Westernization has a tremendous ability to reshape and transform the basic nature of any concept or idea. One of the major effects is the filtering of various images to fit a certain context which can be understood by the western mind. Tantra, like many of the Eastern Philosophies, has been deeply impacted by the extraction of the tradition from Indian soil. As it was carried out of its native culture and brought into the western world, much of the tradition was blurred and the basic science was lost. When we speak of Tantra, the immediate image that comes to the forefront of our thoughts is sex. This is not something to be ashamed of as it is quiet natural for a western to directly associate Tantra with sex. But we must understand that the act of sex is only one of many devices in the spiritual science known as Tantra.
