Do you believe that repeatedly chanting a mantra helps make it come true? ~


  "I just want to make sandwiches for Randy D."
(Come on, don't think about it, don't resist, just say it, just kept repeating it so that it becomes truth.)

  "I just want to make sandwiches for Randy D.  I just want to make sandwiches for Randy D.  I just want to make sandwiches for Randy D. I just want to make sandwiches for Randy D.  I just want to make sandwiches for Randy D. I just want to make sandwiches for Randy D . . . "

    No.  However, chanting does serve a purpose.  It clears the mind.  This is why monks and nuns chant.  It is a way to prepare to pray, clearing the mind.  No one told me this.  I discovered it on my own somewhat by mistake but it has been useful to me in my life.

    Chanting is also part of the Jewish tradition in temple. This post was edited by Thriftymaid at August 9, 2018 4:28 PM MDT

      What a great answer, and so eclectic of you. Now repeat after me: I just want to make sandwiches for Randy D. I just want to make sandwiches for Randy D. I just want to make sandwiches for Randy D. I just want to make sandwiches for Randy D.

    I will happily teach you to make a great sandwich.  Then you will never have to depend on another for sandwiches again.  This is my philosophy of help and how the USA should provide aid to the third world.  Truckloads of food never make it to those they are meant to help.  

    I did it again.  Sorry.  My writing cup runneth over tonight.  I've been writing and writing tonight.  :)

      (See, folks?  I told you that Jane S wants me, and now she's even willing to share.  Ah, what some women won't do to get themselves a little Randy Candy.  Don't be stingy with the baby oil, Carbie, and move over a bit so that Jane can help spread it around . . . )

    It's not chanting that makes things come into reality, it's believing.

    I believe I'll have a beer.

    See how it works?
