Incantation
Our bodies and minds translate everything we experience into pulsations, rhythms, songs, and we weave these individual sounds together to create the appearance of a coherent experience. Like all music though, just as there is the original sound, as much depends on the listener as the sound.
Our mental functions, our language, our biology follow patterns that remain consistent on all scales. The examples of fractal repetition are endless and the reason incantations are repeated is they represent this expressive process taking place in a way that our attention can readily keep track of.
“Do not waste yourself in rejection; do not bark against the bad, but chant the beauty of the good” Ralph Waldo Emerson (American Poet, Lecturer and Essayist, 1803-1882)
“When chanting, austere meditation and self-discipline become your protectors, then the lotus blossoms forth, and the honey trickles out.” Sri Guru Granth Sahib
