If you think of a film projector playing a movie in a theater, Shiva is the content of the film, while Shakti is the light of the projector that shines through the film and projects upon the screen. To go one step further, the screen is maya. It appears to be something it's not. The movie appears to be continuous motion, but it's not.

This is a good Analogy, however, it should be the other way. Shiva is the light of the projector, and Shakti is the content and spinning reel of the film. The feminine is what is in motion this is why it is always seen as energy, Shakti means power. The masculine is seen as being still, that is why Shiva is represented as light or consciousness. The moving film is Shakti's dance, and this is what is perceived as Maya or the world when infused with the light of consciousness. The movie that plays on the screen.

@@ananda224 Yes, Shakti is the power. The light is the power. And also, yes, Shiva is still and is the frame of the film. Shiva is the static mental content that the power of Shakti animates to create the dance on the screen. It's the interaction of the two that creates to dance. They are continually dancing. I've seen them as magenta and cyan energies continually swirling around and around and twisting and turning to create the universe of matter and energy. These are after all just mental images or frameworks for understanding something that is ultimately beyond description. It's okay to hold these, though, as long as we remember that they aren't the reality that they represent.

@@midi510 Yes, ultimately these are all concepts to describe the absolute and formless, Sat-Chit-Ananda, which can be only known by being It otherwise Self-Realization or Enlightenment. I see what you mean in regards to your analogy, Shiva and Shakti ultimately are personifications of a non-dual state of reality. Yes, Shiva can be the screen, and you are right, Shiva is often refereed to as the still screen or frame. It is is consciousness. However, Pure Consciousness has always been still and formless without content, it is an empty screen, it does not move, does not dance, it is not perceivable because it is the perceiver, you experience this as yourself as awareness. Shiva has always been represented this way. What projects content is Shakti, which is also consciousnesses but only in a different state or movement, vibration or power to change, and this is perceived as energy or form, it is consciousness vibrating, like the ripples in a vibrating pond. Both Shiva and Shakti are one and the same things which cannot be without the other like Fire and it’s heat, Love and how love is expressed etc. If you had said that Shiva was an empty screen, and the light is the light from a projector that is projecting images onto the screen or cause the screen to change than I can agree with that. However, you described Shiva as a frame of film with light passing through it. This means that the light is being changed by the contents in the film strip when the light passes through the frame. Shakti is the medium that causes Shiva to change as the ability to change is a feminine attribute. Maya is a result of shakti, it is the power of concealment through change, it’s no coincidence that they are both feminine names. Shakti conceals the original nature of the light by changing it and the illusion or concealment is maya. What is fundamentally on the wall or theater screen is really not the film frame, it is the light, but instead of clear light it is filtered or changed by the contents of the strip. Shiva is always the substance, while shakti is the cause for change of the substance. The substances that is fundamentally the same all the way from the projector to the screen is the light, it is continuous, though it may look different after passing through the film, fundamentally it’s the same.

@@ananda224 Maybe I don't understand the tradition of the eastern framework and shouldn't use it in relating mine. I'm not describing something I learned, I'm describing what I see from the perspective of pure consciousness within the manifestation or expression that is me. Dropping the eastern outlook, what is on the screen is an expression or manifestation of the interaction or "dance" of the light and the content of the information that is the frame of film. Both the light and the content of the frame are expressions or manifestations of pure consciousness. As such, the light is the animating power and the contents of the frame are the contents of the mind of God or infinite or cosmic mind. It's the interaction of the two that create the animation that is the universe. The screen is only implied by the observation of the animation. It could be said that the screen is the observation. There is a hierarchy with unity at the peak and multiplicity at the base. Unity is beyond limitation and therefore beyond description. The first level of expression or manifestation is duality. This is because for anything to be something in particular, it needs boundary or limitation. For my car to be my car, it has to not be everything else. The first level where there is any kind of separation is duality. Duality manifests in many dimensions, like; yin/yang, female/male, analog/digital, General Relativity/Quantum Mechanics, chaos/order, art/science, being/doing, etc. At the level of trinity are things like; father/son/spirit, amps/ohms/volts, form/color/texture, body/mind/spirit, etc. At the peak, everything is one and at the base, everything is some individual thing with all the various groups in between. A tree is an individual thing, but part of the forest and has parts like the bark, leaves, and roots, etc. This hierarchy is the basis of my framework. it's how I see what is. It isn't what really is, but my working model. My way of connecting the dots. Everyone has a framework, whether they know it or not. I've been influenced by what I've experienced of others' models, but I didn't get this from anyone. It's just how I see it. Back in the seventies and early eighties, I found the eastern traditions appealing, but limiting, if in no other way than communicating to a "modern" world. At the foundation of my spiritual experiences is a full blown, spontaneous, nearly instantaneous kundalini awakening back in the seventies. The analogy of the film projector comes from experiences of the entire universe coming to a full stop and starting up again. On the sides of that frozen state were a slowing down and then speeding up of what I describe as frames or moments. We have an analog experience of a digitally presented analog reality. The movie analogy is useful because the movie seems continuous when it's really just single frames played one after another. That's the way the manifest universe manifests. There's more to it, but that's the basis.

