KASHMIR ŚAIVISM
Kashmir Śaivism (Trika "The Trinity")
The trifold philosophy of Trika Shaivism is based on the three goddess energies that sit on the top of Shivas trident. Para in the center as the supreme energy, the knower, the willingness and unity of the energy. Apara (right) is 'that of which is known', the diversity and re-absorption, Parapara (left) is associated with knowledge, unity and stasis..
The practice of waking the stagnant or inferior energy is to progress toward supreme energy. The ultimate aim of Trika is to make the individual feel one with (god) Shiva.
Progression to the highest energy level leads to creativity, collective consciousness and spiritual liberation.
She is simply luminous pure consciousness, vibrating with the greatest subtlety.
