I don't know much about tantra, but aren't you confusing tantrics with a smaller group of aghoris?

They're not gone. If they were you wouldn't "want" them back, you would feel nothing.

Netflix? I think you can get a free month there and watch that and a couple of other interesting docs. edit: not 100% certain it's on netflix, since there was a lot of stuff removed from there.

Why do we have such a hard time remembering our "dreams"? Shall we put effort into remembering? What benefit?

Platonism and Hellenistic Spirituality
xor replied to Zhongyongdaoist's topic in Esoteric and Occult Discussion
I liked reading some Plato when I was a teen and later felt like I reached a dead end with him. I did like what you wrote on Mencius enough that I'll explore his writings soon so I'm wondering what you can do with Plato... -

Real numbers are higher.

The Compassionate Daoist vs. the Compassionate buddhist
xor replied to Cheshire Cat's topic in Daoist Discussion

basic is not always easy...

Yeah I didn't even consider you guys had previous history spilling into this thread. I tend to avoid new age because of alot of bold claims with proof that is weak or based on something I can't know if it's real. That said I've known some good people who were into new age...
