Tantra IV - vi Faith or Belief

It is at this point that we are faced with a choice - that of mysticism or that of realism. One withdraws inward, expands outward and experiences something that appears to fuse both. The experience is 'true' insofar as it is what it is - an experience.

The meaning of the experience or its 'reality' may be chosen to be as one wishes it to be - faith that the world is illusion and the experience to be a sign of a greater reality ... or belief that the experience is an illusory interpretation of the reality outside the self but one that may transform the hallucinating one's own world by changing his or her perception of its underlying reality.

If you choose the way of faith (the abandonment of reason), then there is no reason (literally) why you cannot re-appropriate the original language of the tantrics as you wish but if you choose the way of belief (that is, a way of seeing the world based on the most reasonable interpretation of the data being presented which may stand until the data changes), then the original language is that first stage rocket which is to be jettisoned. A new language has to be found or, to quote Wittgenstein, "Wovon man nicht sprechen kann, darüber muss man schweigen".
