Fig. 6 The all-embracing whole of Reality :
Reality divided as the sexual pair, Shiva and Shakti, within both man amd world, So deeply joined they are anaware of their differences and beyond Time.
The sexual pair became aware of their distinction.
'The Female objective separates join the male subject'
the female ‘objective' performs Her dance of illusion, persuading the male subject'he is not one but many, and generating from Her womb the world of multiplied objects in whai seems to be a sequence in time.
Subjects' perceive a differentiated reality, seeming to be composed of separate particles ol objective fact, and live lives lire lires thai seem to be extended lives in time.
