Iv’e studied about this topic.
Well online mostly, and been thinking about this awhile, but I didn’t come to a solid conclusion?
I also ask this becuase it’s said that it’s the sound of the universe, yet I am unable to find that more people meditate on mindfullness or, awarness of other places to achieve it for achiving moksha.
Sorry if it sounds confusing,
I was just wondering,
Many thanks
Apparently some people have, It can take decades though, so I hear.
I combine the qigong microcosmic orbit with Robert Bruce’s ideas for clearing blocks and raising energy in a more controlled way; mantras are too vague for my analytical mind.
The former moderator of this forum, Lady Eva, did. She described it here:
Because her experience resulted in the complete rejection of the world, she warns against the danger of the Aum mantra.
Short answer, No!
I don’t care what anyone claims and how credible they seem to be.
It might help a little along the way (although I think it might do more harm than good, like the topic @DarkestKnight linked to), but there’s no shortcut to moksha/ enlightenment. In my view/ opinion there are many ways to achieve enlightenment. It will include some serious preparation physically, mentally, spiritually to be able to get to that vibration level and keep it long enough to have “Nirvana” sing it back so it resonates. Even then it’s rare, nearly impossible for any physical being to keep that up very long.
“Om” alone no, but “Om namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya” would be for Moksha and “Om namo Narayanaya” for enlightenment. Then again, there may be various aspects to consider but a part of the difficulty is also addressed by the required repetitions of a mantra for obtaining the siddhi, usually a very high number.
Yeah, and isn’t there something about intention setting at the same time? You don’t focus on the words but on the chakra above the crown, something like that.
This them is designed to bring energy up out of the top of your head to connect you with the cosmos. If you just focus on the words and your body you don’t make that connection, which I suspect is a key part of it.
An experienced meditator once said you can attain Moksha by saying nothing, simply by breathing and being in state.
But it takes a LONG time to do so, and there are downsides.
That type of work also tends to make you a mendicant, a hermit or recluse, and if you make errors, it can turn you into a schizophrenic through kundalini syndrome, so it’s not entirely safe.
The gurus of course don’t tell you this up front, but you see it over time.
All of these things are just tools and techniques to get you on a path that might eventually lead you there if you manage to persevere.
[Edit] I wrote a long lecture worth before but in short it comes down to:
No, there isn’t any amount of chanting, meditating or chakra work that’ll get you there on it’s own. Not if you don’t understand the core reason for using these techniques and a willingness to dedicate your entire existence to walking the paths these techniques might be able to show you.
Thanks, that was an intresting read.
Also , thanks for all your answers.
On a side note, I do love this forum it’s one of the very few places with very smart, wise topics from all sorts of beliefs. I just love to read posts now and again see what’s possible. Not to mention the motivation it brings.
