What I have said about uniqueness is this notion that existence doesn't repeat... there is no need, it has already been done that way. Yes, is this not the game being played right now? Indeed, but theory is different from realization.

Can this particular form of resonance not speak for itself as this aspect of that?

No, what I do is respond authentically. When I am finished with a thought, with a response, I will move on. Until the response is expressed completely, I cannot move on. Even when I try to say more briefly, it will gnaw, it refuses to stay in. If I say in the wrong place, it...

The West is so unfamiliar with truth that any fool can pretend. It makes it very difficult to spot authenticity, better to ignore all... It is fine, take what is useful, leave the rest. You are your authority hmm? I do not want to be your authority, even if I am made your authority, you...

Now, the same action is auspicious. Before, it was utterly animalistic, now it is human. Consciousness remains pure through all that occurs.

We see the same in human relationships, we can become almost possessed in love. There is no consciousness left of yourself, you have morphed into anger or desire or whatever... The intent is to not fall, not become entangled, to remain as Shiva, conscious of all that is happening. Now, if it...

Acting unconsciously, enamored with Shakti, ego is there. Activing consciously, you are Shiva, the consciousness of activity, Shakti. Now, thoughts are Shakti, emotions are Shakti, sensations are Shakti, everything you are conscious of is Shakti. Indeed, without Shakti, there is no experience...

I am not interested in how to control anger, why? It is not a mistake. It is about looking at why you are angry, is it divisive or unifying? Motive is more important than activity. Karma means action, who is the doer? The world is the activity of Shakti, she is the doer, trying to satisfy...

Only a sectarian mind would not notice his desire when it presents. The texts have become more important than the actuality, how? The texts have (at best) come from that actuality. Before it is recorded, it has been conveyed. Maybe they were better times, you didn't need to justify. It was...

It doesn't matter AT ALL what you believe to cause that. Merging opposites, dissolving duality consciously, something happens. Meditation is another way to encounter it - and can happen utterly without learning. There are many ways. Life itself is the way. Devotion needs something to be...

For me, this is why he is claimed by Yogi's. The Vedas are very confusing! No other character is as complete, as dualistic, paradoxical. Thus, he represents Yoga. The union of opposites. The transcendent reality. Experience-able.

He is destroyer of dualities.

For me, the other Gods are responsible for various aspects of experience, the energetic expression of life. Shiva is the transcendent consciousness of that. Shakti is the energy of Shiva's desire. The play is to please Shiva. There are other depictions where Shiva has made it impossible for...

For me, by aligning each God with Shakti as I have shown, I separate them from Shiva. I cannot even make Brahma and Brahman distinct, they are too similar. Since Shakti has come from Shiva, maybe Brahma/n means creator or source? Otherwise I do not much care about the whole word other than to...

For me, the nature of a sect is anti yoga. It means you refuse to agree about something.... Both sides are wrong, where do they meet? Yoga.

Why is this even in Belief and Sprituality? If you want a discussion solely related to Judaism, go to the Abrahamic sub forum. For me, this part is for dialog between faiths. We cannot meet in belief or scripture, that is what separates us.

So, while Yoga has its own way, it can use anything. It is because he lives in a united way, thus recognizes the unity of all. Even without a scripture, he can use your life as the example. Creating a distinct doctrine just creates believers. The Yogi is not a believer. He wants proof, and...

Then we can meet with this unity. For me, monotheism doesn't matter, but the unification of Gods is important towards understanding that transcendent union. I actually think that a pantheon can be useful in various ways, it sets clear distinction between roles or aspects of divinity, thus...

Om Shanti. For me, this is why Brahma exists, with his Manu giving laws. It is why Vishnu exists, to prepare you for the possibility that this can happen to you - especially through Krishna. Perhaps this is where we differ? I see the whole pantheon as culminating in Shiva, I see the others as...

Shiva is the destroyer of maya. Remember that world is "Samsara" in Sanskrit. He is the liberator.
