Tantra Without Tears

For the Western mind this is the only book on Tantra one will ever need. It is power. It is Kundalini, dressed in western clothes. It describes experiences and techniques which allow one to glimpse beyond ordinary day-to-day reality, into a world of marvels and horrors. In fact, it was not written as a traditional book at all, but was spontaneously dictated in altered states of inspired consciousness, as were many Esoteric books of the past. This book is somewhat experimental. It is an extended conversation or dialogue among individuals as indeed were many of the original Tantras. It gives you the understanding and ability to use certain symbols, sounds and images that you will find in more conventional and classical texts. In other words, as well as an instructional text, it is also a jumping off point for those who wish to pursue the original Eastern material at another time. This book tells one how to achieve and utilize power to meet one’s needs and suit one’s own ends. It is not about common notions of harmony or angels or anything like that. It is not sweet-and-light and is full of real-world experiences which reflect the working of Tantric philosophy an practice.
