THE BENEFITS OF REPEATING THE OM SOUND
THE SOUND OM or AUM
In all traditions we find references to the creative Word, to magical sound, to the creative power of the word of man made in the image of GOD. In their esotericism, all religions emphasize the magical virtue of certain words, known only to the initiated.
The Gospel of St. John speaks of the Creator Word “who is in the beginning of all things, and by whom all things were made” – so there is a primordial sound, the Mother of all sounds. This sound, uttered by the Great Architect of the universe, enabled the creation of the universe.
OM, THE MOTHER SOUND OF ALL SOUNDS
The sound OM is the Word at the origin of all that is born, lives and dies, only to be reborn, live and die again.
The sound OM, also known as PRANAVA, is the source of all sounds in the universe. It represents the symbol of the Name of Supreme Consciousness. The sound OM is the key to the past, present and future, the key to all the Holy Scriptures. It supports the forces that preside over the creation, preservation and transformation of the world.
AUM is the primordial sound that God uttered to create the universes. AUM is the origin of the word AMEN or AMIN.
The three principles of AUM are:
The primordial A of pre-creation
The U of creation
The M of the expansion of creation, which is the Divine Breath going out to infinity.
AUM is the primordial sound from which all sound manifestations originate. It expresses the highest Spiritual Reality.
In AUM:
A represents the physical plane, U the mental plane and M the spiritual plane.
AUM is the quintessence, the “syllable-germ” of the universe, the universal force, expression of the highest Consciousness, the State of Cosmic Consciousness.
AUM is the origin of all vibratory intensities, dominating every dimension. No atom of creation was forgotten, for “in the beginning was the Word”, and creation was contained within the intensity of the Word.
THE BENEFICIAL INFLUENCE OF AUM SOUND
AUM is every man’s awakening to the mystery of his own heart. Through AUM, man enters into communion with the universe, with creation, with the Divine expressed everywhere.
The sacred syllable AUM contains all the ranges of creative sounds, enabling us to purify our body, psyche and atmosphere from the surrounding world. It raises the vibratory rate.
The AUM sound is the breath of the Absolute throughout the Universe and the different planes of manifestation. It enables the soul to return to GOD, helping it to break all its earthly chains and find, cradled by its sacred rhythm, the sublime pole of Eternity.
The AUM is the refuge of the Sage, who draws strength and vigor from it when the dark clouds of human mediocrity make the weight of the earthly vehicle of animate matter keenly felt. The sound of AUM destroys ignorance and evil.
AUM is the song of Absolute Light AUM is the song of Love AUM is the pearl that awakens AUM is the pearl that tears illusion AUM is the union between heaven and matter AUM is the heart of life in every star
AUM is the Supreme Self of souls, and even the greatest demons have this seed of Light locked away in their inner black glue.
The sound of AUM frees us from the past, from the pain of having sinned.
The chant of AUM brings life.

Sing the AUM that will take you beyond time, suffering and death.

AUM is in everyone’s heart, just waiting to awaken from its long sleep.
The AUM sound improves health, calms the mind, maintains a climate of optimism and protects against evil psychic influences.
Warning against misuse of the AUM sound.
Any malicious use of the AUM sound produces a violent backlash against the practitioner. The key is to repeat this sound with benevolence, true love, selflessness, forgiveness of offenses and the idea of purification.
When doubt perverts your inner self, take refuge in AUM and you’ll see that everything will become clearer.
Follow the Star of AUM that leads back to GOD.
