Summary: Far from genuine Tantra
Review: This book is as close to real Tantrism as is a child's drawing of an extraterrestrial. Of course, one can imagine whatever one likes, but the real thing may not have any relationship to our concept. Concept and reality are two different things. Genuine and positive Tantrism is a demanding exact science that frees the consciousness from the instinctive, subjective mind. Tantrism is the method to free the soul from suffering. The soul suffers inside the contradictions, concepts, ideas, dogmas, desires, memories, projections, fantasies, dreams of the mind we have. So long as we continue existing in the mind we have, we will continue suffering. So long as we continue in the mind we have, we will suffer. True Tantrism frees us of the mind. True Tantrism frees us of desire. So long as we do not conquer desire we cannot be free of desire. We must become "as little children": free of lust, free of anger, free of attachment. And what is the most seductive and powerful attachment we have? The attachment to sexual sensation. Conquer that attachment, and we can conquer the mind. Conquer the mind, and we can be free of suffering. For more information, read the writings of Tibetan Buddhism and study the Esoteric Christianity of Samael Aun Weor ("The Perfect Matrimony" and "The Mystery of the Golden Blossom").

Summary: Truly A Monument of our Age
Review: This book offers to teach Westerners something about Tantra. But there is a gross misonception in this book that needs to be clarified:"Sexual energy is divided into three distinct types. First: the energy having to do with the reproduction of the race and the health of the physical body in general. Second: the energy having to do with the spheres of thought, feeling and will. Third: the energy that is found related with the Divine Spirit of man.
Indeed, sexual energy is without a doubt the most subtle and powerful energy normally produced and transported through the human organism. Everything that a human being is, including the three spheres of thought, feeling and will, is none other than the exact outcome of distinct modifications of sexual energy.
The control and storage of sexual energy is certainly difficult due to the tremendously subtle and powerful nature of this energy. In addition, its presence represents a source of immense power that can result in a true catastrophe if one does not know how to handle it.
Within the organism, there are certain canals through which this powerful energy must normally circulate. When this energy infiltrates the delicate mechanism of other functions, failure is the violent outcome. In this case, extremely delicate centers in the human organism are damaged, and in fact, the individual becomes an infrasexual.
All negative mental attitudes can lead directly or indirectly to these violent and destructive catastrophes of sexual energy. Hatred of sex, hatred of the Sexual Mysteries, disgust or repugnance towards sex, disdain for sex, an underestimation of sex, fear of sex, passional jealousy, sexual cynicism, sexual sadism, obscenity, pornography, sexual brutality, etc., turn the human being into an infrasexual.
When man and woman unite sexually in the Perfect Matrimony, they are truly ineffable Gods in those voluptuous moments. Man and woman united sexually form a divine androgynous being, a male-female Elohim, a terrifically divine Divinity. The two halves, separated since the dawn of life are united for one instant in order to create. This is ineffable... sublime... this is a thing of paradise...
Sexual energy is dangerously volatile and potentially explosive. During the secret act, during sexual ecstasy, the pair is surrounded by a tremendous, terrifically divine energy. In these moments of utmost joy and ardent kisses, which ignite the depths of the soul, we are able to retain that marvelous light to purify and totally transform ourselves. When we spill the glass of Hermes, when the loss occurs, the light of the Gods withdraws, leaving an open door for the red and sanguinary light of Lucifer to enter the home. Then the enchantment disappears and disillusion and disenchantment take its place. After a short time, the man and woman start out upon the path of adultery because their home has become an inferno." (Quoted from The Perfect Matrimony by Samael Aun Weor). In short, those who continue to spill the sexual energy through the orgasm inevitably face disappointment, disiillusion, and they never enter into the real work of positive, White Tantra. All White Tantra requires the absolute renunciation of the orgasm.

Summary: A Shock
Review: While it is true that we in the West have very disturbed notions about sex and sexuality, it should be kept in the mind that genuine Tantra harnesses the most powerful energies in the human organism: the creative forces. If you use these energies to create more lust, more attachment, more false security, then quite simply you are deepening your suffering. The sexual energy can enslave or it can redeem; but are you sure you know the difference? For more information, read the works of Samael Aun Weor, especially "The Perfect Matrimony" (0974275506) and "The Mystery of the Golden Blossom." (0974275522)
