This mantra is honoring the evolution of consciousness. When chanting it your intention might be to invoke this process. Sometimes we feel stuck and change is what we need and want. This can also be experienced as a thanksgiving; honoring that everything changes and evolves. Throughout our lives, we learn and grow. Each day can is an opportunity to involve yourself and be transformed. This mantra focuses on that transformation being a form of ascension. We move from ignorance to wisdom, from the dense and dull to that which is illuminating and bright. we come to understand that death is inevitable, yet immortality is within all sentience. Energy cannot be created nor destroyed. It is eternal and so are you.

“What once was not, now is. The paradox is that all form arises out of silence, emptiness, that which is subtler than subtle. And arriving at yet another paradox, we then use that form to return to that infinite space within.”
