Who is who? Is the object meditating on you or are you meditating on the object? When the great God stands before you, does He contemplate upon you when He stares at you, or do you contemplate upon Him? Both answers are correct.

What Happened To Bruiser

To ease your worries and give you a little update.

Series Masterlist

Mrs Parker had a vicious little French Bulldog. She barked at strangers and had chased the last plumber out of their house. The sink still hadn't been fixed.

Mrs Parker took MeMe out late at night, to avoid all of the people.

She didn't expected to find a whining beagle by the gages. MeMe jumped at him. And Mrs Parker held her back.

Tucking MeMe under her arm, Mrs Parker introduced herself to the Beagle. "Bruiser," she said, reading off his nametag. "Where's your owner, Bruiser?" She asked as she patted his head.

Bruiser let out a whine and Mrs Parker decided that she would stay with him, at least until his owner appeared.

She was there with him for half an hour and nobody appeared. Mrs Parker couldn't believe that somebody would abandon such a sweet boy.

She checked his collar and found three different phone numbers. She called all of them, with the third one picking up.

"Yeah?" Came a voice.

"Hello," said Mrs Parker. "Is this Bruisers owner?"

There was a pause. "Bruiser? Landos fucking dog?"

Mrs Parker cleared her throat and MeMe yapped. "I don't know who that is but I found Bruiser here at the park. I was wondering if anybody could pick him up? If not I will be taking him to a shelter."

"Shit, sorry," the guy said. "Yeah, I'll be there in fifteen minutes. You're at the park, yeah?"

Mrs Parker stayed with Bruiser until the car pulled up. The man introduced himself as Max and explained that Bruiser belonged to his best friend, who was currently in Spain. He thanked Mrs Parker and got Bruiser into his car.

Mrs Parker stayed there until Max disappeared. She placed MeMe on the floor, a bad feeling settling in the pit of her stomach.

What is the purpose of mantras in your practice?

A mantra is made from seed sounds. Each seed embodies a fundamental aspect of reality--not represents but embodies. Think of this as if universal dharma were to be filtered through synesthesia and then expressed as the vibrations that most of us then perceive as sounds.

We truly have no idea how far back the human use of mantras goes. I suspect it is tied into the origins of language.

There are a number of ways in which mantras can be used and I have benefited from several techniques, both tantric and non-tantric. It is worth noting that the use of mantra is a key defining feature of tantra.

Japa Dharana

Focusing on a mantra was the first form of meditation I ever practiced. It was also the first form of meditation that caused unexpected and permanent shifts in me.

Japa means repetition/utterance and dharana means concentration. Therefore japa dharana means focus or concentration on a repeated mantra.

All forms of meditation have dharana, in other words focus or attention. Some forms of meditation have you focus on a mantra, other forms have you focus on the breath.

This is a good way to learn how to overcome the momentum of the mind's continual chattering, reacting, daydreaming, etc. It would be difficult to just sit down and focus on silent awareness, especially if you've never consciously experienced silent awareness. As such, using a point of focus provides a support for your meditation.

I will often recommend this practice to beginners but it can benefit practitioners at all stages of their path.

Deity Yoga

Now we enter the realm of tantra. For japa dharana, you can use any mantra that you find appealing. The technique is that the mantra is a support for the focus of your attention. With tantric forms of practice, however, the various mantras will have specific purposes or layers of effects.

When it comes to deity yoga, the mantra is the deity. Everything that comprises the deity is embedded in the mantra and the mantra itself can embed the deity--whether that means embedding in your heart or in a statue of the deity or in an offering.

Deity yoga is often credited as an exclusively tantric practice but you will find examples of it within bhakti (devotional) based spiritual traditions as well.

The purpose of deity yoga is manifold. For bhakti yoga, it means to lose yourself in a form of the divine and therefore find yourself as divinity. For tantra, it means to become the deity in order to receive its wisdom.

For example, maybe we aren't the most compassionate person. Maybe we find compassion very difficult to feel or understand. But Avalokiteshvara the bodhisattva of compassion is the living personification of compassion itself.

Therefore we can undertake a deity yoga practice in which we dissolve and arise as Avalokiteshvara. Then as Avalokiteshvara, we do compassion meditation practices. At the end of the practice, Avalokiteshvara dissolves back into our mindstream and we return to our human form.

While this practice utilizes visualization, it is the use of Avalokiteshvara's mantra that facilitates connection with his blessings, or influence.

In most ways that it is taught within Buddhist Tantra, deity yoga emphasizes that the deities do not exist outside of our own mindstream. The deities are archetypal facets of enlightened wisdom and/or activity. This is why the practice works at all: it helps you to discover, cultivate, and integrate those enlightened aspects.

Guru Yoga

Similar to deity yoga except with enlightened humans, either living or dead. Use of a guru's mantra along with visualizations can be applied to receive the blessings and teachings of a guru, or to meditate in their presence.

Sacred Formulae

As I mentioned from the beginning, a mantra is made from seed sounds with varying qualities. These can be used alone or combined in endless ways to create mantric formulae.

Such mantras are then used in practices and rituals. For example, nyasa is a tantric practice in which parts of the body are blessed and divinized by means of mantra. It is a ritual of placing/awakening divinity within the body.

Mantras are used in homa fire offering ceremonies, initiations, or magic rituals.

There are examples of things similar to mantras in other religions and cultures around the world, of course. But since the word "mantra" is a sanskrit word, I am speaking to my understanding and practical experience with mantras in the context of sanatana dharma and buddhist tantra.

Hope this wasn't too long/tedious! 😅
