Comments on: THE ROOTS OF TANTRA, PART TWO http://www.catherineauman.com/blog/the-roots-of-tantra-part-two/ Los Angeles Psychotherapist specializing in Spiritual Psychology and Transpersonal Counseling Wed, 21 Dec 2011 21:33:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Amadeus http://www.catherineauman.com/blog/the-roots-of-tantra-part-two/comment-page-1/#comment-53 Amadeus Tue, 27 Jan 2009 02:56:36 +0000 http://catherineauman.com/blog/?p=5#comment-53 What you have written here is very true. The whole point of tantra is to transcend desire, go beyond it and achieve union with the universal. Most people do not know this and identify tantra with sex. They fall into the trap you mentioned: becoming enthralled by and addicted to the sexual circus. Very few actually actualize transcendence, which is why tantra is so difficult, like all yogic endeavors. I enjoyed your writing and really liked this website. Will definitely come back for more.
