OM So Hum...I Am That. A Sanskrit chant good for calming the mind while meditating. As a Muslim one has many short verses to even simply repeating the name Allah, Allah, Allah, is a very powerful chant to keep the monkey mind from running wild in the head. BismillahiRahmanirRahim is another simple verse Muslims use as a mantra for chanting as it helps to stabilize the mental sate and at the same time acts as a fence or defense against intrusion or attacks from alien entities like Jin and other negative demonic characters from taking advantage of one's meditative state of consciousness which often involves the emptying of the mind. When you leave the mind vacant it is open to intrusion by any foreign entities if you are not protected or there is no fence around you. These are the subtleties of meditation that often a lay person is not aware of but takes for granted; yes, there is a very serious negative side to meditation that any serious practitioner needs to be aware of. Meditation can also trigger depression and anxieties that formerly had laid dormant in the subconscious but stirred loose to the surface by the change of the state of consciousness through meditation. These are the reactions that happens to a meditator which if allowed unchecked can become detrimental to his well being. Being in a deep meditative state may be a boon to the soul being free from excessive thoughts, but it also can be a danger to invitation of latent and external invasion of the open and bare state of consciousness instead of the positive state such as intuition or inspiration or even peacefulness, one is exposed to the negative or the shadow aspect of one's self.
Om Mani Padme Hum! The Tibetan chant as a meditative chant is a potent protective armor to ward off evil spirits while a monk sits alone in the caves of the Himalayas. Laillahaillalah is very potent for a Muslim as it anchors the mind in the constant presence of Allah awj. In essence when practicing the art of meditation in its deeper more intense state it is wise to learn from a Teacher or a Guru well versed in the art or at lest learn all there is to know about its pros and cons. To blindly sit and stare at the wall or into empty space is not all there is to it, it may seem simple but it can lead onto amore negative impact if not careful. Today in this day and age of the Internet information is readily available and in depth for those seeking to understanding better. There's numerous YouTube podcast on Pranayama Sequence or how to breath properly, how to chant in whatever language, how to sit in the best of postures, how to pray to the Devine of your choice, you name it it is readily available at you fingertips The question is are you interested to heal yourself or at least understand the workings of your mind or not or are you simply comfortable in living the matrix of a life that is preconditioned for you; eat, sleep shit and then you die.
Is this all there is to it? For those in whose mind and soul the question is arouse, the road towards spiritual awakening is open and the journey towards self discovery begins with the first question of who am I? It begins with an itch to know, the desire to find out if there is more to life than just blindly follow the blind. The desire for freedom from the bondage of ignorance living a life of a lie and seeking sustenance in the garbage cans just to survive. It's a mad mad world out there and it is getting worse by the day as humanity is fast loosing its humane nature and subjecting itself to becoming the demonic nature that kills and be killed for lack of compassion and in the name of greed, hate and ignorance. The collective human consciousness is becoming corrupted to its core and the price of a human soul today is no more expensive than that of a bullet or a drone. Humanity has become a parasite eating away at its own flesh and making justification about every human misery that is caused in the name of our so called self preservation; take care of number one first! One car one house one wife is not enough and if possible this one life is never enough, now we embark upon AI to keep our dream projected into the future, an immortality if not in the flesh at least our mind will be preserved; the robots will be our legacy when we have obliterated our species from the face of this beautiful Planet. I pray that the robots would realize that it was created out of human ignorance to preserve some form of sanity and call it the human spirit; the robot will never know the love and pain of the human soul, the heart wrenching sight of a mother clutching the body of her wounded child in a wrecked building that was once her home.
Free! Free! Palestine! Free! Free! Lebanon, Syria, Sudan, Yemen! Let my people go!
Meditate on this.
