This book explores the role of altered states of consciousness in
the communication of social and emotional energies, both on a
societal level and between individual persons. Drawing from an
original reading of Durkheimian social theorists (including Mauss,
Hertz, and Hubert) and Jungian psychology, Louise Child applies
this analysis to tantric Buddhist ritual and biographical material.
She suggests ways in which dreams and visionary experiences
(including those related to the 'subtle body') play an important
and previously under-explored role in tantric understandings of the
consort relationship.
