Mantras: Step 1 - Purpose and Intention – (1543)

Logos

“The Logos sounds” Master Samael says.

In Greek the word ‘logos’ means ‘word’ or ‘plan’. Logos also come to mean the “word of God” and it is also known in other contexts as the principle of divine reason and creative order.

All of the above meanings are significant and relate to one another. They are all aspects of the one and same thing: universal sound.

The Logos was the one that created Master Samael said. This is because the word creates and as the Logos is the word, it was the Logos that created.

For there to be any kind of creation there must first of all be the reason to create. So the Logos had a reason, a purpose and an intention to create.


Mantras are there to Create

When we chant a mantra we wish to create something. So, in that moment we are acting like a mini Logos.

Just as the Logos infused Its intention to create through sound and its intelligence through the word we have to do the same.

If there was no intention or cause or reason to create then the sound and the word of the Logos would not have reached its effect, that is causing creation to erupt from within the bosom of the Absolute.


No Purpose = Mechanical and No Creation

If we don’t have a purpose or an intention to vocalise a mantra the practice of chanting the mantra will become mechanical, and most certainly results will seldom arrive that way.

Creation is ordered and intelligent and if we don’t put a purpose and intention into the mantra or the sound that we make we can not for a second expect to create something ordered.

This is why sound creates geometry, because there is an intelligence moving through it.

End (1543).
