The State Of My World

The only world I can talk about, the only world where I can choose what to feel is my own world. To remain in my own world without being egocentric is the only way for me to be able to show compassion, to be able to respect people and to care and share, to be peaceful without being a zealous dreamer. At moments when this is the state of my world, I often can't find words anymore to express what I see, what I feel. And as I experienced today at work, this is certainly not the perfect energy to attend meetings. So today I left the office running, metaphorically speaking that is, as the pedestrian paths are covered with ice. The Olympic Skating rinks would be proud of such quality. Walking, however, is hardly possible. The hospitals are full with people who slipped on their way to work.

Step by slow step I walked to the train station, a mantra playing in my ear, and my fear to slip and my anxiety from the nonsense at work disappeared while I was chanting along with the song on my iPod. When I arrived for a Kundalini Yoga Session, I was in the right mood to start with a powerful chanting meditation, followed by a challenging Yoga hour. I find myself turning to mantra's a lot these days. And sometimes I dream that I would hide mantra's as subliminal messages in the newscasts, in the songs played on army radios everywhere. If listening to a few mantra's even without singing along helps me to forget my anger, forget my fear, my anxiety, wouldn't this also work for people who turn to weapons to kill, often indiscriminately? Would they be able to stop, would it work for groups who exist based on sheer hatred for all that is? How long would it take to have an effect? Would some people be immune, how long would it last?

I have no answers, I just know that the state of my world thrives on mantra's such as the Triple Mantra
(This Triple Mantra is sung by Gurunam who is a powerful visionary healer).

In peace and light
