Opis

Consciousness is a fundamental part of matter. The substrate of everything is of mental character. Mind is the first and most direct thing in our experience and all else is remote experience. The fact that all matter is conscious solves the hard problems of consciousness. Consciousness cannot arise out of unconsciousness. Panpsychism and connection to the protoconsciousness field forms the basis of tantric states. The tantric states associated with sexuality help to connect with the protoconsciousness field and form a major part of Hindu philosophy and culture. The sexual transcendence as a part of worship is seen in Hindu practices. Sexuality was used as a instrument for cortical suppression and cerebellar dominance creating a surrealistic transcendental state. The sexual transcendence can be heterosexual or alternate and can lead to blissful merger with the protoconsciousness field.
