Love is a supreme force which the Eternal Consciousness sent down into an obscure and darkened world so it might bring back that world and its beings to the Divine.
Introduction
A mantra is constructed of psychically potent sound syllables that are capable of influencing human consciousness. They can excite our emotions and provide suggestions to our mind and affect both the one who recites them as well as anyone who hears them.
Being a sound pattern associated with either meaning or an energetic structure or both, a mantra is composed of certain frequencies that have a pattern of their own and a vibrational field that creates different intonations. These frequencies and the sympathetic overtones generated by them influence our sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system which are spread in a fine network all around our bodily organs. The sympathetic response generates neuromotor response and influences the two hemispheres of our cerebral cortex in our brain.
Reciting mantras utilizes the left hemisphere of our brain. This hemisphere controls our emotions and hence, mantras containing true words of power, are able to effectively and positively influence our emotions without needing to understand their meaning. Some mantras contain words of prayer and by understanding the meaning of these invocations, a mantra is able to expand its scope of power beyond its inherent vibrations.
Repetition of mantra, with attention directed to the source of the sound (the idea of the sound in our mind whose source is the Self), completely engages our mind. Consequently, reciting the proper mantra(s) even for a short time each and every day will allow us to get in touch with our true nature, our Higher Self. Simultaneously, the mantra projects through its vibrations the subtle anatomy either of the personalized force (the devata) or of the forces of the universe at their most basic levels. The mantric energy condensed in the letters is vested with a spiritual power beyond human comprehension. Pronounced and correctly joined, and with the correct rhythm, accent, intonation and mental attitude, a mantra becomes a vitalizing force within the mind of the seeker.
The Origin of Mantras
Vedic mantras which we will be using are thousands of years old. They were first heard by yogis and Vedic seers (from ancient India) during their intense meditations. The mantras were not created in a linear or logical fashion and are not products of a normal state of consciousness, but were heard while these ancient sages were in a higher state of consciousness. This altered state is one of deep concentration but is not what we know as meditation.
The ancient yogis and rishis practiced a way of life that put them in a constant state of awareness, directing their energy toward the highest energy center (chakra), in a tranquil state of mind, inspired by Divine Love. In that state, they became completely absorbed in this essence, they heard these sound compositions, and when they returned to normal consciousness, they chanted them from memory. Much later on, these mantras were collected and complied as Vedas by the four disciples of the sage Vyasa.
The origin of these mantras is Divine. The rishis heard these mantras as sound frequencies in an organized format. Because they were produced by a higher consciousness, they are able to transport anyone who recites them to the same space and level of consciousness from which they originated.
From what must have been a vast sum of such writings, four great collections of the knowledge received by these rishis and sages have come down to us in writing (in ancient Sanskrit) and are still available today – the oldest surviving literary efforts of ancient mankind. In order of their age they are the Rigveda, the Samaveda, the Yajurveda and the Artharvaveda.
The mantra which you will be given as part of your Gayatri Reiki initiation, the Gayatri Mantra, is the most famous Vedic mantra which is still being recited all over the world today. It is considered the Mother of all mantras and has emanated from the early moments of creation – the creation that formed the three dimensional universe. In our Gayatri Reiki one day workshop, the second level of Gayatri Reiki, you will be given other mantras which deepen the power and experience of Mother Gayatri.
The Power of the Gayatri Mantra
All Vedic mantras (those coming from the Sruitis – the Rig, Sama, Yajur and Artharva Vedas) such as the Gayatri Mantra, are eternal sound vibrations of spiritual import. The Vedas were not composed by any person at any particular point in history. Rather the mantras of the Vedas are eternal representations of God in the form of sound. By repetition of a particular mantra which has been correctly energized and enlivened, the person reciting this mantra will realize the actual essence, the purpose of that particular mantra.
Your Empowerment Session
It is said in the Vedas that if one begins chanting a mantra after randomly hearing it or after reading it in a book, it will not produce the potency that is contained within it. The mantra will essentially be ineffective and contain no power or efficacy. Mantras are like seeds in that they contain vast potencies within them, but they need outside factors to manifest their power.
The transcendental vibrations contained within the Gayatri Mantra are completely spiritual. Thus they must be received from a spiritual source and must be chanted only after having been heard emanating from this source.
The Mother’s Temple
As I’ve only briefly shared, The Mother’s Temple is a cosmology of the universe which is summarized in one single three dimensional geometric form. This image is the result of seven full time years during which I worked intensely to answer archetypal questions and gradually was led to the construction of this Temple.
There is no other form, no other evidence that I have found during my many years of research which illustrates that anyone in the past has seen the actual full structure of The Mother’s Temple. I have found cross sections and basic forms which tell me that her essence was worked with, but never have I found her entire form, mapped as levels of consciousness as they move through time.
It is the totality of my ability to construct this Temple in my mind and trace its contained levels of Consciousness that allow me to transmit and enliven the powers contained within your Gayatri Mantra practice. Your initiation emanates not from me, but rather comes directly from the Cosmic Divine Mother herself as she lies in energetic form – full, available, beautiful and Divine. I am only a channel who has invested his life in being able to trace and erect this Temple for the benefit of others.
Someday I will share the geometry, the construction and the process that led me to acquire this potent source. Currently, I have been advised only to work with the energies contained within its structure and it is my tracing of the construction of the 72 levels of consciousness that are contained within The Mother’s Temple that provides the spiritual source that will enliven and make potent your recitation of The Gayatri Mantra.
You may have received instructions to read this web page and uncover the words which I’ve just shared with you as part of your Empowerment Process. If so, please read it several times so you gain a comfort level with the existence of mantra potency.
You will find the words of this mantra on the next page as well as several sound files which will allow you to hear how the Gayatri Mantra is pronounced. As you recite this mantra, you will begin to find your own natural rhythm which will emerge as you become re-connected to these ancient energies. These are energies of our joint and mutual Source. We all are internally connected with them. That is why so many people are extremely attracted to the sounds of the Gayatri Mantra. They are like hearing the voice of our original Mother as she caresses us and surrounds us with Divine Love.
The Gayatri Mantra is so all attractive today, that millions of people all over the world are already chanting her melody. It has been said that no matter when you choose to recite your Gayatri Mantra, there is probably someone somewhere in the world chanting this mantra at the same time. Going back to my reference to the 100th Monkey concept, critical mass has already been achieved with these words of power. Our only challenge now is to take the import of this mantra and move it out into the world to create heaven on earth.
