In Hinduism
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramCinnātha (चिन्नाथ) refers to the “lord of consciousness” according to Abhinava’s Tantrāloka.—[...] Bhairava is the principle beyond the pure transcendence of Śiva. He is the Inexplicable which from the point of view of our limited knowledge—i.e. understanding, experience and consciousness—is in this sense beyond him but assumes the status of deity for the purpose of instruction. Anuttara / Bhairava is the Lord of Consciousness (cinnātha), the pure perfectly translucent mirror within which all manifestation shines reflected. All is the Divine Light of the Absolute—Anuttara—which shines perpetually; there is nothing else and nothing else has ever or will take place. This is the highest reality that has ‘no’—an—‘higher’—uttara reality beyond it. It is also ‘no’—an—‘means’—upāya.
Shakta (शाक्त, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
