Enlightenment is an insight into the spiritual. It also means "the full comprehension of a situation". The opposite meaning is ignorance.
If you become enlightened with Tantra, you start to realize that most of humanity is ignorant. Not only in Tantric terms, but just the way we live.
I feel that humanity today exists in a western-culturally led globalisation. This has turned many of us into potted plants. Society feeds and waters us to keep things just so. To be useful to carry out work for others. To keep the status quo.
We think that we can be "happy" by amassing material goods. We focus on time. We worship money, the great mammon. The education system dumbs us down with outcome orientated teaching. We accept that the world is becoming a rougher, less caring place. We focus on "me", the ego.
It could be so different. If we want to move forward in peace, we must think in a new way.
First of all, we have to start with our health. Without our health, we cannot be good lovers. It is hard to give if you are thinking about pain. We eat food that is not real food. To make someone rich, or as government policy. This leads to chronic illness: cancer, diabetes, heart disease, etc.
We have to take responsibility for our health . We can start by proper eating in modest amounts. We have to practice intermittent fasting and occasional calorific restriction.
We have to learn to centering, the single-point of attention. That is not found in your head, it is in your 'Hara', below your navel.
We have to learn correct breathing and how to move.
When we are healthy, we can move to fitness. Mental and physical fitness. Then we can give, engage with our minds and higher consciousness. We learn to do this and later we can learn to fuse with another enlightened human to release the full power of Tantra.
99.9% of people are living in ignorance. They have locked themselves in their intellect, egos and emotions. They are not in their sensuality.
In my opinion, there is one group, a large group, who have the easiest path. These are mothers who have brought their children to adulthood. There we have a dilemma. Because of cultural stereotypes, the women suffer from low self esteem and self worth. What a shame.
The loving potential of these women can power the world. That potential is only released when the men become enlightened.
So, let me restate my mantra: The role of men on this Earth is to worship the Divine Feminine.
Apart from being the catalyst to help women reach a higher and higher level of consciousness, they can do a lot. It starts with total respect for women. No molesting, no rape, no putting women down. No equality as feminists would have. Rather an elevation of all women to a status of the Divine Goddess.
That does not mean that men should be patronizing. Being strong and protective at the same time loving and tender is the duty of all men. Providing the means to procreation and supporting mother and child is another. Men must never regard women as property. They must accept the non-permanence of relationships. The latter is hard to achieve. Jealousy, envy and possession are all apart of our material world. Rejection is hard for the ego to deal with. But we must get rid of the idea of monogamy and possession. It is a poison.
If you are a woman reading this: Trust your intuition. Realize your sexuality. Look after your health.
If you are a man reading this: Accept that women are on a higher plane in the sentinent hierarchy. Use your sensuality and empathy as a strength. Do not consider it a weakness. Listen to your partner. Your aim is to help bring her to a lasting sensual orgasm and keep her there for as long as possible. You will then sense the energy of the cosmos. This is a reward in itself.
Namaste.
