posted by the woman slave of a man who is marketing his ideology/techniques.
here is an excerpt from their web site which is pertinent to the subject:

                                What is Tantra?

    Tantra is a way of life that celebrates and strives for the 'oneness' of
    body, mind and spirit,often using sensual energy. The very meaning of the
   term 'tantra' reveals clearly its purpose; 'tan' means expansion, and 'tra'
   connotes liberation. Thus, tantra refers to the liberation of expansion by
   breaking negative barriers and seeking the positive. It is a philsophy that
   encourages one to cultivate the joy of their senses and harness, direct and
   focus their energies so that one can learn to live life ecstatically.Tantra
      is not a shallow philosophy though for it is not solely about seeking
   pleasure.While life and all of God's gifts as to enjoyed,Tantra strives to
   find a place of peace,joy and harmony within our selves and our culture as
    a whole. If we can find the good within our self,tehn why not within our
                                   fellow man?

    Similar practices have been developed in China(Taoism), Persia and among
     East Asian and North American aboriginal peoples. The common thread all
   these share is the NEED for male and female to unite their opposing forces
      or 'yin and yang' or 'yab and yum'(2 jointly fitting male and female
   forces)and the result is said to be spiritual transendence.Some benefits of
   Tantra are: Personal spiritual and emotional growth, improved relationships
     with friends and loved ones, improved health(more energy, less stress),
   increased self worth, emotional balance, improved love-making and prolonged
   states of ecstacy. By opening ones heart to lifes pleasures, we learn it is
    'ok' to let go of some control and let some pleasure in. We learn to have
      fun and play again, thus seeing 'life' in a whole new positive light.

     Bliss does not come over night and those who think they can read a web
    page,book or rent a movie and expect to find peace,joy,and harmony in one
     or two days is like a person who attempts to do long divison before he
     learns simple addition and subtraction.DsT is a process like any thing
    else,and even the wisest Teacher never claims to know all,for the day we
                  stop learning and growing is the day we die.

neo-Tantric context. you can find it at the following URL:
