I wanted to share some
thought of encouragement to support the process that we are all moving
through as we move through the 12/21/2012 time marker and beyond. In
terms of a single thought, with only five words, this is the most
positive and powerful one that I know of. "Om" is the universal
frequency. When resounded we tune into the universal energy field that
permeates all of creation. It is the unified field of Einstein
manifesting as all that is and unifying all that is. It means that
separation is an illusion and that we are always one with each other
within this unified field. "Namo" means to invoke, to call upon, to
entrust into, to surrender to and allow, to open up to and be changed
by. "Amida Buddha" is the name for the Buddha of Infinite Love and
LIght and also the name for the Buddha of Health, Physical Regeneration,
Long Life, and even Physical Immortality. "Amida" is a fusion of these
two aspects and therefore means a Grace and Blessing Energy that can
heal life on Earth and transform it into a Pure Land. Amida Buddha is a
Dhyani Buddha or Archetypal Buddha, beyond the genders of male and
female, and both male and female at the same time. The female aspect is
called Pandaravasini, or Queen of Fire, and represents the enlightened
or subtle aspect of the fire element. The corresponding wisdom is
called the "wisdom of pure perception" which is the capacity to see
everything as it is, without the coloration of mental interpretation of
any kind, seeing everything as a manifestation of primal luminosity. It
is like removing all the colored windows of mental interpretation and
looking directly at the light itself. Amida Buddha is sometimes
designated as "he" because of Dharmakara, who was a Bodhisattva on
another planet who made the 48 promises of what he would gift if people
called upon him. He merged with Amida Buddha and became a Nirmanakaya
emanation of its energy. He worked hard at transmuting energy for many
vast numbers of lifetimes to create a "mercy seat", a place where all
karma could be burned away completely and liberation easily attained.
Because of his attitude of being gracious and his pure dedication, he
merged with the aspect of our inner being that has the same attitude,
the Amida Buddha within us, and brought this energy into dynamic
aliveness so that by chanting the name "Amida Buddha" we can access this
energy source and let us transform our lives completely and totally.
"Hreeh" is the seed vibration of this energy family, represents "karma
burning" and "the compassion that dissolves all karma completely". It
is a symbol for an awakened conscience that understands karma very
deeply. It is able to feel deep repentance and remorse so thoroughly
that the root of karma is wiped out. It is able to forgive so totally
that the karma of others is wiped out. When visualized and chanted,
this single syllable becomes the whole mantra, and when vibrated into
the cells of our body evolves our body into a light body. What is
required from us is only a small amount of sincerity, since love is
nonviolent and does not violate free choice ever. To the degree that we
sincerely allow ourselves to be transformed is the degree that it is
so. In the tradition, you chant long enough until the chant is sincere.
When it is sincere, then we are transformed. We first attain mental
peace and faith, then realization, and then even light body. It takes
roughly one million repetitions to become enlightened and one billion to
become a light body. Deep concentrated sincerity can accelerate this.
