One thought regarding the subject of time that I came across back some years ago, spoke of it as being a constant foe by those who struggled against its effects in their little bit of life and the world. The sort of foe that regardless of the effect or the cause, in some minds carries the results that many would argue would be some futile end to anyone's efforts, even if those efforts would be in the most noble of causes. Time however, can also be seen as a friend. The sort of friend that always remains by ones side and in ones life and stands as reliable and true to the mark of change and growth as a good and loyal dog does for their family. A friend who always greets with a wagging tail and a smiling visage hoping for nothing more than to be a part of ones life as one greets their days and welcomes their nights.

One interesting ancient source states:
"He who forces time is pushed back by time; he who yields to time finds time on his side." - The Talmud

Authentic Tantra: It is Not “Tantric Sex!”

There has been a phenomena in the Occult community that some would call the “Tantra phenomena.” Articles on subjects such as ‘fulfilling one’s sex life with Tantra,’ ‘sexual spirituality,’ and the very recent ‘tantric vampirism’ have flooded Occult-based websites with great fervor, as a result of this phenomena. Each article is different, but at least ninety percent of them have one theme in common, that theme being the belief that Tantra focuses solely on sexual practices, whether these practices are spiritual or non-spiritual in nature. No doubt, this belief in Tantra would lead many people, both occultists and non-occultists alike to consider it little more than glorified sex.

Unfortunately, what scholars and Tantric practitioners refer to as a popularized belief in Tantra does not represent Tantra at all. Every authentic Tantra practitioner will tell you these five simple words: Tantra is not about sex.
