Its my way of telling Her that I want herto expose the cause of the illness....There is one very excelent way to build energy toward liberation from allpain and that's to take up a mantram. OM AIM HRIM KLIM CHAMUNDAYE is myfavorite, it has been for years. If we repeat a mantram with the intent ofadding energy to the Goddess on Her quest for our liberation, then weprovide fuel directly to Her cause for our salvation. The more we say it,the more force, love, and tonal vibration we add to it, the more energyShe can use to expose the parts of our minds we are hiding from......My advice to you and anyone is to repeat a mantram. Its what I do when Ifeel the asuras are causing reactions and when I feel the pain of truth inmy mind's eye. Dear Brian ~ once again, you have spoken to me deeply. I believe you should perhaps consider writing a book, from your perspective of the quest for salvation and the thought bots. It is a very effective way of thinking about all of this, and takes away some of the sting of the thoughts and the emotions resulting from them as well as providing a very useful term that helps one distance one's self from these reactions. My one question to you is why do you leave off the VICCE in the mantra? Are they two separate mantras, and how does leaving the VICCE off change the meaning?

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 I just forgot to include vicce... Its an important part of the mantra. OM AIM HRIM KLIM CHAMUNDAYE VICHE I get so excited talking about it, I sometimes skip words. I usually catch them while editing. I missed this one... > > Brian wrote: > > I have found within myself that I hold on to many many unhealthy thoughts > and feelings (feelings are often the end result of a demon thought bot > rampage).
