InPresence 0018: Tantra with Jeffrey Mishlove

InPresence host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). For many years he served as president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people were supported and encouraged in developing inner intuitive abilities.

Here he explores the Tantric tradition especially as it pertains to the acquisition of psi abilities. He describes Tantra as a disciplined approach to experiment with societal taboos. He contrasts it with more mainstream forms of spirituality that warn against the deliberate cultivation of psychic abilities, for various reasons. He advocates a middle path that appreciates both approaches.
