HU :

The Sound of the Unknown

(Divine Essence)

Compiled by Luke Andrews

In Egypt, the word khu, ‘Great Hu’, meant the shining, translucent, transparent, intangible

essence of man. Hu is apparent in Dyhu or Dyu, the bright and heavenly ...

Another ancient wisdom tradition from Aboriginal Australia, perhaps the oldest surviving culture of humanity perhaps 70,000

years old, describes the nature of unified consciousness as the Rainbow Snake: "Oneness is essence, purity, creativity, love,

unlimited, unbounded energy. Many of the tribal stories refer to the Rainbow Snake which

represents the weaving line of energy or consciousness that starts as total peace, changes vibration, and becomes color, sound,

and form" (Morgan, "Mutant Message Down Under" p 149).

Zikr, dhikr: means remembrance. In a practical sense it refers to the internal or external

repetition of the phrase, La'illaha il' Allahu (There is nothing other than You, O God. You alone are God). The zikr is said to have at least three

parts. The first part, La'illaha, is the denial, the abandonment of everything, the depths. The second part, il'Allah, is the actual intrusion, the explosion into the individual, of divine

presence. Hu, the third part, is the out-breathing of that divine presence.

One sufi teacher, Bawa Muhaiyaddeen,

advised his students to repeat and reflect upon the zikr with every breath. A student asked the teacher, "But how is that possible-I mean, how could anyone do that?" The teacher said, "It is like driving a car. At fist you think it is difficult, but you get used to it. It becomes natural. After awhile, you can even drive and talk at the

same time."

"The breath naturally releases expressions of joy, sorrow, pain, and confusion. But as

children, we were taught to keep our sounds to ourselves. To hold in those sounds and store up those emotions is to push them into deeper

(4)

and disease over extended periods of time. There are many ways to release the emotions, but the efficiency of sound to balance and

deter negative emotions is extraordinary."--Don G. Campbell, "The Roar of Silence"

"All that scientists know is the cosmos was spawned from nothing, and will return to the nothing from whence it came. The universe begins and ends with zero."

Charles Seife, ZERO: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea

"The forms of snowflakes and faces of flowers may take on their shape because they are

responding to some sound in nature. Likewise, it is possible that crystals, plants, and human beings may be, in some way, music that has taken on visible form." Cathie Guzett

The Relation Between Sound and Silence We usually think of sound and silence as two

opposite concepts. In fact, they are not really opposites of each others.

Both sound and silence represent two forms of sounds:

sound as we know it represents audible sound. It is the sound of the Known.

On the other hand,

silence represents non-audible sound. It is the sound of the Unknown.

Silence is the sound of the Unknown.

The Unknown is referred to as "Hu" in Ancient Spirituality.

“Hu” is both a sound and a Holy Name of God.

(6)

the universe.

It is the smallest sound, or the smallest vibration,

that is produced whenever an object moves in the universe.

Since nothing in creation is in perfect state of rest

(electrons are constantly moving around the nucleus),

it is safe to say that there is no place in creation where the

sound "Hu" is not produced.

Therefore, the real meaning of Silence, which is perfect absence of sound,

does not exist in the universe.

In this world, when we seek to immerse ourselves in Silence,

we are not trying to shut our ability to hear sounds.

On the contrary, we are trying to increase our ability to hear a very specific sound:

the vibrating sound of the Universe, which is the

sound of our inner Soul.

That sound is the eternal vibration of "Huuuuuu".

Hu.—The Supreme Word.

HU: Divine Essence, The Lost Word, Cosmic Vibrational Expression, Cosmic Life, Divine

Word, Divine Sound, Mother, Holy Spirit HU: The secret name for God; the spirit current, the prime mover and the first impulse

that came from the deity and also the first cause of motion, color and form.

Hu is the universally sacred word or name of God, regarded as a sacred sound. Hu is a vibratory tone used for centering oneself and

attuning to the divine in each of us.

Word origin: God - Our word god goes back via Germanic to Indo-European, in which a

corresponding ancestor form meant “invoked one.” The word’s only surviving non-Germanic relative is Sanskrit Hu, invoke the gods, a form which appears in the Rig Veda, most ancient of

(9)

Hindu scriptures: puru-hutas, “much

invoked,” epithet of the rain-and-thunder god Indra. (From READER’S DIGEST, Family Word Finder, page 351) (Originally published by The Reader’s Digest Association, Inc., Pleasantville New York, Montreal; Copyright (C) 1975)

I'm going to discuss a brief history of the Hu. Just say Hu . The Hu is an ancient name. It creates a vibration and basically restores the harmony within each of us. The Hu goes back

(10)

traced it back 5,000 years to the Egyptians. The Egyptians used it at the Sphinx. They would all gather at the Sphinx and Hu from dusk till dawn. They would chant Hu to create a

vibration to keep them in the zone and also to contact divine spirit. The Hu has been

mentioned, historically, all the way down through the ages. From the Egyptians, to the Druids, to the Kabbalah, it's mentioned in the Gnostic Gospels, it's mentioned in the Oxford English Dictionary. The Hu has been around for at least 5,000 years. They have used the Hu for

healing, for re-tuning the central nervous system, and today, modern times, it's

mentioned in Eckankar. And, Eckankar uses the Hu as a tool for reducing anxiety, insomnia, fear, and depression. And that is a brief history

of the Hu. So, remember, just say Hu .

