The Tantra of the Soul and the Body<br />

EGYPTIAN TANTRIC YOGA<br />

Above, from the papyrus of Nebseni, nebseni’s soul visits the mummy (physical body of<br />

Nebseni) in Nebseni;s tomb. The Ba assumes the “Aset Position” a tantric sexual posture<br />

wherein she revives the body of Asar long enough to receive his seed and produce offspring,<br />

Heru-sa Asar sa Aset (Heru the son of Asar and Aset). This signifies the transference of the life<br />

essence to soul form. The soul is the intermediary aspect of the personality between the physical<br />

and the spiritual.<br />

The Highest Tantra: Supreme Love<br />

True love is unconditional. This does not mean that people should not be told when they are<br />

acting improperly. It means that love should not be affected by externalities. What someone<br />

does, says or feels is an externality. If these affect the feeling of love then it is in reality not love<br />

immutable. It does not demand or expect anything from you but it is ready to open up to all. The<br />

external personality of a person is like an illusion, a reflection or shadow of the soul, much like a<br />

world which is seen through colored glasses. Every part of the world is tinged with the color of<br />

the glasses so the reality cannot be seen the way it really is. Further, the external personality is<br />

ephemeral and flawed. The outer expression of the soul in the human personality is based on the<br />

level of spiritual ignorance and immaturity of the individual. Through this ignorance the<br />

selflessness and radiance of the soul becomes refracted into lust, greed and desire which reflect<br />

in the egoistic human personality. Therefore, the cure for the human condition of ignorance is<br />

spiritual knowledge and spiritual practice (selfless service to humanity. Having discovered the<br />

true essence of the soul within, the personality of a Sage or Saint reflects the light of reason,<br />

selflessness, peacefulness, contentment and universal love. To the extent that these are reflected,<br />

the level of spiritual maturity in an individual is also reflected. Further, to the extent that one is<br />
