What happened was this: Jenny Slate was a human mammal who sniffed the air every morning hoping to find another person to love who would love her, and in that period there was a deep dark loneliness that she had to face and befriend, and then we are pleased to report that she did fall in love, and in that period she was like chimes, or a flock of clean breaths, and her spine lying flat was the many-colored planks on the xylophone, but also she was rabid with fear of losing this love, because of past injury.

Collana: I classici dell'essere. Il tantra è una scuola di vita, e come tale va avvicinato. L'invito è a coinvolgersi in un processo che di per sé non ha un fine o una fine; è un semplice giocare con l'energia che noi siamo, nella sua formaprimaria – ovvero la sessualità - che viene sollecitata a evolversi, grazie a una partecipazione totale; così da equilibrarsi con la forza universale di cui è un'emanazione.

Il Tantra è la metodologia che permette di purificare l'amore da tutto ciò che lo avvelena. Per capirlo, è essenziale partire da una comprensione fondamentale, ovvero che noi siamo una realtà energetica, ed esiste un'unica energia vitale che opera attraverso di noi. Come Osho spiega, "è la stessa energia vitale che al livello più basso si manifesta come energia sessuale, e al livello più elevato si manifesta come spirituale. Pertanto, secondo me, non esiste opposizione di sorta, nessun conflitto."
