The 12 Secret Kālīs | & The Most Closely Guarded Secret in Tantra

This might be the most closely guarded secret teaching in non-dual Tantra!

First, we discuss some of the non-dual, "left" leaning traditions within Tantrik Shaivism with an emphasis on the Kaula marga and its profound liturgy and philosophy. 
Then, we introduce the "formless Kali who is pure Void", the "point in Shiva which even Shiva cannot objectify" and the 12 Kalis that are the threefold expressions of the Four Goddess of the Trika! 

Lots of exciting Non-Dual Tantrik material! Let's have at it! 

Here are a list of the secret Kali's presented in the lecture:

aparā (prameya)

Sṛṣṭikālī = manifesting an object internally, she then
Raktakālī (bahirmkuhī) = becomes passionate towards that object
Sthitināśakālī = wishes to reabsorb it and starts to internalize it
Yamakālī = manifests and dissolves a "vighna" (obstacle) to re-absorption 

parāparā (pramāna)

Saṃhārakālī = reabsorbs the object 
Mṛtyukālī = and contemplates "svabhava": my very nature is to reabsorb! 
Rudrakālī = perceives a subtle impression left over from perception + also Pure Consciousness 
Mārtaṇḍakālī = reabsorbs the solar-mandala of 12 faculties into the "Lord of the Circle" (ego) 

parā (paramātr)

Paramārkakālī = reabsorbs the Lord of the Circle (ego) 
Kālāgnirudrakālī = reabsorbs the separation of one purusha (individual knowing subject) from another (mayīya-mala) 
Mahākālakālī = reabsorbs the Universal Subject (Shiva) into full expansion 
Mahābhairavacaṇḍograghorakālī = reabsorbs even that fully expanded ground into...what? void unspeakable!
