Eden Present • Seattle Tantra
The Biblical story of the Garden of Eden is a classic tale of human conditioning and the circumvention of "God's will". Just like Adam and Eve, the clothing that we wear is symbolic of the programmed and conditioned state that we live in. Adam and Eve hid from God, they felt ashamed of their nakedness. Most of us live in that reality, and Tantra is a way to regain some of the bliss and joy of paradise in this lifetime.
For example, through the exertion of what is called "will" (actually functionally the opposite of true will) we feel as if we can "control" our body temperature and its response to the environment. While the rest of the sentient life on the planet adapt to their environment, we have circumvented this adaptation in favor of control, or the exertion of the false "will".

"Enlightenment" is the true nature of each person, there is nothing to seek, learn, or experience to "get there" we are already there, the experience requires only that we wake up to that absolute reality.
