"So there I was, with the Ho'oponopono, looking it straight in the eye.
And it looked back, with all of the implied compassion of and obeisance and surrender to the Great Teacher. Could I do this, could I really
feel these words in Truth?"
by Sharda Chaitanya
Today I had a sublime experience using the mantra, HO'PONOPONO. I had come across the word recently when reading Scott Mowry's latest article, posted here. I'd seen the word in the past, and I have seen the definition separately, but hadn't put the two together until now. That is all I knew, that was as deep as it went for me. Which was perfect - I hadn't examined, contemplated or exploited it. It was a virgin mantra.
But yesterday a situation erupted with someone who I consider a good friend. We had 'words', (or more accurately, text messages) and I became really angry. Angry like I haven't been in about five years. Angry like if I didn't calm down, I was going to pass out, overcome by dizziness. And what made it worse in my view was that it was done via text messaging!! OMG, I was regressing into a teenager!! The whole scenario had all the earmarks of a juvenile spat, with yours truly as one of the players.