" I dwell in undefiled Light and a Thought revealed itself perceptibly through the great Sound...And it is a Word by virtue of the Sound;

it was sent to illumine those who dwell in darkness...I am a Light that illuminates the All.

I am the Light..."

"HU is the sublime essence of the transcendent family

HU is the life force of the dharmapalas, the protective deities

HU is the life force of the ati yoga, the Natural Great Perfection (Dzogchen)

HU in a general way purifies obscurations which stem from all emotional afflictions

Through HU one realizes the pristine awareness of basic space

Through HU one gains control of the malevolent influences of planetary

configurations and earth spirits

HU accomplishes wrathful enlightened activity HU averts the negative influences of gods,

demons, humans, samsaric gods

HU defeats the armies of gods, demons and humans

HU brings about the siddhi of accomplishing whatever one wishes

HU transfers consciousness to the central pure realm of Unwavering"

"What you are experiencing and call dualism is a view from another position of your

assemblage point. From that position, you can feel the older side of man. And what the older side of man knows is called Silent Knowledge.

It is a knowledge that you cannot yet voice. Because in order for you to voice it, you must

have an inordinate amount of energy. Silent knowledge is something that all of us have.

Something that has complete mastery, complete knowledge of everything. But it cannot think, therefore it cannot speak of what

it knows. Sorcerers believe that when man became aware that he knew, and wanted to be

conscious of what he knew, he lost sight of what he knew. This silent knowledge, which you cannot describe, is, of course, Intent- the spirit, the abstract. Man's error was to want to know it directly, the way he knew everyday life.

The more he wanted, the more ephemeral it became. It means that man gave up silent knowledge for the world of reason, the more he

clings to the world of reason, the more ephemeral intent becomes."

Don Juan in The Power of Silence - Carlos Castaneda

"In English the word 'human' explains two facts that are

characteristic of humanity: Hu means God and man means mind. . ."- Hazrat Inayat Khan

"Esoterically, the "h" sound is universally associated with breath and spirit."-William

Henry

“The most fundamental sound in every

religious practice I know, whether it’s Christian Gregorain chants, the Jewish mystical

Kabbalistic tradition, Sanskrit, Native American, or Islamic Sufi practice, is the sound HU—the basic healing sound that connects all of us with

our heart center. This exercise gives you the opportunity to invoke that sound at the same

time that you feel the force behind your breath." - medical oncologist Mitchell Gaynor,

M.D.

In Sanskrit Hu is ‘he-who-is-poured out’. Hu-Siris was one of the Greek names for Osiris, the serpent-soul or worm who lived within the

Pillar of Love. The idea of the pouring out of the Holy Spirit or possibly the Holy Wisdom is echoed in the writings of the Hebrew prophets from Isaiah to Joel. These prophets said that at

the last God will pour out his spirit, not upon the few initiates only, but upon all flesh. -

"And that which came to meet the soul(as light and sound come to meet our outer eyes and

ears)was called HU, the spiritual world." (p. 137)

"The God HU was the all-ruling Divinity of Western Celtic mythology. He represented the

power and the glory of the spiritual world." (p. 153)

"The Mysteries of HU revealed the other pole of human life:the ascent out of the body into the

'glorified' state of expansionof the

consciousness in the spiritual world." (p. 153) "And HU could bring music to the

consciousness of waking manand teach it to him, because he himself could hear in sleepthe

harmonies of the spheres, and his passage from wakingto sleeping to waking was unbroken by any obliteration of consciousness.

This was always the summit of initiation experience." (p. 165)

(Anacalypsis)

"Hu is a sacrificial sound. The sanskrit syllable hu means to invoke, to call upon, to perform a

sacrificial rite. Hu is the descent into the Human heart. Hu consists of the aspirate, h ,

and a long vowel u. The aspirate is the very sound of the breath ( prana, chi, spirit, life force) the very essence of life, the sound of

prana, the subtle life force, the soul in its original not yet egocentrically distorted individualized form, the ever in and out

flowing, all embracing life force. The long vowel u is the sound of the deep, vibrating forth in the void, where it merges into the inaudible. U

is the lower limit in the tonal scale of the Human voice, the threshold of silence, or as it

is expressed in tibetan, "the door of the inaudible". Hu is symbolized in the Buddha's

touching of the Earth, calling the Earth as a witness of innumerable acts of self-sacrifice. Hu is the infinite in the finite, the eternal in the

temporal, the timeless in the moment, the unconditioned in the conditioned, the formless

ephermal, the Great Mirror which reflects the Void as much as objects and reveals the emptiness in the things as much as the things

in the emptiness." - Lama Angarika Govinda

"The word HU can help you to relieve stress, gain inspiration, find solutions, melt away bad karma, remember dreams, restore confidence, become more aware, become more loving, and

grow closer to God. But don't take my word for it."

Noble Sir "Craftsman" (Korea)

HU is one of the most universal and ancient of names for God at the highest positive and

formless levels of pure Spirit.

