The Tantra Thread

money was invented for handing to women, but buying dances is a chump's game
Anyone here ever learned about tantra? Tried to put it into practice? Just pertaining to sex, or other aspects of it?
The works of Kenneth Grant, a successor to Aleister Crowley, drew much upon tantra.
Donald Michael Kraig earned a degree in Philosophy from UCLA, and then in the next decade he began teaching and writing on both Western and Eastern occult topics.
But he died too early, battling pancreatic cancer.

Kraig contributed to, and I'd read it before. It's good. Good pictures too:

Talks about the five elements, Tattvas

Talks about relations between Eastern Chakras and the Western Tree of Life
Talks about their being 4 Yugas, and the 4th is the Kali Yuga. It started in 3120 BC, and it lasts 432,000 years. It is an age characterized by viciousness, weakness, and disease.
"... in this age people will earn respect simply by owning things and will tell lie after lie to become successful. Sex will be the only way people will be able to enjoy life, and people will confuse the outer trappings of religion with true spirituality."
And while in the other yugas the ideal spiritual texts are the Vedas and other Hindu texts, the ideal texts for the Kali Yuga are the Tantras.

What a dumb fag. Was the guy really a chip designer before he went off the deep end?
I'll have the book about the expert in defending, Dion Fortune, soon. But the Donald Michael Kraig book also has some protection info, something drawn from the 1973 movie, "The Exorcist".

Now, about Summum, it started in Salt Lake City, and the founder was born there. Only know a little bit about it. What they are known for is Mummification and Tantra. And they also seem to embrace ideas of Osho. Books mostly not in libraries, though years and years ago I read some of one about tantra.
Had their pyramid before 1980. Their videos are made inside the pyramid.
But Salt Lake City is where they are from. They are not just there to poke fun at LDS.

It would not surprise me at all if their founder is ex-LDS. Telling people to take synthetic religion seriously, almost would have to be LDS or Scientology.
Right here: "I had been an Elder in the Mormon Church, married with two children, and well educated. I didn't possess the mental "space" or openness to accept the events which happened to me."
