Bringing Everything to the Path
Integral Tantra
Sally Kempton and Ken Wilber
This is not a discussion about sex. It's a discussion about bliss.
It often seems that the word Tantra is mishandled by the West, fantasized and
fetishized and repackaged into something more palatable to our collective
sexual shadow. But outside the realm of self-help books, soft-core porn, and
Sting interviews, Tantra actually has very little to do with sexual virility or
finding ways to last longer in bed.
Of course there are Tantric traditions that include sexual practices, but at
its core Tantra is really just the simple recognition of the erotic union of
emptiness and form. That is, that Spirit and matter are ultimately not-two, and
if you follow Spirit into the depths of manifestation, you will discover a
bliss beyond any you have ever known.
Because Spirit and Matter are ultimately not-two, and because we know that
matter is evolving, spirit evolves right along with it. Here lies the heart of
Integral Tantra. The apparent separation between form and emptiness is the very
first boundary we draw in our experience, and is the very last to be
transcended on the path to enlightenment. And it is this primordial duality
which, through the process of evolution, fractalizes into every other dualism
in our lives: feminine/masculine, interior/exterior, whole/part,
collective/individual, etc.
Because Integral Tantra encompasses literally everything, it allows us to bring
everything to our spiritual paths, while leading us to the central thread
running through every single dualism in existence—pull this thread, and the
entire Kosmos comes undone right before (and right behind) our eyes....
