Tantric Zen is not being kinky; nor is it being conservative and austere. It is eclectic. It is a real mixture of all things.

We live inside our mind. That's all there is. Everything that you experience is not external, it's internal. All your experiences are predicated upon your awareness field.

At the moment of birth you are the product of everything that has occurred in every lifetime you've had.

You can summon up power from past lives and bring them into this life. That can give you a boost into the next state of mind or further up.

The awareness of place, space, or condition is not liberation. You can't say what it is, but you can sure say what it isn't.
