Enlightenment -Tantra Yoga for Post-Modernity

'Enlightenment' means literally being full of Light. This book is about enlightenment, what it is and how to achieve it. I treat enlightenment here as an actual visceral, psychic experience, as a cosmic orgasm of short duration much like its analogous physical counterpart. Enlightenment is also seen here as an out of body experience through a wormhole, for example, into parallel dimensions. Places where we get a glimpse of other realities while we are still alive, outside the 'box' in which we are habituated. Tantra has to do with utilizing the physical body as a vehicle for enlightenment and liberation as opposed to an exercise in mindfulness for example. Many people mistakenly believe that Tantra is only about sex but sexual practice in Tantra is a minor footnote in Tantrism and is not the subject of this book. 'Samana' (renunciation) and 'Ahimsa,' (doing no harm) are the two main pillars in Buddhism, Hinduism and many other religious traditions. Unfortunately, 'Samana' renunciation has been so distorted and misconstrued that it has led to the vilification and ultimately the destruction of Nature that we are facing as a species across the planet. The reference to 'Post Modernity' has to do with the fact that we live in our time and that we cannot pretend to live in the medieval worlds that gave birth to 'Tantra' in the first place. Therefore we need to interpret those traditions and teachings in light of what we know of the world we actually live in. I am not a scientist, but many of the themes I explore in this work are analogous to what is going on in the world around us and I therefore draw parallels and comparisons as a result of which some may accuse me of being pseudo-scientific. I acknowledge the criticism in advance, but I make no apologies. My observations and experiences are empirical in nature and in some cases extremely hard to prove, if at all possible.
