Here is a sampling of what we've talked about so far ....

“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

"It is upon this central observation [undifferentiated unity] that the whole flexible and spherical structure of Kashmiri Shaivism is built." Chapter 7

"For them [Kashmiri masters], a human being naturally recovers his unity when he is touched deeply - that is, when contact is no longer a sexual strategy." Chapter 8

"For tantrikas, consciousness does not proceed from activity; on the contrary, it is activity that flows from consciousness." Chapter 9

"In order to arrive at this profound consciousness, it is indispensable that our instrument, the body, be perfectly in tune, and this is where the whole issue of our sensorality comes in. Chapter 10

"Tantric yoga proposes that we change our perspective on desire in order to improve our perceptions and our sense of taste.  While drinking a glass of water, for example, if we believe that this water desires us, we will have an experience of consciousness; we will feel the water penetrate into us and cross through us." Chapter 11
