Pratyabhijna philosophy

Pratyabhijna philosophy is a part of Kashmir Shaivism that emphasizes self-recognition. It teaches that the true nature of reality and ourselves is divine consciousness, already present within us. Our misconceptions or forgetfulness of this divine essence create illusions and suffering. The path involves awakening to this innate divinity through self-awareness, intuition, and spiritual practices, recognizing that we are inherently divine beings. Essentially, it's about re-remembering our true nature, seeing the divine in everything, and realizing that liberation comes from this direct, experiential knowledge of our own innate essence.
