there is something for everybody
What
is Aghora Tantra? Robert Svoboda wrote about his teacher, Vimalananda,
in several books, and he was an Aghora Tantric, yogis known to eat human
flesh, conjure magical powers and perform "crazy wisdom." Here is a
short explanation Shrii Shrii Anandamurtijii about the three paths of
Tantra, including Aghora or the Left-hand path.
"The terrifying form of Shiva is called Aghoranatha. Aghoriis or those
that follow the path of Aghora are generally Vámácárii Tantrics
[Tantrics of the left-hand path]. None of them are Madhyamácárii
[Tantrics of the middle path] or Dakśińácárii [Tantrics of the
right-hand path]. It is said that they do not discriminate between
edible and non-edible food. For this reason many people are afraid of
them and try to avoid them. It would not be correct to say that all
Vámácárii Tantrics are Avidyá Tantrics. Among them one will find
both Vidyá Tantrics and Avidyá Tantrics. Towards the end of the
Buddhist era, this Aghora path could be found alongside the Vajrayána
and Kálacakrayána. Some people believe that when the Vajrayána and
Kálacakrayána fell under the influence of Hinduism, the Aghora path
certainly also fell under that same influence, but this is not so.
Though the Aghora path does not follow the Buddhist doctrine, neither
are its followers, followers of the Vedas. Rather they are clearly
opposed to the Vedas. In Hindi and throughout north India, the followers
of Aghora are called aoghaŕ." (written by Rameshjii)

Wisdom Without Words - Come from Inner Silence
The Paradox of Meditation – The Paradox of Meditation – practiced from a Non-Ego Intention
Wisdoms: ”Because "the ultimate" is devoid of any innate Nature, Mediation as such does not exist. The act of meditation is not meditation. Because it is neither substance nor nothingness, meditation cannot be a conceivable reality.”~Kalachakra Tantra
“Grasp the paradoxes my sons and daughters! There is not so much a mote of dust upon which to meditate, but it is crucial to sustain unwavering attention with presence of mind.” ~Shabkar, Tibetan Master
“To realize the inexpressible truth, do not manipulate mind or body but simply open into transparency with relaxed and natural grace.”
~Tilopa -10th Century – Song of Naropa
“In a pellucid ocean, bubbles arise and dissolve again. Just so, thoughts are no different from ultimate reality, so don’t find fault, remain at ease. Whatever arises, whatever occurs, don’t grasp and release it on the spot.”
~Niguma, 11th century Female Master
“Don’t keep searching for the truth – just let go of your opinion.”
~The Buddha
“Biased attitude are the factor which binds one. The meaning of non-duality occurs when you are free of opinions and transcend clinging to extremes. There is no other way to disclose this. You can’t see it by looking for it. Nor can you find it through logical analysis. Calling it “this” doesn’t reveal it, so in relation to the natural state, don’t fetter, or liberate it, with a grasping mind.” ~Longchenpa
“If you expect your mind to be up and down, you mind will be more peaceful.” ~Lama Thubten Yeshe
