The Pull of Grace

Shakti and Shiva are Ultimately the Same

A question is asked about comparing terms in Kashmir Shaivism and non-duality. Rupert responds that the activity of consciousness is Shakti, which is like the movie, while Shiva is the screen. They're not really separate – the movie is pervaded by the screen. There is no separation; they are the same, but you can talk about the movie or the screen separately. Shiva in motion is Shakti, Shakti at rest is Shiva.
