𝐒𝐨 𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐓𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐞𝐧?⁠ ⁠ Tantra is a living tradition that views the world as an expression of the Divine. It’s a non-monastic vision which embraces every moment and aspect of our life as a way to reveal our true nature. For me, tantric spirituality is the most relevant vehicle to find purpose and direction in my life. In this path, we receive tools to deal with every aspect of our being: physical, mental/emotional and transcendental. We incorporate practices to revive and strengthen the body, tools to become aware and move our energy and pointers to lead us Beyond and discover our true essence. In that way, there is no stone left unturned. There are no taboos and holy cows. ⁠ The tantric man does business and makes money. He enjoys food and the pleasures of this world. He’s engaged in relationships, family, and sexuality, and he invests time to enjoy and master them all.⁠ What makes Tantra so unique is the underlying vision behind all of those actions. An attitude which is pro-life: Seeing every moment, sensation, desire & experience as nothing else but the expression of God and an opportunity to reveal that Essence as who you truly are.⁠ ⁠ It’s with this inspiration that I’ve created The Tantric Man Online Program as a 3 month live program for men who are interested in learning esoteric tantric practices that work with the instrumentalization of sexuality for the purpose of spiritual awakening and growth.⁠ ⁠ 𝘍𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘰 & 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘯𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘭 𝘨𝘰 𝘵𝘰:⁠ https://www.tantric-life.com/the-tantric-man-online-course/⁠ https://www.instagram.com/p/COO3lbPBmoP/?igshid=1di776pwyk7s1

No tree, it is said, can grow to heaven unless its roots reach down to hell. ~ Carl Jung Embodied spirituality reflects the wisdom of the lotus flower, with its roots in the mud, and its crown opening to the heavens. Not only that in order to be whole and integrally awaken, once needs to integrate The Shadow, and embrace all aspects of the personality, energy, and existence, but one should also embrace hell, in all of its pains and horrors. Not in order to perpetuate misery, or anything like that, but in order to recognize that there is a gift, and wisdom in the pain, and struggle that we endure throughout our existence. It will be wonderful if we could live in a utopian world, where there is no need to struggle, where humans grow, and mature by inspiration and good will alone, to better themselves and the world around them. However it seems, that pain and suffering defined us in the most beautiful and beneficial ways. Our struggles gives us a sense of depth and insight, they allow us to become more wise, and truly compassionate. We tend to understand others, and care more deeply after we know the pain of existence, and the challenges that life can bring. It is by going through those struggles, getting scarred and even a bit traumatized in the process, that we mature, and grow. It is through our struggles that life carves us like a carpenter, or a potter, and gives us our unique shape as we come out, hopefully triumphing, through the other side. Yes, pick moments, joy, ambition, and love also have a great part to play in this journey. However still, the depth of our realization, embodiment, and humanity, comes from the roots that we lay in the ground, which interns allow us to soar through the heavens. In that way, one learns not to reject or runaway from suffering, rather embrace the darkness to find the light. 🌟 (at Koh Phangan) https://www.instagram.com/p/COKkzQhhMAG/?igshid=1ug9veexsegbn

- - - The Paradox of Spirituality - - - "The paradox of education is precisely this - that as one begins to become conscious one begins to examine the society in which he is being educated." ~ James Baldwin I have to admit that I hate that fact, if only just because it is absolutely true. This element tends to put us in a very difficult predicament whenever we are genuinely committed, and interested to go deeper in whatever it is that we do. When it comes to spiritual practice, as your practice and intellectual understanding both gets deeper, the teachings seems to turn on themselves. Your embodied investigation and greater sense of wisdom that have come due to the practice starts to point out the flaws and the limitation within the system that you have been practicing. Then, you are eventually faced with a choice: to conform to the teachings and culture that you have received up until now, ignoring your deeper insight, or speak up, make a stand and acknowledge that something is missing, that some things just do not add up. In the first choice, you ignore the wisdom of your heart, and this new level of understanding that is being presented to you. You get to keep your feeling of belonging, and being a part of the group, but you pay the price that your spiritual growth and understanding will stagnate from this point onward. In the second option, you're most probably to lose your community, and there is painful sense of loneliness when you choose to go beyond the limitations of the cultural structure which is brought you up until this point. You also take the risk that your evaluation is wrong, and that you're might be doing a horrible mistake. But this is the risks that all great explorers and brave souls mast take. Because, if you are right, there is a chance that you will discover a new level of depth, something that will open your heart in ways that you cannot even fathom, and in turn will transform Humanity forever.

A great freedom is to be found when we allow ourselves to witness existence with a sense of marvel. The notion that somehow we can truly understand it all intellectually , and that at some point because of that intellectual understanding things will make sense and we will feel somehow safe or complete, is the very notion that brings us the feelings of disconnection, fear and alienation. There's a lot to be said in the name of science and reason, and by all means, the mind and the intellect are remarkable faculties, which in themselves are an expression and reflection of the Divine consciousness. And as much as it is important to make our arguments and understanding of reality as coherent and logical as they can be, it is as important to have a sense of magic and wonder in our lives. It is that wonder which opens our hearts, and allows us to be filled with awe as we see are self's as part of this universe.⁠ ⁠ Big Mind Big Heart - Integral Awakening⁠ ⁠ “It is enough for me to contemplate the mystery of conscious life perpetuating itself through all eternity, to reflect upon the marvelous structure of the universe which we dimly perceive, and to try humbly to comprehend an infinitesimal part of the intelligence manifested in nature.”⁠ ~ Albert Einstein https://www.instagram.com/p/CNr6rm6BhI_/?igshid=1r0x63s0w4kxe

Some people know that they know, and some people don't know that they don't know. The worst ignorance is to think that you know while you actually do not know. the wise is the one who knows what he knows and know what he doesn't know. So the question remains, in the areas that you think that you know, how to know what you really know, and know what you don't know? "Those who are already wise no longer love wisdom (philosophein), whether they are gods or men. Neither do those who are so ignorant that they are bad, for no bad and stupid person loves wisdom. There remains only those who have this bad thing, ignorance, but have not yet been made ignorant and stupid by it. They are conscious of not knowing what they don’t know."

