Yab-Yum "father-mother" Talon Abraxas

Yab-Yum (Tibetan meaning "father-mother") is a common symbol in the Buddhist art of India, Bhutan, Nepal and Tibet representing the male deity in sexual union with his female consort. Often the male deity is sitting in lotus position while his consort is sitting in his lap.

The symbolism is associated with Anuttarayoga tantra and, while there are various interpretations of the symbolism in the twilight language, the male figure is usually linked to compassion (karuṇā) and skillful means (upāya-kauśalya), while the female partner to 'insight' (prajñā).

The symbolism of union and sexual polarity is a central teaching Tantric Buddhism, especially in Tibet. The union is realised by the practitioner as a mystical experience within one's own body.

Yab-yum is generally understood to represent the primordial (or mystical) union of wisdom and compassion. In Buddhism the masculine form is active, representing the compassion and skillful means (upaya) that have to be developed in order to reach enlightenment. The feminine form is passive and represents wisdom (prajna), which is also necessary to enlightenment. United, the figures symbolize the union necessary to overcome the veils of Maya, the false duality of object and subject.

Yab-yum may also be represented through the aniconic signification of yantra and mandala. In Tibetan Buddhism, the same ideas are to be found concerning the bell and the dorje, which, like the yab-yum, symbolize the dualism that must be exceeded. The sacred Tantric practice leads to rapid development of mind by using the experience of bliss, non-duality, and ecstasy while in communion with one's consort.

This is one of those true, declassified government things that always sounds made up but one of the things Henry Kissinger did with his career was use the CIA to help turn small, prosperous socialist nations into fascist dictatorships just to keep those nations powerless and possibly to keep socialist systems *looking* doomed and futile to the American public, like maybe just to scare Americans out of demanding better infrastructure or universal income. Yes it sounds like an insane conspiracy theory a maniac would invent. It also happened multiple times and several generations of people around the world are still living in misery because of it.

Wednesday, June 25: Cavalera Conspiracy, "Hearts of Darkness"

Reconnecting with his brother was a surefire way for Max Cavalera to regain some of the goodwill he lost over years of trendhopping and increasingly lazy songwriting with Soulfly, enough so that Inflikted was greeted with a fair amount of enthusiasm even though the only thing distinguishing Cavalera Conspiracy from Soulfly was Igor’s swaggering drumming (to be fair, Joe Duplantier was also on board as bassist, but he was barely in the mix and for the most part he was there as a guest and to promote Gojira).  Still, “Hearts of Darkness” crackled with chemistry between the brothers and had a heads down groove that mowed like prime Sepultura, though what came across in hindsight was that Logan Mader’s production was a little too smooth, and Marc Rizzo went a little hard on the video game shredding, to the point of distracting from the leanness and focus of the song’s attack.  It wasn’t a new peak for either Cavalera, but there was an innate spark that brought both of them, especially Max, a renewed vigor and sense of purpose.
