From Mantra to Pure Conciousness

[Eu Sint]

“A mantra is a sacred utterance, a numinous sound, a syllable, word or phonemes or group of words usually in Sanskrit, which is believed to have a spiritual and psychological power. Meaning “tool of thought” in Sanskrit, a mantra is often used in meditation as a way to harness and focus the mind.

Mantra yoga uses repetition and chanting of mantras to encourage the mind to enter into a meditative state, A mantra is used in many religions and schools of thought, including Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, Sikhism and Transcendental Meditation.The word mantra can be broken down into two parts: “man,” which means mind, and “tra,” which means transport or vehicle. In other words, a mantra is an instrument of the mind—a powerful sound or vibration that you can use to enter a deep state of meditation. “

Through this simple scheme I will show you how we must work with a mantra to deep dive in your conciousness.

Stage I 

By maintaining constant vigilance and by focusing attention on a single point, In our case, mentally uttering the mantra ,we can reach the last stage where, the mantra itself must be excluded from our practice.

T  = thoughts

M  = mantra

 1.-T T T M T T T M T T T M

 2.-T T M M T T M M T T M.M

3.-T M M M  T M M M T M M M

4.-M M M M M  T M M M M M

5.-M M M M M M M M M M M

 

Stage II

In this advance stage only the mantra itself remains. At this moment, because your attention has always been focused only on the mantra, you will have to make a radical shifting .From being focused only on the mantra,  now you must focusing  only on the pause/ gap/ , that exists between two mental utterances of the mantra. In this phase we can introduce the use of psychedelics,If we want to advance quickly in our practice, and for a better stabilization in this inner peace.From now on , what you are going to do is  a immersion and deep absorption in the mental void/ silence, by removing the mantra.Now your meditation will look like this:

S  = silence

M  = mantra

1.-M M M S M M M S M M M

2.-M M S S M M S S M M SS

3.-M S S S M S S S M S S S

4.-S S S S S S M S S S S S S S

5.-S S S S S S S S S S S S S S

 

When we reach the final level of mental tranquility, consciousness will mirror itself perfectly on the still surface of the mind. Thus, by its reflection back, you will be able to realize that you are that reflection.In this way you become aware of your own consciousness, and the great achievement comes spontaneously, You are that Pure Consciousness.
