Om

I'm looking through my Bible. The more I absorb myself in this new idea of how the Universe looks, the more I understand its religious implications. I don't consider christianity any more valid than any other religion, (or belief system including atheism) anywhere through-out the world, but it just happens to be easier for my frame of reference.

In Genesis 1-3, we have - "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light."

In the Gospel of John 1:1 it is written -"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

There is a distinction between the two. Is it saying that light is the Word, and the Word is God? Does it also imply that heaven and the earth are the Word?

Then we have Om, the first word of creation - a vibrating energy - which seems to tie in nicely with the above.
