Mantras (or the “frequencies”) by themselves may not be as powerful and effective as when they are coupled with visualization (or the “intent” if you like).   This is not saying that they will not work by themselves, but only that they work better when a specific visualization is added.   Awareness of this may alleviate some of the worry about the uninitiated using specific mantras and the dangers inherent in this.  It is relatively simple for an individual to create a certain sound.   One can pick up a book and find a mantra or hear such a sound on a tape and repeat it.  However,  it requires some discipline and concentration to add a coherent thought form to that visualization.  It has been found that when an individual is at the level of being able to effectively unify the energies of sound with specific thought forms they are also at a high enough level of consciousness to be able to handle the fields they are invoking.

This formula of “Vocalization + Visualization = Manifestation” is found in all of the magical and sacred traditions, including Hinduism, Kaballah, shamanism and almost anything else on your planet.   It is something which the ancient and modern priests of many of these different traditions may not want to share, but it is now time to disseminate this knowledge.  It is a key to adding power to sound.  The visualization, or thought form comes from a different plane–some would call it fifth dimensional or ninth dimension–whatever.   Let us just say it is from another level of existence than our third dimension.  When  the appropriate sound is added to this thought form, what occurs is that you create a third-dimensionalization of this thought form.  It becomes, empowered with the physical plane manifestation of sound.

Sound, incidentally, is not specifically third dimensional in nature.   There are certainly sounds from other dimensions that never assume 3-D qualities.  These sounds however, often are resonating at a very high frequency  level which may be perceived by the brains and ears of only very highly attuned individual, but which do not really resonate here on the Earth plane.   These are powerful sounds, but they are not necessarily physical nor can they necessarily affect physical structure.  Audible sound, that is sounds which we are able to create and hear, are able to resonant on both the 3rd dimensional level as well as many other levels.

In my previous blogs we discussed the concepts of “frequency” and “intent”.  “Frequency” is the rate at which an object vibrated and is also a way of measuring sound.   “Intent” is the energy behind any created sound.  Together, these two elements create how a sound may be used–it’s effect for healing, transformation or whatever.   In other blogs we discussed the concept  that we are all unique vibratory beings and that the frequency (or frequencies) for one individual would be very different than the frequencies for another individual. I would now like to return to return to the concept of “Frequency + Intent = Healing”.

Another aspect of this equation and one which I particularly like is this: “Vocalization” + “Visualization” = “Manifestation”.  This may be viewed as a different way of understanding the first equation.  It is essentially the same.   You may substitute the word “Frequency” for “Vocalization, “Intent” for “Visualization” and “Healing” for Manifestation.   This formula does have broader aspects than that purely used for healing and thus I bring it to your attention.

When I first discovered this equation through contemplation of the creation myth as described in book known as “The Old Testament”, I thought I was quite clever.  In the Old Testament, the creator being thought of an object (“Visualized” it) then said its name (“Vocalized” it) and brought it into being (“Manifested” it).   “And the Lord said ‘Let there be light!’”.   After I had created this equation,  I realized that it is an inherent part of the magical and sacred traditions throughout the planet and not very original at all.  It was, however, a nice consolidation of ancient wisdom.  In ancient Egypt for example, the God Thot (another aspect of the magical “Hermes” would think of an object, say the name for the object and bring it into being.

In Tibet (and now, unfortunately, due to their exodus, India), when Tibetan Monks chant their “mantras“, they are not only vocalizing a particular sound (which, incidentally is very much like a sonic formula for the vibrational frequency of a deity or a particular ability), they are also doing intense visualizations.  These monks are masters at visualization  and they have spent many hours each day building “mandalas” which are complex thought forms.  When coupled with their chanting, they are able to produce amazing manifestations of the various deities they are working with.  They are also, of course, able to produce seeming “miracles” by using this process of “Vocalization” + “Visualization”.
