Original Being — Headless Now — Prose Poem — Moca McCarty Photo

Original being:

words are vibrations, of course everything is a vibration of some degree, with matter being slower to the point of appearing solid and words more subtle in their nature. In meditation, particularly in the form that I practice, we use a mantra particular in its resonance, aligned to the moment of birth and lunar cycle, a vibration of our moment that we came into the world. Repeating this mantra, easily and without concentration or effort, is a return to our natural state of being. Or perhaps it’s better stated that there’s the perception of a return — and what’s seen more clearly with the mantra’s use is that we’ve never really left this state at all, our vibrational quality only shifted to a more mundane relation to reality. Our mantra doesn’t return us anywhere, it simply shifts us once more to the quiet point of who we really are. We vibrate as our original being.

this is where I like to write from, whenever possible at least, immediately from meditation cushion to desk, and allowing any words to find me here. This could be liken to the law of attraction, not in the New Age concept of manifestation of my desires, but in the sense of a quiet mind being more open and allowing in its reception, attracting words of a similar vibrational nature. It seems to work for me, my writing is always a joy and words seem to easily appear exactly as I need them.
