This is yet another video of the Heart Sutra of Perfect Wisdom being sung, this one is very beautiful, and it. . . I can't express how peaceful this makes me feel.

"Mantra" means to deliver the mind. Sometimes people think Buddhism is a nihilistic or voidist set of philosophies, but this is a most ignorant view. Not all Buddhists are necessarily spiritual, but many I am sure have attained reality, and theirs is a path of sublime beauty.

I've been studying The Mother and Sri Aurobindo among others, and one thing I learned from The Mother which is very important is a point about our health. . . she says you will actually rarely find a person with a disturbed mind but a beautiful body, because the mind and the body are connected. . . and so we must all realize that mantra, studying, meditation, chanting, singing, and true practice of varying kinds-- these are all incredibly potent. It requires faith, and. . . association with pure devotees is so incredibly potent. The Mother writes among other things that spiritual consciousness is a reversal of our normal consciousness. I actually have a great deal to share, and I will try to be more active around here, but the main thing I have for now is just to start practicing yoga!!! And Tai Chi. And practice mantra and you will be dovetailed towards liberation.

    It makes sense - the mind and body are connected. I wish I could get away from the belief system I was indoctrinated with and be able to practice what you blog about it. Of course, right now I am just wishing and not really doing anything about it, so that doesn't do me any good. However, I have read books and articles describing what you speak of, and I used to see a healer who was spoke to me about mediation and visualization - we did the healing white light exercise. I guess it did some good, but there always seems to be this voice in the back of my head sort of discounting what I'm reading and when I was with the healer and I wish it would SHUT UP sometimes and let me embrace something that is healthier.

    Once again one of my favorite words is mentioned. FAITH. To have true faith is one of the first steps to actualising anything. The ability to have true faith means that you have cast out the doubt or negativity. I meditate myself through pain, and therefore am able to withstand higher degrees of pain. The ability to block out the rest of the world is a wonderful level to achieve serenity. Another wonderful entry my friend. I smile at the words you write. B

    It absolutely has to be your own path, and it also has to be from within you. You can't acquire peace externally from a healer. You might study about it, study and study, learn a great deal, but still not be much more at peace, but then, there is something that will absolutely do it for you. And then, again of course, B-Mental is absolutely right about faith. As long as you can get to have faith in yourself, this ought to be the complete solution. It doesn't really matter what system of beliefs, they are all wrong. :) Ultimately whatever feels right is probably the way to go, and again, it must be one's own path, no one else's. It can't be forced-- but then, consider, that we are always being forced by [i]something[/i]. As Bob Dylan says, it might be the Devil or it might be the Lord, but we have to serve somebody. Anyway, just some thoughts. Write again soon.
