Modern Teachings

 

Beyond all the numerous religious faiths, philosophical treatises, and mystical dabblings the spiritual searchers of the world have been subject to over the centuries, there are a number of modern systems, groups and organizations currently involved in teaching some form of sound current meditation. Some purely teach a discipline, while others mix it in with doctrine and philosophy. Following are a decent representation of the wide spectrum you can check into.

Audinometry

Within the potentials of your conscious being there is an entirely different way to manifest and express your living momentum and conscious perception. There is a whole series of life progressions reaching above and beyond your temporal mind’s ability to comprehend. Listen, the Sound Current is always there and the way home is in its direction. In order to graduate from this phase of the universe’s great school of life, you must learn how to manage the living energy of the next life progression. Audinometry teaches one how to realize one’s living potentials beyond the planet earth’s story lines and life momentums.

Akatha

The most important part of the teaching is finding one’s inner sound current (high electrical pitch heard inside one) using the AKATHA (a’ kuh tuh) Spiritual Exercise. The latter affords one the Sahaji ability (Sahaji [suh hah’ jee] is known as Soul Travel by some teachings, but the former is the higher Sanskrit word for it). The exercise is very simple and looks like meditation, but we call it “contemplation.”

Eckankar

The Light and Sound of God together are the Voice of God. In scriptures we know It as the Word or Logos. In other words, it’s God speaking from beyond creation to Its creation. The Sound of God was the rushing wind that visited the disciples during Pentecost. Some hear It inwardly. It can be heard as the sound of rushing water; the single note of a flute; the music of violins, woodwinds, or bagpipes; or even the buzzing of bees.

Master Path

Many spiritual seekers are not happy in this outer world of excessive materialism, for no matter how much or how little they acquire, an ever present emptiness remains. Likewise, the same seekers uneasily sense that they are not in harmony with their own subjective reality, those prevailing thoughts and feelings that constantly follow them in their day-to-day life, whispering messages of either support or the lack thereof. And there are those who, having sensed their lack of fulfillment, have embraced a system of spirituality that has not produced the desired relief, nor adequately taught the means of transcending their personal dilemma. Out of yearning, and sometimes desperation, seekers attempt to find another spiritual doctrine that will put an end to the confusion, or somehow shed some light and meaning upon their own search for spiritual growth.

Movement of Inner Spiritual Awareness

The purpose of MSIA is to teach Soul Transcendence, which is becoming aware of yourself as a Soul and as one with God, not as a theory but as a living reality. Your Soul is who you truly are; it is more than your body, your thoughts, or your feelings. It is the highest aspect of yourself, where you and God are one. MSIA provides a variety of tools and techniques that allow you to experience your Soul and, therefore, your own Divinity.

The Order of the Blue Star

The next wave of Light & Sound Teachings is HERE NOW as it has always been within each of us At this time of the Great Awakening, a transcendence of consciousness asks each of us to let go of old ways. In these Teachings there are no Masters, initiations, no baptisms, no annointments, no secret symbols or even handshakes. Neither is there a need for spiritual guides, angels, elementals, elves, gnomes. All of these exist but are unnecessary distractions on the journey to freedom. Just you and the Oneness that you are.

Dr. Bhagat Singh Thind

The great Power of Shabda-sound current-is that like a magnet it pulls the soul upward, and without the soul’s being lifted up by its saving grace, salvation is not possible. Shabda is the spirit-sound-current, it is substance-quality-vibration, it is life-current which has originally emanated from the Supreme Being and is the only means of taking and raising the Spirit to the Source from which it emanated. Shabda is the bridge that carries the devotee across the chasm of birth and death to the bosom of the Eternal. It is like a ship carrying souls across the oceans of birth and death to the Port of Paradise in the land of Immortality.

The Quan Yin Method

It is through the inner Light and Sound that we come to know God. Master Ching Hai initiates sincere people longing to know the Truth, into the Quan Yin Method. The Chinese characters “Quan Yin” mean contemplation of the Sound Vibration. The Method includes meditation on both the inner Light and the inner Sound. These inner experiences have been repeatedly described in the spiritual literature of all the world’s religions since ancient times.

Radhasoami

The uniqueness of Radhasoami Faith lies in transference of NIJ DHAR that is the Name and Sound Current to the successive Master of the Time by the previous Master before the departure. Because of this unique internal transference of the Supreme Current the present Master is equipped with the entire Spiritual qualities and characters of His Master. He acquires the power to liberate the souls from the bondage of mind and matter in the lifetime of the true seeker.

Sant Mat

Sant Mat is an age-old, spiritual way of life that includes developing respect, trust, and love for all and discovering our full potential as true human beings. It is a lifestyle in harmony with higher values that nurtures our soul through meditation—the regular contact with the inner light and sound. This contact is made available through a living spiritual teacher.

Science of Spirituality

There is a current of Light and Sound that flows out from God through the various regions of creation. This divine stream also returns to God. If, through meditation, we connect our soul to this current, we can travel on it back to our Source.

The Power of the Word

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

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

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

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.