HU is the Heavenly Universal sound to be found in nearly every single Spiritual tradition. Thus

because HU is known to every religious tradition it is truly suitable for everyone to use. The Elders and Shamans of Africa, India, Druids

and Celtic Shaman of Great Britan, North and South America all know HU as part of their Sacred oral traditions and often HU is used in

(17)

their most Esoteric initiations. The ancient Lemurians, Atlanteans, Eqyptians, Greeks and

earliest Christains also knew the HU.

HU was the chant used in Lemuria and Atlantis, upon Venus and other planetary worlds. HU is

the major chant of every Golden Age.

HU can be sung in a long sustained melodic tone----it is pronounced like the word, hue.

To do this love song to God, simply sit in a comfortable position and sing HUuuuuuuuuuuu

out loud for a few minutes until you feel a natural urge to cease chanting.

Then quietly turn your attention to your third eye to the center of your skull --- between your

ears so to speak---and "listen" to the inner sound current of God. It has been described as

a "ringing radiance" which describes it well.

This inner sound current is your connection always to God and is His inner Word or Voice

also known as the Holy Spirit.

You will in time hear different tones and sounds as you listen. Each denotes a specific realm, or

dimensional plane in which you---as a Soul are traveling in consciousness.

(18)

to each of these planes.

The HU chant may be varied by prouncing and chanting the H then the U in separate long drawn out tones. Or as HOoooooo (sounds like

who).

Hu Mantra Meanings: Another simple mantra is Hu. The Sufi belief system holds Hu as the sound of god, the sound of divinity. Another modern belief system, Eckankar, also uses the

Hu mantra extensively. (A side note: I've participated in some amazing Hu chants where

more than a thousand participants were

gathered. The power and pure vibration of a Hu chant of this magnitude is amazing, leaving a

person feeling transformed and uplifted. If possible, experience it yourself.)

The Tao gives birth to one one gives birth to two two gives birth to three

three gives birth to ten thousand things ten thousand things with yin at their backs

and yang in their embrace and breath between for harmony

"The word is HU, the universal name of God, which is in the language of every living thing. It is everywhere, in everything.- Paul Twitchell

Shariyat-Ki-Sugmad - Book II

"HU is the ancient name for God, a love song to God. When Soul has heard this sound, Soul

yearns to go home." - Harold Klemp

Recognize that your imagination and your thinking and your sense-perception are reed

canes that children cut and pretend are horsies.

The Knowing of mystic Lovers is different. The empirical, sensory, sciences are like a donkey loaded with books, or like the makeup woman's

makeup. It washes off.

But if you lift the baggage rightly, it will give you joy. Don't carry your knowledge-load for some selfish reason. Deny your desires and

willfulness, and a real mount may appear under you.

0 The Hu Chant of the Sufis (Islamic Mystical Gnosis)

1 HU is the Sufi equivalent to the Hindu OOOM. The Sufi mantra HU (pronounced

"Huuuuuuuuuuuuuu") is a name of God which symbolizes, and even mimics to some extent, the Divine Vibration, the Music of the Cosmos, the Sound of the Creation called by Sufis

"Saut-e Sarmad". Lik"Saut-e Rumi and oth"Saut-er Sufi po"Saut-et- poet-mystics, Hazrat Sultan Bahu, 1628 -- 1691, often chanted and sung the praises of Huuuuu:

"Mystics live in this world as HU personified; they practice the Name that is the essence of God. They live in HU -- beyond religion, beyond belief and unbelief, beyond life and death .... In an ecstasy of love, you will repeat the Name of

HU constantly, devoting every breath of your life in contemplation of Him ... HU is within, HU is without, HU always reverberates in my heart. The wound in my heart aches constantly

(21)

with the unabating pain of HU's love. The darkness of ignorance departs from the heart

lit by HU [God, Allah]."

"Actually, the name "human" can be traced to Enki (a.k.a. EA). HU is a transliteration of the

ancient Sumerian EA (Grimms’ law of interchangeable letters and sounds). Isis (pronounced Ish-Ish, which is interesting, because in Hebrew ’Ish’ means ’man') was Enki’s mother. Isis was not Nibiruan; she was Sirian, with some Orion connections. His father was Anu. (Anu and his official wife, Antu, had a

son named Enlil.)

HU was also Horus, by the way, therefore another connection to Ninhursag, a.k.a. Hathor. What about EArth? EN.KI is "lord of

earth." In the early days on Earth, Enki’s symbol was the crescent moon with a bearded, olden god surrounded with flowing water. The crescent moon relates to science,

measuring, the oceans/tides - Enki’s

specialties. In later years, the crescent moon developed another association - keep reading.

In other ancient "mythology" Enki is known as Oannes, Ptah, Quezecotl, even as his own son,

In an article entitled "Finding the Holy Grail," psychologists Barry and Janae Weinhold make a claim, pointing out on the basis of decades of in-depth historical research that the "individual human body is the Holy Grail. It isn't something

'out there.' Like a tuning fork, the body can be tuned to different frequencies," including that

of Source, through DNA activation.

