@St_Rev Probably… if tantra is an accurate reflection of reality, it will be rediscovered. Continuity would save time&effort though. -
@Meaningness Some of it has been absorbed into Western hermeticism, I think. Could be wrong though. -
@St_Rev Yes, via Crowley, e.g., but mostly only the Hindu version, which I think is fundamentally wrong :-( -
@Meaningness Too bad we can't test for meme spatter. -
@St_Rev Now there is a phrase to conjure with! (What does it mean?) -
@Meaningness I DON'T EVEN KNOW -
@St_Rev Not to worry: it’s such a cool phrase, it must mean something! -

@Meaningness "We found traces of neo-Platonism in the vic's cerebral cortex." "So..." *sunglasses* "...the Plotinus thickens." EEYEAAAAAAH
