Tantric Riddles

Once upon a time, in a far-away place which might have been a dream, a shamanic journey, or simply a conversation in my mind - a goddess asked me a question. It wasn't in words, so much.. It was feelings, images, and the overwhelming desire to explain. To this day, I haven't been able to explain, but I get closer, step by step

( My riddle )

This was beautiful and so moving to read. *soft smile* I have missed you, both of you.

I needed some space away from LiveJournal.. but there were some people I missed too much to stay away.

I can understand and respect that, either way, nice to see you about. *soft friendly smile*

Thanks for sharing. Maybe there isnt a 'way' from State 1 to State 2 - two sides of the same coin? - Dragon and Tiger indeed. :)

Thank you for sharing *hugs* good to see you back. I really enjoyed reading it and the first thing that came to my mind was that it's to do with love, or maybe that's just how I translate it into my terms, I don't know much about tantra but I think that intimate exchanges should always be carried out with love. Of course there are many different flavours of love and your two places seem to be at different ends of a spectra of personal / impersonal. I'm sure there's more to it than that and I don't think I've explained what I mean very well but you've got me thinking :-) thanks.

Hi there Stranger.. hope all is well.. anyway onto what I see in your post.

Too much thought, too much of trying to explain. I think it's maybe something that can't be explained because giving it structure or form would prove too great a strain on a fragile balance.

I see a temple.. a body floating within pierced by a light that explodes into flame above the temple yet also fires burn from extremities of the floating body, fires that lead into rivers of flame.. reaching out to others.. the body untouched but so open, so honest.. no touch is needed to prove its reality. So raw & naked.. it is pure innocence.

Anyway... that's the image in my mind when I read your post.

Be well.
