  • Dynamic Manifestations of Eternal Divinity

    David P LawrenceCHAPTEROxford Handbook of Tantric Studies2023

    This chapter examines precursors and basic features of late Kashmiri, nondual Śaiva theories, practices, and experiences regarding the emanation and contemplative reabsorption of time. The Śaiva approach exemplifies a distinctive grouping within the broader range of efforts to conquer time. Supported by arguments that may be described as henological and potentialist, the Śaivas endeavor to subsume, explanatorily and contemplatively, mundane, sequ…
