C♂ncept of C♀nsorts

Thank you Dan Brown for sweeping the path for me :-)

There exist many entities in this big universal soup. But surprisingly most of these entities exist in two polarities: Either Positive or Negative, Bright stars or Black Holes, Males or Females, Matter or Antimatter (rare I understand) and so on. The tendency of each of the polarity is to search for the other, reach the other and ultimately couple together to achieve the state of completeness. Until then there is thirst, incompleteness and chaos. Short-circuit the two polarities and the end.

The Siva-Shakti form fascinates me. The familiar Ardhanareshwara form is a good (visual) representation of this Siva-Shakti union. It is the form that shows one half as Shiva, the male principle, and other half as Parvati, the female principle. Each half in the divided states supports, inspires, tickles, irritates, complements and supplements the other in a sort of playfulness. The union brings the bliss and stillness in a sort of everlasting orgasm. In Hinduism, the concept is easily acceptable by any common man because of the way Hinduism loads and codes the answers to the riddles of universe with deities, symbolism and myths. In Hinduism most (if not all) in the pantheon of gods have one or more ‘consorts’. Note: They were not wives but 'consorts'. Marriages are for the society and unnatural :-)

In polytheistic pantheon gods-goddesses combinations existed across cultures like with the Egyptians (Isis-Osiris), Greek (Adonis-Aphrodite) and more.

Maybe the concept is trying to show that the merge of the TWO into ONE is the way. The Absolute transcends polarities.
