Matter 'n Spirit
Evam Vidha Bhairavasya Yavastha Parigeeyate
Saa paraa pararoopena Paradevi Prakeerthitha

Consciousness exists. But how can it be known. By the names and forms which are the manifestation of energy says the Vignana Bhairavba Tantra.
The state of the Bhairava has been described in this manner. The knowledge of the consciousness is possible through the mind which is Prakriti - nature. We call nature as the mother - Mother Earth, the rivers are given feminine names. We are born out of this combination of consciousness and energy - Purusha and Prakriti. It is through the mother - prakriti, we are introduced to the father Purusha. Whether masculine, feminine, neuter or inert, all creatures of nature are born out of this Supreme consciousness. It is they who show to us the existence of this consciousness.

Swahilya,
Could not recognize you in this photo!I like the way you have explained how we can know and experience Consciousness. Everything is Consciousness, and this way, even at a gross level, we are able to comprehend it.I am enjoying these slokas.
Meena.
