“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

— John 1:1, The Gospel of John.

 

Unlike seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting and touching which absorb energy, the spoken word is like the Big Bang; a burst of energy from within to without.

Words are a medium for consciousness to define and give agency to infinite everchanging things from a universe that is an eternal flow.

Words transform God into man and man into God.

As a mantra, meditating on a word (its sound, meaning, etymology and uses), we realize its allusions are illusions as we melt into the eternal flow of the universe.
