It's not a "dig".

You and I just happen to have very different views,
almost polar opposites, so, it makes sense
that we will challenge each other frequently.
(If you feel your views being threatened,
do not project the responsibility for that onto me,
but look within and listen to your doubts.
Question everything. Start with yourself.)

Also, I present my views provocatively,
because, well, frankly,
thats just the sort of revolutionary genius I am.

Kidding. Don't hate me.

Watch the video instead.

You never know;
you might learn something.

The trickster is an important archetype in the history of man. He is a god, yet he is not. He is the wise-fool. It is he, through his creations that destroy, points out the flaws in carefully constructed societies of man. He rebels against authority, pokes fun at the overly serious, creates convoluted schemes, that may or may not work, plays with the Laws of the Universe and is sometimes his own worst enemy. He exists to question, to cause us to question not accept things blindly. He appears when a way of thinking becomes outmoded needs to be torn down built anew. He is the Destroyer of Worlds at the same time the savior of us all.

The Trickster lives inside and outside of Time. He is of our world, yet not of our world, so our laws will not always apply. Other symbols, associated with him include keys, clock, masks, infinity among other mythological images

Trickster is a creator, a joker, a truth teller, a story teller, a transformer linked to the spiritual frequency changes humanity is experiencing at this time.

We seem most accessible to the synchronistic gifts of the Trickster when we ourselves are at or near boundaries or are experiencing transition states, periods of major life transitions seem to be occasioned by an abundance of meaningful coincidence. Personal growth sees not only to facilitate synchronicity, but in turn to be facilitated by it. As an archetype, the Trickster, the boundary dweller, finds expression through human imagination and experience...

Trickster is an alchemist. The Shamanic aspect that transforms or evolves... When you allow yourself to be abused, playing the victim, and remain stagnant in your life, the trickster aspect of you is in control... The concept of the Trickster is as much a part of humanity's history as the concept of God. All creational myths deal with polarity, good god vs. bad god, the duality of our nature and with each of us. To be emotionally challenged, is to listen to the voice of the trickster and live in a space of drama and negative emotions. To create balance is to live in the so-called 'god aspect' of who we are.

Physical reality is a game in which the Trickster challenges us at every turn... With his lessons, he awakens us to who we are and allows us to explore the true purpose of our soul's journey in the holographic experience through which we experience consciously at this level of awareness.

His energy allows us to break out of old stereotypes, whether they've been imposed by ourselves, our families, our culture, or circumstance. This is the energy that opens the world of limitless possibilities and it behooves us all to work with it before it destroys us, to touch the Trickster as he touches us.

Most in India knows that Shiva(Mahadev/Mahakala) is a very innocent deity. He is known to be dancing and having fun. Even drinking bhang an intoxicating. I think even Jesus was a fun guy, who used to enjoy banquets and drinking wine ..hehe..

There are some masters who take Ganja, but only after enlightenment (inner transformation of self). Its hard for them to stay in the body, that is why.

Make sure you don't have any bad planets in 6th and 8th house before you continue that route.

Does Ganja have DMT molecule in them?

To your saying our views always clashes.
I am sad you perceive it that way.
I am just playing the devil's advocate deliberately.

>>>I never mentioned Shiva.
Well Mahakala is another name for Shiva in hinduism. Mahakali is the ferocious wife of Shiva. And Padma sambhava is considered a great deity in the buddhist world.

I saw this video only once. And forgive me if I am jumping to conclusions, but I heard somewhere in that video where it made a connection between Mahakala and Padma sambhava.

I am considered to be a cancer by sun placement and AG is a cappy I believe. I thought you speak of polar opposites on star signs. But I gather it applies to any planets/bodies.
