>Do they use scientific reasoning to focus some particular attribute of consciousness and meditate on that? Do they do energy work?
Tantra is a different type of science/technology than we are used to.
Yes they do "energy work" but even this combination of words has come to mean it's own thing.
It is very existential and energy oriented.
I can't tell you exactly what tantrics do exactly because it depends on the user.
If you ask me, it is like the electricity, the light, the void, the water, and the fire all rolled onto one. From there it depends on who is using it

Also if you can understand pic rel then I think u will be closer to what you seek
This book is all entirely "metaphysics"
U have to truly understand women to get this stuff, but as soon as u think u know, it changes

Hey Lit
I want to get into the Devi Mahatmya and similar texts. I heard Swami Jagadiswarananda is a great translation

Is there any other similar texts you could recommend, alongside anything you've found to be good english translations?
I'm interested in Shakti and Kali right now, and I'll be branching out from there


Thanks!
