Tantra is the art of annihilating ones enemies by making allies out of them. This is the path to true victory - victory over conflict itself.
In game theory, over a long enough time line, cooperation evolves as the ideal competitive strategy between opposing entities. This is tantra.
Where there is no defense, there can be no attack. This is tantra.
Where there is no attack, there is no defense. This is tantra.
Tantra is the inverse pedagogy by which the teacher treats the student as a friend and fellow teacher, and behaves as a fellow student.
Tantra is the path of cooperation between conflicting, opposing opposites.
Tantra is the infinite, intimate, relationship between opposites that heals all opposites, and heals relationship itself, within the fractal hologram of the cosmos.
Wherever there is wisdom and knowledge, truth and ignorance, there evolves a hierarchy of student and teacher. This hierarchy evolves into a duality which ultimates competes with, and attempts to annihilate, one another. The student depends on the teacher, and the teacher depends on the student. This is the fundamental social structure, the fundamental organizational hierarchy. And this is the fundamental insecurity, for this is true cultural codependence. Codependence is fear.
This is the birth of the householder/monastic dichotomy; the harsh choice between spiritual life and worldly life that we see throughout ancient cultures and civilizations. The student is the householder, providing for the worldly needs of both student and teacher. The teacher is the monastic, having retired from worldly concerns, benefiting from the patronage of the student. This is the fundamental cultural duality, the fundamental cultural opposition. It is easy to see which side of the equation might feel insecure, and go on a power trip...
To overcome the structural inequality inherent in teaching, Bastante Solipsis Marquez needed to find a way to not teach at all, but simply have a good time and entertain people. He needed to make friends with everyone, and basically embody the ecologically sustainable good time everyone wanted to emulate.
According to tantra, teaching spirituality is not about getting worldly people to be more spiritual. Thats a super ineffective way to go about it. According to tantra, teaching spirituality is about getting worldly people to notice the way you walk through the world, and be such a positive force in their lives that like curious horses, they stick their heads over fences they've built themselves to find out what the truth is.
