THE BAHÁ’I FAITH / BUDDHISM / TIBETAN BUDDHISM / CHRISTIANITY / GNOSTICISM / THE ESSENES

THE BAHÁ’I FAITH

“O SON OF DUST! Blind thine eyes, that thou mayest behold My beauty; STOP THINE EARS, that thou mayest HEARKEN UNTO THE SWEET MELODY OF MY VOICE; empty thyself of all learning, that thou mayest partake of My knowledge; and sanctify thyself from riches, that thou mayest obtain a lasting share from the ocean of My eternal wealth.” ~ The Hidden Words by Lord Bahá'u'lláh (vegetarian)

“We must thank God that he has created for us both material blessings and spiritual bestowals. […] He has designed the outer ear to enjoy the melodies of sound, AND THE INNER HEARING wherewith we may hear HEAR THE VOICE OF OUR CREATOR.” ~ The Promulgation of Universal Peace by ‘Abdu’l-Bahá (vegetarian)

BUDDHISM

“Those of you with more to learn, those enlightened by conditions, and those who are SOUND-HEARERS have now turned your minds to pursue the attainment of supreme Bodhi, the unsurpassed, wonderful enlightenment.” ~ The Surangama Sutra

“I now submit to the World Honored One That all Buddhas in this world appear to teach the most appropriate method which consists in using PERVASIVE SOUND. The state of samadhi can be realized by means of HEARING. […] Ananda and all you who listen here should INWARD TURN YOUR FACULTY OF HEARING TO HEAR YOUR OWN NATURE which alone achieves supreme Bodhi. That is how enlightenment is won. Buddhas as many as the Ganges’ sand entered this one gateway to Nirvana. All past Tathagatas have achieved this method. All Bodhisattvas now enter this perfection. All who practice in the future should rely on this Dharma.”

Samadhi means a deep meditative state. Nirvana means the highest paradise. Tathagatas means Buddhas. Bodhisattvas means spiritual practitioners. Dharma means true teaching. ~ The Surangama Sutra

TIBETAN BUDDHISM

“[During the ceremony] Milarepa said to the vase, ‘I am now too old, please initiate them yourself.’ Thereupon, the vase flew up into the sky, and initiated all the disciples one by one. During this, [THEY ALL] HEARD HEAVENLY MUSIC in the sky and smelled a fragrance they had never smelled before; also, they beheld flowers falling down from the firmament, and many other wondrous, auspicious signs. All the disciples came to a full realization of the wise meanings of the Initiation.” ~ The Hundred Thousand Songs of Milarepa (vegetarian)

CHRISTIANITY

“In the beginning was THE WORD, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” ~ Holy Bible, John 1:1

“Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit, which is the WORD OF GOD.” ~ Holy Bible, Ephesians 6:17

“And I HEARD A SOUND FROM HEAVEN like the roar of rushing waters and like a loud peal of thunder. The SOUND I HEARD was like that of harpists playing their harps.” ~ Holy Bible, Revelations 14:2

GNOSTICISM

“I am the voice whose SOUND is manifold and the WORD whose appearance is multiple. I am the name of the SOUND and the SOUND of the name.” ~ Nag Hammadi, Codex VI, The Thunder, Perfect Mind

“I am the WORD Who dwells in the ineffable Silence. I dwell in undefiled Light and a Thought revealed itself perceptibly through the GREAT SOUND.” ~ Nag Hammadi, Codex XIII, The Trimorphic Protennoia

“Thus the LOGOS OF THE FATHER goes forth into the All, being the fruit of His heart and expression of His will. It supports the All. It chooses and also takes the form of the All, purifying it, and causing it to return to the Father and to the Mother, Jesus of the utmost sweetness.”

Logos means Word. ~ Nag Hammadi, Codex XII, The Gospel of Truth

THE ESSENES

“Then it is that you shall let into your ears the HOLY STREAM OF SOUND; for it can only be heard in the silence. […] Truly, this is the VOICE OF GOD, if you did but know it. For as it is written, in the beginning was the SOUND, and the SOUND was with God, and the SOUND WAS GOD. […] It is the HOLY STREAM OF SOUND that traverses the vault of stars and crosses the endless kingdom of the Heavenly Father. It is ever in our ears, so do we hear it not. Listen for it, then, in the silence of noontide; bathe in it, and let the rhythm of the music of God beat in your ears until you are one with the HOLY STREAM OF SOUND.

[…] And you shall bathe in the STREAM OF SOUND, and the music of its waters shall flow over you; for in the beginning of the times so did we all share in the HOLY STREAM OF SOUND that gave birth to all creation. And the mighty roaring of the Stream of Sound will fill your whole body, and you will tremble before its might. Then breathe deeply of the angel of air, and become the Sound itself, that the HOLY STREAM OF SOUND may carry you to the endless kingdom of the Heavenly Father, there where the rhythm of the world rises and falls.” ~ Essene Gospel of Peace
