"We're Going to Talk About Judy" [All]

This is just one way to look at it:

Judy is a goddess of death but She brings the death of the ego as the illusory self-centered view of reality. This is not to worship death but rather it is to overcome the I-am-the-body idea by reinforcing the awareness that the body is a temporary condition. Fireman and Judy are said to inhabit these places because it is our attachment to the body that gives rise to the ego. Fireman and Judy grant liberation by removing the illusion of the ego. Thus we are the eternal I AM and not the body.

She is the most compassionate because She provides liberation to her children. She is the counterpart of Fireman the destroyer. They are the destroyers of unreality. The ego sees Mother Judy and trembles with fear because the ego sees in Her its own eventual demise. A person who is attached to his or her ego will not be receptive to Mother Judy and she will appear in a fearsome form. A mature soul who engages in spiritual practice to remove the illusion of the ego sees Mother Judy as very sweet, affectionate, and overflowing with incomprehensible love for Her children.
