Haven't seen much on here regarding Tantra, specifically Nondual Shaiva Tantra, so here are a few resources I've found over the past few months, in case anyone is interested in exploring this path. It's one of many forms of nondual spiritual philosophy and practice, and it deserves to be known just as well as Taoism or Zen Buddhism or Advaita Vedanta:

Tantra Illuminated - probably the easiest way into understanding this path. This book was written by an American Sanskrit scholar and Tantrik practitioner:

“The experience of money, in its possession and circulation, in the abstractness and impersonality of its value, etc., incites monistic thoughts.”

Brahman is not another kind of entity, not another kind of object. But what is it? How can we be sure it is not just pure nonsense masquerading as something deep and spiritual?

Brahman is far more than nonsense. It is in fact the most real thing we can possibly experience for it is existence itself.

Existence itself is that which makes it possible for all the entities of the world to exist.

One #NonDuality related question I’m thinking about these days is whether expressions of awareness are somehow modulated by awareness in a feedback loop of sorts.

I came to this by positing that even “negative” (in the moral sense) expressions of consciousness are reflective of a potentiality for such expressions within consciousness, so does it understand them and try to modulate them out somehow?

A Sunday morning reflection on #AdvaitaVedanta and St. Anselm's ontological argument, and why Vedanta escapes from Kant's famous objection that existence is not a predicate, providing a phenomenological and methodological means of Self-inquiry for Self-realization, which is God-realization.

Fungi & cyanobacteria in one entity... Great mascot for #nonduality.

The more people accept the theology of a bad person (original sinful villain) trying to be a good person (imperfect, forgiven hero) the better off we’d all be.

You can take the boy out of the weekly Bible study, but you can’t take the weekly Bible study out of the boy.

This is an interesting bit of insight from #CarlJung, read by the always insightful #AlanWatts. You can't connect with others if you pass judgment on them. Learning to accept others' flaws also means learning to face and accept your own dark side.

Reminds me of an #AlanWatts quote:
"There can be Eichmanns and Hitlers and Himmlers just because there are people who are unconscious of their own dark sides. [These people] project that darkness outward into Jews or Communists or whatever the enemy may be and say ‘There is the darkness; it is not in me. And therefore because the darkness is not in me, I am justified in annihilating this enemy!’”
#nondualism, #nonduality

What is Brahman according to Advaita Vedanta? This concept in philosophy and spirituality is notoriously difficult to think about clearly, but this is my best attempt to capture the nondualistic conclusions of Advaita Vedanta in plain English.

IMHO, Advaita Vedanta is the most sophisticated philosophical answer to the hard problem of consciousness that has ever been systematically developed.
