One Thing alone exists: the Divine, in various permutations … to experience this divinity in and as all things is the goal of practice … The Divine [has] two aspects, the transcendent and the immanent. The transcendent aspect is called Siva and personified as male divinity (God) … Tantrikas understand Siva as pure Consciousness … the immanent aspect of the Divine … is called Sakti and personified as female divinity (Goddess). That is, the entire manifest universe is the Goddess … [However,] Siva and Sakti are actually one, not two.
