- [Towards a political economy of enlightenment](http://files.howtolivewiki.com/.meditation_2015/towards%20a%20political%20economy%20of%20enlightenment.pdf) - My own path was [[tantra]] - the skull kind, not the other kind. Actually there is no other kind: Californian-style “tantra” does none of the necessary root-chakra stabilisation work (i.e. the icky work of dealing with death) before it moves on to the “fun” sexuality stuff. - But that stuff does absolutely nothing of spiritual value if the death work is not performed first, because unconscious [[fear]]s around death will result in permanent addiction to sensuality, rather than a passage through and beyond sensuality, eventually towards immortality.
