But what about Mother Kali who is oft-times pictured in ferocious and obscene forms, suggesting that you be Ecstatic in the circumstance of death, or apparent suffering, of process, that, even to trust and Commune with the Divine, you must accept process, and death.
Westerners, in particular like to imagine that the Divine is telling you, "Everythings OK. I Love you, just love one another, everythings fine" You dont want no Mother Kali. With thousands of arms lifting up bleeding chopped off heads, and a necklace of severed heads too. Suggesting that Ecstasy requires trust and the utter acceptance of death. We want comforting messages, rather utopian messages that do not require one to transcend yourself or accept the appearance of conditional reality as just an appearance in the context of That Which is Infinite Love-Bliss without the slightest differentiation.
We think that the disintegration and death of bodies is a philosophical matter that causes untrust and fear, and that fills you with philosophical propositions that are Godless, Ecstasyless, Loveless, Blissless.
As a matter of fact, the cosmic domain IS just like Mother Kali. Exactly so. It is full of death, full of process, full of moment to moment changes.
It is interesting to note that the much hyped Christian Trinity does not take death into account whereas the traditional Hindu Trinity includes Brahma (the "creator", Vishnu (the sustainer) and Siva the transformer and destroyer.
