Tantra & Erotic Trance by John Ryan Haule

Tantra & Erotic Trance by John Ryan Haule

In the first volume of Tantra and Erotic Trance we learned to overcome the ejaculatory reflex and go beyond orgasm, and in turn were introduced to aspects of our awareness that otherwise might have gone unnoticed. Holding ourselves in a state of longing where nothing needs be done, we learn the transpersonal potential of erotic trance, inhabiting the body and mind of our partner as well as our own. We become acquainted with an inner force that has a will of its own, the serpent of light that India calls kundalini. By now, every step we have taken has separated us from the cultural assumptions of our society and aroused disturbing emotions and images. Facing them down in calm openness calls kundalini forth as our ally, clarifies our emotional responses and gives us a new stance toward life. -- Now in this second volume of Tantra and Erotic Trance, we find that the diamond ladder of mystical ascent is no longer out there in bodily congress or social expectations. Its rungs, instead, are the series of chakras through which the kundalini serpent rises. Each chakra that opens brings us into a different visionary world and a different emotional state. We begin in the heaviness of earth and rise through tumultuous waters and the fires of rage before entering the lightness of air and the endless expanse of ether. Indra's heaven is finally visited in the brow chakra, and we become one with the cosmos at the crown chakra. The ultimate goal, however, is to climb back down and live on the earth with our experience intact so that every empirical event is charged with transcendent meaning. -- John Ryan Haule holds a doctorate in religious studies from Temple University.
