all of this and are roaming the land, secretly grooming us out of Ymca youth soccer programs and the Boy Scouts of America the same savage, salacious way those weird monks in Tibet wander around playgrounds and classrooms looking for the next Dalai Lama. They indoctrinate them into Hollywood where writers give modern spins on the Humanities, and truly they are literally our hopes as a people, these infinitely attractive liberals…

Nah, just kidding, but that is how fronting a successful Jam band actually does work, by the way…

Still though, I mean to relay, put into words, captured as a wisdom system…this stuff is so dynamic/relevant that it hits. It shapes lives. People seek it out. It’s what they’re seeking out already in the things they follow deeply/find formative to their lives… it’s incredibly practical with Krishna as much as it is mystical. It’s also what is taught in the Bible. It’s cultural framing in the West is still refining itself.

Every great movie…every great album…every great story…is but a voicing of it. As a culture, it’s our unspoken center. It’s beyond identity. It’s the whole gambit. But it’s merely a person, expressed as All. You are the same, and oneness in Christ is realizing as much thoroughly by any means… either through conventional devotional service to your fellow man or even by way of seemingly waywardness/a left-handed path. It’s always a service, it’s merely a question of its continuation.

The way of the Shepherd is as such that all have merely walked each other home. Even wayward paths were and are in service, and we owe the lowest amongst us as much as the finest.

And they call it sensibility because it gives one a “sense” of…the imminent wrath of “All” that is “very much” “Manifest” yet “seen”.
