What are some good informational sources?
Authentic ones…
Of course I will be researching the wealth of information Maoshan has posted…
@Rosechalice thank you for changing the category oops 
lol
You where quick!
Still rusty in this thread making process
No worries 
I want to practice with my partner
I know there are different schools and sects
I want something real for her and I
I want to do things right too
Do I need a guru/teacher?
I’m very closed off though… I suppose I need to get over myself but how much do I need to?
I prefer being alone with her… Pretty much always
That would be the dream, just alone with my love
Please reach out, PM is good too, I’m all ears
This is the gateway to classical tantra. Hareesh is a scholar as well as practitioner who translates many texts from the original Sanskrit. He has also written a few books - tantra illuminated (an overview of classical tantra), the recognition sutras (one text, translated and fully expanded / discussed) being the most relevant to your question.
I see also your second post that you want to practice with your partner… I’m assuming you mean exploring eros. That isn’t necessarily tantra. Maybe neo tantra is more what you are seeking?
Can you clarify?
Thank you so much!
Honestly, I have no idea, she’s the one who told me she wanted to do tantra with me
She said she took some courses in the past which involves a partner
She just says it’s tantra for couples… I will look up what neo tantra means right now
I see it’s a western thing…
I don’t know how I feel about it, there isn’t any actual tantra that is orientated for couples?
As you can see, I’m no scholar
I just want something for me and partner to do which would enlighten us along the way as well as grow our bond and strengthen us/ enhance our experiences
Perhaps I dont deserve any knowledge in these regards because of this alone
I know people devote their lives to this
I am indeed ignorant to what’s out there
None the less, my partner wants this for us so I want to figure it all out
Why don’t you ask your partner? Because there is a zillion different things that can be “tantra”. For most couples…let’s say there is some deep chemical rewiring that you may or may not want or be ready for. It’s basically like sex on psychedelics. No special effects, but the “wiring” will be the same.
I remember Mao saying it took him one year of cultivation (and that means abstinence I think), and then close to another year to master one technique.
I think pre-orgasmic sex may be your thing, but dunno how you or your partner feel about it. They also call it Karezza. It can be started right way and will also “rewire” in a good way that will make everything easier later.

I do remember, the Karezza community was very paranoid about triggering. As in, they don’t do anything cause everything is sort of like “edging” for them, even music. It was about rewiring the habit…so not only is porn and such things banned, but anything that triggers lust except when being with your partner. Correction, lust is banned everywhere xD
We do have fieds for helping this though.
Most of western tantra that isn’t bs is basically reiki. Apart from that, drugs, body de-armoring (may be more legit than other things)…and weird stuff.
Karezza and some good old bedroom skills are way better…
Or you can just play alchemical crucible both of you.
Eye-gazing is another psychedelic level practice. But it creates monsters (or enlightens you the Rumi way).
And something a bit less? tantric is NLP and that kind of thing. October Man Sequence (parts of it) and plenty of patterns. It feels 100% energetic and real though.
Thank you! Busy in PM with something, then gotta run off to help make breakfast, will respond soon!
Read The Perfect Matrimony by Samael Aun Weor.
Thanks for joining, Gnostic!
Long time no talk…

I didn’t transfer contacts over lol
I wanted to be uncontactable back then lol
I’ll PM you my number
Texted ya
Okay gonna respond…
She doesn’t know what type of Tantra it was called
Probably because of the educator, didn’t do good educatin’
Which is named Charles Muir
@Maoshan_Wanderer have you heard of this guy?
Definitely a new age western guy?
After all I’ve read from you, I’m quick to jump on identifying him like a Tantra version of Dhyaanguru…
I think I’m ready for everything
But us as a couple? maybe not too steadfast…
I’ll check out those links on Kerrezza right now
I don’t think she would like anything that has to do with abstinence, neither would I …
First site says temporarily offline (been busy here and there lol just now getting to it)
Going to get back to this thread and you guys later…
Need alone time
Smart. I wouldn’t do it with my partner of 7 years.
Damn…maybe we’ll lose the archive, been offline for a while.
Well, that one and other books on Karezza are easy to find. Though I think it isn’t what you would be interested into.
Hope it doesn’t, I would be devastated it it happens!
@IAmJonathan If you are looking for meditational aspects then one of the greatest books in existence by Master of Masters - The Book of Secrets by Osho.
His other books:
Tantra - The Supreme Understanding
The Tantra Experience - On the Royal Song of Saraha
If you are looking mainly for the physical practices then:
Tantric Quest - An Encounter with Absolute Love
Desire - The Tantric Path To Awakening (not many as far as I remember)
The author of the above two is a charlatan (as some women have accused him of exploitation) or a kosher I don’t know but both the books are really good especially Tantric Quest.
Tantric Sex for Men: Making Love a Meditation by Diana Richardson Michael Richardson
Devi’s Tantra: Tantric Lessons from Another Dimension
This is a very interesting but not so famous fiction, it captures essence of Tantra written by a disciple of Osho.
Any or all books by Margot Anand.
You wouldn’t need anything else besides these.
