The aims of this Blog

This is a new blog to continue my work on spreading the word about the deeper truths available behind the sexy propaganda used by many well-meaning practitioners of Tantra to promote it. The focus on the sexual aspects of Tantra is important but partial. As we go along you'll see that there are profound opportunities for depth that are missed by many because they focus on Tantra as a remedy for sexual boredom, sexual dysfunction, and/or sexual ignorance. This is not a bad thing because people should understand their sexuality if they are to be whole but it is one Chakra and there are many more. Some will be surprised when I say that our modern society and its politics are essentially Tantric because of their focus on desire as it central motivation and emotional organizational force as opposed to fear which is primary in other historical and social moments. And in a truly Tantric way I will say that this is both good and bad.

So here are my aims:

First, and foremost, it is about spreading the word about the deeper secrets and understandings at the core of Tantra as a personal and spiritual development path.

Secondly, I seek to demonstrate that there is more to Tantra than sacred sex, although it is important. Tantra is about the inner life as much as it is about our relationships. In fact Tantra is very important and useful for singles. All our relationships are dependent
on how we treat ourselves, and are expressions of our inner lives - our relationships with ourselves.

Thirdly, I wish to show that Tantra offers very practical contributions to modern living, whether or not you believe in the Goddess/God, and without necessarily talking about sex at all. Tantra offers insight into how our state of mind/being/body affects our
lives. It uses marriage as a metaphor for all relationships, eg a corporation can be thought of as a type of marriage - a marriage is an aggregate identity made up of smaller whole identities who work together for individual and mutual benefit and for the whole.

Fourthly, I want you to know what is going on, in the development of our websites and the details of the workshops on offer. This includes your events and thoughts too. So if you would like to tell us about services you offer and events coming up anything related to personal development, spirituality and the arts (including performance) from any path, that will educate and enlighten ;). Articles and essays about your understandings and thoughts about Tantra are also be welcome. I will be keeping posts down to about
once a week. Use the comments to point to your own posts... and I'll come n say "g'day", as we say here, in what is actually the top of the world - the land of Oz.
