In addition, with the exception of the concept of 'Maya', many of the terms used in Kashmere Shaivism mean the very same thing in the Adwaita Vedanta espoused by the Adi Shankaracharya. > In the samyama of this school, there is no outward > stroke (vyutthana). > This is almost a totally meaningless statement, Vaj. 'Samyama' is the combined, simultaneous practice of dharana, dhyana, and samadhi. That's TM you idiot! It's the very same thing in the Hindu Tantras. Samyama is activated subconsciously in non-structured form by any thinking activity and experiencing deep levels of trance induction or meditation. Kashmere Shaivism is a form of transcendental, realistic idealism; a form of absolute monism. According to Kashmere Shaivism, 'Cit' is pure consciousness - the One reality. Kashmir Shaivism resembles Hindu tantra, and both have as their key symbol the Shri Yantra, as I previously stated, which was established by the Adi Shankara in Kashmere and at the four principle mathas - Sringeri, Puri, Jyotir, Dwarka, and at Kanchi. In Kashmere Shaivism, the 'aham' bija mantra is considered to be a non-dual interior space of Lord Shiva, which supports the entire manifestation. 'Aham' in Kashmere Shaivism is the 'Supreme' bija mantra and is identical to Shakti. There should be repetition of it, and meditation on it. Kashmere Shaivism is called 'trika' based on the three fundamental states of consciousness: 1. ja-grat - waking state 2. svapna - dreaming 3. sus.upti - dreamless sleep Turiya is the fourth, which is pure consciousness, which is indescribable.
