Her hair is like a wriggling worm, becoming a figure-eight, and turning into monomarks.
The lower side becomes pure line, suggesting breasts or legs.

The conical breasts imply triumph, like the protuberances on an elephant's forehead.
She holds up the flag like Joan of Arc; on the flag is Shiva meditating,
then everything disappears.
A Brahmin appears performing agnihotram (the fire sacrifice).
The verse says "let it appear", implying magic and thaumaturgy.
Beauty is the value-factor, it gives tangibility to the Absolute.
It is something you can hold in your hand.
(c.f. certitude is "like holding a gooseberry in the fist").
Shiva should not wear a necktie; Shiva's snakes should bite and should not be respectable..
Shiva and Parama Shiva (supreme Shiva): Parama Shiva should be raised still more and the parameter should become very thin.
Shiva's glory is a mounting vertical parameter.
Parvati's glory is the horizontal Ganges, flowing for the benefit of humanity.
The horizontal Ganges ascends and emerges vertically from Shiva's forehead.

The jingles on the Devi´s belt:
The sound is on the Numerator
The bells are on the Denominator
The belt is the parameter.

Shiva is called "Chandra Chuda " which means "moon-wearer"
- the Most High God has to be thin as a crescent moon.
The vision of the Absolute is the cancellation of the Most High God and Goddess through beauty.
Mother-worship is a more ontological, more tangible starting-point than a Father God.
Ontology itself is materialism, but beauty gives it value.
Contemporary philosophy is returning to hylozoism.
Heraclitus, when he states that you cannot enter the same river twice, is describing the flux of becoming or the élan vital.

DEFINITIONS
"Ethics is the study and evaluation of human conduct in the light of moral principle"

This judgement consists of defining actions as good or wrong (not good).
Goodness is that which, in anything, is appropriate to its end or purpose.
We may distinguish a particular good or a general good.

SOCIAL ETHICS - homeostasis, something better than something worse.
