hey all!!
in my opinion this is a interesting and important topic. i would say a differentiation could be good, but first of all maybe we would have to say what is a mantra supposed to be in the first place?! well as far as i understand it it's just something you tell yourself that you want to or think you have to believe or not believe or something like that. i don't know whether this says it all, but maybe you have more ideas. so of course this is basically a very simple concept, but if you think about it, the possibilities are possibly/probably endless.
now what could a not-mantra be? hmm maybe it would simply imply a more reflected mind-space or so, because you would differentiate with the thoughts on what you would want as a mantra or not or something like that instead of simply accepting everything undifferentiatedly.
i don't want to say you should always overthink everything or so...hell no... lol i guess i just want to point at the possibility of sometimes overthink with careful purpose or so. well lol unfortunately i can't explain it very well. it's like when something or various things point towards the advantages or so of having or making a plan or many plans.
something like that...
and i can tell from experience that i sometimes struggled internally and/or externally with mantras or mantra-like thinking, hmm maybe that's why i got the idea for this topic ... so i thought it might just be something you may be want to consider. anyways...i hope it makes some sense lol
well and maybe you have some mantras or not-mantras that you would like to share.. or other ideas??
an example for a basic mantra could be: "i am" or "i am this/that etc etc..."
also i guess mantras can have many forms for example you can say it out loud or mentally or like
processing or conveying it if that's what you want to do with works of art, music, pictures, movies etc etc...
conversely it might be an idea to beware and be careful althought of course not too paranoid if at all of mantra-like thinking or so connected with what kind of mantras that maybe other persons want to impose on you or so... just saying... can't say it often enough.. some people are simply bastards... although at their core they might be nice persons etc etc...
what you think??
peace
