The energetic aspect of our universe is the spiritual aspect as well. The famous equation E=mc2 suggests that matter and energy are really different forms of the same elements. It is far less esoteric to think of the spiritual world as the pure energetics of our universe than a deity or group of deities. These deific concepts were defined by our mystics in order to explain aspects and interrelationships in our universe, not to encourage our worship and adoration of fabled beings in fairy tale dimensions.

Similarly, Tantra is not about humming on Chakras, or banging gongs and cymbals, however fun and magical these practices seem. Tantra is also not about prolonging or controlling orgasm, or breath "work", or eye gazing. These behaviors may accompany a Tantric practice, but they do nothing to guide someone into the realms of Tantra. As in all religions, these practices put the proverbial cart before the horse. When you are in a Tantric union with a lover, your breathing will synchronize, you may gaze into each others eyes, you may relax into the aroused state, your heart rates may even entrain. However, trying to "get there" through these exercises is like attempting to breathe heavy to become aroused. When you are aroused you will most likely breathe heavy, but you cannot become aroused simply by altering your breath patterns.

Tantra is about flowing with the current of life itself, like floating downstream, there is no "control" or alteration of the present moment awareness. None whatsoever.
Tantra re-defined states that the practice and study of Tantra reacquaints an individual with the source of the energy that, through them, manifests as conscious awareness. We are living, breathing, sensing, behaving, and creative beings. This "beingness" is a manifestation of the life energies, unique and miraculous energies that animate us and distinguish us from inanimate matter like sand and soil, water and air.

Yes, it is very true, when one is reacquainted with these life energies, the sensation is highly arousing. The arousal is one of the entire being. The intellect is aroused, the heartfelt compassion is aroused, the true will is aroused, as well as the rest of the channels.

Seattle Tantra defines a new way to look at Tantra and the relationship of spirituality to the full extent of the lifespan. Tantra is a perspective that embraces the present moment, right here and right now, not a solution to the fear of death. "Divinity" is an energetic concept. A being is "divine" when that being is expressing the energies of life in unconditional love, compassion, creative intelligence, true humility, and gratitude.
We all have the capacity to express this divinity and hence to understand and embrace spiritual realities. The fairy tales of our "classical" understandings of God, the angels, and heaven are beginning to collapse under the burden of scientific discovery and enhanced insight and understanding. This site will show how all religions, including agnosticism and atheism, can find similarities in their philosophies rather than differences through a Tantric understanding.

Jesus said it, he said "I and the Father are one", when scolded by the religious leaders he pointed out the Old Testament scripture that affirmed "You are all gods". They did not understand him then and they certainly do not understand him now. We are all composed of the divine energy, the life force energies that have their source, not in a fabled heaven somewhere in another place or dimension, but in the heaven of our inner being, the empty space of consciousness.

A new age of enlightenment is manifesting, the current "dark ages" are coming to an end. The concept of God as the aspect of energy in our world is being understood. Our universe is composed of particles of matter, space, and energy. The world we live in is one where there is an interaction between the matter and the energy that mirrors the interaction between the material world and the spiritual world.

All matter is composed of energy to some degree, even a common stone, or a drop of water contain a hug amount of energy. Living beings have a unique form of this energy, that is what animates and enables the expression we see as behavior. In the Tantric philosophy God is the life energies within all sentient beings. The source of this life energy is not outside us, i.e. "God in heaven" but something the quantum physicists call the "zero point field", or the "unified field".

Interestingly enough, Einstein thought he had quantified this field in his special theory of relativity, and then in 1917 he realized he had not. He spent the rest of his life, never accomplishing the objective. Current physicists are equally mystified and have no workable theory to test any hypothesis concerning this field.

Classical physics, what we call the Newtonian paradigm, supports a view that powers and energies exist outside of ourselves. Hence, the notion that God is in heaven (outside of ourselves) is supported.

However, the discoveries and principles of quantum physics support that the energies (and hence "god") are contained within each physical form. This form can take the shape of a star, a planet, a human being, a crystal, an insect, water, even a common stone.
