Sanskrit Mantra Post 2 - (765)

Introduction

Here is a short post about mantras and how Sanskrit fits in when it comes to mantras.


Mantras

The word mantra is a compound word made up of the two words manas and tra.

So then we have manas meaning mind and tra coming from the Snaskrit word for ‘to try’ – ‘free from’.

In effect the word mantra which is a Sanskrit word, means a tool or artifice used by the mind to free one from the mind, or in other words, a tool that the essence can get the mind of the person to recite to get the same essence free from the mind.


Spiritual Formulas

Mantras are spiritual formulas that produce specific kinds of results. Some mantras have been hidden for many thousands of years and now and then they escape from within their veil of secrecy to become known to those needing special tools to fulfil special purposes.

Master Samael certainly revealed many special mantras to help us in many ways.


Sanskrit Mantra

Hebrew and Sanskrit are two very special languages, because they are energy based or sound based. They are different to the Western languages such as English, Spanish, German etc. which are meaning based. That is sounds that mean something, rather than sounds that do something as it is with Sanskrit and Hebrew.


Because Sanskrit is a energy based language many of the Sanskrit mantras can not be translated. The mantras can only be recited and felt and from there we can learn what they do , but to break down the Sanskrit word into English words sometimes is just possible because Sanskrit is not a meaning based language.

It has been said that the use of mantras in Sanskrit dates back 7000 to 8000 years ago. It is laos said that Sanskrit mantra was used before writing came to be used.

Because Sanskrit is an energy based language it is effectively and when one recite a mantra one is tapping into the same building blocks that made creation possible.


Conclusion

Because sound made creation possible, the building blocks so to speak of creation are in sound. So each mantra is a building block of creation or has a function in creation. Every mantra creates, though in very different ways. Some mantras destroy, though in doing so they are creating.

Attention with Mind, Attention with Essence - (5197)

These two attentions are different. Attention with the mind tires the brain. and reduces the flow of life into steps, where it is inevitable that the narration of the mind begins to take over. With the awareness of steps comes a certain tediousness and the feeling of the flow of life leaving us behind. With the attention of mind very little of what's behind events comes to us... Attention with the essence brings the power of presence, in other words brings a certain depth and continuity of flow  Attention with the essence doesn't tire or strain and opens doorways into perceiving what is behind events and the thoughts and feelings that appear within us. It allows us also to flow with the flow of life, which is a pleasant feeling. Conclusion, make the essence bring attention to outer and inner life. End (5197).

The Sacred Substance Askokin - (962)

Introduction In simple terms, the sacred Askokin substance is the result of the mercury and the sulphur. It is the transmuted energy that crystallises to form the internal bodies (astral, mental and causal). In other words, it is the transmutation of our sexual energies. The Abrustdonis’ and ‘Helkdonis that Gurdjieff mentions in the excerpt below, taken from “Belzeebub’s Tales to His Grandson” are none other than the elements of mercury and the sulphur so spoken about in Alchemy. Excerpt on the Sacred Substance Askokin “I first learned that the destiny of beings arising on this planet of yours is chiefly to elaborate—by means of the process of their existence—the vibrations required by Nature for the maintenance of those former parts of the planet now called Moon and Anulios, when, do you remember, I became worthy personally to converse for the second time with His Conformity the then still Angel, but now Archan...

Wisdom from the Movie “Kingdom of Heaven” - (2168)

Introduction There are some movies that leave you with some pieces of advice that at point or another in your life or in the lives of others prove useful. This movie: “Kingdom of Heaven” was terrible to watch (too many battle scenes and people dying) but offered some very useful messages. In this post, I have presented a few, that have come in handy at point or another. Just to give you a bit of context, the movie is about the crusades, where the French and English were trying to defend the “Holy City” – Jerusalem from Islamic occupation. The topic of religion and God is a constant theme in the movie. It is very violent though, matching it frankly, quite awful to watch. Your Soul is in Your Keeping Alone An interesting dialogue between the French appointed king of Jerusalem and French Knight, the protagonist of the movie. Note, the king wears that metal mask because he has leprosy. King Baldwin I...
