This book - "The Triadic Heart of Shiva" is a commentary on Abhinavagupta's writings on the most esoteric wisdom traditions of awakening to our true nature. It outlines the most esoteric practice of seeing the very center of our being as connected to all dimensions of reality. And through entering our heart, with an open expansive attitude, with love, we can find ourselves at the heart of all sacred places, and energies.
Here's an essential direct translation from the original sanskrit from about 800 years ago, an excerpt expressing the vision of one who has awakened to the infinite inside of their own being:
"My Heart, which is composed of the emission of the quivering flashing condition of the union of the Mother and Father, whose body is full, which generates that concealed light which has five faces, producing the great and quite new manifestation, which is the abode of the stainless manifesting energies, because of its quivering and throbbing, is the supreme immortal group (kula). Within whom all this universe appears, appearing as the external luminous projection during the process of manifestation. Situated in the Supreme, which is trembling, which is immovable, to Her I bow down, the one Goddess who is the perception of one's own Self. She, who when placed in the Heart, causes to appear the triad which consists of the man, the power and Siva. I make obeisance to Her, who is the Supreme, the unequalled light of the Self, who is splendorous illumination and astonishment. Glory to the One of priceless greatness, who rules the hosts of liberated beings, the blessed primordial teacher, Sambhu, the benevolent One, Sri Kantha, the supreme Lord."
