Tantra IV - ii The Aim Restated

What is the aim of all this practice: everything that is mundane, time-bound and space-bound, underpinned by the drives that we recognise as sexual, is drawn from the world and becomes concentrated as an energy pinpointed in space-time.

The momentary intensity of this energy feels intense and pure, all constraints and anxieties disappear, one's capability for abandonment is understood - the intent is to have all the participants in a state of bliss. And if only one partner achieves this and the associated transformation and not the other or others, no matter - the achievement of the one will be reflected in the others and the situation, if not the persons, will be transformed.

None of this is easy especially as the whole process presumes a will to life and to abandonment, ekstasis. If the will to life is there, the transformation is possible. The orgasm is the change. It is all no more than the life force, the will to life itself to be found throughout existence. It is a state of freedom from the world but one that depends on a will to life beyond the mundane.

It is in the trembling and shudderings of the body at its central moment of emission and engagement that this will is expressed. This is why, rightly, the Tantrics analogise it as a connection with the 'primordial vibration', that which brings all things into existence, that is, the Big Bang in our modern scientific terminology. The individual transforms into the root brute force that is universal, beyond any sense of a material base.
