Mohini is the female version of Vishnu. She enchants to bring attention to spiritual reality. Material and Spiritual reality are interesting concepts that I have never seen before. It could be interesting to write something about Mohini and her powers to draw attention to spiritual reality. Maybe she and Vishnu could be twins instead of being male and female versions of the same god.
Although women are represented by material reality it is not because of a patriarchal society. It is because women "give form" to life when they have children and men do not. For this reason women are associated with material reality.
Material reality- red, spiritual reality- white, Vishnu- infinity
Unborn child does not think or feel while it sleeps
Maya- mental material reality and Brahma uses Maya to judge Phrakrhatii
In this section of the videos it talks a lot about the state of the child in the womb and how that relates to the gods. The unborn child is in an undisturbed sleep and he or she does not know about what is going on around them. It is compared to a god sleeping on water undisturbed.
"Without Maya man would be at the mercy of nature, but with Maya man can dominate nature" This is an interesting idea that could make some sort of story. Maya could be a magic power or something like that.
