The practice for adults -Violet Diamond Tantra- means the ‘focused (Diamond) – skill of (tantra) – transformation of desire – (violet)’. It is not overtly sexual, but concerns its self with natural human vital energy, which has been invested into, and become the suffering, through unwise desire and its transformation into lasting joy.
Desire and aversion are the two causal poles of stress in human experience. This is because a lack of true discernment leads us to see the unreal as the real, the changing as the changeless, the impotent of joy as the eternal joy. Everyone is subject to this stress until wisdom releases them. The very young and the very old. Even animals are subject to wanton desire of happiness or instinctual fear of suffering. Desire and aversion are the traps of the poles in the field of un-wisdom. Tantra is the skill of using these traps themselves to find true happiness, transfiguring one’s ignorance and attachment into realisation. Thus desire becomes tangible satisfaction, the path becomes joy and not suffering and the human spirit is incarnated in the matter which had been occupied previously as the ground of un-wisdom and suffering.
Humans, as opposed to all other life forms we know of, have two unique and distinct faculties in relation to desire. The ability to formulate second order desires, which makes the field of tension potentially more intense, and the ability to use the mind to discern what the nature of things are. This human condition is largely informed by the former and sustained by ignoring the real transpersonal structures of desire and mind. Being perpetuated through a lack of discernment, thus the human condition is changeable through skillful use of discernment and transformation practices such as Violet Diamond Tantra.
Stress takes form from the ground of the full consciousness or soul, which is the real Self. The ego then refracts a bit of this soul, investing in desire and enjoyment and forgetting its true self satisfied wholeness. This is the beginning of stress, as the things invested in exist as part of a changing world. As the identifications with lesser joys deepen, so does the stress. During this involvement there is a sense, a recollection inside, as if a distant echo in a deep valley of potent and real bliss. To know this comparison in the psyche is suffering. VDT takes these fragments of oneself and re-aligns them by transpersonal science to reveal the real Self, the soul-consciousness to the ego, and how it became refracted, involved and identified with stress.
Unconscious desire is both the result and course of misperception and the means to achieving true perception. Given the right tools any one can master the stress of desire and aversion, and use it to create the joy of true satisfaction. True discernment of the nature of things can take time to develop. Violet Diamond Tantra is an experiential, educational process which releases the consciousness investment in un-wisdom quickly and joyfully. This experiential satisfaction enables one to release the stress of grasping and attachment to the stream of endless desires.
This is important on two levels initially. Firstly it allows one to breathe and relax from the tyranny of stress and experience happiness. Secondly, as desire and stress are transformed the mind in turn is freed to perceive clearly without always being coloured by the filter of desires and the burden of stress. Furthermore the un-wisdom is more clearly seen through the greater consciousness energy available. The mind is also more easily brought to concentration since the senses are not frantically occupied with their objects of attraction. As desire is employed wisely and transmuted into true joy, the clear perception that is developed generates a light of wisdom which can be focused by the mind to empower more deeply the process of desire transformation. The process catalyses its own acceleration. If one can master the deepest desire of the personality, then, one’s energies are stress free.
Tantra is a way of disentangling oneself from the stressful fabric of desire which our material age and its commercial values have become, and finding true satisfaction. Violet Diamond Tantra resolves the issue of modern stress and replaces inferred commercial values with a realisation of true human values and the value of being human. Tantra seeks to enhance every aspect of life, to make it a means of entering profound lasting satisfaction through the medium of joy by the transformation of stress. Tantric practice is a means of experiencing the true satisfaction of spiritual connectedness through joy.
Violet light bridges coloured rays into transparent light; lower frequencies are absorbed into higher as their speeds are increased. The speed of violet light in the nervous system is experienced as joy. Violet is the highest frequency of light before the sum of synergy in it becomes a white light whose filament creates the field of transparent awareness. Violet contains all colours before they become transparent. The true perception that grows from tantra is a solution to social tensions which have their basis in misperception and hasty reaction to others. Learn this
