Ashtanga vinyasa yoga asana




11 But he said to them, a“Not everyone can receive this saying, but only bthose to cwhom it is given.12 For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs dfor the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let the one who is able to receive this receive it.”
Matthew Ch. 9





“The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.” – Nikola Tesla



The materialistic view of reality says that humanity ascended from apes, who came from fish, who came from plants, who came from the ocean, basically.  But according to quantum physics, material reality arises out of consciousness.  Consequently, we need to look for a nonmaterialistic, or spiritual view of reality.

The spiritual view of reality says that humanity descended from the nonphysical realm of angels down into physical reality.  Out of ignorance, angels voluntarily downgraded their status in order to enter into physicality, basically because the women were hot and the angels wanted to try sex out.  Desire was the catalyst that cast the angels from heaven into the world - sex desire.  The desire to procreate.  More specifically, angels who wanted to be God and wanted to create in their own image jumped ship so that they could breed to their hearts content.  Poor horny angels, you can't really blame them. 

Angels desired to have sex and have children, and create in their own image.  This led to the creation of space-time, the physical cosmos, biological life, the human race, and all the associated problems.  Angels did the bopping and breeding and samsara is perpetual, you know.  It never ends.  Samsara is desire itself.  It goes on forever.  Samsara is the original A.I. program.  It is the matrix, and worldly desire keeps us trapped in it. 

As long as these fallen angels remain focused on satisfying their desires, they remain trapped in physicality, the human realm, the realm of desire.  Only when they abandon selfishness and set about the great work of serving others do they free themselves from the chains of desire.  From this place, wherein the flowers of the garden inspire us not to pluck but to water, samsara loses its grip on us, and angels ascend to their rightful place once again, not as masters of worldliness but as servants of the most High.

This is the path of the spiritual warrior, and this is the starting premise of any authentic tantric yoga practice.  The mature tantrik or tantrika is steeped in the tapas of brahmachariya.  Or, as Christ would say, there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven.  Way to go, guys.  In a world of tinder and polyamory the brahmachari/brahmacharini isn't exactly worried about fitting in.

The heart of tantric practice is facing and making peace with our own negative feelings.  The esoteric mystery of tantra is the esoteric mystery of making peace with the shadow, and thus embracing it as an ally.  Only in such a way may the competition between light and dark, between yin and yang, be transmuted into cooperation.  It is through this technique that peace breaks out in the war of the sexes.

Thus through tantric technique we are able to annihilate our enemies by making allies out of them, as it were.  Tantra is the interweaving of opposites.  Tantra is the technique of healing relationship.  If yoga is the science of revealing the absolute and annihilating the relative, tantra is the technique of revealing the absolute to the relative, and making peace between the two.  The supreme, invincible tantric technique, of course, is the only one that really matters: loving-kindness.

Ashtanga vinyasa yoga asana, in the crazy wisdom tradition of Vajradharma.  Coming soon.
