There is one key element that the spiritual traditions of East and West have had in common.
You will find it in the God-worshipping devotional traditions and in the nondual traditions - the nontheistic traditions of Taoism and Buddhism. It is the most important and misunderstood element of the spiritual journey: 'Grace'. Grace is the place of convergence of all the teachings of love. |

The essence of Tantra is simple.
But it has been totally misunderstood.
Tantra is about profound well-being. The end of human suffering.
This is achieved by self-mastery and self-realization.
This occurs either through managing the currents of the life-energies,
or through creating conditions for them to come naturally into balance.
In Tantra, "Masculine" and "Feminine" are used as representations
of the polarity of energies
that together make all of existence possible.

Tantra is about balance,
harmony, and
connectedness to all the elements in existence.
Tantra is about love...
not just human love,
but the all-encompassing love and connectedness that
is the blissful divine nature of existence itself.
Tantra can involve a partner, and can involve sexual ecstasy, but the ultimate goal is 'non-dual bliss'.
The heavenly sexual pleasure associated with Tantra is only a "side-effect" of the practice, it is not the goal.
