Library's review
Sexuality and spiritual experience have raditionally been linked in the literature of mysticism. Religious ecstasy seems strikingly similar to erotic excitement in the accounts of saints and holy people who have spoken of enlightenment in language based on sexual images. Terms like 'rapture,'
The common element between sexual and spiritual experience, of course, is consciousness.

They are no longer locked in the prison of ego, no longer in conflict with the world.
In some of the writings of the erotic mystics, we learn of techniques that can be systematically employed to alter consciousness toward that much-sought state, erotic mysitcism. The best known is tantra,
The explicit aim of Mumford's book is consciousness-expansion and spiritual illumination. It is solidliy based on love between sexual partners. It recognizes that many of the so-called sexually liberated have entered an emotional void because mechanics alone don't achieve magick. attitude or inner stance is paramount, and this book firmly ties illumination to the sacralization of sex. It emphasizes that the magical work of tantra is to transform the individual partners into divine lovers/lovers of the divine.
Ecstasy Through Tantra is not for the squeamish, the ascetic or those preoccupied with erotic thrills. It is for those who, accepting human sexuality as a means to a spiritual end, want first-rate instruction in lovemaking.-John White What is Enlightenment? and Frontiers of Consciousness
