Seattle Tantra defines a new way to look at religion and the relationship of spirituality to the full extent of the lifespan. Tantra is a religious perspective that deals with the present moment, the here and now, not a solution to the fear of death. "Divinity" is an energetic concept. A being is "divine" when that being is expressing the energies of life in unconditional love, compassion, creative intelligence, true humility, and gratitude.

We all have the capacity to be divine and hence to understand spiritual realities. The fairy tales of our "classical" understandings of God, the angels, and heaven are beginning to collapse under the burden of scientific discovery and enhanced insight and understanding. This site will show how all religions, including agnosticism and atheism, can find similarities in their philosophies rather than differences.

Jesus said it, he said "I and the Father are one", when scolded by the religious leaders he pointed out the Old Testament scripture that affirmed "You are all gods". They did not understand him then and they certainly do not understand him now. We are all composed of the divine energy, the life force energies that have their source, not in a fabled heaven somewhere in another place or dimension, but in the heaven of our inner being, the empty space of consciousness.

A new age of enlightenment is manifesting, the current "dark ages" are coming to an end. The concept of God as the aspect of energy in our world is being understood. Our universe is composed of particles of matter, space, and energy. We know from Einstein's famous equation E=mc2, that matter and energy can transmute, and this fact itself may lend clues to a more spiritual existence, however the world we live in is one where there is an interaction between the matter and the energy that mirrors the interaction between the material world and the spiritual world.

All matter is composed of energy to some degree, even a common stone, or a drop of water contain a hug amount of energy. Living beings have a unique form of this energy, that is what animates and enables the expression we see as behavior. In the Tantric philosophy God is the life energies within all sentient beings. The source of this life energy is not outside us, i.e. "God in heaven" but something the quantum physicists call the "zero point field", or the "unified field".

Interestingly enough, Einstein thought he had quantified this field in his special theory of relativity, and then in 1917 he realized he had not.

He spent the rest of his life, never accomplishing the objective. Current physicists are equally mystified and have no workable theory to test any hypothesis concerning this field.

Classical physics, what we call the Newtonian paradigm, supports a view that powers and energies exist outside of ourselves. Hence, the notion that God is in heaven (outside of ourselves) is supported.

However, the discoveries and logic of quantum physics, which will replace Newtonian physics in 10-20 years or so, supports that the energies (and hence "god") are contained within each physical form. This form can take the shape of a star, a planet, a human being, a crystal, an insect, the air, even a common stone.

A "goddess" or "god" or Tantric practitioner, simply has an intuitive understanding of the life force energies and have mastered the expression to some degree. A Tantric Master lives in a present moment reality and is able to enlighten those who they practice with. When God is understood to be the source of life energies  as expressed through the animate being, the concept that he or she is monitoring and judging our behavior as good or evil can be discarded. Right action then becomes what is expressed freely from the source, error becomes the modification of that expression through the filters of ego, expectation, conditionality, and self consciousness.

What we feel and sense, what gives us pleasure no longer is considered sinful but The great benefit of this is that our physical sensations are then considered sacred and divine, not dirty and shameful. The physical pleasures are considered as virtue, not as sin to be denied or regulated.

Remember the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden? They were naked and unashamed, in a paradise that only changed when their perception of the world changed (understanding a difference between desirable and undesirable). We can recapture some of that bliss, and right now the only religion that assists in that process is Tantra.

Where else can people go where people are not afraid of sexuality, and where someone is willing and able to help heal that aspect of life? Where you can learn that God offers us this simple, beautiful way to interact with each other, learn intimacy, and enjoy the fullness of our life span?
