It is appropriate to clarify some things about   the Tantric path at this time. The Tantric path is a spiritual path of soul development. It makes use of the energy dynamics of male and female relationships. Too many people think that this path is simply about erotic lovemaking. That is absolutely false. It is about the development of the soul and its powers. To consider this path to be anything else is a grave error. This is also a very functional path, perhaps the most functional path of spiritual  development that exists!

As mentioned previously the male and the female each follow different paths even though they are working together in a partnership. These paths are complementary to each other and also true opposites of each other. It is common to believe that each person has a similar experience to the other or that their understandings are similar to each other. This is far from the truth! Experience will show that the male and female can arrive at similar beliefs and viewpoints, but the way they arrive at those similar beliefs or viewpoints has nothing in common with each other.

Because we are talking about nonphysical energies, most of the activity happens in the nonphysical planes, the astral planes. When we encounter another person in a dream or vision we can recognize the truth of that contact by the instance of fear that shoots through us at the recognition of something  or someone that is not self! Up to this point both the male and female are exchanging energies that are mostly fantasy. His or her daydreams about the other person become more real than he or she is. It is what they spiritually represent to each other that they fall in love with. They are falling in love with an ideal and not with a real person. This works both ways.

But there is a point in the relationship when the energies pierce through all the protective layers   of illusion and each meets the other energetically in truth for the very first time. This is a very frightening experience because it is so intimate and sacred and the vulnerability of each confronts the genuine possibility of becoming  hurt. It is both terrifying and exciting. It stirs both of their emotions wildly. How can there be so much energy between them? The power of the energy exchange seems that it threatens to destroy them both. In addition there is an a  alien feeling about the other person’s energy. Something does not seem right and they both realize that they don’t really know each other at all.  They don’t know if they can trust each other.

This is the time in so many relationships when each person needs to back off a little and process what has happened up to this  point and where they really want to go with  this relationship. I would like to stress that the stages I have described so far are very normal and healthy love relationships. That is because the Tantric path is a very normal and healthy spiritual path when understood correctly. What makes the Tantric path special is the speed at which soul development  can progress when both partners are working with these energies in full awareness, especially sexual orgasm energies.

To put this bluntly, any relationship with the opposite sex that strikes a spark or consists of a genuine soul connection causes love to grow between the two people  And the growth of this love develops their souls. Each soul becomes larger, wiser, and more balanced because of the experience. In the beginning things are hit and miss resulting in a lot of errors and false starts. But each partner becomes a true teacher for the other and allows glimpses into what the opposite sex is really like.  With each experience the capacity to love grows.
