@aimlovesmusic WildWire!Ren worked as the Omnitrix equivalent of tech support back when Eon had a huge group of alternates under his thumb. Because many -ens came to Eon for help with malware or wayward Omni issues, viruses passed between Omnis as often as the common cold.

Most of these viruses were benign and self-correcting but some were considerably more consequential.

Stixs, for instance, joined the EA to try and correct for the rampant mutations it was inflicting on his body. The problem there is that the process was too far along to be reversed— and the program turned into a virus that jumped from Omni to Omni.

Because Wwire was a tech, she was exposed to this particular virus and various mutations of it every day she worked at the EA. She (and the rest of the techs) came to the conclusion that the virus couldn’t be reversed or cured once contracted but that it could be prevented or redirected.

Part of the redirection was through adding to Omnis' code that the bearer’s base body could not have features removed or changed, only added to.

Additional features were things such as extra arms, feelers, wings, folds of skin, and, of course, tails. Later coding allowed for additional features to be steered towards desired outcomes, which is why Wwire's tail is thin and comically flexible; she wanted to have the option of hiding it in her clothes.

It came into common practice for -ens who contracted the virus to steer towards additional traits that could either enhance themselves, be easily hidden, or surgically removed with minimal issue. Soma (leftmost with dyed hair) has a nub of a tail normally obscured by his hologram. It was originally that of an adult Vulpimancer but he had it removed for fear of discovery in his civilian life.

The mark on Wwire's left hand became typical for those who decided to keep their additional features, a defiant sort of “This is how I am and I like it” not to be mistaken with a paw in the hand mark.

La place du Soma dans la quête de l’union avec le divin

Dans la civilisation des 7 rivières, l’union avec le divin était au cœur de la vie spirituelle. Cette union ne passait pas seulement par les rituels ou les prières, mais aussi par une expérience directe, vécue, intérieure. Le Soma jouait un rôle central dans cette recherche. Le neuvième mandala du Rig Veda est entièrement consacré au Soma. Il était si important qu’un mandala entier lui était…

"Or, consider this: you can pay people." Soma was so going to get murdered.

θ "Is ANYONE looking. for. employment? We do-not-offer monetary compensation."

"HowEVER, we do offer an OUTstanding b-b-benefits package! The people rave about OUR gracious health coverage. Such as: not BEING murdered ViOlEnTlY unless you. betray. ME. Yippie!"

Chandra, the name of the moon in indian language.. is also known as "soma"; it is the essence of the healing elixir of the same name, with its spiritual powers - its potential for granting of spiritual immortality.

The waxing and waning.. the labile nature of the celestial body, the signifier of the differentiated mind - is illustrative of the progression through different forms in its path to absorption, for liberation, realization.. to bridge spirit and matter through the mind; the objective of an alchemist.

The title "soma" refers to the mind, in its purest, untainted form, seeing through all duality.. this is the mind that bridges these higher and lower realms.

The ability to move beyond the impure Buddhi and Manastattvas at will.. to beyond limited purusa.. and to sustain instruments of sacred utility in its descend. The individual who obtains realization of Anuttara/Svatantrya.

This is the ultimate healing nature, the true essence of Soma, the elixirs immortality.

These phases of the moon are associated with the various aspects of mahadevi/the goddess.

The waxing and waning corresponding to the lighter and darker aspects of the goddess in tantrik tradition and the degradation and transformation of the mind and cognitions in which she wields.

The reasons siva is adorned with a crescent moon in the epics is deeply layered, but be assured it is crescent for a reason and not full.

The Waning Crescent Moon in Vedic astrology, in an electional paradigm, is ideal for completing a task, completing your work. It is the symbol of nearing completion.. be it of the mundane or the souls longing.

Those born during the Waning Crescent, rest assured are here for a completion and deep, penetrating contemplation.

As a Waning crescent Magha Nakshatra native in the 4th pada ruled by the moon.. I am hear to fulfill the honoring of my ancestors, to perfectly meld their strengths and weaknesses and do what they all have desired in one lifetime. A bharani ketu and ascendant conjunction whose lagnesha is in the 4th house in my lagna chart.. a moon that is Rohini in Amrita devata 4th house in the shastiamsa and saturn conjunct sun 4th house in the Navamsa.

My mind body and soul are fixed on appreciation of my family, my roots and their efforts.. and my atmakara jupiter 7th is finding the perfect union to carry the torch.

Om Namah Shivaya.

