Three Mystical Powers
“तीन रहस्यमय शक्तियाँ”
फ्रेड लामोटे के द्वारा
मैंने तीन सर्वोच्च रहस्यमय शक्तियां प्राप्त कर ली हैं। यदि आप तैयार हों तो मैं उन्हें आपको सिखाने जा रहा हूँ। ये सिद्धियाँ सभी बाधाओं को दूर करती हैं, सभी शत्रुओं को स्तब्ध कर देती हैं और अनंत के सभी द्वार खोल देती हैं। आम तौर पर मैं उन्हें गुप्त रखूंगा, केवल दीक्षा धारण करने वालों के लिए, लेकिन क्योंकि हम साम्राज्य के पतन के करीब हैं, इसलिए मुझे उन्हें इस उम्मीद में आपके साथ साझा करना होगा कि आप उन्हें अपनी यात्रा के लिए तावीज़ के रूप में उपयोग करेंगे।
ये तीन रहस्यमय शक्तियां हजारों वर्षों से हिमालय के मठों में छिपी हुई हैं, लेकिन अब इनका खुलासा होना ही चाहिए। निःसंदेह, आपको ये गुप्त दीक्षाएँ तब मिलीं जब आप पालने में बच्चे थे, गूँ-गूँ करना, गड़गड़ाना और पादना, "गा!" बड़बड़ाना। "हूं!" "माँ!" "भा!" यह और सर्वोच्च बुद्धिमत्ता के अन्य बीज मंत्र। लेकिन आपने अपने तेज को शिक्षा के बदले बदल दिया। अब आपको पुनः दीक्षित होना पड़ेगा।
1. सबसे पहले, जब भी आप दुखी, क्रोधित या भ्रमित हों तो इसे अपने दिमाग़ को त्यागने का संकेत मानें। अपने शरीर में डूब जाओ. अपने दिल की धड़कन को महसूस करो. बस रोना बंद करो, शरण में जाओ, और अपने दिल की धड़कन में प्रवेश करो।
2. अपनी अगली सांस को लेना नहीं है, उसे ग्रहण करना है।
3. जब आप अपने दिल की धड़कन में डूब जाते हैं और महसूस करते हैं कि हर सांस एक उपहार है जिसे प्राप्त किया जाता है, लिया नहीं जाता, तब इस उपहार को वापस देने वाले को अर्पित करें, धीरे-धीरे सांस छोड़ें और सुनें। सुनें क्या? साँस छोड़ने और अंदर लेने के बीच, सबसे शांत, सबसे दूर की ध्वनि सुनें। बस एक पल के लिए। यह क्षण एक शाश्वत द्वार है. यह दरवाजा आपके सीने के बीच में है, जाने और आने के बीच, धड़कनों के बीच, जहां कोई यात्रा नहीं है, कोई विचार नहीं है, कोई "मैं" नहीं है।
सुनें क्या? सबसे धीमी ध्वनि से परे अंतराल को सुनें। सुनने की स्पंदनशील सजीवता को ही सुनें। अपने शरीर की सिम्फनी, इलेक्ट्रॉनों का कोरस, अपने सौर जाल के न्यूरॉन्स में डूबने वाले दूर के सितारों का गीत सुनें। मौन की गुनगुनाहट में डूब जाएँ।
अब आपको मुझे भुगतान करना होगा। यह आपका दीक्षा शुल्क है. क्योंकि यदि आप मुझे भुगतान नहीं करेंगे तो इन गुप्त तकनीकों की रहस्यमय शक्ति सक्रिय नहीं होगी। ठीक है? तो कृपया मुझे करुणा की ऊँची लहरें भेजें। मुझे यह सोचने के लिए क्षमा करें कि सुनने, धड़कने और अपने दिल से दोस्ती करने के अलावा भी सीखने के लिए कुछ है।
मनन के लिए मूल प्रश्न: आपको अपनी अगली सांस लेनी नहीं बल्कि ग्रहण करनी है , इस धारणा से आप क्या समझते हैं ? क्या आप कोई निजी कहानी साझा कर सकते हैं जब आप दुखी, क्रोधित या भ्रमित थे और आप अपने दिमाग का त्याग करने में सक्षम थे? आपको मंद ध्वनि से परे अंतराल को सुनने में क्या मदद मिलती है?

