Mantra:
There is no required mantra other than the subtle sound of the
breath.
Comments:
There are no enemies. There are challenges to our creativity.
The greatest enemy is the self. Self-defeating activity and
self-animosity occur where we do not accept ourselves. We
instinctively reject self-confirmed continuity. We will oppose
our own success and accomplishment just to break with
steadiness. That break is the assertion of ego: an attempt at
marking and possessing something in Time and Space. This
self-animosity distracts us from the real gift of human life:
the capacity to confront and experience the self in relationship
to the Unknown Infinity of our Self. This meditation conquers
the state of self-animosity and gives you the ability for
constant consciousness in support of the core self.
