The Tantric way is open to all the richness of human nature, which it accepts without a single restriction."
DANIEL ODER
Tantra is often defined as 'to weave, and can be compared to weaving fabric. Tantra is therefore a path that weaves together. But what exactly is it that is being woven and why? We experience a lot of pain when we feel a split in our lives. Whenever we feel torn two ways we feel an inner conflict. And it can also manifest as outer conflict too. Often we don't even realize that our challenges in life are due to this underlying split. For example, we may think and say that we want a relationship, but inside we fear commitment and can't understand why we aren't attracting a stable relationship. Or maybe you know you are torn, and suffer: part of you wants a stable job and structure, and another part wants to travel free.
Tantra is about merging. It is about uniting.
It is about making love.
Tantra is about uniting all that has become split apart creating wholeness, healing and totality so at last your life can flow with ease and with a sense of 'choicelessnes There is one way, one truth Life becomes a river that you can flow along with, rather than a complex planning strategy, a confusing chaos or a painful battlefield.
One of the big places in which our lives can be divided is between everyday life and spiritual reality in the metaphysics of Tantra, however, the world can be understood to have two dimensions: horizontal and vertical.
The horizontal dimension is the world we see around us: our friends, family, relationships and experiences. The objects we handle on a daily basis, the physical location where wo live, and so on. For most people this is reality.
The vertical dimension is the pole that runs between heaven and earth and is, in general, much less familiar. This aspect of reality highlights that we can, at times, experience a very physical solid reality bodies, objects, etc.- but at other times we experience a much less tangible universe thoughts, emotions, energies and even states of consciousness. Think of a time you felt extreme joy or ecstasy and felt as though you were being lifted into the skies- this is the lift upwards in the vertical reality.
