The A-U-M mantra bridges the gap between material reality and the deeper essence of No-Thing-Ness, facilitating clarity and unification with the vast, tangible, intangibility of existence. It highlights the impermanence of solid-state perceptions, presenting a pathway to intuitive understanding and the interconnectedness and oneness of all vibratory states.
The A-U-M Chant, comprising the sounds A, U, and M, represents the beginning, middle, and end of a cycle, with M symbolizing the deep sleep state and the convergence of self and not self into mutual negation. The M sound gradually leads into silence, allowing for complete release into a void while maintaining awareness. This chant is self-sustaining and indicative of profound stillness. The M represents destruction and dissolution through Shiva and Parvati, who create, sustain, and dissolve the universe in eternal harmony.
The A-U-M (OM) chant encompasses and empowers the psycho-mental make-up of the individual. The 'U' is the state of active unconscious functioning. It is associated with the 'non-self' perception of reality.
The A-U-M chant can be conceptualized as a three part whole. There is the Waking State (Active Consciousness). The 'A' can be likened to the aspect of the 'waking state'.
The AUM (OM) chant is more than a mystical concept; it is part of everyday consciousness. Dividing reality into arbitrary aspects of three facilitates dealing with everyday mundane life, but AUM (OM) coalesces these aspects into a synchronous energetic locus point, aiding in manifesting potential. By vocalizing AUM (OM) with intention, one can feel its powerful reverberation and use it to calm mental chatter, develop conscious awareness, and harmonize reality's divisions.
