“An aspect of Spirit, even more important than the Light, is the Sound.
“The Sound Current is actually the Voice of God. This Voice, the creative current from God, is like a pebble thrown into a quiet lake, causing ripples to go out. These waves must always come back to the center; it’s the returning wave that we seek.
“This is what Soul is looking for: to return to the God center, the God Consciousness.
“Look for this wave. Listen for this sound as you sing the sacred HU.”
