My mother and I bought many titles and discovered many things about the Inner State and how to release the many 'gifts' which are imbedded within us. I practiced many of the rituals I learned from these books and I must say it enhanced my life greatly especially a magical ritual that involved using mummy candles. I didn't use it often but when I needed to effect a really big change in my life, it bought swiftly and set be on higher paths of love, money etc and especially would inform me if there was anything getting in my way of development (most of the time it revealed me, myself.

It wasn't your fault that my comment got deleted. It was too long in its initial form, and when I pressed submit comment, it took me to a page that said the comment was too long or rather it said it looked "spammy" and so it didn't let it get posted. It was well written, I had it copied initially and thought I'd paste it again and edit it, but instead I discovered that I had copied something else in the meantime that I had hoped to add to the end of it. Something about the word being used by a scottish guy who got scratched on his buttocks by a cat. So again, it's not your fault, it was just the word limit was exceeded. Thank you for responding so fast, I really appreciate it. I originally came upon this article from your ghost in the bed article, which I came to from your reverse speech article. I've left another comment on the ghost article, requesting further information on your experience since I find it really fascinating. I'm not sure if you have other articles that are themed similarly, but so far I've really enjoyed each one alot!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('646','Foxy'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('646','Foxy','Wow you responded really fast!

I write a hugely long comment, and then it deletes it all. In my comment I explained in depth how the Buddhist and Hindu word is pronounced Mahra, with a long ah sound. That its never Mayrah. It comes from the word Mahr, meaning death, destruction, killing, hitting, shooting. There is also a personified form of Death in Hindu religions called Mara. I also went into more about the Egyptian possibility, and explained that there is no "Ma" feminine Goddess or power in Egyptian religion as far as anyone knows. There is Ma'at, and Ra, who is now being pronounced Re with an accent on the e. She was not his traditional consort. Since this is meant to be done like a Mantra I suspect the hindu and Buddhist idea, but in that case its meant to be a destructive word. Hindu religions often believe in vibrational pronounciations having power. Then I went on to talk about the Hebrew word Maha meaning Destruction, which might be related. I even went so far as to talk about the Latter Day Saints and their mention of Master Mahan's, one who have taken a pact with Satan in order to gain his "secret" which is to learn how to benefit from destructiveness and killing. It is thought by some to be a reference to Master Masons. Joseph Smith, the founder and Prophet of the Latter Day Saints movement was a Mason himself, as well as much of his family and brought much of what they taught to the LDS scripture and temple architecture. Now I'll even add that the term "Secret of the Ages" is very familiar, because of the book The Secret Teaching of All Ages, which eventually makes reference to the "seething" powers of "Lucifer" being the source of essential power. Mara is considered the Satan and "Lord of Evil" of Buddhism as well as other related religions and cults. The reason he faces Buddha in a temptation situation much like the temptation of Christ in the Bible, is to test his enlightenment and to lure him out of it. The Buddha passes the test, is neither tempted by the worldly things of life such as seductive women, nor is he afraid of dying when Mara threatens him with violence and death. Mara may be thought to have many demons and destructive entities under his control as well. Anyway the reason I wrote all this was just because I didn't want people thinking that the word Mara was pronounced Mayra in Buddhism and Hinduism, because it isn't!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('643','Foxy'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('643','Foxy','wow this has happened to me so many times.
