TANTRIC ORIGINS OF MOTHER WORSHIP?

[Guest guest]

Thanks Lilith. Yes, Tantra is iconoclastic and requires no names,

forms, rituals, mantras, yantras, icons or temples - only a man and

woman in love with each other and with True Dharma, whereby they

obtain maximum Salvation from the 8-Fold Suffering of: hunger,

disease, senescence (the universal disease from aging), death, low

mental intelligence, emotional depression, entrapment of

consciousness within the physical dimension, and the impermanence

from the endless round (Samsara) of incarnations.

 

Of course, to attain such a state, one must attain an ongoing Genetic

Rejuvenation to maintain physical immortality. And if such a person's

body was destroyed, his/her life in other dimensions would be much

better than for those who had not attained such an "Initiation" while

in the body. Scriptures report such extreme longevity as preferable

to the life of one who had not attained it. Nevertheless, in all

actuality, there is no physical example, we can lay our hands on, of

physcial immortality.

 

For that reason, despite scriptural claims of it, scientifically, it

is but a mere theory. To advance this theory and to arrange its

Experimental Research is my personal Bhakti Seva Sadhana. If a man

could attain all this multi-faceted Salvations from Sufferings, by

compliance of a woman, he would indeed probably adore her as his

personal Savior. For that reason, I propose that Tantra Sadhana is

the origin of Worship of the Divine Mother, because all the reasons

are there for doing so. Jai Ma. - Sai Ram

I would argue that Tantra is feasible by a single, unattached person as

well. If you don't happen to have your "soul mate" at this time, much of

your Tantric energies can be channeled towards a "manasik" (mind-born)

partner (or the Deity of your choice).

 

Indeed, I would argue that Tantra is possible between two lovers of the

same sex. Each of us contains both male and female aspects, and I

encourage the visualizarion of the God and the Goddess together, making

love in your Heart chakra.

 

I have also argued that Goddess worship has other inspirations beyond the

explicitly sexual. The Goddess can be related to as one's lover

(straight or gay), and also as one's mother, daughter, sister, teacher,

student, friend, nemesis, and alter ego.

 

Or am I being too much of a polymorphous hippy? I don't think so.
