A quickie, quickie!

At the present time it is impossible to have in mind a perception of the development of a profound human form that does not come from classical culture, that is, from the times of a past that in terms of behavior is not so far from us. However, on the other hand, we have a breakdown in the culture of information that has given us a performance that permeates the field of information and exchange in an efficient light and sometimes fleeting way.
The interpretation of this classic culture is not to be excluded in the way we read the current times and especially the way we relate in times of internet, corona virus and everything else that incites us to a scenario where the virtual iteration became the great star king in times of Aquarius era.
When rejecting the search for classic data about what habits were like before the internet, for example, and its functionality in terms of relationships, be it with yourself, with your neighbor or your partner, it seems like a great waste of time in front of you. the current fluidity and speed of how we relate, even to inform ourselves of things that until then can be considered of paramount importance for us.
This speed of current times in propagating reports and the quality of reducing in a few lines, topics and words the size of this information already condensed and summarized for a better use of time and the speed at which something is consumed, one can say, it also reduces the learning itself and the practice of some day-to-day insights, and even the maturation of different aspects about oneself and in front of the other and the entire universe.
We feel in this universe of sea of information and consumption unrest, a hurried way of having everything in a timely manner, with logic and rationality of a machine and an efficiency that deconstructs what we feel about what we have in hand, and not only when it comes to information, but also expanding this funnel and bringing our life experiences.
I come to tell you that it is not possible to have logic and reason applied if there is also no inclusion of emotion and feeling within the solution of something in life, whether the situation is a problem, a learning experience or whatever it is that it experiences in human existence , according to the neuroscientist Prof. António Damasio, who is dedicated to brain studies with the relationship of human emotions.
Such speed that is given to us today by various forms of consumption of the present times, which is not a bad thing in itself, but which can generate superficiality by excluding several stages, and one of them is precisely what one feels about what after all, the universe of feeling, emotions and the cultivation of feelings lives, was challenged and outdated in the face of a universe that prioritizes the way of thinking and its power of speed in reasoning of logic, just the energy of logic and reasoning established by patriarchy , excluding feeling.
I will draw a parallel between these speeds that I believe are communicated and talked about, such as the speed of information, the speed of relationships and the speed of interactions, whether they are also and not just sexual.
In an interview with Isto É, Polish sociologist and philosopher Zygmunt Bauman says that “Times are 'liquid' because everything changes so quickly. Nothing is made to last, to be 'solid'. ” It also states that:
“Speed, however, is not conducive to thinking, at least to long-term thinking. Thought demands pause and rest, “taking your time”, recapping the steps already taken, examining more closely the point reached and the wisdom (or recklessness, if any) of having reached it. "
I share these thoughts of two scholars from different areas and in an exchange in the form of free thinking about these speeds (of information and relational) and about the efficient brain of logic and almost free of emotions at the level of experience for a simple factor that determines what I do in my work with Tantra, which is the cadence, the ability to have time to practice.
In the past, a lot of time was required, proximity to the few, deepening in stages, incursion of a whole way of life, and you cannot have for yourself through 5 or 10 topics such as having an ideal relationship, an ideal orgasm, a man / ideal woman, if there is not a long way inward that culminates in extension to the other (s). The topics can guide, obviously, and even “shorten” the path that is your best path, as has already been happening at the extraordinary speed of propagation of information, but if there is no intercourse within what you want, the waters where you bathe will always be shallow.
If in the old way they don't study themselves, with daily attention and didactics, they didn't know each other in depth to know who they are and what they want. If they do not learn in depth about any subject that interests them, they run the risk of obtaining superficial information on any topic. If they are not willing to take steps to change the way they feel their emotions or even their pleasure, they will never have their bodies sublime and complete, and I emphasize here with "their bodies", the aspects and various levels of it.
The social liquidity defended by the sociologist Bauman, draws a fragile parallel where that same fluidity and speed in establishing a connection is as mild as holding the water firmly. There is nothing there to hold, there is nothing there that is solid for your tactile satisfaction, or for your mind that neglects what your body feels and does not interpret it with the logical mind.
Do you want to live the life of a Tantric? Do you want to relate to the consciousness of a Tantric? Want to feel pleasure like a Tantric? Sit, breathe, first observe and feel before getting up and going in any direction, as there are many. And believe me, none of these paths can be wrong or wrong if you feel yourself, and, in stages, search for all the knowledge that is made available to you, on a practical and intellectual level. Do not shorten the path for yourself, enjoy every space of time, each curve between one limb and another, each taste, each cell and each smell. Learn about yourself, be calm and know that the power of the seed is always to be the tree.
Do not speed up the space between you and your world, they will find each other if this is your search path, take ownership of you in all your potential and time, the longer the gap between you and your path, the longer your life will be, and not in terms of longevity, but in terms of presence. Do not be accelerated by anxiety, the encounter is inevitable.
