"This is an effective mantra that reverses black magic to the spell caster, it reverses bad karma and malicious intentions of others."

"A powerful and simple 8 syllables mantra to defeat enemies and keep all bad intentions away from you. Cleanses your spiritual space. Calling protection from devas of the higher realms. Listen to sleep.

Learn this mantra and chant it in your mind 9 times when you meet any difficult situations with an opponent or if you have any bad feelings that someone might have ill intentions."

We all have our own way of dealing with negative energies. May yours work with you Brother.

Yes. I was inclined to share because Mantras are like music. Music being vibrations, have a certain ability to affect.

This is in Pali, which is not Sanskrit.

Pali is considered sacred, but is not as old as Sanskrit.

"Pali (/ˈpɑːli/) is a Middle Indo-Aryan liturgical language on the Indian subcontinent. It is widely studied because it is the language of the Buddhist Pāli Canon or Tipiṭaka as well as the sacred language of Theravāda Buddhism."

I hope it helps others who find values in mantras or are interested in learning something new.

I think between chanting the Lord Rama mantra Swami V has provided me, listening to this, praying to God and being around close friends in person- able to hug and vent and laugh, I am feeling all the better.

I think there is a great transition happening in my life behind the scenes I am not able to fully see or understand. There's a sensitivity to others around me, and I seem to be discouraged by the coldness of others from what might just be chalked up as- "city living."

I know the times we find ourselves in there is much strife, and much division- some of the division is perpetuated by the institutions that pretend to fight against it. Our media and politicians keep identity politics alive which is a type of slavery- our system is destructive, and if you try to play their game you will get burnt. I see it as a strategic positioning for the dawning of a new age. I don't think we've reached critical mass, and so- we can expect tough times ahead.

I really think though, this is a continued opportunity to grow closer to the things we believe in. For me, that is practicing kindness. A part of that means dispelling hatred. But sometimes our desire for goodwill can be stamped out by anothers ability to hate- living the drama in their head instead of correctly interpreting events unfolding before them. This is an agitated state that is intentionally exploited.

It has put me a little on edge but I find counting my blessings and practicing the things I've mentioned previously- help reset when going back into the city and being forced to interact with the world.

You talk of city living above; For me it is a bit different, I presently live in the city and go to the countryside everyday I can.

I can relate to your descriptive observations Eric. I have also noticed this coldness you speak of above. Although I do not know that it is any different than it has been my whole life. It is also a part of what I have described in the section on ‘Psychology’ under the child board there and below the heading ‘dharma’ here at our site. There are many forms of ‘mental illness’ there that are ego related. Just different scenes on the canvas of life.

Most likely though Amma had it pretty well described when she saw the root cause of most coldness. It takes an enlightened soul or moment to describe a whole list of present day maladies, symptoms and arising discontent so succinctly that it touches the heart 💜 with its expression. Like a memory of so many life experiences, memories and feelings….

While seeing amma she made the comment that those who give others the silent treatment and stick their nose up in the air actually have a form of mental illness. Sometimes we wonder about ourselves when this treatment is given to us however we should realize that people do practice meanness and this kind of behavior is a result of being so wrapped up in ourselves and our ego that there is only one view; our own.

Thanks Steve. For me, it is different than what it was just 10 years ago. Having grown up in the city with friends of all skin tones and religious or non-religious beliefs, yes- there is a difference being experienced now than what I remember.

But... I have basically come to the same conclusions as Amma. And I am very grateful for your continued support and your insights.

I can pin point all these reasons... But it really comes down to a simplified understanding...

Love or Fear. Kindness or Hatred.

And the question we could all benefit asking ourselves daily- Which one are we choosing?

[guest587]

There's a real miracle to divine timing... The Tuesday I was accosted by a mentally ill person, I received this email. I found it very helpful, but didn't think much of it in the moment. I mean, the timing is impeccable.

Mistaking The World We’ve Made For The Real World
--George Saunders

The instant we wake the story begins: “Here I am. In my bed. Hard worker, good dad, decent husband, a guy who always tries his best. Jeez, my back hurts. Probably from the stupid gym.”

And just like that, with our thoughts, the world gets made.

Or, anyway, a world gets made.

This world-making via thinking is natural, sane, Darwinian: we do it to survive. Is there harm in it? Well, yes, because we think in the same way that we hear or see: within a narrow, survival-enhancing range. We don’t see or hear all that might be seen or heard but only that which is helpful for us to see and hear. Our thoughts are similarly restricted and have a similarly narrow purpose: to help the thinker thrive.

All of this limited thinking has an unfortunate by-product: ego. Who is trying to survive? “I” am. The mind takes a vast unitary wholeness (the universe), selects one tiny segment of it (me), and starts narrating from that point of view. Just like that, that entity (George!) becomes real, and he is (surprise, surprise) located at the exact center of the universe, and everything is happening in his movie, so to speak; it is all, somehow, both for and about him. In this way, moral judgment arises: what is good for George is… good. What is bad for him is bad. (The bear is neither good nor bad until, looking hungry, it starts walking toward George.)

