Interested in learning more about Tantra? Live in New England? Come join like-minded people as we read and discuss "Desire: The Tantric Path to Awakening" by Daniel Odier. No need to order the book. No marketing allowed. Light snacks provided. PM me for directions/parking.
Here are some of my favorite passages from the first 6 chapters we discussed last time:
“What men and women seek today is a path that reintegrates these opposites <hedonism and="" spirituality=""> with genuine love and acceptance of all the richness that each human being carries within.” Chapter 1
“We want to leave behind our ancestral guilt and accept the body wholly: It is our only door to infinite reality.” Chapter 2
“If we stop delegating power, however, we liberate ourselves from the absurd expectation that we will be liberated by others.” Chapter 3
“Since then, it is said in Tantrism that woman represents power and that man incarnates as the capacity for wonder, for marvel.” Chapter 4
“Even if we are not obsessed by the divine - which ultimately is but an image of our absolute Self - we find through this quest that the unity we long for is already present within us.” Chapter 5
“It <conscious breathing=""> is thus no longer a practice but a way in which to savor life and our sensorality more fully, and this is the basis of all the subsequent practice.” Chapter 6
