Most westerners use the word "Tantra" to cover sacred
and enhanced sexuality. Tantra, as practised in the West,
referred to as "neo-Tantra", borrows from many
traditions including Taoism, Hindu Tantra, Native
American Quodoshka, African, Polynesian, Wiccan,
Christian Gnosticism, etc. Real "Tantra" is a rigorous
spiritual discipline and vast field of study -- the sexual
aspect is a small but important part of it. Mystical
experiences and altered states of consciousness result
from many of the processes, especially the ones dealing
with sexual energy.
Tantricks use the principle of the ritual sublimation of
natural impulses to attain altered states of consciousness.
Tantrik adepts are trained to direct all their energies
toward the conquest of the Eternal. The ritual
satisfaction of lust and the consumption of consecrated meat or liquor are
esoterically significant means of realizing the unity of flesh and spirit, of the
human and the divine. They are not considered sinful acts but, on the contrary,
effective means of salvation. Ritual copulation is, for both partners, a form of
sacralization, tke act being a participation in cosmic and divine processes. The
experience of transcending space and time, of surpassing the phenomenal duality
of spirit and matter, of recovering the primeval unity, the realization of the identity
of God and his Sakti, and of the manifested and unmanifested aspects of the All,
these constitute the very mystery of the Tantra.