Standing by the ocean, moving to the rhythm of the waves. Realizing that it is not "I" who breathes but rather that the world / that life breathes me. Oneness. 2). Being obsessively stuck in thought patterns I believed to be who I am. Reading a book on Buddhism. Reading that the mind is a sixth sense. Being suddenly struck with the understanding that I am not my thoughts. Watching the many year old obsession and addiction melt away. 3) At night, when my body awakens me to go pee. Peeing then kneeling beside the bed and dropping into silence, silence deepening as the mind chatter quiets down, sinking deeper into a silence beyond silence. Waiting. Patiently. ..... " teach me, show me how to love," I pray

Thanks for writing this and sharing it. Could imagine myself as a child, and an adult and none at the same time. Could feel the silence as the words revealed themselves, and as the breathing softened. So beautiful!

I have recently been called by stillness. While walking outdoors the other day, I found myself stopping and listening to the stillness. The stillness brought me peace and comfort. Awareness of my breathing heightened. It was a beautiful experience.

This practice makes me grateful for this life ,this breath. .
It makes me aware of space that stretches and expands forever.
It makes me feel oneness with all other breaths ,where only breath exists and that I am here now.
When angry, hurt or confused it helps to breathe and move out of the turmoil in the mind . The heart is always ready to send oodles of love to the person or myself or the thing that is hurt intentionality or otherwise and that helps elevate personal wear and tear and helps in accepting my nature and faults and that of others . Giving myself a little of that' timeless-breath pause ' helps me get my footing back and feel i am right where i am meant to be.
Surrender to the Guru helps me focus on the faintest sound .

the notion of receiving breath ,takes away 'doership' in that 'I am taking the breath in '. In fact ,I am receiving breath and along with it love from the universe,so I am a vessel of receiving .
Once I was cooking meals for a relative with love,and she would criticize daily ,so it made slightly sad and angry ..
but I let these emotions just pass by ,and I complimented myself in my own mind as I found the food delicious...and then I was no longer slightly sad or angry over time..and the relative also stopped complaining.
Praying with an attitude of surrender to a higher power,helps me to empty my mind of thoughts ,and listen to the space beyond the faintest of sounds.

I breathe in forgiving myself. I breathe out forgiving every one and everything else that stands in the way of Love. Ya'rauf , Ya'rahim. Names of the mysterious oneness of mercy and compassion that live in the realm and house of the roots of letting go of the millenniums of patterning based in fear. Submerging in peace, with nothing to do except to keep breathing deeper.

The mind is a funny thing. There is so much to do! We can plan, sort, categorize, we can vision, and we can go back into the past and relive. We can go into the future and imagine. And we can do so much more! we can create anything in our minds. New Worlds. Fantasy, fiction. These three techniques are a way to simply be present. To be in the now. To appreciate what is here. When we can settle into this moment without anticipating the next or wishing to change the last, we can begin to understand our place in the great I Am.

Love this. I feel as if I am receiving a piece that was missing till now. I am a student of instinctive meditation, based on radiance sutras. To think we give up our radiance for education is mind blowing. To think as babies we are chanting Bija mantras feels wonderful. And the power of listening, being with the heart resonates deeply. I have felt this instinctively that emotions are a gateway to a deeper space in the heart.

The notion of receiving your next breath opens up for me the notion of there being separation between human me and breathing, and there is none. Human I and receiving my breath are one. I breathe. I can control it, at least briefly, but for the most part human I breathes, no separation. I think of my mind as the hub of my cognitive abilities. There have been times I have abandoned my mind and let emotions overrun my mind. When my father died, I let go into my sobbing and it felt very good and I felt cleansed and relieved. What helps me listen to the space is discovering that such listening is worth doing, the space is the Source, it's peaceful and awesome -- it makes the awesomeness of the space of the Grand Canyon pale.

I deeply appreciate reading Three Mystical Powers written by Fred LaMotte. Reading this article, I got three precious gifts of living a full life. First gift: Abondon noise making mind, noise of anger, fear, frustaration, and resentment. By letting go of the noise in my mind I hear the sound of silence. In that silence I listen to my heart beats of love, compassion, and kindness.
Second gift: The joy of giving, of seeing the light of my Real Self.
Third gift: Liberating myself from the bondage of craving and lightening my self-created load.
When I let go of my growth-binding breath, the door of my heart opens up to see the light and be free from deep darkness.
Walking on the path of awakening is not an easy journey for me. Sometimes I run into self-created walls, the walls that obstruct seeing the ligth of truth. I stumble and fall down and hurt myself and others in my life. Such stumbling wakes me up and I see the light of awakening and resume my pilgrimage of living fully a... [View Full Comment]
