Chanting. We ask you to give it a try. Why? For in the act of repeating a sound, you do experience the act of creation. You come to a greater understanding of the Creator and of yourself as the same.
Find a quiet place. Relax the body. Breathe deeply for a few moments, then choose the sound of creation to begin: Om. A perfect vibration. Your body will be well pleased with how this feels as you string one tone after another. And then, as you intone this sacred sound, you will begin to understand how life works. From the silence arises a vibration. After it has been created, it is sustained. Consciousness determines the length of its existence. And then, after the fullness of experience, it returns to the silence, the cycle complete. Like all cycles, it begins again: creation, sustainment, and extinction. Om. Om. Ommmmmm.
You may create a burst of short chants, or sustain many long tones in a row. Do you see how you create? Always from the silence, and always back to the silence does the vibration return, again and again. And what is doing the creating? Consciousness. What is that which is created? The Word.
Play with Om and experience God.
