\u201cSo, let me get this straight. Since I last saw you, all four of you went to Lady Jess to teach you, because you decided you were ignorant peasants?\u201d, Lady Hypatia smiled at the four newborn Gods.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, we figured that staying ignorant would be a poor way to repay you for your kindness\u201d, Albert smiled. \u201cSo, we looked around to see who would teach us how the world works. Jetsunma seemed to be the least busy, so we went to her\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd then all four of you became Gods, and then Jess chastised Lord Shiva for giving her the title \u2018Teacher of Gods\u2019?\u201d, she sipped her coffee and snickered.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t chastise Lord Shiva!\u201d, Yeshe Tsogyal protested, taken aback by the very idea. \u201cI just urged him very politely to reconsider, because my husband and wife were doing the same work as I, and it was a mere accident that I got such brilliant students, so if I am to be recognised for it, they should be as well\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd so all three of you got the title\u201d, Hypatia smiled. \u201cQuite deservingly, if I may say so, since you\u2019ve been doing wonderful work there. Thanks to you, the level of understanding of the world among the post-Earth souls has risen dramatically\u201d.<\/p>\n
<\/a>\u201cAnd all four of you now have an official title in the lineage of Jetsunma Yeshe Tsogyal Rimpoche in the Nyingma tradition of Vajrayana Buddhism\u201d, Kay nodded approvingly. \u201cWhich means you all now have long titles I will never manage to remember\u201d, she pretended to nurse a headache.<\/p>\n \u201cLet\u2019s all pretend you didn\u2019t just remember mine perfectly\u201d, Jess tickled her in the ribs and laughed as the Mind of God tried to squirm away, giggling.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, what do you plan to do next?\u201d, Lady Hypatia asked the four.<\/p>\n \u201cIf it is acceptable to you, we would like to join you in your work as the Judges\u201d, Hilde looked at Hypatia. \u201cWe considered between that and joining Jetsunma in her teaching work, but we decided that, since we belong to you, we should take some of your workload away and thus make your life easier\u201d, she smiled at her Goddess, who started to tear up and decided to hide her discomfort by embracing the girl.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is perfectly acceptable. All four of you are overqualified for the job, and we are honoured to have you\u201d, nodded Lord Vishnu, who decided to save Lady Hypatia from the embarrassment of having to say something while trying not to cry.<\/p>\n \u2026<\/p>\n \u201cWait, I just remembered that you referred to Lady Mandarava as your wife, and not sister-wife\u201d, Kay scratched her jaw. \u201cDoes that mean\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYes, it\u2019s a three-way relationship. I am her wife as much as I am his. If I didn\u2019t love them equally, there would certainly be all kinds of jealousy or feelings of exclusion. Our minds are so intertwined, we don\u2019t even think of ourselves as separate persons, more like one person with three bodies, all in service of each other\u201d, Lady Jess nodded.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s why you refused any recognition if the two of them don\u2019t partake\u201d, Goddess of Wisdom nodded. \u201cYou perceive yourselves as a single unit, that just happens to sit under three different apple trees at the same time\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m glad that you understand us. People get confused when they see us, because they always get hung up on sex and imagine two in intercourse with the odd person sticking out. That\u2019s not at all how it is. We meditated together so much, that we would forget which body is where. Our consciousness was completely merged, and we automatically took care of each other\u2019s needs, without even realising. Someone would be thirsty and someone would bring water. One of us would work late, and one of the others would wake up and bring more oil for the lamp and go back to sleep. I don\u2019t even remember which one did what. So, even saying that it was a three-way marriage doesn\u2019t do it justice. Mandarava is not so much my wife as she is a body part, figuratively speaking. You will rarely see us talking to each other, but you will see us finishing each other\u2019s thoughts, or picking up each other\u2019s role in a conversation. The fact that two out of three of my souls are female is merely a factoid\u201d, she smiled.<\/p>\n \u201cBut what about sex? I mean, technically\u2026?\u201d, Kay blushed.<\/p>\n \u201cTechnically, sex consisted mostly of breathing each other\u2019s energy, of surrender and worship\u201d, Jess shrugged. \u201cOf course we were incredibly intimate with each other, but if you visualise my husband in padmasana<\/i>, and me in his lap, you\u2019ll understand there\u2019s not much penetration or action of any kind going on there\u201d, she laughed as Kay was cherry red. \u201cI would embrace him and we would breathe each other. Or I would embrace my wife and we would breathe each other. When you have three-way blending of minds and all are breathing vajra<\/i> and visualising mandalas, the sex on Earth was pretty much the same as it is for you and your husband here; souls breathing each other in directly. The physical world was something that happened in the background\u201d, she shrugged.<\/p>\n \u201cI am starting to see why the three of you became Gods, and others doing apparently similar things in your tradition didn\u2019t. You were the goal to each other, not means to an end\u201d, Kay nodded.<\/p>\n \u201cExactly. We weren\u2019t using each other to attain enlightenment; we used enlightenment to love and serve each other\u201d, Jess smiled blissfully.<\/p>\n \u201cI am honoured to be your friend; and by \u2018you\u2019 I mean all three of you, who are one\u201d, Karuna bowed, and Jess Rimpoche just hugged her. \u201cYou\u2019re not merely my friend, sweetheart. You\u2019re my sister\u201d.<\/p>\n \u2026<\/p>\n \u201cThe religions and cultures seem to be amalgamating wonderfully\u201d, Lady Shakti smiled at her husband. \u201cA tantric Tibetan Goddess just brought four German Christians who worship a neoplatonist Greek Goddess to godhood. Also, the said Tibetan Goddess is sister-bonding with Karuna\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cSounds very much like heaven\u201d, Shiva smiled. \u201cThe only kind of a religious war they could possibly have is over trying to give each other all the credit. But just imagine people on Earth seeing them. They would have an absolute fit\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cYou mean, they would try to burn them all at a stake for heresy?\u201d, she giggled.<\/p>\n \u201cExactly\u201d, he nodded.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think we are even close to seeing the dumbest and craziest they have to offer\u201d, Shakti sighed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cSo, let me get this straight.