"Many indigenous traditions of Mesoamerica believe that [Source] emits a frequency or tone

known as 'Ge' that not only heals the Body-Mind-Spirit but provides immortality," write the

Weinholds, adding that the spiritual practices used in the ancient mystery schools of Egypt

and Greece employed a variety of … vibrational tools to attune people's DNA to Source. This caused the DNA to ring, sing or

vibrate so that it resonated with the tone of Ge--the frequency of Galactic Center. This attunement activated a San Graal or Song Grail--a "love song in the blood"--creating a rainbow bridge that synchronized an initiate's

consciousness with Source. This love song energetically united Heaven (Galactic Center)

with Earth (initiates), opening human hearts and pumping crystallized Ge-tuned blood through their bodies. From this perspective, "Ge-sus" is a Master Being sent from Tula or

(23)

DNA to the frequency of Ge so that we can return to Source.

In a nearly identical vein, Leonard Horowitz in DNA: Pirates of the Sacred Spiral writes that "DNA seems to be transmitting the equivalent

of heavenly love songs. From this music, played through genetic equipment, variations

in sacred geometric forms materialize in space."

The profound and numerous connections between the Egyptian Osirus and Jesus have been noted by generations of scholars. Among

many other similarities, both are linked to the phoenix or heron, represented in hieroglyphics coming from Galactic Center, also (as indicated

in the above quote by the Weinholds) called Tula, carrying the key of life.

In Egyptian hieroglyphics this key appears as an ankh, which may have been a type of actual

tuning fork for harmonizing with Galactic Center, or may have merely symbolized

techniques for producing this celestial

harmonization. In either case, the ankh or key of life is of a musical nature and designed to be

employed along with a type of inspired (and inspiring) speech known as the Language of the Birds. This powerful combination, properly performed, keys DNA to build the Holy Grail or

lightbody.

(24)

Weinholds who cite Henry's research, "is a vowel-only phonetic code … Genetic and linguistic research indicates that the five vowels correspond to the five letters used to

represent DNA and RNA … Initiates of the Language of the Birds who are able to speak or

tone these vowels in certain ways know that these sounds permanently activate the DNA of

all those who are able and willing to hear."

Extracts from “The Tibetan Book of the Dead” (Bardo Thodol), edited by Dr. W. Y.

Evans-Wentz (London, 1957):

"O nobly-born, when thy body and mind were separating, thou must have experienced a glimpse of the Pure Truth, subtle, sparkling,

bright, dazzling, glorious, and radiantly

awesome, in appearance like a mirage moving across a landscape in springtime in one continuous stream of vibrations. Be not daunted thereby, nor terrified, nor awed. That

is the radiance of thine own true nature. Recognize it.

From the midst of that radiance, the natural sound of Reality, reverberating like a thousand

thunders simultaneously sounding, will come. That is the natural sound of thine own real self.

(25)

Be not daunted thereby, nor terrified, nor awed."-Padmasambhava

Hunab Ku was, to the Mayas, the supreme God and ultimate Creator. It represented the gateway to other Galaxies

beyond our Sun as well as all of the

Consciousness that has ever existed in this Galaxy. Hunab Ku, according to the Mayas, is

also the Consciousness which organized all matter, from a "whirling disk", into stars, planets and solar systems. Hunab Ku is the "Mother Womb" which is constantly giving birth

to new stars and it gave birth to our own Sun and Planet Earth. They also believed that the "Creator" directs everything that happens in

our Galaxy from its center through the

emanation of periodic "Consciousness Energy" bursts. Today, modern astronomers have verified that at the center of our Galaxy is a "whirling disk" with a "Black Hole" at its center

that is both swallowing and giving birth to stars. Could the strange rumblings observed by

Dr. Scott Hyman and his associates earlier this year at the center of our Galaxy be connected

(26)

This is the most sacred symbol for the Highest Authority for the Milky Way Galaxy. The Universal Creative Intelligence is 'The Creator',

and the Hunab K'u was one of the Creator's agencies. The sacred “G” can be found all over

Central and South America and symbolises the Milky Way, the primordial configuration - the spiral, the source, the cosmic essence. It can

be found on the pyramids as the Giver of Movement and measure - measure of the soul

and movement of energy which is spirit. The Hunab Ku symbolizes form and energy, soul

and spirit, the geometric form is a square within the circle. Reference: Secrets of Mayan

"Earth gives off a relentless hum of countless notes completely imperceptible to the human ear, like a giant, exceptionally quiet symphony,

but the origin of this sound remains a mystery. Now unexpected powerful tunes have been discovered in this hum. These new findings could shed light on the source of this enigma.

The planet emanates a constant rumble far below the limits of human hearing, even when

the ground isn't shaking from an earthquake. (It does not cause the ringing in the ear linked

(27)

with tinnitus.) This sound, first discovered a decade ago, is one that only scientific instruments — seismometers — can detect.

Researchers call it Earth's hum.

