“This is the shock of the 63rd Siddhi – that doubt is Truth. This is a deep let down for your questing spirit. It is the ultimate state of failure and dejection.
If logic is allowed free reign it will always cancel out logic and conquer itself. In this sense all yoga can only ever lead to is tantra. This does not in any way negate the value of the spirit of inquiry that propels the seeker of Truth.
All male paths must eventually lead to the ocean of the feminine. The more logic is
followed, the more mysterious and poetic it seems to become – until it reaches the impasse that logic cannot move beyond. Logic and its human counterpart – doubt are designed to self-destruct, taking you the observer with them. When doubt is trusted at such a profound level,the doubter disappears into the doubt, leaving Truth. However, there is no sequential process to this – Truth is there all along within the doubt. It is simply waiting to be realized, like a pearl within an oyster. It needn’t be pried out, but simply recognized. If you follow a sequential and linear path that ends in this recognition or enlightenment, the path itself has no bearing on the enlightenment, even though it appears to.”
