Mantras One person wanted to know whether the use of a
mantra or sound brings greater success during meditation. Richard answered
that there are dozens of such tricks used to focus the mind for meditation.
He said that ideally, meditation should be a concentration exercise used to
bring a sense of peace and to achieve a focusing of the mind on a desired
subject. Also, devotion to the Higher Beings is safe only so long as one does
net become ecstatic or seek inspiration or voices. Some techniques of
meditation induce mediumship, and these are definitely to be avoided because
thousands of mediums are killed every year by lower entities who have gained
control over them. Correct techniques of meditation can also be used for
positive visualizations of one’s own environment or for the good of humanity.
Concentration on peace, justice, etc., help to bring about these conditions.
Therefore, Richard recommended the use of meditation for positive
concentration or devotion to the Higher Beings but never for the purpose of
seeking inspiration or information. (05-1969) |
