Some people, of course, say they're practicing tantra. There are a lot of books on tantric sexual practice in local bookstores. These are usually pretty silly books.

Every person who sees you physically evaluates you and projects energy towards you based upon the way you've dressed.

In the Upanishads they talk about the path of the sun and the path of the moon. The path of the moon is rebirth. The path of the sun leads to self-knowledge, from which there is no return.

The deeper inner teachings are presented to very few because few would understand them. The exoteric teachings are presented to many.

There is a lot of opposition. You will experience it. But the joys that come from the study, more than compensate for the opposition, in my opinion. It's a personal choice.

Tantra works well for people who are engaged in relationships and sexuality. Sex itself is just an action. It's just part of the dream.

To know that these are people who for a moment, in glory, in light, were true warriors, and you had the chance to associate with them, to live with them, to share with them, words and moments of power - this is the nature of spiritual study.
