Good morning from Earlton —
This is my first essay into an audio presentation focusing Blue Tantra, or the turning toward oneself. Below is a representation of the classical Shri Hantra, which is the gateway into time, understood to be the yoni. I introduce the idea of the Thresholder or special witness and discuss the essential role of embarrassment.
I have included (below) the Bare Essence article that presents many basic ideas in a format that (unlike most of Book of Blue) is organized teaching rather than immersive exploration through art. Mostly I discuss the idea of paravritti, the turning toward, which in classical tantra is turning toward the gateway into time, and in Blue Tantra is about turning toward oneself and being present for others doing the same.
You are invited to add your comments. I’m testing these teachings on our small closed group here on the Book of Blue Subsack, so your responses will be especially meaningful and for now and the foreseeable future, in a secluded space.
Thank you. With love, Francis Skunk Mouse.
