Love is the most powerful force in the universe, however, most of us do not know what it means to love. Many of us have come to beleive that love is a myth, a fantasy not attainable in this loveless society. This is because we do not know the real meaning of love. Love is defined by many people (I don't know who first said it) as "the committment, respect, and concern for a person's spiritual growth." That person could be the self, or it could be the beloved. It could be said of romantic relationships as well as parent/child relationships. Loving is a conscious, Willful act. Love must be given to be recieved. In Red Tantra, Love must be offered from all 7 chakras to the one you intend to connect with. You must be able to love their mind, their words, their heart, their environment, their habits, and their sexuality. If you cannot allow yourself to open up to another person, entirely, you will not be successful with Maithuna. This means to connect and share energy with them on every level. If your partner is not trustworth on any of those levels, then the ability to be totally open is lost. You cannot have a balanced sending or receiving of Red Tantric energy if one person is holding negativity in their system. Love is compassion, concern, and committment to another person's growth. All communications should be toward positive ends that foster self esteem in others. Gossip and lies do not further anyone's growth, and should be shunned by all Tantric practitioners. Threats and violence are absolutely not acceptable methods of communication. If it doesn't make you feel good when you walk away, it wasn't healthy. If all communications came from a space of true love, where we actually cared about growth, it would change the human condition. Since we can't change other people, we can change ourselves. Do everything you can to foster growth in other living things, and you will find that your energy comes back to you 10 fold. If you find you cannot love someone entirely, figure out why. There should be nothing to fear in love. The Greeks recognized 3 types of love; Eros, which is erotic love, Pathos, which is comraderie, and Agape, the love of the Divine, or the love of all living things. To create a Red Tantric feild, you must open your aura and chakras to all 3 types of love from your partner. Connect all 7 chakras, and begin exchange of prana....see where this gets you!
