Med Festival painting


"Aum"
"pictograms,glyphs,signs,ymbols,musical notation"
pythagorus regarded music as a harmony of numbers with the cosmos.
"sound numbers"
jasper johns series of number paintings in layers, zero to nine are superimposed producing a systematic abstract image non of the figures are clearly visible.
"voices" one of sams tunes says "voices inside my head...echoes things that you said" there is a repetition of these words.
"Aum" is the first mantra and one of the most powerful and most famous in Hindu tradition.
it is the most emphatic symbol of the godhead, which expresses externally and actualises internally in the soul.
it is the epitome of the creative breath.
"Aum" is the primeval sound, the Word that created the universe, to say it releases a considerable ammount of energy which is extraordinarily effective in terms of spiritual transformation.
in hindu thought.....the thought is both God and the originator of all things, and endows mantras with their magical powers.
" Aum" is three worlds...Space ....Earth and Heaven............ it can be Body..Mind...and Soul?
When you look at the painting say "Aum" over and over again to yourself either outloud or silently.allow yourself to let go.....experience for yourself the power of this mantra.

“ Aum means the first vibration, that sound, that spirit which sets everything else into being………it is the first syllable, the primal word, the word of Power”

John Coltrane
