Let's Talk about Sex - pt. 1

.

Many mystical traditions have some practices that they call Tantric.
Yep, Chinese Daoists, Indian Hindus, and even
European practitioners of certain traditions of Magick
each have sexual practices.


Here in America, especially in Southern California,
there has popped-up something that I like to call Hippy Tantra
but it's often just an excuse for Orgasm-obsession, Polyamory, and
spiritually unproductive silliness.

Although my training touched on all these disciplines, {forgive the pun},
my expertise is in the Buddhist practice of Tantra
and as such I’m most concerned with the Buddha’s goal
of not only teaching his Bodhisattvas the mental yogas of
• Devotion,
• Awareness,
• Love and
• Letting-go;

but also helping them acquire mastery of them
so that they can practice his techniques:
• Spontaneously,
• Habitually,
• Easily and
• Effectively.

And that, my friends, is what the Inner-game of Sexual Tantra
is all about.

Faith is a Trap

.


Do I “know” if George Washington really is the father of my country?
No, I don’t…
but it’s a fun idea that can be empowering to play with.

Do I “know” if Buddha really existed?
No, I don’t…
but isn’t the idea of a flawed man discovering how to become much more than that
fun and empowering?

Do I “know” if Buddha’s teachings are really “true”?
All I know is that when I apply certain teachings I get favorable results.

Could you see the intention to be relaxed yet empowered?

Faith is just a reaction to a fearful outcome
that we hope to avoid.
It leads to rigidity; and as far as I can tell
the ONLY use for rigidity is Tantric sex!

Born of fear, rigidity leads to aggression
which gives birth to suffering;
and who needs that?

Come, let us dispense with the two sided coin of faith and fear
and instead explore the freedom that could come
from the play of possibility and letting go.

For instance, if you fear financial disaster,
rather then feebly striving to “trust” that it will work out…

#1 Bring your fear
into compassion’s path of taking-away everyone’s
financial lack and it’s causes;

#2 Bring your desire for morality, prosperity and safety
into love’s path of sending everyone
those selfsame blessings and their causes and…

#3 Bring what ever remains of your fear
into the path of Buddha’s wisdom of letting-go.

Now that’s spiritually productive!

The Thursday series of weekly webinars will only be offered once every year.

May you and yours be
happy and healthy!
