Over the last few months I have been rekindling my Love for Tibetan Mantras and Music.<\/p>\n

Their Beauty, Wisdom and Grace, Brighten my Presence.<\/p>\n

In the Western Atheistic rejection of Religion we have lost much of the Traditional Beauty that Fully Culturally Integrated Religion possessed.<\/p>\n

Music, Art, Dance, Prayer, Ritual, Ceremony, Work, Meaning and Purpose were all…One.<\/p>\n

This is transition, however, is completely Natural.<\/p>\n

Life’s Evolutionary Developmental force moves through Phases of Differentiation and Integration.<\/p>\n

And the coming decades will see the mainstream leaving the Spiritually Meaningless Wasteland of Self-Contracted Modern Rationality and Post-Modern Deconstructionism…<\/p>\n

Towards a new Paradigm of Trans-Lineage Spirituality bringing us into complete Harmony and Union with the Ultimate, Truth, Beauty and Goodness of the Universe that always already has been and always already will be regardless of our Recognition.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, as William Gibson said, “the Future is already here, it’s just not distributed yet”.<\/p>\n

You don’t have to wait decades. The innovators are now planting the seeds for the coming Transformation.<\/p>\n

Below is a link to one of the most famous Tibetan Mantras and the Dalai Lama’s commentary on its Wisdom and Practice.<\/p>\n

—————————————————————————————–<\/p>\n

H.H. Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama, “On the meaning of: OM MANI PADME HUM”<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bbgHZWwyhcQ<\/a><\/p>\n

“It is very good to recite the mantra Om mani padme hum, but while you are doing it, you should be thinking on its meaning, for the meaning of the six syllables is great and vast. The first, Om symbolizes the practitioner’s impure body, speech, and mind; it also symbolizes the pure exalted body, speech, and mind of a Buddha”<\/p>\n

“The path is indicated by the next four syllables. Mani, meaning jewel, symbolizes the factors of method: (the) altruistic intention to become enlightened, compassion, and love.”<\/p>\n

“The two syllables, padme, meaning lotus, symbolize wisdom[…]”
\n“Purity must be achieved by an indivisible unity of method and wisdom, symbolized by the final syllable hum, which indicates indivisibility”<\/p>\n

“Thus the six syllables, om mani padme hum, mean that in dependence on the practice of a path which is an indivisible union of method and wisdom, you can transform your impure body, speech, and mind into the pure exalted body, speech, and mind of a Buddha”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
