Mystical Tantra really happened!

My friends,

It is two days since the MYSTICAL TANTRA workshop in Czech Republic ended. Here are some of my after-thoughts that I just sent to the participants.

My work is different from most other teachers because I do not want to feed your minds more than necessary. We are so trained to live through our minds. We are taught to THINK life. This is sad because our thinking dominates so much that we cannot EXPERIENCE life as it is happening. We think, criticise, judge, and so we miss what is happening here and now. And we do not realise that our thinking protects us from all the feelings and inner experiences that we have been brought up to fear – tears, joy, libido, excitement, anger, and perhaps deepest of all, fear of the mystical and spiritual that is so much more than our own person. The mind is a great resource: I could not write this without it. And it is also sometimes nothing more than a defence mechanism. Whenever we do not want to feel, we think instead!

I designed this workshop to bring you out of your minds and into a total experience of Tantric life happening here and now – yes, to blow your minds in a really beautiful way! And this happened a lot. I am still in awe. MYSTICAL TANTRA REALLY HAPPENED!

And then afterwards it can happen that the mind wants to put everything back the way it was before you opened up. As long as your mind wants to control the show, it has to fight against your total being. Then it comes up with all its usual attitudes and opinions and judgements and may even want to invalidate your experience so that it can regain its control over you. So please don’t be concerned if you are a little confused. That just means that your mind hasn’t yet been able to fix everything back in place. Trying to think everything out keeps you in a very limited experience of your life: it is like being on the phone all the time while life passes you by.

Honestly, I think your confusion is much more valuable than anything your mind does to overcome it. If you say hello to your confusion and let it be, it gradually dissolves, and you find that you can keep living in intimate connection with all your inner experiences - your feelings, energies, awareness, intuition and the mysteries of your soul. Instead of running your life, your mind has become a valuable servant of your BEING. Living this way, YOU ARE a rich and magical experience of life happening here-and-now. Bon voyage!
