I have this idea which has been in the back of my mind, and I want to try it out. This is just a small intro, and there aren't any characters yet. Pls let me know what you think. More will come soon...
The motivating force behind life is the power of desire. The Tantric tradition in Hinduism accepts desire as the prime motivating force of the universe, so it does not ask its' aspirants to renounce desire. Many other spiritual sciences advise the avoidance of desire, which they claim leads to bondage and is an obstacle to achieving higher consciousness. They try to overcome desire through ascetism. Yet one is left with the paradox that to achieve desirelessness, one must have a strong desire to be without desire. But there is a way to help satisfy desires – by creating a perfect union.
In the Tantric tradition, it is also believed that the universe was created and is sustained by two opposite yet fundamental forces, which are permanently in a perfect, indestructible union. There is the male or static principle, and the female or dynamic principle. Accordingly, Shiva (the masculine principle) represents the constitutive elements of the universe, while Shakti (the feminine principle) is the dynamic potency, which makes these elements come to life and act.
Thus, every male principle needs his Shakti - his energy and power. And Shakti is inseparable from the one who beholds her, Shiva.
This story is about a woman's journey, through her eyes, where she unexpectedly finds her Shiva.