[talonabraxas]

“I am like the heaven, like the moon, like a candle by your glow; I am all reason, all love, all soul by your soul.” - Rumi

Goddess Selene in Orion Talon Abraxas

The 'wine' of Soma is within and around us whether we recognize it or not, and sooner or later it must be purified by the 'heavenly strainer.' Though we attempt to avoid tapas, suffering itself will always catch us out and tug at our sleeve until we face it squarely. Instead of permitting thoughts and emotions to contract and quiver in their attempts to defend us from pain and excess shock, we must try to extend them out freely, with the strength to receive and convert into ecstasy all contacts with life. One must "bake in the fire" until he can accommodate the overflooding power of Soma.

This is at the heart of the symbolic lunar initiation whereby the worshipper becomes the 'child' of the moon goddess and, through knowledge of her, becomes her husbandman. The Self is the fruit of the knowledge of Isis, the fruit of the union between Isis and Osiris, Eros and the Logos. The man who accomplishes this within his heart and mind raises up the crescent moon of offering within his brow and resolves the 'War in Heaven.' The woman who accomplishes this within the mystery of her ten-gated being becomes a mother of solar light. Thus in both man and woman the 'Queen of Night' may assume her rightful position at the side of her Solar Lord.

Shakti & Shiva in YabYum: the divine representation of the union of energy and awareness. + Later, under the fig tree, the master explained. "AIl that has to be changed. The stallion must be turned into a mare, man into a woman.

There is no other way. You remember how full of joy the mare was, anticipating her strength even before any thing happened? And then afterward it was she who was triumphant.

This is the story of the race. Woman came from man, but once the two sexes became independent, it was inevitable that one would devour the other. That is what the universe is: someone gives and someone receives.

There is always a sacrificial victim. Many people believe that the only way to avoid this cycle is asceticism and chastity. But this never works, for in one way or another the individual is devoured.

Always the man's role is secondary. The mare devours the stallion who has impregnated her, the bee kills the drones, the primeval mother carries around her neck the primordial Lingam.

Every mother, mare, goddess and woman is a devouress, and in one form or other every male is castrated and consumed." He paused.

To change all this we must redirect the tremendous energy that you saw in the stallion. We must restore the original principle of male passivity and female activity. The world was created not by the masculine ptinciple but by the feminine. Love must learn to follow this course. Only those willing to learn how to love women in a different way, murdering them out wardly in order to permit an inner rebirth, will find the immortal city of Agharti.

"The key moment is when the semen is ejaculated. When the stallion ejaculates, he becomes impoverished. The role of the male appears to end while the female's begins. But semen is also soma and should be Conserved.

It should not spurt outward but inward.

Outwardly it can only create children of the Aesh, while inwardly it makes sons of the spirit. Outwardly it plays the mother's game; inwardly the male is impregnated and engenders the son of man.

"No sons of the flesh are born in this loveless love. There are only sons of the spirit, escaping cyclical life, who are created when the semen is driven inward, giving them eternal life."

"Semen is a visible aspect of the great power of which we are all a part. It is OM made into substance. It is the movement of the sun within your blood and of the sea of life within your body. It is also the word you use to communicate with the gods.

You must therefore preserve it if you wish to enter Agharti." The disciple said that he had seen statues of Siva and Paryati making love on the walls of the temple but he did not under stand how the semen was to be withheld.

"You must discovcr this for yourself. You must transform a natural act into a ritual, changing it into something supernatural. Ordinary sexual life does not create magicians or Siddhas; it merely perpetuates the human race. You will therefore have to follow a different road, also in the company of a woman so that you will both be saved. If she is not with you, something will be left unfulfilled and incomplete. You will have attained nothing.

Even at the ends of their lives, saints and ascetics con tinue to yearn for women. The technique you must follow is therefore not something you learn but something you must grow to understand. At the moment of ecstasy Siva remains motion less; he does not ejaculate his semen. She, Parvati, is the active one, for when woman does not rcceive, she gives.

From her skin the woman transmits a substance which enters the man's blood and becomes a part of him. It creates a unity within him. The seed is planted, and he enters the city of Siddhas. Pure sexuality echoes a desire to return to the ancestral home. It is a return to unity: true sex is the nostalgia of the gods.

"You are carried beyond the realm of ordinary existence. The life of a magician goes against nature: it proceeds in the opposite direction." --El/Ella ~ Book of Magic love

The Place of Soma in the Quest for Union with the Divine

In the Seven Rivers civilization, union with the divine was at the heart of spiritual life. This union was achieved not only through rituals or prayers, but also through direct, lived, inner experience. Soma played a central role in this quest. The ninth mandala of the Rig Veda is entirely devoted to Soma. It was so important that an entire mandala was dedicated to it in the compilation of Vedic…