Investigators suspect this murmur could originate from the churning ocean, or perhaps

the roiling atmosphere. To find out more, scientists analyzed readings from an exceptionally quiet Earth-listening research

station at the Black Forest Observatory in Germany, with supporting data from Japan and

China."-Charles Q. Choi

“The Supreme Being has been called by various names in different languages but the

mystics have known it as HU, the natural name, not the man-made, the only name of the

Nameless, which all nature constantly proclaims. The sound HU is the spirit of all sounds and all words, and is hidden within them all, as the spirit [is] in the body. It does not belong to any language, but no language can help belonging to it. This alone is the true

name of God, a name that no people and no religion can claim as their own. This word is not

only uttered by human beings but is repeated by animals and birds. All things and beings

proclaim this name of the Lord, for every activity of life expresses distinctly or

(28)

indistinctly this very sound. This is the word mentioned in the Bible as existing before light

came into being:

’In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God.’

-Hazrat Inayat Khan

"But of all words, the one perhaps of all sounds, the one to be most respected is the word Hu. Because it stands for everything. It

stands for that which is in every breath we breathe, and it stands for the source which can

only be reached by complete annihilation of everything, because it is beyond all existence,

beyond all being. You will have to use the word, but I came here to beg you to remember,

that you have chosen the holiest syllable that there is and if you've done that, you've taken on yourself a great responsibility. If you treat it

without this respect, it is sacrilege. It is only the fewest of the few, the rarest of the rare

who actually come to the reality of Hu. The very great chosen ones, chosen and sent; messengers. Only they can really say the word

Hu. Those who come directly from the source and will return to the source. They know what Hu is. So you must forgive me if I speak in that

way, and I did ask permission to do this. I was not invited. I thrust myself on you in that way and I came because this power which must be

(29)

obeyed, al Muti, who must be obeyed, made me come. There is within us all this power. But

to be able to listen to and be obedient to that power, we must put aside all visible and

thinkable things."

Publications.

In the beginning was the Word made flesh, made substance,brought into the dust and stones of the physicalso that matter might come into beingThe divine Breath, the sacred

'hu', breathed life into form,giving it life. Without it, nothing was made that was made. Now flesh, dust, and stones become the Word,

Reaching up, the particles of earth are transformed,Life and Light,the two becoming

one.

"I am the master of the tone ... All creatures, all things, even the seemingly lifeless ones, give

off tones.

Each being, each thing produces a special, characteristic tone which, however, changes as

the states of the being or thing by which it is produced change.

(30)

"Why?

"Beings and things are conglomerations of smallest particles, the so-called rdul phra ; they dance, and with their movements they produce

tones.

"This is what the teachings say: In the beginning was the wind. With its whirl, it created the gjatams , the primordial forms and

the prime base of the world. This wind sounded; thus it was the sound which formed

matter. The pounding of these first gjatams brought forth further forms which, by virtue of their sounds, in turn created new shapes. That is by no means a tale from days long passed, it

is still that way. The sound brings forth all forms and all beings. The sound is that through

which we live."

- an old Lama in Tibet, near the Chinese border,as told to Alexandra David-Neel(quote

from: Moenche und StrauchritterBrockhaus Verlag, Leipzig 1931)

(31)

In the beginning, wind ("lung") moved the Great Silence & created sound. From its vibrations, sound produced both subtle and

gross forms. In Creation Myths world-wide, sound is recognised as the womb from which

the Visible and Invisible emerged.

In ancient Egypt ordinary people were not allowed to listen when the Gods where singing

songs for self-healing, only the high priests were allowed to hear these songs. Much later

the Gods sent the priests out to chant these songs to heal people. This was the first time

that people used sound to heal.

Somehow this healing knowledge disappeared. As the Gods had taught that sound could move the Sun, it is maybe understandable that this knowledge was kept secret. It was Pythagoras, the Greek mathematician and philosopher, who

first stated that sound that could move mountains. His studies in sound were

published, but until today his work on healing is still not understood.

Singing Bowls originated in the pre Buddhist Shamanic Bon Po culture of the Himalayas. Though they are often called "Tibetan" singing

bowls, they seem to date back some 3000 years to the Bronze Age in China. In legend the

(32)

iron for the bowls came from meteorites found in the Himalayan Mountain tops: metal from

the Heavens. Unlike some Tibetan sound producing instruments whose use is well documented in the Tibetan Buddhist Canon,

there is absolutely nothing written about singing bowls, even though they have been found in both monasteries and private homes.

When questioned about the use of the bowls Tibetans are evasive, saying that they are

simply vessels for food.

The person that introduced Religion and Culture to Britain was the Druid Hesus also called Hu, the Celestial Sphinx. Hu was just like

Osiris crucified and his soul survived Death. In the Druid religion Hesus/Hu was fathered by

God and born of a Virgin Mother, Mayence.

Hear me, you hearers, and learn of my words, you who know me.

I am the Hearing that is attainable to everything;

I am the Speech that cannot be grasped. I am the name of the Sound and the Sound of

the Name…

I am the One who alone exists, And I have no one who will judge me.

Hu by Micha F. Lindemans

In Egyptian mythology the creating word of the sun-god of Heliopolis, personified in the same

god. With Sia he forms a primeval pair, both born from a drop of blood from the penis of Re,

and together the personify the insight and wisdom of the sun-god. They also accompany

him on his solar barque and help the bring order in chaos. When the pharaoh became a

lone star, his companion was Hu.

The name of Hu in hieroglyphs.

