Host Michael W. Taft talks with Tantric scholar and teacher Christopher Wallis about the English word “enlightenment” and Sanskrit language. The difference between awakening and liberation. Karma, Samskara, and a deep unconscious. The importance of Shiva-oriented practices and the inclusion of Shakti, Abhinabagupta teachings, and the centrality of embodied awakening.
