In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: bhagavadgitausa.com: Kashmir SaivismIsvara Tattva: This (Idam) has become a distinct picture. Idam is explicit and unambiguous. Then there is a sudden feeling of awareness of the presence of This (Idam). It is like a newborn baby brought into home from the hospital. Suddenly everyone notices the baby (Idam); Idam becomes the cynosure and thus the polarity of subject-object experience reverses and becomes object-subject, simply by newness of Idam: Idam-Aham configuration. This is the Unmesa (opening-blossoming) experience of the universe (baby). This new polarity spends itself and the I-ness and This-ness become equal--Experiencer and the experienced; subject and object are coequal. Sadasiva and Isvara Tattvas are like OFF and ON switches. Isvara experiencing THIS is called Mantresvara. In this state as the soul ascends, there is a feeling of Aham, full of consciousness, bliss, will, knowledge, and action. Equality of Aham and Idam is present here. I am the universe. This is where the soul unites with Siva on its upward move. Here the individual self feels the universe is in the Self.
Shaiva (शैव, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.
