"Oh Lord, how fruitful can this
neuter Brahman be without the
beautiful female of Your devotion
which makes of You a person?"
--Spandanirnaya
He stands tall on one arched foot,
left leg crossing the right--
His pedestal, the flaxen pasture,
spreads for miles in every direction,
His arms are raised high, wide and
lost to the pale sky. His radiant hair
stands on end, shimmering toward heaven.
He is erect, His moistened linga
poised between earth and sky--
held in Her adoring kiss. She is
kneeling, breasts against His shining
thigh, arms thrust behind, palms open,
quivering in ecstasy, craving neither
heaven nor earth, only Him,
warm and full in her heated palate--
drunk with Him, drowning in Him,
surrendering through Her willowy hair
the gnostic seed to the golden soil--
Her silver Voice sings of heaven,
His golden Dance furrows the musky earth,
She, the bovine ground of His infinite Horizon,
He, the quickening breath of Her eternal Song.

Kundalini Tantra is a path of self recognition.
The operating principle for this tantra yoga is relatively
simple. This principle was succinctly stated in the first
verse of the Siva Sutras:
"Universal consciousness is one's own nature."
All that is, is one's own self. No part of one's own self is not real.
The 'real' is Sakti, universal energy. In the tradition of Kashmir Saivism,
sakti is also called, spanda, the universal vibration of manifest reality.
The Real is manifest Awareness. This is Siva.
Pure Awareness recognizing itself as absolute Spanda is inherently erotic.
The universe that is one's own nature is the sensual, copulative
friction of Siva and Sakti, of absolute Awareness of pure Energy.
The path of Kundalini tantra is recognizing that one's own consciousness is
inherently sensual--a sensuality that is sometimes characterized as bliss.
When one recognizes one's self everywhere and in all manifest reality,
the difference between one's self as an individual separate from
other beings disappears. One lives in the de-light-full realization that
being alive means being erotically aware of the dynamic essence of
one's own Universal Body.
The first working principle of Kundalini Tantra is surrender.
Surrender is an action with a specific vibratory frequency.
When muscles are stretched in a yoga posture, a discomfort, a tension, ensues. One may begin to discover the specific frequency of surrender by isolating this sensation of discomfort, by allowing that isolated sensation to become the sole focus of one's awareness. To accomplish this, one must release all bodily tension surrounding the region being stressed. One must allow use one's breath to breathe into and out from the posture until, after some training, one can comfortably pause the breath and experience this
stretching sensation to the fullest degree. When the breath is paused, and the mind is still and aware only of the physical sensation of the stretch, the erotic frequency of surrender is recognized. In time, one may sufficiently surrender to experience in the sensation of one's body, the ground of one's undifferentiated, universal nature.
Kundalini tantra is the path of awakening to the recognition of one's universal nature through the sensation of one's absolute awareness. One's own senses are the means for discovering one's identity as absolute awareness of universal sensation.
While one may begin one's adventure of self recognition by doing yoga postures or by withdrawing attention in the activity of meditation, one's eventual discovery will be a life lived in the full realization that the light which illumines all things everywhere is the light of one's own Universal Personality.
One will recognize that the trees and leaves and the neighbor's yapping dog are all the activity of one's creatively dynamic nature. One will experience the bark of the trees as one's own skin, the fluttering of leaves as intimately as one's thoughts, the shrill yap of the neighbor dog as familiarly as the feel of one's hand in a glove, or foot in a shoe.
One will recognize that one hides from one's self in order to experience the blissful, erotic friction of one's own dynamic Self-discovery.
