The Om

This is a 5 1/2 minute video interpretation of the meaning of The Om. It is my intention to introduce and expose you to other spiritual teachings from around the World. It is about respecting all religions. Because they are all essentially leading us to the same place, awakening the Divine Source within our Spirits. The Om is interpreted as The Word. The message and the music is amazing! I have typed only 3 minutes of the message below for those of you who can not watch the video and my readers who need to translate using Babel Fish. Enjoy!

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and God was the Word. ~ Gospel of John, The Bible.

'Om' is the Sacred and mystical Sanskrit word. According to tradition, every 'thing' manifest comes from Primordial Vibration, which is symbolized by The 'Om'. All material objects, all living beings, including each of us, all spiritual teachings, all language, including Sanskrit and all other Sacred text.

'Om' has been seen as the first manifestation of the unmanifest Brahman (God). 'Om' is the eternal world of Brahman the Supreme unmanifest Divine Being. 'Om' is the sound of all creation and is a prayer itself. 'Om' appears in Vedic Sanskrit as a word of solemn affirmation and respectful assent.

The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali state that 'Om' is the Supreme name of God and it cannot have any meaning other than God. Also it states that remembering Aum and its meaning will make the devotee happy, focused and his enlightened 'Om' (pro-nounced ohm) represents the Supreme Being.

The past, present and future are all included in this one sound. A timeless mantra. Whosoever meditates this one syllable obtains all that he desires. We are spiritual beings conceived through the sound of Creation. Born from the sound of the spheres. We are One with all Creation. The Way we view ourselves can broaden our sense of who we are and help us appreciate ourselves as brave spirits on an important mission to learn and grow here on earth.

Remembering that we are spiritual beings is part of the work that we are here on earth to do. Each of us, however, carries within us the capacity to change the world in small ways for better or worse. We are One with the Universe. Remembering who We are can give us the patience to persevere when we become overwhelmed or frustrated. In this way We realize that 'Om' symbolizes the infinite and Divine Being and the entire Universe!

We are made of Light and Pure Energy. All humans are beings of energy, vibrating at unique and beautiful frequencies. Like Divine notes in the Symphony of The Universe.

I beseech the wisdom of ALL enlightened beings, past and future. May the four immeasurable Minds (love, compassion, joy and equanimity) grow in the hearts and minds of ALL beings. May WE know the TRUE, clear light of Liberation! May You Be Blessed! OM Shanti OM...
