What do Mantras Do? Post 3 - (766)

Introduction

Mantras essentially work by creating a vibration in the mind. As we mentioned in the previous post mantras are tools for the mind, and it is from there that they work.

Mantras essentially create waves of vibration within the fabric or substance of the mind, and because everything is mind these waves begin to influence the body and the subtle bodies or any part of ourselves for that matter that the mind has access to influence.


Mantras Create Vibrations

Mantras are sounds and sound is vibration so mantras create vibration that permeates the body and the cells, and with our absence of thought and the presence of focus these vibrations move through the mind and create one great wave or vibration in the mind that unifies the mind and then as the mind is unified all the vibrations of our system follow suit and become unified.



The Effects of Mantra

Mantras create a very particular physical and subtle body type of vibration, which produces effects in our bodies. These effects can be understood as the meaning or function of the mantra.

Activate and Increases Prana

Chanting a mantra activates one’s prana and actually energizes one’s level of prana. Sound is the agent of creation and everything in creation or in life is in movement and is therefore making one or another sort of sound. Therefore making ourselves to vibrate in unison with one particular sound can only increase our energy, just as exercise or psychological and esoteric practice increases our energy.

Energetic Progress Towards the Spiritual

Chanting spiritually beneficial mantras initiates an energetic process within one’s psychological and esoteric structure, whereby if one works psychologically one can make an energetic progress towards the good or towards the spiritual.

Quieten the Mind

Mantras can help us to achieve a state of concentration. Our minds are not one pointed, though with the help of a mantra and our focus the waves of the mantra in our mind can become so powerful that they make our mind to vibrate in unison with, thus achieving a one pointedness or stillness.
Mantras even have the power to make our subconscious quiet.

There are even particular mantras to quieten the mind. Such a mantra is WU.


Effects Increase with Intention

The effects of a mantra increase very logically with our mental intention. When we focus our attention and intention onto the chanting of a mantra the effect is heightened, and it is this way that we can bring about the effect of the mantra.


They Work no Matter What

Sanskrit mantra is about real spiritual energies and forces, mantras are a science and they are not about religion, dogma, beliefs and things like that.

Mantras work with or without our belief in them. This is because they or activate invoke real spiritual forces. They only downfall is that we do not perceive their effects, and this is why we say that they don’t work.

Furthermore the effects of the mantras are all the same.


Like Fire

Mantras are like fire in a way. They in their purest form invoke powerful energies that if we are not in the correct state to receive them we can do ourselves some harm, in the sense that a clash is produced within us.


Not Affirmations

Mantras are not affirmations as we know them in the west. Affirmations are statements that are designed to program or train the subconscious mind, so to help the subconscious believe or think or process impressions in positive and more convenient manner, for example to take things without fear or to put into the subconscious the belief that one can handle oneself in the difficult situation and times rather than resorting to fear.

Mantras rather activate and or invoke spiritual faculties, abilities and forces that are independent of our subconscious.


Final Note

Because mantras work with energy they can dislodge or unblock things in our bodies and they can move energies throughout the body activating certain faculties and centres of energy and function.

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...
