EASTERN PHILOSOPHY / OCCULTISM Tantra has been defined as a
"mystical philosophy" and as an unorthodox branch of Buddhism,
Hindism, and Jainism, It has also been described as an occult
technique concerned primarily with polarity and sexual practices.
Although each of these definations contains an element of truth,
none of them is complete. While Tantra has mystical, philosophical,
and religious aspects, it is, above all, a technique of action--a
path of physical, mental, and spiritual disciplines incorporating
meditation, yoga, and scramental worship. Its sole purpose is the
transformation or spiritual rebirth of the individual into a new
existence and an enlightened state of consciousness. In Tantra: The
Way of Action, Francis King provides a complete theoretical and
practical guide to the Tantric path of liberation. Topics covered
include esoteric physiology, Qabalism, pleasure and pain, power and
passivity, right-hand and left-hand Tantra, and the arousal of the
Kundalini serpent power. Following the spirit rather than the
letter of the tradition, King maintains that Tantric techniques are
universal processes. As such, they transcend the limitations of
specific faith or dogma and are adaptable to Western culture and
lifestyle. A highly regarded authority on magic, mysticism, and
religion, FRANCIS KING offers a view of Tantra that is at once
contemporary, scholarly, and accessible to the Western reader. He
is the author of Techniques of High Magic, as well as several other
works on mysticism and ritual.
