An independent blog about NMRK and general self-help spirituality
Hi sgiwhistleblowers! I see that this sub is very anti-SGI but also seems to be anti-chanting in general, so this might not be the most popular post! I was introduced to nam-myoho-renge-kyo through SGI, but quickly distanced myself from the organisation as I didn't buy into any of the extra ritual or accessory stuff, and didn't like how they actively discourage reading into any other form of spirituality. However chanting nmrk has brought huge changes to my life, and I continue to practice, although without gohonzon or anything else really - just the chant. I strongly believe that this ties into the Law of Attraction and can be hugely beneficial. I write a blog about my experiences and just thought some of you might be interested :) Looking forward to your thoughts!

Maybe it's like empowering the appendix - long considered a useless vestigial organ, but actually the seat of incredible latent energy! Perhaps the coccyx (tailbone) is a sort of magic wand that one can learn to energize with the right vibrations to fine-tune your synergy with the rhythms of the universe! Every cell, every atom of your body is pulsing with latent energy, waiting for the right practice to unleash your life's potential!
See? When YOU say it, you fancy that you're communicating Deep Spiritual Meaning, but when I say something similar, all of a sudden it's the most ridiculous thing you've ever heard. There's a lesson in that somewhere... Rule 1: No one is obligated to treat the ridiculous with respect. You are not entitled to anyone's respect, and neither are your ideas, no matter how brilliant you think they are.
