Kashmir Shaivism

[PoetPhilosopher]

I've decided to drop the title "New Age Hindu" for myself and decided to be more specific and describe myself as subscribing to the esoteric school of thought of Kashmir Shaivism but with some Left Hand Path ideas / a bit of a Left Hand Path inclination:

Kashmir Shaivism - Wikipedia

None of my beliefs have actually changed. I feel I no longer have to use the term New Age either. Because Kashmir Shaivism covers all my New Age-y beliefs on Consciousness and reality as part of its philosophies. I wasn't expecting it this soon, but I feel I have achieved a level of enlightenment via great meditation and some hard work resulting in the recognition of Shiva's existence in my soul.

My beloved Lord Shiva, I dedicate these songs to you, for opening my eyes to unity from indifference :

Dr. Jean Klein, the French sage, medical doctor and teacher of nonduality was a practitioner of Kashmir Shaivism, and used to refer to it in his teachings. Reading them, I understood that it is a credible and potent spiritual practice.

Hoping to read any interesting insights you may have had in its practice.

Good luck to you. May Lord Shiva, along with Mother Parvati, Ganesha and Kartikeya along with sisters-in-law (Riddhi-siddhi and Devasena-Valli) bless you. I do not know much about (kashmir Shaivism), but Advaita, I think, is not very far from it.

Yes, the first sentence of the article states that it's a nondualist tradition.

There are some differences, but you'll have to read carefully to spot them. In Kashmir Shaivism, I do not believe the world is considered illusory, for example. Reality is a divine play in this school of thought, though with Advaita, it can be considered so as well.

Nice choice.
In Ananda Marga Tantra-Yoga the world is also not considered as illusiory (absolute Monism) but rather as a temporary (relative) reality projected from within the Supreme Consciousness (Shiva) with the help of Prakrti (Shakti). Hence it is described as Nondualistic-Dualistic-Nondualism.

I hope Kashmir Shaivism will give you spiritual fulfillment.
