Life rarely works out as we planned it. Often it works out worse
and sometimes better than we planned. It is my hypothesis, based on
extensive clinical experience as a psychiatrist and a psychoanalyst
- that when we live life out of the outer fringes of our psyche, it
works out worse than we hoped for. When we live life out of the
deeper center of our psyche - our Soul, it plays out much better
than we anticipated. Life lived out of our Ego - the center of our
outer, conscious personality is lived on the outer fringes of our
potential. Life lived in tune with the Soul, the center of our
deepest personality and the pacemaker of our destiny, blossoms to
its fullest potential. The soul conveys its message via the latent
code of archetypes or timeless wisdom templates that have
crystallized in human consciousness over several million years of
experience as a species. This latent code lives in myths and
stories of each culture. In this book, I have presented one such
group of stories or wisdom templates. This is the latent code of
Shakti - the life force that energies and guides us on our life
course. These are the stories of mysterious goddesses of Hindu
culture, collectively called Shakti or Spiritual energy that can
help us live out of our soul. Welcome to the realm of Shakti-the
inner goddess in every man and every woman. Whenever we are dealing
with personal crisis, life transition, a new beginning, a traumatic
event, a medical or psychological problem, a relationship tangle, a
major life decision, some spiritual or psychological crossroad,
this latent code is activated by our soul to guide us. This helps
us to make an informed decision consistent with our life purpose
and spiritual calling. For each specific life problem, there is a
corresponding aspect of the latent code that spurs us onto our
path. To prepare for a new endeavor, the latent code of the goddess
of arts and academics Saraswati steps in, To attain peace and
prosperity, code of Laxmi guides our path. When we walk the line
between self assertion and mutuality, code of Parvati guides our
path. When we are struggling to tame the dark and dysfunctional
aspects of our personality, the code of Kali helps us trim our
shadow. Life transitions often call for a period of void and inner
emptiness before new life structures could be created. The code of
the great grandmother Aditi presides over inner void and new
creations. When we are trying to integrate the opposites in our
nature, the latent code of the archetype of the sacred marriage -
the dance of the masculine Shiva and the eternal feminine Shakti
provide a useful template.
