No, as with many of your posts, you're simply incorrect. Kashmir Shaivism is a nondual path and therefore doesn't primarily recommend dualistic styles of meditation (meditation on an object, i.e. with alambana). Mantra style meditation is for those who can't grok the nondual. Dualistic styles of meditation will always produce a dualistic fruit (e.g. "CC").