So, in every instant, a delusional gulf gets created between things as we think they are and things as they actually are. Off we go, mistaking the world we’ve made with our thoughts for the real world. Evil and dysfunction (or at least obnoxiousness) occur in proportion to how solidly a person believes that (their) projections are correct and energetically acts upon them.

The support of the great ones who may not be in our physical presence and friends who may not be in a physical proximity, are also a key factor to protection and security in these times. This is what I’ve found in the support of friends such as yourself. Everyone, to some extent lives the drama in their head, and with this recognition comes the understanding that we cannot really trust everything we hear that comes out of the delusion in the people we meet day to day. It is best to keep a witness consciousness and let others live the manifested thoughts of their lives, while we attempt to more and more to be viewiers of  such dramas.

Uwe, that's great if so! Circles within circles, we all seem connected in some way.

Like the flower of life.

Steve, God works in mysterious ways. I guess I should not have deleted my thread, with regards to my disturbing experience not to long ago.

I want to share an update I just recorded in my journal... I am being prompted by the angels, 444, to share this now.

Something incredible has happened. What are the chances ... ?

I went back to the coffee shop where I experienced the violent run in with the mentally disturbed individual. I was going because it had been a while, and I don't want the poor experience I had recently to discourage me from going back. I enjoy the atmosphere, the food, the employees and the time to my self.

If I hadn't shared, I went back once shortly after- before the Thanksgiving holiday. Just to shake off my nerves and get back to peace filled routines. It was awesome, I ran into an old acquaintance who has never been to the coffee shop before. What were the chances of that? I took it as a sign from God that all is well.

Today I went to meet a friend and his wife. I got there earlier than them to unwind and enjoy my alone time. I was starting to feel the pleasant caffeine buzz, enjoying my breakfast and the music. I look up and notice a man standing by the baristas station. He's staring at me. I smile and say good morning. He smiles back and says good morning. All is well.

Only a few minutes pass when suddenly I hear a violent bellowing coming from around the corner. It was one of the employee's. He was enraged, and so was the man I had just said good morning to. I didn't hesitate, I started feeling a lot of the intensity and I got up and put myself between them. I was reverted back to the energy I had experienced with the mentally ill person all that while ago. I was calm, gentle... The customer was an older man, the employee was a younger male. Both were in each others faces, the younger male was ready to fight in front of everyone.

The man was not being helpful either, he was antagonizing this young man. Saying things like he'd break his face. The young man is cussing him in the most aggressive and loudest way possible. I stand there and gently tell them no one wants this. A cursory glance and I see the wife is recording on her phone, and there's a female employee shell shocked by the exchange. The older man ask if I'm the manager. I say no... I briefly tell the older man I'm sorry for his experience... I briefly tell the younger male there's no winning here. I remind them no one wants this.

In the exchange of energy the man demands his money back. The girl who was shell shocked complies, we are now creating distance between the two. The poor girl breaks down and cries and is shaking trying to give the $6 back. The older man starts to confide in me. I tell him again I'm sorry, and that he's getting his money back and remind him he can walk away. Him and his wife leave.

...This type of energy has spurred twice now in this spot. And I was a witness each time. The first time, it was directed at me. The second time, I was a bystander.

There must be some significance, some reason for this to happen. My experience was fresh, I could relate with the energy everyone was feeling. Was it meant to happen this way?

After a few moments more, and people were calm- I explained to the girl that I would be right back. I buy them each a breakfast taco, one with meat and one with potato and try to console the employees once more.

..."Don't let a bad moment rob you from seeing all the good ones."

-Well, I don't want to spend too much time on this. Nobody wants that. I am realizing these aren't things to drag out in conversation either. But... What were the chances? It was that same aggressive energy. In the same place. The young girl that broke down felt like her life was threatened.

As a side note... The older man from this mornings experience, he had some anger in him. I could feel it when he was staring at me, and in this case it was diffused when I smiled and said good morning.

Such was not the case the last time. I know there are reasons as to why that is. But this observation is more so to confirm my suspicions regarding unspoken energies and what the eyes are saying. One should never assume... And it takes a Master to know how to navigate these situations... I imagine each pair of eyes are unique, and even if we are correct with what we are seeing- there is always a sliver of opportunity to transmute the energy.

I am grateful for God preparing me for this moment... I am grateful no one was hurt... And I wish all parties peace. I really need to meditate on this, and realize I have so much more work to do...

God Is Great

Well done, Eric, it takes some skill to calm things down when they reach that level. The old guy evidently had some real issues in his life and wanted to discharge the tension in the bar. You probably saved him from a bad beating. Unless he was an instructor of Brazilian Ju-Jitsu...

[guest587]

Thanks Mccoy.

Sometimes God uses us in ways we won't readily understand. But I do believe with sincere effort we are granted insight.
