"Shane A. Saylor, Eccentric Bard": >Hello. I am looking for a clear, concise [yet detailed] definition of >Tantra/Tantric magick.... tantra -- a means of fusing apparent perceptual opposites through concentrated and dedicated attention in order to fabricate a composite whole of lasting satisfaction. the perceptual opposites may be located through patient introspection and a reflection as to the nature of one's manifest consciousness. the concentrated and dedicated attention is most easily achieved through practice within the boundary of conscious and unconscious experience (breath, aesthetic appreciation, sexuality) yet becomes more difficult as the apparent source and receptor of experience diversify. the fabrication takes place as the pandemic infusion of coalescing poles are understood to be simultaneously interwoven on microcosmic and macrocosmic levels (local symbols fuse with cosmic percepts). tantric magick -- directing the power obtained through connection to a bipolar energetic field to navigate the the currents and courses available to one in the cosmos as it unfolds in a manner which brings about change coincident with one's intent. best I could do. better luck next time. nagasiva -- tyagi@houseofkaos.abyss.com (emailed replies may be posted); 408/2-666-SLUG cc me replies; http://www.abyss.com/tokus; http://www.hollyfeld.org/~tyagi
