The chanting of the A-U-M (OM) mantra pierces through the perceptions of separateness to bolster unification with the all pervasive spaciousness . Our true essence derives from the vastness that escapes description or quantification.. The person abides in duality and temporality when ‘reality’ is perceived solely through the six senses. Temporality obscures the connection to the substantiality of (the) ‘nothingness’. This nothingness is the extant, nonmaterial, all-pervasive substance. This nothingness is the underlying fabric of all things seen and unseen. The A-U-M mantra brings the individual to an elevated degree of clarity by harmonizing the disparate aspects i.e. (self, Self, SELF). It is this clarity that facilitates the capacity to ‘see’ through to the substantiality of nothingness.
The body-mind complex functions as a barrier between reliable perception of solidity and intuitive, etheric intangible, tangibility. The ‘average person’ is anchored within solid state reality. Their thriving gives validation to material existence. Developed, modern society, as it currently functions, completely embraces the ‘thing-ification’ of daily existence. The general populous gives scant credence to aspects of existence that are not physically quantifiable. There is this disconnect between what one can ‘see’ (with the six senses) and what one can ‘feel’ (psychic abilities, extra dimensional awareness). The disconnect is due to ‘quantification focus’ of science and the religious imposition of dogma. A-U-M, as a vehicle for revealing oneness, can help to dissolve the disconnect.
Intuited reality exist within and is drawn from a space, a space that is limitless, ever expansive. Solid State (3D) Reality, taken as what is sense perceived, is a conglomeration of vibratory states. Everything in 3D reality is vibrating. A rock in the water will always be perceived as two separate things, but they are both composed of vibration. Vibration pervades the universe. Knowing this facilitates seeing past the appearance of solidity. Structure is important for navigating the accepted realness of the world. Yet, given over to the forces of time, nature and flux, all is impermanent. Eventually, all things do degrade, breakdown and get regenerated. Reproduction is another for of regenerating in the face of degradation. In either case, that infinitesimal, vibrational state is the point of constancy within the cycle of temporality.
The infinitesimal, vibrational state is a point within the ever expansive Nothingness. All of reality is in a state of vibration, a state of flux. Yet there is a point at which vibration is a semi-solidity. There is a phasing into and out of substantiality, like a blinking light scenario. This “interquark space” is not empty, but instead filled with a complex, dynamic quantum field known as the gluon field, where virtual particles (points of infinitesimal vibration) constantly fluctuate into and out of existence. The point of infinitesimal vibration, as a solidity, is a manifestation emanating from the Nothingness. Nothingness is not a term that denotes absence or non-existence, as such. Nothingness is a term highlights No-Thing-Ness. This the state where all things are at a ‘Lowest Common Denominator Nexus’. No-Thing-Ness implies the insubstantiality of all reality.
A-U-M (OM) is the vocalization of the Nothingness / Creation / Sustaining / Dissolution / Nothingness cycle of existing. Each aspect of the syllable defines a specific segment of the perceived, solid-state reality. A defines cognization, creation. It is the point of extraction from nonsubstance. U denotes sustaining and continuity. It is like setting the system into cruise control. M is the point of dissolving, dissolution. This is not pure destruction but a reorganizing, rebuilding due to change, which can be violent or gentle.. Chanting of A-U-M occurs within the cycle of breath and breathing. Exhaling is the vocalization. Inhaling is the calm, the spaciousness, the No-Thing-Ness. The person can connect with the intuitive, etheric intangibility. This is the spaciousness of No-Thing-Ness from which all is derived, all is composed.
The void of spaciousness, silence that periodically intersperses the ongoing phases of Generating / Operating / Dissoving, ad infinitum, is expressed in the A-U-M mantra. The Nothingness, as the infinitesimal, vibrational state, is the penned, conceptual expression of the unfathomable, unknowable, unsearchable void. This limitless expanse allows room for intuition and insight to explore the boundlessness of possibility and potential. Reality, as a construct, exists as separate from untapped reaches of intuition and insight. A-U-M is the framework for systematic study of the manner by which the totality of existence is collapsed / expanded into that silent spaciousness.
