The
connection with the vibration
Motion
equal vibration, vibration equal sound. I read this
statement into a physics book. If in our universe,
therefore, everything moves, so everything vibrates. And
if everything vibrates, the universe has got his sound
that is the sum of the heavenly bodies sound.
So, physics agrees with philosophical religious
interpretations which establish sound as primary
principle. Think of induism and Om sound or of our
religious culture’s “At the beginning was the Word” .
The most reliable indian philosophical movements
establish that man (microcosm) is made of the same
substance of God (macrocosm), as a result, we can study
human components and reactions to understand the
universal ones.
If someone undergoes an electroencephalogram, we can see
the following reactions: with cerebtal activity that is
the reveal of vibrations, in short, the instrument
needle changes into visible graphic signs. In this
article, we want to examine an aspect of this
phenomenon. If we put a subject in ideal conditions of
cerebral activity’s reduction, on an empty stomach, in a
silent and colourless room, if he closes his eyes, and
then we put an apple in front of him and we exhort him
to open his eyes, we observe that, as soon as the
subject sees the apple and starts a primordial cerebral
activity, that is his first desire to eat it, the needle
moves. I want to prove that the desire of eating the
apple that precedes the action itself is already a
vibrational reality. The indian culture states that the
desire of giving birth to the manifestation by the
transcendental is already an absolutely concrete
activity, a primary vibration expressed by the
trascendental itself, as the desire into the mind of the
man who sees the apple. This vibration is the Om. The Om
precedes the manifestation’s expression. It is like to
say that this vibration is betweenthe idea and his
materialization or his put into practice.
This is why yoga lessons start singing the Om. To make
pupils able to suggest to themselves that they are at
least between the material and the trascendental,
between the touchable manifestation and God and to start
examinating phenomenon from that point of view. Yoga, in
fact, aims at the trascendental experience and with the
Om is like if we decide to find our rightful place on a
space platform between man and God, between the
spiritual and the physical. From this platform we can
hazard the supposition of a journey towards the
superhuman experience.
Now, let’s see other Om’s aspects. It represents the
total of all sounds that are in the manifestation. The
Sanskrit language thought to gather together in 50
sounds the universal vibrations’ typology, giving birth
to the same number of graphic signs that correspond to
the alphabet’s letters. Three of these letters, that
later will become two, and we’ll see how, practically
include all of them.
These sounds correspond to the letters A U M. From a
practical point of view the letter A, when is
pronounced, and you try to do it, has a physical placing
that is low in the throat, the letter U is in the middle
of the palate and the letter M on the lips. All other
sounds are placed in the oral cavity in these three
positions, that include all of them, assuming his right
value of universal synthesis.
Here is what Om represents: the universal synthesis of
the divine physical vibration expressed.
The starting poin is always the awareness of the
manifold, then comes the identification of expressions
that can be gather together, in the attempt,
simplifying, to get the experience of the One. Also in
this case, the infinite variety of sounds in the
Universe is organized into 50 letters-sounds, to then
identify three of them that represent all of them, and,
at last, to find that the A and the U, if pronounced
together, can easily be contracted in the O sound. So
the sacred syllable Om, that expresses the universal
vibration, principle of manifestation, takes on a
definite shape.
For the same presupposition a basic Om would result from
the sum of all sounds that particles, active inside us,
emit. A kind of personal sound for each being or living
object, its caracteristic, its tendency and vibrational
sensibility. We reasonably think that this sound can be
modified. Here we find mantra science, that aims to
graft changing processes, new determining
charactreistics.
The word Mantra, litterally means instrument for the
mind, and it is something that can induce a different
vibrational nature.
As we said at the beginning, mind emits different kinds
of vibration. It certainly happened to you to enter in
some places where the presence of the people’s low
quality thoughts made yourselves to feel ill at ease.
The kind of vibration that a killer’s mind emits is very
different from the kind of a mother to her baby. You can
notice it also in practice: the mother’s voice has
shrill, high and acute tones, certainly of a higher
nature. Of a different quality are cerebral waves, in
fact, that she emits.
From this starting presupposition, mantra establishes
that we can practice, voluntarily, different kinds of
cerebral waves, and, through the obsessive repetition,
we can even modify the natural ones. The aim is to
induce the better ones, so that the mind will get the
habit to have thoughts of the same nature.
This is what mantra proposes, in some case, it has the
claim to bring the mind to vibrate in unison with God.