Recognizes that you're more than just your body, mind, and feelings.⁠ ⁠ Abiding in your own true nature, "self"-acceptance and love, finding a mature way to embrace the ego while transcending the exclusive identification with it.⁠ ⁠ Recognize that the entire universe is consciousness-energy and that the phenomenal world is the way that your mind is interpreting interacting waves of consciousness-energy.⁠ ⁠ Being one with the light of awareness, emerging from the ground of all being, an infinite depth beyond space and time which could not even be described as an experience, and that all rising phenomena is merely a thin layer on this bottomless ocean of being.⁠ ⁠ And remember, Enlightenment is just the beginning!

“At heart most men are as terrified of women's infinite sexualcapacity as they are fascinated by it. The general effect on men isto make them feel sexually insecure and causes them to attempt tocompensate with some other strength. Sexual insecurity may bethe primary reason men have sought physical, political, financial,intellectual, and religious advantage over woman.” ― Mantak Chia I don't think that men's insecurities in the face of infinite potential energy, Shakti, which is embodied in the form of a woman, is the primary reason men have sought out power in different forms. However, I can definitely relate to this feeling of powerlessness while facing the ultimate power of manifestation. Around the world we already know quite a lot about male sexuality, the externality of it, the desire for variety, and the most cliche argument that we hear within relationships where men usually want to have more sex than their female counterparts. But now, as the 21st century progressed we are gradually opening up the Pandora box which is female sexuality. When I say Pandora box here, I do not mean anything wrong or bad, rather as something which is so powerful that we cannot even start to comprehend, both as a men and as a culture, what we are dealing with. Personally, I have been blessed, for one reason or another, with the presence of such powerful and sexually liberated women in my life, and I have to admit, it is simultaneously invigorating and totally terrifying. It didn't matter what I had done or accomplished in my life as a man: money, status, physical strength, aligning my life with the spiritual path and virtues, and even mastering my sexual energy in and out of the bedroom, having hard erections and fucking her open to God, even then after the 50th orgasm, if she want it she can smash me in a second. However, all of that is because.... Continues in comments section --> ⤵️ (at Thailand) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNZgnQ6Bn9Y/?igshid=fjrnw1fddt9a

One must rise by what one falls⁠ ⁠ As much as you might hate it, our biggest challenges, our addictions and poisons, the things that seemingly seek to destroy us, hold within them the nectar of awakening.⁠ ⁠ The profound teachings of existence, is that beauty can be found in the midst of suffering, and the brightest light always shines in the heart of the darkness. Awakening by wisdom we recognizing the innate light of awareness, which is shimmering from the core of existence in every atom and molecule of this universe, and all is being transformed.⁠ ⁠ As long as we "push against" and deny, we are still bound by ignorance, and suffering. But the moment that we learn to lean into the Shadow and embrace our pain or our seeming adversary, we transform the poison into nectar, and awaken to the loving unity of life. 🌸⁠ (at Koh Phangan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNKGYeOhk4i/?igshid=1mnliyoj8udyu

"Beauty will save the world" ✨🌸⁠ A⁠ ⁠ “If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?⁠ ⁠ During the life of any heart this line keeps changing place; sometimes it is squeezed one way by exuberant evil and sometimes it shifts to allow enough space for good to flourish. One and the same human being is, at various ages, under various circumstances, a totally different human being. At times he is close to being a devil, at times to sainthood. But his name doesn't change, and to that name we ascribe the whole lot, good and evil."⁠ ⁠ ― Alexander Solzhenitsyn⁠ ⁠ Know thyself!⁠ https://www.instagram.com/p/CEwYeCDhe7u/?igshid=1bdkv5ulmxek0

The true definition & essence of Maya (illusion), is not seeing energy & the manifest world as nothing else but Divine Consciousness or Spirits in action. https://www.instagram.com/p/CErBMbohCDb/?igshid=ebfvpojv0ksk

The "illusion" of separation is nothing other than the creative expression of your own awareness, which willingly conceals itself from itself in an act of creative outpouring, and in the same way it finds a thrill in recovering itself. ⁠ ⁠ That is Spanda, the movement outward and in, the throb of awareness, the quiver in the heart of it all.⁠ (at Koh Phanang) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEeXdnPhbsY/?igshid=1a58qklje6onf

[bodhi108]

You are the light of the world. You are the consciousness that illuminates the world. Know yourself as that, and that is freedom, liberation, awakening, the end of illusion. No need to wait, to progress, to add anything to yourself or the situation, as it's all happening right here, right now.⁠ (at Koh Phanang) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDiv09GF47s/?igshid=1kevdjvyobjs6
