PURITY

I wish that practising was not
So different from preaching
john Godfrey saxe, Wishing

Purity is defined in many ways by those who purpose to know exactly what it is. Such definitions of purity are similar to definitions of sanity or normality. These states of mind have broad areas in which the individual may be different but still within the range of any required practice and function. Purity here is broadly defined as keeping strictly to the purpose stated. Thus, a person who wishes to join in the above rituals will need to keep the definitions, methods, focus, goals, openness, etc., in mind and not move away from them into the listed counter-indications. Moving away from the focus on the Tantra, the ritual, the Path, is impurity.

The rituals, the Tantra, the Path is as defined here. These are not Catholic rituals, nor are they Methodist rituals, and they cannot be Joe rituals. This is not Astrological Tantra, it is not Pranayama Tantra, and it cannot be George Tantra. It is certainly permitted for anyone who wishes to set up a Path of study based on Carol Tantra but that will not be THIS Path of study and will be a contamination that will prevent the effectiveness of this Path from coming forth. Until the student joins this Path and moves away from the past and from other Paths, they will be ineffective in their efforts and will contaminate those who are moving into purity.

This is not to say that other Paths are not valid. Nor is it to say that Carol Tantra is not maybe a better Path. This is up to the individual to determine. After all, I'm writing the book on this Path and certainly believe in what is written here. Yes, that means I do believe it is possible that Carol Tantra could be better, or any other Tantric Path. I have not found this to date and it is possible that this Path, Kundalini Tantra is the best available at present, however, what is best for one person is not always best for another so each must decide for themselves. When you have studied this Path and fully assimilated the opportunities provided by the practice of the specific methods defined, it is certainly permissible to start up your own Tantric study group and teach as you see fit. Please don't, however, do this after a quick reading of this and a little "fairy magic" exercising to fluff through to the end of the books. You'll just be embarrassed by your inability to accomplish what you say you are able to do.

Purity also comes from avoiding the influence of your first and second brain circuits. The first circuit lives in fear and a need to dominate. This need to dominate represents a desire for security and is passed on to the Ego (your second brain circuit) which has more ability to communicate and to demand special treatment. You have only the first brain circuit, the Biosurvival Circuit, during your first year of life. This circuit is very primitive and allows the child to survive but only with the help of adults. The second brain circuit (the Ego) begins to function at about the age of 16 to 18 months. The Ego and the Biosurvival brain circuits are the only brain circuits functioning until about the age of 5 or 6 years. At that time, the Rational brain circuit begins to function and the child becomes teachable for complex subjects including math, language skills, philosophy, sociology, and ultimately, anything the University may offer.

Some problems with the first and second brain circuits are that they have serious needs for domination and control, they live in fear and anger, and the Ego in particular is taught shame, blame, and criticism. These two brain circuits are the source of the forbidden emotions outlined earlier. When sexuality is dominated by the Ego, it becomes little more than an exercise in control and domination. Little enjoyment comes from such selfish sexuality and the impurity involved is extremely damaging to the Tantric who is learning to practice purity.
