The Secret Meaning of AUM

Abstract

There is a deeper meaning for many common words and phrases, than their dictionary definition would imply, and even more so for those used in meditation or prayer.  Words can be used to set the tone, open channels of communication or psychic and spiritual awakening, or express feelings and ideas for which there are no ready definitions.  But there are primal utterances as well, which need no definition.  One of the oldest words used for chanting during meditation is a combination of three primal utterances, which express three moods or modes of being.  The word is AUM.