The Native American Tsalagi (Cherokee) legend says, "The primary tone, the foundation of all worlds, is sung by the quartz crystal." (Ywahoo,

1987, p. 33)

(34)

Pythagoras said: "It is better to be silent, or to say things of more value than silence." And

that is how the melody and rhythm of HU emanates the silence of the heart with

vibrations of the divine. The sound of HU is the source of all sound, and sound is as close to

the source of life as we can get. Any living being can experience sound first hand by vocally participating in it, but we can only experience light by being exposed to it. That is

because we can make a sound with our vocal cords, but we can not make a light with any organ of our physical body. If you can, try to experience the sound without having emotions,

thought or direction interfere. Simply listen to it and if you are comfortable, let it enter your heart, so you can become part of the HU. When

you open yourself like this you now are part of the sound. It is no longer on the outside, but is

now generated on the inside. Ergo: you are the sound.

HU, the sound of all sounds "The sound of HU is the source of all sound, and sound is as close

to the source of life as we can get. Any living being can experience sound first hand by vocally participating in it, but we can only experience light by being exposed to it. That is

because we can make a sound with our vocal cords, but we can not make a light with any

(35)

organ of our physical body.""Singing HU draws us closer in our state of consciousness to the Divine Being. This is its purpose. It is for those

who desire spiritual love, freedom, wisdom, and truth."

"HU-Man for the existences of the levels of the "Harmonic Universes of Man", "HU" as a harmonic frequency electric-tonal vibration and

geometric pattern existing as a specific dimensional plane, "HU" that when toned is a

mantra that reconnects us to a state of consciousness to the Being. That the

God-Being of the "HU" is the HU-Man incarnated on Earth."

The very name that is applied to Homo sapiens, the name human, which is normally abbreviated as man, has two roots. Hu means the divine resonance in the heart of man or the

divine word and man means soil or thinking or mind. Thus we see that there are two primary influences in man, who has been created in the likeness and image of God. The one influence is

the divine spark or the divine word, vibration, or sound (hu) which is anchored in the spiritual

heart of man and the other main influence is the physical (soil) and mental (emotion,

(36)

thinking or mind) nature of man.

Hu is chanted in a similar fashion to Om. Here is an example.

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. Allow the sound to come from deep within. Let it last as long as it wants to. Like the Om, it will immediately raise

your vibration and the vibration of the space you're in.

"F# is regarded with great respect by the ancient Chinese as Hu, the tone of the Earth. (Hu is also referenced by HU KUNG as

the origin of sound)). Native American flute makers to this day tune their instruments to serenade Mother Earth to this note. Silva also

references acoustician Tom Danley's work where he measures the resonant frequencies in

the Great Pyramid (cited above): The notes form an F# chord which, according to ancient Egyptian texts, was the harmonic of our planet.

Danley's tests show that these frequencies are present in the King's Chamber even when no

sounds are being produced..." the khu or intelligence.

(37)

of man was the khu, which, judging from the meaning of the word, may be defined as a "shining" or translucent, intangible casing or

covering of the body, which is frequently depicted in the form of a mummy. For want of

a better word khu has often been translated "shining one," "glorious," "intelligence," and the like, but in certain cases it may be tolerably

well rendered by "spirit." The ab or heart.

In close connection with the natural and spiritual bodies stood the heart, or rather that

part of it which was the seat of the power of life and the fountain of good and evil thoughts.

And in addition to the natural and spiritual bodies, man also bad an abstract individuality

or personality endowed with all his characteristic attributes. This abstract personality had an absolutely independent existence. It could move freely from place to place, separating itself from, or uniting itself to,

The sahu or spiritual body.

But the body does not lie in the tomb

inoperative, for by the prayers and ceremonies on the day of burial it is endowed with the power of changing into a sahu, or spiritual

body. Thus we have such phrases as, "I germinate like the plants,"[3] "My flesh

(38)

germinateth,"[4] "I exist, I exist, I live, I live, I germinate, I germinate,"[5] "thy soul liveth, thy

body germinateth by the command of Ra HU is one of the most universal and ancient of

names for God at the highest positive and formless levels of pure Spirit.

HU is the Heavenly Universal sound to be found in nearly every single Spiritual tradition. Thus

because HU is known to every religious tradition it is truly suitable for everyone to use. The Elders and Shamans of Africa, India, Druids

and Celtic Shaman of Great Britan, North and South America all know HU as part of their Sacred oral traditions and often HU is used in

their most Esoteric initiations.

The ancient Lemurians, Atlanteans, Eqyptians, Greeks and earliest Christains also knew the

HU.

HU was the chant used in Lemuria and Atlantis, upon Venus and other planetary worlds. HU is

the major chant of every Golden Age.

HU can be sung in a long sustained melodic tone----it is pronounced like the word, hue.

(39)

To do this love song to God, simply sit in a comfortable position and sing HUuuuuuuuuuuu

out loud for a few minutes until you feel a natural urge to cease chanting.

Then quietly turn your attention to your third eye to the center of your skull --- between your

ears so to speak---and "listen" to the inner sound current of God. It has been described as

a "ringing radiance" which describes it well. This inner sound current is your connection always to God and is His inner Word or Voice

also known as the Holy Spirit.

