Facing the Naked Truth

Tantra is the spiritual art of love. To connect matter with the spirit. It is the experience in which you feel that love does not stop at the man you feel attracted to but it is contained in all people, in all the beauty of the Earth and in all the life.

Tantra does not deny – it alchemizes and integrates the whole of life, exploring its sacred thread and bringing it to light. Therefore, although it is centuries old, it always remains alive, perfectly suited for our times.

This ancient spiritual tradition embraces everything with endless compassion and unconditional love. Tantra is not a religion, it is not a set of sexual techniques. It is a holistic path of elevation that raises all the barriers for man to become free.

The lucid beatitude of total voluptuousness

Tantra guides us towards self-knowledge in a profound way, with everything we represent. It is the path of energy, not of asceticism. Of presence, not of retreat from the world. The kind of presence that helps us discover that the world is a permanent magic and that we can enjoy everything when we open our heart completely.

Have you ever heard that Tantra is sexual libertinage?  People talk all sorts, but Tantra is not about sex. From its point of view sexuality is just a ladder that helps us to go beyond sensual pleasures, living them at an incandescent intensity, with the ecstatic state similar to the one the great mystics attain through their prayer.

Tantra shows us how to achieve this without repressing, without giving up, but also without losing ourselves in it as in a drug. It shows how we can live the lucid bliss of total voluptuousness, how to cross the ocean always on the surface, always on the top of gigantic waves, as a surfer who becomes the ocean.

A path of balance

Tantra and its methods teach us that we are in the possession of a colossal energy – our own sexual potential. It gives us a map to discover it and we can use at its true value.

Tantra is the short way to reconnect with what is divine within us and the chance to rediscover the communion with what surrounds us. It’s a way of balance. And in spite of defamatory prejudices, the tantric tradition makes the quantum leap to the sacred perspective on our own sensuality and reveals the kind of eroticism that makes us vibrate on a cosmic frequency.

Why is tantric initiation needed today?

Tantra is a science of the existence. It’s an art of living. A complete one in which no aspect of life is lacking, no aspect of man is neglected or wronged.

The word Tantra means “network” or “fabric” in Sanskrit, and tantric methods even put man in harmony with himself and with the universe, confirming the view of quantum physics that all things intertwine and communicate with each other.

Tantra teaches that we are complete when all the parts of our being are in consonance. It assures us that this is the only possibility for us to find our inner unity and discover our true place in the geometry of the cosmos.

Tantra and sexuality?

Yes, sexuality is an important theme of Tantra. But it is not the most important one. The Western public is misinformed because many presentations prefer to put sexuality at the forefront.

What is the reason? Simple: sex is selling. And the messages that relate to it have invaded public space and are repeated until obsession, cunningly influencing people’s minds.

However, we are not freer than before as sexuality is concerned, we are just more libertine. We are not more fulfilled through the sexuality encouraged, educated, cultivated by our present day society, we are just greedier to consume physical pleasure. More and more hungry for a sexuality that resembles processed food poisoned by artificial substances.

The truth is that we need the tantric perspective when talking about our life as a whole. And, just as much, we need this magnificent magnifying glass when looking at our sexuality.

Why? Because we want to regain the control over our existence, too stressful, too hasty, too ungenerous with rewards. We want to find a way of deep joy. Of the inner flourishing and true spiritual fulfillment.

    I am wondering if monogamous marriage is an institution in tantra

      Tantra itself is practised worldwide by believers of monogamous or polyamorous people, this actually does not affect its spiritual principles, which remain the same for all. Such principles are that a love relationship should be based on mutual love, respect, honesty, transfiguration and perfect amorous erotic continence in order to be able to apply the wisdom of Tantra to our own life. Whether people choose to love one lover or many, depends on their capacity to offer love to one or more people. It is difficult to judge the choices of someone who is capable of offering more than we are capable of offering, as we can only jude them with our measure that actually doesn’t apply to them.
