Tantra is neither about generic sexual techniques, nor about concepts and mere visualisations. It is about uniting the mind with the sensations of the body to awaken the truly lucid and ecstatic state that is the only one nature of reality.
By limiting your perspective to doctrinal dogmatism or cultural particularism, you cut yourself off from the greater potential of the human condition.
If we are to liberate ourselves from the growing darkness of the present time we must take the broad view and spiritually empower ourselves to best accomplish the wishes of ourselves and others.
Strive to let go of any hatred, or petty feeling, you hold in your heart and resolve to be the awakened hero, Bodhisattva, that this world of suffering so desperately needs.
Now is not the time for petty division, but radical unity against the degradations of modernity.
Seek and ye shall find.

"Hevajra: a principal meditational deity and Tantric system in Indian and Tibetan Buddhism using the metaphor of war. Hevajra with the name 'Hail Vajra!' is related to the Hindu god Indra in a number of ways. Many of the minor associated rituals are concerned with destroying an enemy and entire enemy armies."

โIt is such a mistake to assume that practicing dharma will help us calm down and lead an untroubled life; nothing could be further from the truth. Dharma is not a therapy. Quite the opposite, in fact; dharma is tailored specifically to turn your life upside downโitโs what you sign up for. So when your life goes pear-shaped, why do you complain? If you practice and your life fails to capsize, it is a sign that what you are doing is not working. This is what distinguishes the dharma from New Age methods involving auras, relationships, communication, well-being, the Inner Child, being one with the universe, and tree hugging. From the point of view of dharma, such interests are the toys of samsaric beingsโtoys that quickly bore us senseless.โ
