Sound the Beginning Post 1 - (764)

Introduction

The following series of posts are a little bit of information about sound and mantras. I think that, especially if you are studying Gnosis, knowing about sound and mantras is worthwhile because in Gnostic practice much use is made of mantras.


Sound - the Beginning and the Highest

Sound is the beginning and it is also the highest. Why one may ask. Isn’t light the highest and wasn’t light the first thing that was manifest in creation? After all we are all seeking enlightenment and that seems to be the highest goal that a human being can achieve. Not bad, but sound is still the beginning and the highest. Read on to learn why.



In the Beginning…

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.”

John 1, verses1-5.

As the bible says creation is due to the word or to sound and light exists in creation. Light is only present in creation and what is before creation or light is darkness or uncreated light. Please note, though this darkness is not evil. It is the obscure profound darkness of non-being that is in the Absolute.


Elohim – Army of the Word

Master Samael says it was the Elohim who are the army of the word that sung (using sound or the word) creation into existence. Sounds is a very creative force, we just have to look at the creative power of our own words and see how what we say creates numerous good and bad circumstances for us and others.

Conclusion

This planet and the universe that we know and the parts that we don’t know and don’t see are a result of the divine creative word. Sound or the word precede light and creation.
