In early days on the spiritual journey, what we read in the scriptures of Tantra essentially pointed out to three or trika as:
  1. Para or highest, Shiva or we may say, motionless energy potential, singularity
  2. Para para or intermediate as Shakti or kinetic energy, all that moves
  3. Apara or lowest, the awareness of Jiva, us, this limited earth bound entity

Now, the question is, why do we need Shakti or kundalini as the intermediate, when the goal is Shiva? Why not enter silence in meditation and contemplate on God absolute alone?

We are in duality, Shiva is in singularity and Shakti is both transcendent and immanent and thus the connector between the two realms.

Any thoughts on this?
