What is REPRESSION?
Repression is to live a life that you were not meant to live.
Repression is to do things which you never wanted to do.
Repression is to be the fellow that you are not.
Repression is a way to destroy yourself.
Repression is suicide - very slow, of course,
but a very certain, slow poisoning.
Expression is life, repression is suicide.

This is the Tantra message:
DON'T LIVE A REPRESSED LIFE,
OTHERWISE YOU LIVE NOT AT ALL.
Live a life of expression, creativity, joy.
Live the way God wanted you to live, live the natural way.

AND DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE PRIESTS.
Listen to your instincts, listen to your body,
listen to your heart, listen to your intelligence.
Depend on yourself.

GO WHEREVER YOUR SPONTANEITY TAKES YOU,
and you will never be at a loss.
And going spontaneously with your natural life,
one day you are bound to arrive at the doors of the divine.

YOUR NATURE IS GOD WITHIN YOU.
The pull of that nature is God's pull within you.
Don't listen to the poisoners,
listen to the pull of nature.

Yes, nature is not enough - there is a higher nature too.
BUT THE HIGHER COMES THROUGH THE LOWER;
the lotus grows out of the mud.
Through the body grows the soul.
Through sex grows samadhi.
