A bit of a ramble about tantra, sex and politics

If everyone felt the kind of playful, clear, loving goodness that this really deep work brings then the world would be one very different place. Not that we wouldn't have shit to sort out, there's plenty of testament to that, but it would be different. What if every politician or executive had to go on a tantra retreat, or a meditation retreat, as part of being qualified for the job? What if the will to enquire of the self was seen as a fundamental part of assuming positions of power. The world would really be different. Many of our greatest and most inspiring leaders have had a spiritual perspective (for want of a better word) and have been at least partially involved in or influenced by a movement with an aim towards some kind of gnosis of the human spirit. Fundamental would be not being so messed about sex - it's got be one of the greatest motivators of human disaster, from the very small to the very large. The further i go in this journey, the further i dare to dream of a world that is very different to this one, where respect is the main currency and love the central bank.
But then i think of my greatest spritual teacher (pictured above) and i remember to slow down, stop struggling, and sleep more.
