The Om: Interpreted as The WORD! Repost 5/9/09

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. We use different words to describe the same thing. The Om is interpreted as The Word. God is the Uni-Verse which essentially means One-Song!

God is omnipotent (all powerful), omniscient (all knowing), and omnipresent (always present everywhere).

When Moses asked God, "Who shall I say sent me?" God replied, "I am that I am." [Exodus 3:13-14 KJV] God (The Great I AM, Divine Source, Existence, The Great Spirit, The Universe, Brahman, etc.) spoke life into existence, Divine Source used sound (energy/vibrational tones) to create all living things. Therefore, the Om is a vibrational tone that aligns our spiritual beings with our Divine Source. If you truly want to connect with God, I highly recommend you seek His presence daily in silent meditation (prayer) and you shall hear the Truth. "In silence, you shall know Me". 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 International readers who need to translate. The Torah is the Old Testiment of the Bible. Enjoy!  

"Blessed are You, Yahweh our God, King of the Universe,

Who in giving us Yeshua, the Living Torah,
has planted everlasting life in our midst.

Blessed are You, Yahweh, giver of the Torah."

"In the beginning WAS the Word, and the Word was WITH God, and God was THE Word. [John 1:1] In Him was LIFE, and the Life was the LIGHT of men [John 1:4] And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us [John 1:14], The Bible NKJV. Jesus (Yahshua) is the living breathing WORD of God, represented by the (Holy) Spirit that comes to live inside your Heart. The Breath of God! Welcome Jesus (Yahshua) into your heart and you will be comforted, anchored and guided by the Holy Spirit, The Breath of God.

"Know Yahweh, for all shall know Me, from the least to the greatest of them. For I will be merciful to their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more.” (Jeremiah 31:34)

In Hinduism, Brahman is "the unchanging reality amidst and beyond the world", which "cannot be exactly defined". It has been described in Sanskrit as Sat-cit-ānanda (being-consciousness-bliss) and as the highest reality. The sages of the Upanishads teach that Brahman is the ultimate essence of material phenomena (including the original identity of the human self) that cannot be seen or heard, but whose nature can be known through the development of self-knowledge (atma jnana). According to Advaita, a liberated human being (jivanmukta) has realised Brahman as his or her own true self. Radhakrishnan, who is representative of the "Modern Hinduism", refers to Brahman as the Absolute or Godhead which is the Divine Ground of all being. The Isha Upanishad says:

Auṃ (Om) - That supreme Brahman is infinite, and this conditioned Brahman is infinite. The infinite proceeds from infinite. If you subtract the infinite from the infinite, the infinite remains alone.

Sanskrit Brahman (an n-stem, nominative bráhmā) from a root bṛh " to swell, expand, grow, enlarge" is a neutral noun to be distinguished from the masculine brahmán—denoting a person associated with Brahman, and from Brahmā, the creator God of the Hindu Trinity, the Trimurti. Brahman is thus a gender-neutral concept that implies greater impersonality than masculine or feminine conceptions of the deity. Brahman is referred to as the supreme self. [source: wikipedia]

'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...
