Source: Google Books: ManthanabhairavatantramCittacetya (चित्तचेत्य) refers to “thought and its object”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, [while expounding Kaula and the Nine Kaulas]—“I praise Kaula without defects and free of the utterance of Mantra. Devoid of Navātman, subtle, the expander of thought and its object (cittacetya-vikāsin), free of the Wheels and Foundations, I praise Kaula, (the transcendent beyond) the purview of the senses”.
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.
