    OM MANI PADME HUM hey stalk you read my mind. i was going to say of course. i have a tattoo of the left hand path over my heart and it also is the esoteric Buddhist symbol for Nirvana. It is a backwards swastika, i made it tribal so it would be unique.

    ah that sounds lovely.

    Tantra as
    universal consciousness

    THINK ABOUT IT

    "remember
    you are the buddha
    return to the source"

    Tantrics are people who are interested in yoga, but are also horny.

    I suppose its better than lighting candles and waving incence.

    And just about as effective too.

    xexon i thought you knew more than that about Eastern philosophy. Tantra is not just tantric sex, that part makes up less than 1% of tantra. Tantra means technique like a yogic practice. Left hand path does use tantric sex but that is a lower form. Its better to channel sexual energy without having sex and just using your mind so you are not dependent on a partner. It does have morally questionable practices like taking drugs and what not but that is all about transcending conditioned values and using any and all practices to find what suits you the best. i personally think the left hand path is cheating but not in a bad way, it just helps you along the path quicker. im sure you have takin acid and stuff to expand your mind.

    Don't you see xexon that it isn't that actual act of lighting incense or candles that is significant, but the inner consciousness behind the action?

    If it expresses an aspiration to move into communion with the divine, then what's the problem?

    this is a very simple, very potent question that illuminates much.

    I light candles for my emissary.

    I smell incense when it's around.
