Yoga Music For Meditation Series - OM The Word
LOGOS And OM
Everything in the universe originates from a primal vibration, in Christianity called the WORD. In Hinduism this concept is called OM. OM and the WORD are an expression of a universal principle, a vibration, a primordial sound which is the source of everything that exists.
Pythagoras describes the same thing in his philosophical ideas in the Music of the Spheres, where it is stated that the physical sound that we hear is but a reflection of the LOGOS (Greek) meaning the cosmic sound.
The Word And Christianity
The Christian tradition speaks of the power of the word. God speaks words and creates universes. "God said: Let there be light. And light came" (book of Moses). God utters words and the universe is created.
This is symbolically a form of sound emanation from a higher reality, which we in our physical reality call a word. The symbolism is clear, and is the same in different spiritual and religious traditions; reality is created by sound or vibration.
OM And The Atom
Modern physics and the upanishads from India may at first glance seem very different but both support the idea of the universe consisting of vibration and that there exists a kind of primordial vibration.
When we dive into the atom we discover that all matter is in a state of vibration. That vibrations come close to our perception of sound in its poetical quality of music, is expressed by the physicist Dr. Donald Hatch, who states that the universe is not made of matter, but music gives a modern equivalent to the idea of OM as the sound of creation.
Sound And Matter
We know that the solidity of matter is an illusion and that all matter consists of atoms, separated in enormous distances compared to their size. And that the atoms themselves are not at all solid, but consist of energy in movement.
According to the scientist Donald Andrews complex theory of the universe, every atom sends out a main tone, a sound which via the resonance process connects itself in groups of equivalent atoms and form up molecules, which he sees as a kind of cosmic chords. By continuing the expansion, the molecules form different objects and forms in physical manifestation. Thereby any object can be seen as a living entity, made up by chords or molecules, with each their individual complex sound.
OM In Everyday Life
The creation myths might not only be the story of how the world once was created, but could also be a symbolic description about the process of creation that is ongoing, and which each one of us is a part of. It is the creation and maintenance of each and every little atom and the realities we are creating with our minds and emotions. And it is going on right now, not in the eternal remote past! If we manage to be in accordance with life, we will be harmonious and happy.
Matter comes from vibration, matter is cosmic sound. Matter is OM which has been crystallized. The universe and earth only exist because the word is being continuously emanated. Without the word there would be only pure empty space called Ananda by the ancient yogis of India, which was the original state of the universe before manifestation.
OM As A Spiritual Practice
Advanced practitioners of Yoga have always felt OM as real as the air that they breath. Christian mystics have long know of power of the WORD in themselves and the outside universe. They feel at a deep level the continual emanating of the word OM in the continual creation processes taking place.
We are the authors of our own universe, all our thoughts and emotions coming together in a complex symphony which either sounds harmoniously with the cosmic symphony or creates noise and tension. The choice is ours, whether we choose to play disharmonious music or whether we wish to join creation harmoniously adding our own beautiful song.
So be ever mindful of what you send out because the universe hears your song! - 18758
