Uniting the Masculine and the Feminine through Tantra of Sound
As we approach the crossroads of our evolutionary development, which many of the various sacred traditions tell us will be occurring in the near future, we find that different models or archetypes must emerge. The current archetypes that we have dealt with in our psyche, and have manifested in the physical for many thousands of years has resulted in war and suffering. We suggest it is possible to choose a different model based upon harmony, balance, cooperation and compassion. This model exists in the various myths, legends and spiritual texts of the planet representing both strength and goodness. It is not necessary to be weak in order to be kind, although currently, we often confuse and equate these two adjectives.
The model of Tantra of Sound
Despite seeming to be new to many, this archetype has existed since the beginning. Balanced relationships have manifested through many of the divine beings in different cultures who generate loving kindness, from Shiva and Shakti in the Hindu tradition to Avalokitesvara and Tara in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, and to Jesus and Mary Magdalene in the Christian tradition. These energies may be understood as being divine entities and their consorts, or priest and high priestess who work together in the sacred loving unity of the Divine. These male and female energies are found within us individually, and also created through partnership. We are not talking about gender separation here, but rather about the balanced energies of the internalized masculine and feminine.
The uniting of masculine and feminine energies is found in tantra, which utilizes the symbolic male/female union within as a meditative form to assist in achieving enlightenment. A tantric practitioner concentrates on expanding all levels of consciousness in order to unveil and experience the supreme reality of God. This is done through symbolically uniting the two opposite energies of the male and female (in Sanskrit, the “Siva-Sakti” energy). Through tantra, one can overcome the “maya” or illusion of separateness, which manifest in lower levels of consciousness creating the polarity of male and female. True reality—the Absolute—is non dualistic. It encompasses unifying the masculine and feminine aspects within our selves so that we may transcend into the oneness of the Divine.
We believe that this paradigm of harmonious and balanced male/female energy is necessary for our continued journey down the evolutionary road. We have reached the place in our development where the use of our technology must be tempered with the wisdom of loving kindness.
Tantra of Sound assists in the integration of this important paradigm of relationship for the benefit of both personal and planetary acceleration.

I feel that in this third dimensional reality there are really three polarities, Male, Female, and Neutral. All three exist inside each one of us. As humans we are attempting to balance out this trinity of consciousness that exists inside of us. The dividing line between each of the polarities is not easily defined and is rather collectively defuse in each individual. In relationships we attempt to balance out these polarities as well as when we make love to our partner. As we merge consciousness with our partner the separation between two of the polarities temporarily ceases to be and we experience what we choose to call orgasm. At this point you can not tell where one person ends and the other begin. You basically merge into the neutral phase of the polarities. To a certain extent in enlightenment you merge all three of these polarities inside yourself and maintain the conscious realization even when you are not merged with your partner. However your partner has become the Divine inside of yourself instead of merging with your partner outside yourself.
