Tantra

Mindlessness isn’t tantric, aimlessness isn’t tantric, but pain, pleasure, bliss and void, these are tantric. Tantra is Gnostic, so the way is valid. It can be broadened perhaps by looking at tradition, but the way of tantra is experiential. Tantra deals with the passions. One of the first lessons of tantra; your unity is not your unity. It is unity between you and the all. You are not alone. The way starts in the root. Root and crown are one in unity. You are flesh. In tantra the flesh isn’t evil. It’s a mirror of spirit. Flesh is a mirror to spirit in tantra, but you don’t experience that by rejecting any portion of your energies.

What is seen when you look at all this? A more sacred communion I have never known.

“The Tantric way is open to all the richness of human nature, which it accepts without a single restriction. It is probably the only spiritual path that excludes nothing and no one, and, in this way, it corresponds to the deep aspirations of men and women today.” Daniel Odier, Tantric Quest: An Encounter with Absolute Love, Page: 22
