Sound-Silence Relationship

Is there a difference between sound and silence, or is either frequency created with the same matter? In other words, is the sound of HU the sound of silence, and if so, how can we define/experience it?

I would like to encourage you to try to figure this out for yourself. As a hint to one of the answers Paul Twitchell quotes Rebazar Tarzs in the book The Far Country: “Only by entering into divine silence and closing our eyes and ears to the world of illusion can we hear the celestial melody…”

If you know your answer, here is another quote from the same book: “We call impersonal that state of intuition in which our thought is no longer divided into a thinking subject and an external world, but rather the outer world is abolished by its integration into our personal consciousness.”

Fear is ignorance

I know you cannot give a man anything greater than he is (paraphrasing Paul Twitchell). If you do, and sometimes it is unavoidable, this person will act upon his fear of the "greater" which is counterproductive to the original intention.

It is also true, as Ralph Waldo Emerson said, that "fear always springs from ignorance", but if someone wants to reside in ignorance -- so be it.

Working with sound (or the light) on the inner is very similar. You go as far as you want to and are comfortable with experiencing.

You are the sound

If you visit the link given yesterday and downloaded the HU Chant, you had a chance to experience the HU sound. Here is another link with a 64kbps HU Chant on it.

If you can, try to experience the sound without having emotions, thought or direction interfere. Simply listen to it and if you are comfortable, let it enter your heart, so you can become part of the HU. When you open yourself like this you now are part of the sound. It is no longer on the outside, but is now generated on the inside. Ergo: you are the sound.

What is HU?

"HU is woven into the language of life. It is the Sound of all sounds. It is the wind in the leaves, falling rain, thunder of jets, singing of birds, the awful rumble of a tornado.

Its sound is heard in laughter, weeping, the din of city traffic, ocean waves, and the quiet rippling of a mountain stream. And yet, the word HU is not God, ITSELF. It is a word people anywhere can use to address the Originator of Life."
