RentMen:
What distinguishes you from all the other people you know?
Mark_Tantra:
lol - I spent SO much of my life trying to fade into the background where there was relative safety - iNTj here.
I'm told that my incandescence makes me stand out - it's likely more accurate to accept the opinions of others rather than my own on this but after it was pointed out to me I became much more aware of both it and it's reflection coming back to me
RentMen:
What is your specialty?
Mark_Tantra:
Sharing / providing intentional boundlessly loving touch to men
RentMen:
Tell us about the best experience you have had in life.
Mark_Tantra:
Wow - hard question. There are a too many to list a brief sample. 1. Being homeless 35 years ago and finding vast peace, perfection, embodied connection for many moments of every day; 2. Being a parking attendant 35 years ago and finding a way to transmit love to each customer for the brief seconds they were engaged with me while they paid me to leave; 3. a deep awakening experience at a tantra retreat in Aug 2021 fomented by boundless love and a deluge of grace that hasn't since left me; 4. this morning's yoga practice; 5. this moment of awareness before I've had a thought about it.
RentMen:
What would you say are your greatest attributes?
Mark_Tantra:
My tantra teachers have pointed out how distorted my own self image is so this question is a good practice for me to honour those things I appreciate in myself.
My deeply loving heart, my generous helpful spirit, my open curious attitude to life and people, my finely tuned intuition, my respect for truth above all, my persistent openness to realizing my true nature, my ability to transform more easily than many, my gifts with healing transformative touch, my increasing ability to be as compassionate with myself as I am to others
Taking a moment to absorb that and be with it ... much to my surprise my ego isn't inflating, it's fading in response and I feel the deepest humility and gratitude rising in my heart ... always learning from my teachers and others - especially when they tell me things I don't like to hear ... namaste
