The Power of the Word
We find in the Bible the words: ‘In the beginning was the word, and the word was God’, and we also find that the word is light, and that when that light dawned the whole creation manifested. These are not only religious verses; to the mystic or seer the deepest revelation is contained in them.
The Mysticism of Sound
Abstract sound is called sawt-e-sarmad by the Sufis; all space is filled with it. The vibrations of this sound are too fine to be either audible or visible to the material ears or eyes, since it is even difficult for the eyes to see the form and color of the ethereal vibrations on the external plane.
Sikhism
A progressive religion well ahead of its time when it was founded over 500 years ago, The Sikh religion today has a following of over 20 million people worldwide and is ranked as the worlds 5th largest religion. Sikhism preaches a message of devotion and remembrance of God at all times, truthful living, equality of mankind and denounces superstitions and blind rituals.
Naam or Word – Hari Ras
Now we come to another term, “Hari Ras” or Divine intoxication. Whoever communes with the Word, Shabd or Naam feels an exhilarating effect, too sweet and too absorbing for words. Far from being inebriating and stupefying it raises one into a state of super-consciousness and universal awareness.
Vipassana Meditation: The Soothing Divinity of Sound
The Himalayan masters of ancient India developed the “sound current” that is now known as the “divine sound.” The divine sound is the foundation used for practicing various forms of yoga—nada, sahaj, Babaji, kriya, and Sikh practices such as shabda yoga.
The Human Dilemma of the Spiritual Seeker
You cannot just become a seeker of God without having previously developed this spiritual desire through the evolution of your own inner consciousness. Not everyone desires to know God and Its infallible truth, nor does the realization of the true self have much universal draw in our highly technological world.
Tinnitus – curse or blessing?
I’d like to share two insights with you, for me two of the most precious that I received from our teacher, Yogiji.
The Sound Current
Ever since I can remember, I’ve heard this high pitched sound in my head. It’s kind of like the keening made by high voltage electrical wires or when an old TV is switched off. I knew this sound wasn’t caused by blood flowing through my ear drums because it didn’t vary with my pulse or any other physical function.
Keeping Up With Creation
When I was fourteen, I discovered the Sound Current. Not all about it of course, but enough to know it was my tangible proof GOD was always there. To a degree, my entire spiritual education has been about the Sound Current. In the beginning, as I listened to it, it seemed as though I was only listening to one note, one instrument.
Janet and Sound Current
I’ve been lurking for many months as I’ve been searching for a ways to understand my T. I’ve had that high electrical tone constantly buzzing between my ears for about a year. My problem has been that I couldn’t point to specific cause of the T (no loud noises in my past, no head injury, no serious stress).
Audible Life Stream
The audible life stream is perhaps one of my favorite spiritual insights. It is common to many traditions both in the east and the west, but is only central to a few. It is an ever present sound underlying all things and it is a connection to the pure energy that flows down from the higher regions where negativity does not exist. When we are able to connect with it, we are filled with an absolute warmth and contentedness. Above all else it fills us with love.
Naam or Word – Evidence From Various Religions
If we go through the scriptures of various religions, we find clear references to the basic common factor, the Divine Light and Sound Current, as the only means for creation and maintenance of the universe and the regeneration of mankind.
The Universal Life Stream, the Song of the Universe
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:1. Here it is definitely stated that something which is called Word is identical with our Creator.
The Sound of Silence By Ajahn Sumedho
As you calm down you can experience the sound of silence in the mind. You hear it as a kind of high frequency sound, a ringing sound that’s always there. It is just normally never noticed. Now when you begin to hear that sound of silence, it’s a sign of emptiness – of silence of the mind. It’s something you can always turn to.
Naam or Word – Celestial Music or Divine Harmony
ORDINARILY, when the hymns of the saints are sung with accompaniment by musical instruments, it is called “Kirtan.” This music–vocal or instrumental–has a great appeal to the mind because of its power of attraction. It does for a while produce stillness in the mind and the subtle faculties.
