Yes to the above. Kashmir/Trika Shaivite tradition is an extremely close relative to Vajrayana Buddhism. Probably the closest tradition, in many ways, closer even than other Buddhist schools. That might be a controversial statement to some, but it should not be.

But one •structural• difference between Vajrayana and Trika is that there is no “hinayana” in Trika. There are dualist antecedents in Trika, going back to the first draft of the Yoga Sutras, but it’s not organized in vehicles. Trika is “ekayana” all the way, structurally

Ekayana - one vehicle. You could also say ekamarga, one path

At some point I might be able to bait
@meaningness to come over and say that Trika is eternalist (in his very bang-on and accurate nihilist-eternalist schema) but I don’t think he’s right. I think Trika philosophy is up there with Vajrayana for its complexity, richness...2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

I know so little about non-Buddhist tantra that I wouldn’t want to venture any opinion.

I’ve think the most important distinction I’d want to promulgate: Trika shaivism /= advaita vedanta You might appreciate a scholarly article I shared with

Also, I’m appreciative of your work on meaningness, vividness, approaching Aro. High quality writing! And your excavations/explorations of Kegan

Any advice for someone who wants to operate regularly from/ embody in the world Kegan’s stage 5...for those who don’t come from heavy duty STEM backgrounds?

It’s still an open question and I’m looking forward to more discussion & writing about it.
@Malcolm_Ocean really groks it I think & I would look to him for resources/ideas. Also@ssica3003 same, she has written multiple blog posts & some threads on her 4-5 experience.1 reply 0 retweets 4 likes -

My advice would mostly be to find some people who seem themselves to be embodying K5 & learn from being in close contact with them. But then again, that's something I only achieved by accident, in the sense that I'd never heard of Kegan prior to getting involved with such people!

Possibly relevant, fwiw [not making a strong recommendation here, but it seems like a fairly sensible list]: https://antoinette555.files.wordpress.com/2017/07/rooke-organisation-transformation-strategist-alchemist-amended-2001.pdf …pic.twitter.com/cS1On4tGzf
