15: Tantra: Sex, Death, & Chaos (w/Alex Auder)

For decades, Neo-Tantra has focused on sex workshops and orgasmic bliss, overlooking the fact that the Kama Sutra is effectively a patriarchal instruction manual as well as Tantra’s grassroots origins in the lower castes in Indian society, which were responding to lofty metaphysical ideas with practical rituals everyone could partake in. From that perspective, a modern industry marketed with Shiva-Shakti figurines is yet another example of capitalist yoga in a privileged society. Derek opens this week discussing a redpilled-lite video by Danielle LaPorte, while Julian discusses an intensely personal story related to Tantra; he also explores the role of the Aghoris. We break from Tantra talk during Matthew’s interview with Alex Auder, a veteran yoga instructor who uses comedy as a relief mechanism from the QAnon craziness in the yoga world. Matthew ends this week’s episode with a reflection on his history with Tibetan Buddhist Tantra, and how he sees echoes of its archaic elements showing up, in undigested form, in the QAnon imaginarium. Show Notes Danielle LaPorte’s video How tantric sex trains people to have more intense orgasms, and why it’s so controversial The Mysterious Death of a Tantric Sex Guru Sex Messiah: A Tantric Odyssey Not for the Faint of Heart: The Aghori and Their Unorthodox Path to Enlightenment Reza Aslan (almost) loses his head Yoga: An Evolving Story Of Cross-Cultural Innovation Julian Feeld at the Hollywood Blvd QAnon rally -- -- -- Support us on Patreon Pre-order Conspirituality: How New Age Conspiracy Theories Became a Health Threat: America | Canada Follow us on Instagram | Twitter: Derek | Matthew | Julian Original music by EarthRise SoundSystem Learn more about your ad choices.
