Om Mani Padme Hum

Hail the Jewel in the Lotus  ओं मणि पद्मे हूँ;

The mantra Om Mani Päme Hum is easy to say yet quite powerful, because it contains the essence of the entire teaching.
When you say the first syllable:
Om it is blessed to help you achieve perfection in the practice of generosity.
Ma helps perfect the practice of pure ethics.
Ni helps achieve perfection in the practice of tolerance and patience.
Pä, the fourth syllable, helps to achieve perfection of perseverance.
Me helps achieve perfection in the practice of concentration.
Hum helps achieve perfection in the practice of wisdom.
"So in this way recitation of the mantra helps achieve perfection in the six practices from generosity to wisdom. The path of these six perfections is the path walked by all the Buddhas of the three times. What could then be more meaningful than to say the mantra and accomplish the six perfections?"

Daybreak | 6:17am

While in the shower this morning, it occured to me that you may never know what sunrise will be your last. 
As of today, I've been around for 12,842 of them.

“A rare experience of a moment at daybreak, when something in nature seems to reveal all consciousness, cannot be explained at noon. Yet it is part of the day's unity.”

What The Bleep You Are To Me?

What The Bleep You Are To Me by Xlerate  
(download)


Image Credit: Christolakis

This is a mix I made using an excerpt from Dr. Joe Dispenza comments on creating your own reality in the documentary 'What the BLEEP Do We Know!'.

The music is from 'Unkle - What Are You To Me ( Sasha Involver Remix )'.

"So if we're consciously designing our destiny, and if we're consciously from a spiritual standpoint throwing in with the idea that our thoughts can affect our reality or affect our life -- because reality equals life -- then I have this little pact that I have when I create my day. I say, 'I'm taking this time to create my day and I'm infecting the quantum field. Now if (it) is in fact the observer's watching me the whole time that I'm doing this and there is a spiritual aspect to myself, then show me a sign today that you paid attention to any one of these things that I created, and bring them in a way that I won't expect, so I'm as surprised at my ability to be able to experience these things. And make it so that I have no doubt that it's come from you,"

" For the average person in the world who live life and considers their life boring or uninspiring, it is because they have made no attempt to gain knowledge and information that will inspire them.
They are so hypnotized by their environment through the media, through television, through people living and creating ideals that everybody struggles to become what no one can actually becomes in terms of physical appearance and definitions of beauty and value that are all illusions,that most people surrender and live their life in mediocracy.
They may live that life,they may never really rise to the surface so they may want to be something else.
But if it does rise to the surface and they ask themselves if there is something more,or why am I here?, what is the purpose of life?, where am I going? What happens when I die?
They start to ask those questions, they start to flirt and interact with the perception that they may be having a nervous breakdown and in reality, what they are doing is that their old concepts of how they viewed their life and the world start to fall...."

~Dr. Joe Dispenza
'What the BLEEP Do We Know!'.


"So many times I've overflowed
So many faces come and go
I played my cards into the sun
and tried to work out
What you are to me"

~UNKLE
'Unkle - What Are You To Me (Original)'.
