A description of the feelings during Mantra Meditation. During mantra meditation, I feel that I am creating a self-referral aspect to my existence. Or put another way, I am becoming conscious of my own existence and therefore changing the intelligence or energy, which I am made up of, into a self-referred intelligence, which has the effect of making this intelligence, intelligent. When intelligence knows itself it can choose to change and adapt and evolve. I feel like a magnetic field or a gyroscope i.e. energy turning on itself, which creates its own stability or reference point from which to view the world. I look upon the mantra like a piece of magnet stroking another piece of metal. With each stroke of the magnet, the atoms or parts of the atoms start to line up in the metal and produce another magnet with positive at one end and negative at the other. Consider using the popular Mantra "Ohm". If you say this out laud you can feel the resonance effect of it throughout your chest and body. It is the quality of this vibration, which enlivens ones awareness and expands consciousness. In the same way the vibration quality of the mantra has a similar effect on the energy fields in the body. It creates orderliness in the atoms and creates this field of energy, which expands my consciousness, and I can feel building up within my body. Some people may call this energy field, charisma or a magnetic personality. I just think of it as having a strong spirit or aligning myself with the universal spirit. What we are doing is taking randomly placed atoms in our body and making them orderly and lined up - a bit like the difference between a light bulb and a laser beam. The world needs to know its own nature. If this happens we will see a growing harmony and peace in the world. |
