Tau11 – My Journey of Lifelong Learning

This is a living archive of my thoughts, experiences, and hard-earned insights, drawn from an unusual life. Here you’ll find reflections on the food I’ve eaten, the things I’ve bought, the people I’ve encountered, the places I’ve seen, the books I’ve read, the quotes I’ve kept, and the trends I’ve spotted and capitalized on.

I write this for you, my children, those already here and those yet to come. Daddy loves you more than words can hold. I want each of you to live lives you’re proud of. This is my thinking, in my own voice, left here for you to explore. I hope one day it proves useful.

If, by some unlikely chance, I’m gone before I can guide you in person, let this stand as a poor substitute. But in the more likely case that I’m still here, let this serve as an intellectual archive, a record that I held these convictions long before you were born. May that give weight to my words, and credibility to the wisdom I hope to pass on to you.

Mantra Chanting

Mantra Sadhana – To practice the utterance of a sound with such intensity, fever, and determination that your whole being starts to vibrate with that sound. You become that sound, it becomes your sound, your mantra. 

Your mantra – the one you not only connect with but that transports you to another dimension of consciousness.

The power of mantras lies not in their meanings, but in their sound. (Understanding the specific mantra chanted is irrelevant) It is the active chanting that bestowed power on the hymns.

The meanings are made up in the mind, but the sound connects with reality itself  

Mantras are impulses or rhythms of the consciousness. They create vibrations in the spirit. Their effects, influence, method, and mode-of-working are all a mystery. 

Rig Veda:

 – The oldest and foundational Vedic text contains most of the mantras. 

– Rig Veda is the fountainhead of Vedic science (the spiritual science of the Himalayas)

– Created systems such as Yoga, astrology, and traditional Indian medicine. 

– The basis for the Sanskrit language and culture 

Shiva is the creator of mantras in the mantra yoga. All sages are merely (drashta) seers, they did not create the mantras, they only saw what was already there. 

 Mantra is not something that you utter, it’s something that you strive to become. If you aspire to open up the secret to existence, you must become the key yourself. 

“Becoming the mantra” means that you are becoming the key to the secret knowledge of the universe. 

 Science of Mantra:

– Two kinds of energies, potential and kinetic.

– The Vedic science of mantra says the same thing bug takes it a step further. In mantra yoga, while kinetic energy is an aspect of potential energy, the movement in energy cause sound. When the sonic aspect of energy is harnessed or channelized, it becomes creative energy. 

– This potent creative energy can be used to aid the creation, destruction, or sustenance of your world. 

– Sound (nada), is kinetic energy. Sound cannot be static. All existence is simply an arrangement of silence and sound at different frequencies. 

Mantra is a language without meaning, its meaning lies in its sound.
