Tantra and the Three Absolutes

Seduction Inside-Out

You want to know
who you are?

Your Heart beats
within--
Listen, with your
eyes,
Watch, with your
ears,
Feel from inside
your skin--
abandon all thoughts
to the Graceful Percussion.

The hour will arrive
blessed seeker,
when the inner
pulse soars,
and the Heart's
incantation grows
sensuous as the
chaste string
surrendering love
to the bow's
liberating kiss.

Return often,
in devotion,
to listen,
watch, and
feel the
ecstatic rhythm.

In this lifetime,
beloved,
you shall meet
your Self.

On the path to exploring our marvelous humanity, we may discover the transformative power of the Three Absolutes.

Our lives are performed upon a moving stage.  The one constant we all know is that all will somehow and at sometime, change.  Nothing to be feared from change, of course.  The power behind universal movement is none other than our own dynamic will to create, to destroy, to conserve.  

We may long, however, to enjoy that aspect of our essential nature that does not change, is not subject to will or whim, remains ever absolute.

The first absolute is the original Sound.  When we release tension in our minds and bodies, and as the still silence of undifferentiated awareness begins to accumulate in the space of our meditation, we begin to hear that primal sound.  The white noise will have long faded into a relaxing drone.  Beneath that drone a subtler tone may be recognized.  One must listen very intently.  This is the first absolute.  This subtle tone will never change.  Whether one listens now or ten years from now, the tone will remain the same.  Absolute.  The experience of this subtle, inner sound is absolutely and always identical.

The second Absolute is the original Light that dawns within the absolute darkness of meditation that is unbroken by mental and emotional activity.  One recognizes this light when the quality of one's meditative purity arrives at the moment when one realizes that the light that endows all perception, all experience with any possible meaning, it's very recognizableness,  is itself absolute and unchanging.  You may gaze at this light for a thousand years through a thousand pairs of eyes and it will never change.  The light is not any experience in and of itself, but rather is the luminous power that allows life to present itself in the first place.

The third absolute is the child of the unstruck sound and the light of recognition.  When one's meditative being becomes absorbed in the experience of listening to the Sound and observing the Light, one may then surrender the entirety of one's awareness to the copulative friction of the perfect Light embracing the absolute sound.  One gathers the sound and the light into the temple of one's body/mind and surrenders all to the blissful, erotic friction that will resonate throughout the unified field of one's consciousness.  The third absolute is the originative sensation, the copulative friction that is the constant consummation of that light and sound that is the genesis of all possible experience.  When our meditative adventure arrives at this experience, we may be certain that we are experiencing what is essential to the Heart of our humanity.