You will in time hear different tones and sounds as you listen. Each denotes a specific realm, or

dimensional plane in which you---as a Soul are traveling in consciousness.

You may see inner colors too that correspond to each of these planes.

The HU chant may be varied by prouncing and chanting the H then the U in separate long drawn out tones. Or as HOoooooo (sounds like

who).

Hu Mantra Meanings: Another simple mantra is Hu. The Sufi belief system holds Hu

(40)

as the sound of god, the sound of divinity. Another modern belief system, Eckankar, also

uses the Hu mantra extensively. (A side note: I've participated in some amazing Hu chants where more than a thousand participants were gathered. The power and pure vibration of a Hu

chant of this magnitude is amazing, leaving a person feeling transformed and uplifted. If

possible, experience it yourself.) Hu: The soundless-sound (a very high vibrational frequency) that results in the manifestation of Light into matter (or the same principal as "In the beginning was the "Word"). This seed syllable and the one that precedes it form the Sahu, the imperishable immortal light "body" the ancient Egyptians equated with the

star Sirius. In Tibetan mysticism, the

Dharmakaya ("Truth Body") is equivalent to the Sahu.

Hu : breath, the divine breath, the Great Breath, God, Spirit.

Hu : The essence of the Essence; the ever-present Divine sound; the "nameless Name" of

the Divine, Gods very face.

Hum or Hum (Sanskrit) A mystical syllable used as an interjection or exclamation in sentences in sacred texts such as mantras, closely akin to

(41)

and virtually identic with the sacred syllables Om and Aum. In Vedic ritual, used before the singing of the Prastava (prelude), as well as during the chanting of the Pratihara (response).

It is present in the well-known Tibetan mystical sentence Om mani padme hum.

Hu – The Supreme Being has been called by various names in different languages, which mystics have described as Hu. The sound Hu is

most sacred and is hidden in all sounds and in all words, as the spirit is [hidden] in the body. According to ancient texts, it alone is the true name of God, a name that no people and no

religion can claim as their own. Hu-man – In English, the word ‘human’ points to two characteristics of humanity: Hu meaning God

and man, from the Sanskrit mana, meaning mind. The two words united represent the idea

of the God-conscious man. In other words, Hu, God, is in all things and beings, but it is through man that God is known. Human therefore may be said to mean God-conscious,

God-realized, or God-man.

Hu is the sound of god, which manifests in two primary attributes, light and sound. Hu opens the path to the spiritual sound current

that soul uses to soul travel into the higher worlds of light and sound.

(42)

Hu's purpose is to help soul leave the lower world's physical bodies behind and to travel into the higher spiritual worlds as a celestial

light-being or as pure spirit.

"Hu" means to protect, support or guard (as in guarding one's thoughts). The middle

characters in the ``generation'' names are taken in sequence from a Zen poem by one of

the ancestors of the sangha (order).

Hu' (Hebrew) The pronoun he or it; used in the Qabbalah to represent the Macroprosopus or macrocosm because Macroprosopus is not so closely known as to be addressed in the second

person, but is called in the third person Hu'. "That, from which proceeds Ab, the 'Father';

therefore the Concealed Logos" (TG 143). Hu Gadarn (Welsh) Hu the Mighty; from the time of Owen Glyndwr to that of Henry VII of England, Hu Gadarn is constantly mentioned in

poetry, sometimes identified with Jesus Christ. From the period of Owen Glyndwr comes a

hymn to Hu:

The smallest of the small Is Hu Gadarn. . . .

And he is the greatest of the Great. An atom of light is his chariot.

(43)

Hu led the Cymry into the Island of the Mighty; with his yoke of Exalted Oxen he drew the

Afangc out of the Lake of Floods, thus preventing the drowning of the world; these

Exalted Oxen, Nynnio and Peibio, had been formerly kings of England and Scotland who, because of their arrogance in claiming kingship

of the galaxy, had been deposed by Rhita Giaut, King of Wales, and turned into oxen. Hu

Gadarn is also said to have had a white shield — corresponding in this instance to the shield

of Gyan of Persia.

There is no reference to Hu in the Mabinogi or the 6th century poets, though there was a Gaulish god, Hesus, who may be the same

individual.

Hu was the personification of the Divine Utterance, the Voice of the Gods (see Mythology). Hu was very important to the Pharaohs as the Voice of Command. Hu was

also the companion of the Pharaoh in the Afterlife. The Sphinx is believed to be a

The Great Sphinx of Giza, a representation of Hu.

Divine Utterance, Hu

Hu (mythology), the deification of the first word, in the Egyptian mythology of the Ennead

Hu also is referred to by the ancient Egyptians as the "divine utterance".

Associated with royalty, Hu was sometimes pictured as a sphinx. His name means

“Endlessness.”

Hu was a god (concept) who personified intelligence and the perceptive mind.

Hu was the personification of Divine Utterance, the voice of authority.

Hu was particularly important because he was the epitome of the power and command of the

ruler.

Hu allowed the King to cross the waters of his canal and acknowledged the King’s authority

and supremacy"

And HU could bring music to the consciousness of waking man and teach it to him, because he

(45)

himself could hear in sleep the harmonies of the spheres, and his passage from waking to

sleeping to waking was unbroken by any obliteration of consciousness.