Absolutely superb. Although the five M's were not metaphorical, they were literal. Saying the taboo rites were metaphorical is deceptively neutering their efficacy. Transgressing taboos is required for liberation because you experience the illusory nature of your own judgements thus freeing one's behavior. You no longer feel restricted by anxiety or fear, and can live to the fullest knowing God is in everything, not just sacred rites.

I enjoy the fact that he is on our level, not hovering above us to be worshipped, or revered. I know I need to explore my higher self, I know it's inside me, I'm just weighted down and cluttered inside. I need sounds and vibrations and look to the universe and beyond and try to imagine the matter swirling and try to picture the sounds it produces. I played drums from an early age and just didn't play, I drew closer to the tone and vibration of each drum and cymbal, and it took time but, I would close my eyes and the visual of each drum head and cymbal surface would slow down and I could see the vibrations . It might sound like I'm reading too much into to this but it helped me to get a little better over time. I'm self taught. It's been a few years since I've played steady and I miss the vibration. I think lack of playing has let the clutter back in.

Alright, 4 years ago, I wouldn't have even entertained this video, after going through a experience,, plus having flashbacks to my childhood, I know the spirit has no gender, only the essence of masculine and feminine both traits all humanity possess.. Wise logical thinking, the ability to survive, and the ability to care and be kind to their fellow man, nurturing.. each one of us have these traits and capabilities. This is strange, the spirit was showing me this even at a young age, this is confirmation,, feminine,, love/nurturing,, that's been ripped from the hearts and minds of the majority of our world,, it has given me the answer to what it needs from those called, and that's to place love,, back upon her thrown, in her rightful place besides wisdom.. I can go on but my story is long.. but this is it.. restore love back to the hearts,, expose the lies,, put the spirit for humanity back on top giving it more value than paper or "prescious metals", give up your riches,, can man do that?? and help raise up others to where we all are on one level,, where no man is above another.. based on color, wealth and position of false power... We are all one,, despite what anyone says.. each one of us effects another in our daily lives.. let love shine out from your hearts...

Thank you. It's time. I say this in that it time for me to finally take a journey with someone who understands and can give a non religious and practical explanation of things demystifying the strange things. For it is fear of the new and the strange that we deny ourselves what we need to understand those few keys that unlock a deeper level. Especially when one comes from a religion that says they are right and the others are not only wrong, but are demon gods and so on. I was at least lucky to do my own journey within, before i read anything of other religions, with a science inquiring mind, to understanding things. And in my ponderings of the tiniest invisible parts that were energy. And had to be moving so they did not attract opposites and explode in self annihilation. And these became the building blocks of all other building blocks. The moving were at a frequency that with energy has an effect of TUNING IN via RESONANCE, as a RADIO does as an exact example of the key principle. The point to made is that these make up different types of building blocks of all things. Of Matter, of Spirit, of Emotions, of Thoughts etc... each a different type and frequency of energy, invisible yet self evident. This in turn is also having LIFE FORCE ENERGY as SOURCE of ALL LIFE. And also INTELLIGENCE. Even so as to ORDER ITSELF. To consider that creation and evolution coexist, and have elements of truth about them both. That the intelligence life force within all things, is evolving into new forms which is the evolutionary concept in basic form. Darwin is different extras. Indeed we are growing and learning and so on.... So having this concept that the energy within all things is in me and we are ALL ONE, and FREQUENCY TUNES us into things. And Then I found other people saying similar things by their own insights, and then eastern philosophy religions saying similar things. But still the aversion to FEAR of the unknown... taking concepts that I found to be true as a tester to check for consistency... to tread carefully... not to create a fearful bogey man from the rumours and propaganda of those who have no experience at all in these things, being of a religion that demonises anything else. We can have imaginary friends and imaginary enemies. We are very programmable. So having done much of that for many years, I knew there was much more to find, but being wary of traditions having extra stuff that was wasting and diverting time and energy in blind faith traditions. I sought to find an understanding before I fully committed to anything. And now with this fellow here, I think I have found the explanations that will take me to a higher level of understanding and learning practices. For thinking about it... the snake is not evil to be feared. With the DNA and other, kundalini, etc, there has been that fearful thing. But a straight line is a straight line, and the basic snake is a straight line as a basic living animal. So as to say, we have a reptilian brain layer. For indeed these are not serpents but mere representations of basic life or energy coming together into a circuit as it were, in an alignment. In essence is resonance of the energies of the Chakra's coming together into a flow. And really has nothing to do with a snake. But the FEAR Taboos thing... this really messes with us. But as I said it is time to consider these things with more open mind with still some caution. But one thing is for sure the powers of the spirit to heal and do much more are before us. And there is more than one way to interface with them, ethically with all the blessings of the omnipresent supreme being life force source energy.

There are also androginous characters on other cultures. Cibeles is a greek goddess famous un Spain. She was androginous but the other gods castrated her against her will because a god with masculine and femenine energies would become the most powerful one. Now she is identified with bees because they kill their males during the flowerless season. She rides leons so the image is related with mahishasuramardini, riding a lion and killing a masculine asura or bull.
