Mantra

[Adam S Doyle]

I was talking with a good friend of mine last night, a woman I've
known since childhood who is a global entrepreneurial force to be
reckoned with, and asked her about meditation. She said she does it
daily using a mantra. I've always relied on an external guide (mostly
to keep me awake). Rhonda, do you have any advice on creating a mantra
for oneself?

I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the cooler (though muggier) temps. 

Tomorrow in the beginning of class we will discuss spirits and visitations of entities outside of the human veil, and our first meditation will be, what I call " the bead" meditation - a joining of awareness with the DNA of the universe which was taught to me by my spirit guides at Delphi, Greece. 

Then Dave will talk briefly about Mantras and give the second part of his talk "Introduction to the Basic Principals of Metaphysics", discussing the essence of what we are and the essence of what we are not.  (adapted from I Am That, by Nisargadatta)

A handout is attached, should you like to read it in advance. No need to print it - we will have copies for you at class.

We will finish with  a meditation on managing fear, dissolving attachment to outcome, envisioning realization and illumination.

Once again, I will have plenty of water for you. Please try to come by 6:30 since we have so much to share. If it is too hot to walk up from the Path, you can take a taxi ( $5 flat fee) or the bus from Lane 4 at the terminal ($1.50 exact fare) and get off at 9th street.

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. Any questions, let me know.

All the best,

RS
