Saturday Morning Session

JJ:  I need to get a few materials for the next session. Meanwhile we might as well work on raising our vibration up some. One of the benefits of "OM" is that it destroys negative energy. It's actually a destroying sound. People don't really think of it as a destroying sound because they think of it as a sacred word that uplifts the spirit. But if used properly it uplifts the spirit because it destroys negativity. It destroys limitations that prevent us from raising our consciousness up. On the other hand the "AUM" can be used for a building energy for it has building sounds. The hard "O" is the most powerful destroying sound.

What word can you think of that has this destroying sound in it? "Oh, no" right? When destruction is happening around you, you say, "Oh no." Isn't it interesting how much that sounds like the "OM"? Another interesting thing about the "OM" is that if you say it over and over, "Om, Om, Om, Om, Om" it sounds like you're saying, "Omomomom" which sounds like [the word] "'Mom'." That connection is interesting. The "AUM" repeated, "AUM, AUM, AUM" sounds like ancient words used for 'Father.' So we have "AUM" or father for building, and "OM" as a destructive word, even though it's reversed to what it is in reality. This often happens. Some of the correspondences are reversed so that when they come from the higher to the lower everything materializes backwards. In this world mother builds and father is more of the destroyer but as far as the sounds representing them, the "OM" is the destroying word. There is a great mystery behind the sounds. I haven't taught much on the science of the sounds yet but if you contemplate how similar "oh, no" is to the "OM" a lot of revelation is in store. It can be used to understand the powers of the sounds.

  

Audience:  "So we don't want to use the 'OM' because it's destructive?"

JJ:  No, you do want to use it that way. You want to concentrate on anything negative that's holding back the positive. Think on this when you say the "OM." Sometimes in my life I'll pick up some negative vibrations and not know where they're coming from. So I say the "OM" over and over and think of destroying these negative emotions. It really works better than anything I've ever tried.

  

Audience:  "Can you say it to yourself?"

JJ:  Yes, I say it while driving down the road. That's a good time. You can even say it silently. Saying the "OM" vocally is really just practice to saying the silent "OM" which can be done by the power of thought. The training wheels to saying the "OM" is to say it vocally. As we say it vocally we think of what it does internally. I say the "OM" the most when I'm driving down the road because it's an alone time. Nobody will think you're weird. If you think you feel any negativity creeping in or you're picking up negative vibrations, say the "OM" over and over, concentrating not on hurting any individual but just destroying the negativity.

If the negativity comes from a certain person they'll be a little besides themselves because they'll feel a vacuum. It will be a strange feeling for them because they won't understand why they're being affected the way they are. Let's concentrate on this. One thing I like about this group is that it's very positive. Everyone here seems to really enjoy each other's company. Bryan and I were just watching the group and commenting to each other how much everyone seems to enjoy everyone else. So there may not be much negativity here to destroy but we can always elevate ourselves a little higher. Follow me in saying the "OM." When you say it, visualize that anything that is limiting or taking away from a spiritual experience is being dissolved into nothingness.

We'll say several long "OM's." Just follow along as I say them...

The audience together with JJ say:

"O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M."

  

JJ:  Which center do you think it would be best to concentrate on? Third eye? Right. Concentrate on your third eye, right here [points to the middle of his brow]...

The audience together with JJ say:

"O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M."

  

JJ:  This time concentrate on a light coming out from your third eye, first of all like a beam then spreading out until it encircles the whole room, the aura and all the atmosphere around you...

The audience together with JJ say:

"O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M."

  

JJ:  This time visualize the light again but feel your heart energies being involved and feel yourself being lifted up like you don't weigh anything, like you're being elevated...

The audience together with JJ say:

"O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M."

  

JJ:  Again...

The audience together with JJ say:

"O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M."

  

JJ:  Are you feeling lighter Phillip? Let's go lighter still...

The audience together with JJ say:

"O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M."

  

JJ:  Again...

The audience together with JJ say:

"O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M."

  

JJ:  This time think of your body being lighter merely as your consciousness being lighter. Visualize your consciousness being raised up...

The audience together with JJ say:

"O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-M."
