Neo-Tantrism is a term created by Georg Feuerstein in order to distinguish between 'traditional' (i.e. historical) tantric teachings and the outpourings of the contemporary 'new age' movement.

Ignorant of the Truth within himself, the fool is infatuated with books, like the dull-witted shepherd who searches for a goat in the well when it is in its enclosure.
Verbal knowledge is of no use for overcoming the delusions of the world, just as darkness does not cease to exist merely by talking about a lamp.
