Time to get political about Tantra?

I watched an interesting video by David Wilcock. He says that 2012 is an important year, where humanity will make it or break it. It is a date highlighted by the Mayan and Egyptian calenders. It is the dawn of the Age of Aquarius.

I look around me and see what is happening. It is a fact that many more people have the same thoughts and feelings as I do. This is a factor of the search for spirituality by the Baby Boomers and the post-war European generation. We have the resources to be forward thinking. We have seen a sexual revolution, the emancipation of women, birth control, liberalism. We want more.

The feminist movement has been very aggressive in asserting the rights of women - perhaps too aggressive, because they have not carried all the women forward. The hard core despise men. Others know that they need something from men, but cannot define it, leaving "soft" men bewildered and "hard" men even more macho than before.

What should have happened is that women recognised their true sexuality and then educated the men on exactly what they wanted. Then the men willing to learn would have been able to do what men are good at, namely worshiping their women through their sexuality, or they would have literally died out.

To a degree this is happening, I agree. But it is happening in pockets - the traditional areas of liberal thinking, such as Hawaii, California and Northern Europe. Just a small fraction of the world.

We are faced with a fork in the path; The two scenarios are as follows:

1) The dark forces take over. By religious fundamentalism, chauvinism again comes to the fore and men are "empowered" to treat women as farm animals, as happens in many parts of the world. The lack of females in India and China causes men to dominate merely by being in the majority. In North America, Europe and Australasia, more interference in peoples' private lives "in the interests of your security", becomes a method of control. Sex becomes a purely commercial consumerist function, like drinking and eating are now. You can have as much as you like as long as you are paying someone for the privilege. Pig out, like people do on fast food and sugary drinks, with fast sex.

2) We do, indeed, enter, the Age of Aquarius, where women universally understand that they are liberated through their own sexuality and that they can reach a higher level of consciousness with a lover that understands love. Loving and sex begins with a smile and develops to a deep, sacred relationship between adults, regardless of age, cultural background or skin color. People trust each other and the universal law of Karma is embraced as The Law.  We learn that we are all gods and that together we understand that we are Nature and therefore will do all to protect our lineage.

So, sisters, it is up to you. You must lead this revolution. Learn to love yourself and bury generations of inherited low self-esteem. Find a Dakini or a Tantrika and know what it can be really like and then find a partner who can help you transcend.

Many women around the world need to be shaken out of the shackles they find themselves in - whether by bullying men, intolerant religion, children from a very early age or the disease of consumerism.

I am an optimist: I prefer the Age of Aquarius outcome :-)
