Excerpt from The Curiousity Spark
The following is a passage from Book One of The Curiousity Spark.
Mantras
The knowledge is without a doubt flowing. I feel the connections being made. One of the most fascinating revelations so far is the function and purpose of a mantra.
Mantra is derived from two words. "Mans” meaning mind, and “Treya” meaning tool. Mantras are essentially tools to fix the mind by combining concepts with sounds, rhythm and tone.
How they work is even more fascinating, in my opinion. I can best describe it as software for the human mind. The software doesn't begin to run until you learn the mantra and have conceptualized understanding of the syntax and meaning of the words (typically in Sanskrit).
It is then repeated in the mind, or stated by the individual, respectfully. And as time goes on, through subtle contemplation, the meaning of it begins to change and illuminate your mind further. The context and repetition begins to change your perception of the world in you and around you.
A Brilliant Book
This weeks brilliant book by Dr. Joseph Murphy. This book in particular validated many of my suspicions and gave me immense confidence when I was looking for answers.
Who is Dr. Joseph Murphy?
Dr. Joseph Murphy was a renowned author and New Thought minister, best known for his bestselling book "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind" (1963). In this work, Murphy emphasizes the transformative potential of the subconscious mind through visualization and affirmation techniques. He suggests that by changing one's thought patterns, it is possible to influence one's life positively. The book has been celebrated for decades for its practical approach to harnessing the power of the subconscious to achieve success, health, and happiness, and remains a cornerstone in the self-help and motivational literature genres.
Be still and quiet, tune in with the Infinite Intelligence, and continue in right thought, right feeling, and right action, and you will arrive at your goal.
