Guest guest Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 How chanting works through the Deflection Method Chanting works to kill the incorrect impressions in the subconscious mind. This method, known as the deflection method, helps us to benefit from chanting If we look at the diagram, we see a barrier, which comes between the conscious and sub-conscious mind. This barrier has some special qualities. It doesn’t allow the conscious mind to know what secrets are locked in the sub-conscious mind. This sheath is also porous, but it only allows one thought to emerge at a time from the sub-conscious mind. This thought that emerges is the strongest thought. So impressions from the sub-conscious mind rapidly hit the conscious mind in quick succession and return to strengthen the centre that they arose from. However when the devotion centre becomes stronger, as shown in the diagram through the spiritual practice of chanting then it becomes the strongest thought to shoot up to the conscious mind. Every time God’s name shoots up into the conscious mind, the barrier seals and doesn’t allow any other impression to come through. Each thought from the sub-conscious mind tries to enter the conscious mind but the barrier will not allow it to go through and so it gets deflected as you see in the diagram. Thus in the process the other impressions and centres get ignored. By being continually ignored, the other centres get reduced until they cease to exist. So this is another effective way in which the devotion centre cleanses the subconscious mind Regards A.SrinivasanEshwari Computers#15, Pattalamma Temple StreetBasavangudi, Bangalore - 560 004Cal: 41312207, 93412-11246 Reference: http://www.spiritualresearchfoundation.org/articles/id/spiritualresearch/happiness/gaininghappiness/happiness_reducingincorrectimpressions_d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
