Induction

The term agnostic was fittingly coined by the 19th-century British scientist Thomas H. Huxley, who believed that only material phenomena were objects of exact knowledge. He made up the word from the prefix a-, meaning “without, not,” as in amoral, and the noun Gnostic. Gnostic is related to the Greek word gn?, “knowledge,” which was used by early Christian writers to mean “higher, esoteric knowledge of spiritual things”; hence, Gnostic referred to those with such knowledge. In coining the term agnostic, Huxley was considering as “Gnostics” a group of his fellow intellectuals—“ists,” as he called them— who had eagerly embraced various doctrines or theories that explained the world to their satisfaction. Because he was a “man without a rag of a label to cover himself with,” Huxley coined the term agnostic for himself, its first published use being in 1870.

RED TARA MANTRA 30/12/2014. 16/8/2017

OM TARE TAM SVOHA/SOHA
Red Tārā, (Kurukulla)(紅度母) of fierce aspect associated with magnetizing all good things.Red Tara is the fierce aspect of the Tibetan Buddhist Goddess Tara who embodies compassion, redemption, and removes obstacles on the path as well as quelling fears and anxieties. Red Tara magnetizes to oneself all good things. Red Tara is the dakini of magic and enchantment and the mother of liberation. The deity/Bodhisattva/female emissary of the Buddha Tara takes many forms, but regardless of which it is, she is one of the most revered and petitioned divinities in Tibetan Buddhism. Tara is the “Mother of All the Buddhas": she who embodies compassion, allays fears, removes obstacles. The Heart Mantra is:  "Om Tare Tam Soha"  which is done after the Jetsun Mantra and it simply establishes one in the Heart of the Mother, emptiness/awareness/compassion!