"HU or He was the seed or essence, the form of deity that like littel Gwion is transformed from least to greatest: HU, the unpronounced either

with a light i-sound as he or heu'h, is the creative word, the seed of fire, the first sound."

The royal authority is maintained in the Afterlife by Hu acknowledging the king's supremacy and allowing the monarch to cross

the waters of his canal.

The HU has been in use for thousands of years by many different cultures and religious groups

as a means to have a greater conscious contact with the Light and Sound of God. HU is woven into the language of life. It is the

wind in the leaves, falling rain thunder of jets, singing of birds, the awful rumble of a tornado. Hu In Egyptian mythology, Hu is the god of the word which Ra used to create the world (and is

(46)

Saying HU for Protection

HU is a Holy sound that has helped me in some tight situations in the dream worlds. It is pronounced like the word 'hue', and is sung

(aloud or silently) HUUUUUUUUU...

What is HU?

HU is the Sanskrit word from which the English word 'God' may be derived and means

something like 'That which is invoked' (Oxford English Dectionary).

HU is Universal

References to HU can be found in many sacred traditions and in some secular texts. A few

examples: In ancient Egypt

HU personified the authority of a word of command.[1] This Utterance of God [2] is what we might call the Word or Logos, except that it

might be said/invoked by a HUman being. A King "had at his disposal two divine powers

that had stood at the side of the creator god himself: Sia, 'perception', and Hu, 'utterance'. Sia enable the king to perceive the plenitude of

(47)

meaning and to keep it in his mind ... whereas Hu gave his word the power to become a reality immediately. ... Hu was the creative will

of the creator god, directed toward plenitude, that expressed itself in words.[3]

In Celtic Mythology

The God HU was the all-ruling Divinity of Western Celtic mythology. He represented the

power and the glory of the spiritual world. ... The Mysteries of HU revealed the other pole of human life: the ascent out of the body into the

'glorified' state of expansion of the consciousness in the spiritual world."[4]

In Sufism

According to the Sufi tradition

This sound Hu is the beginning, and end of all sounds ... The Supreme Being has been called

by various names in different languages, but the mystics have known him as Hu. [5]

In Sant Mat

In the Sant Mat tradition of Northwest India, HU is a name for God. Current incarnations of this

tradtion, Radhasoami Satsang and Ruhani Satsang, as well as their Western offshoot, Eckankar, all encourage the chanting or singing

(48)

enlightenment.

Further examples of HU in sacred and secular texts may be found on the HU-page.

Hu = God

In reality, however, God does not have an image because It has no form, only an emanation of power which is called Hu. That

emanation is reflecting from the Divine

essence of “Hu” to the face of Prophet (s), and from Prophet (s) to creation, but in reality it reflects to the Saints because we have not yet

Divine inheritance. Therefore, we must seek to follow the guidance of Saints.

Hu- The Divine Pronoun; the Essence of Allah,

beyond Name, gender, form, and all human definition;

Often translated as “He” Hu: Divine Essence!

This name refers to the indescribable Essence of Allah beyond created attributes, the Essence

from which all qualities arise. Hu is also the Breath and Spirit of Allah blown into Adam, giving him life and making the human being

the Crown of Creation. As we recite Hu, it is Allah’s Breath which blows through our breath.

It is Allah’s Hu. As we recite Hu, we disappear from name and form and our spirit is merged

into the Soul of souls. Hu is the breath that Jesus blew.

In Vetus Testamentum (Oct. 1962) Dr. E. C. B. Maclaurin stated: “It should be repeated that there is no conclusive early evidence that the name was ever pronounced Yahweh but there

is plenty of early evidence for Hū’, Yah, Yo-, Yau-, -yah and perhaps -yo.” Dr. M. Reisel, in The Mysterious Name of Y.H.W.H., said that the

“vocalisation of the Tetragrammaton must originally have been YeHūàH or YaHūàH.” Still,

Canon D. D. Williams of Cambridge held that the “evidence indicates, nay almost proves, that Jahweh was not the true pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton, . . . The Name itself was

probably JĀHÔH.”—Zeitschrift für die alttestamentliche Wissenschaft, Vol. 54. "After the altar is cleansed and the witch is

properly translated as "empowered will," it is the force behind all things, put into action. One of Ra's three creative powers, it was utilized by devotees in ritualized prayer. Tameran Wiccans

unseen world, one must possess sia, or knowledge. It is more properly translated as, "omnicience," for it is the divine knowledge of

Ra. We as witches can access that knowledge through divination and meditation, and we should perform such exercises before any act

of magic in order to learn how to make the magic both effective and without negative

consequence.

To apply our knowledge, will, and power toward a specific goal, we must use the third

power, Hu. It is the principle of divine utterance, the power of word and speech. In

modern Wicca, it is the spell or ritual.

Any of these three powers alone are useless. They must be used in balance with one another, power, knowledge, and spellwork, in

order to perform magic. Without power and focus, the most beautifully written, most magical rituals fall flat. You might as well be

reading words off of a page in your favorite novel. Without knowledge, it can be misguided

and can have unexpected consequences. Without spellwork coupled with real-world action, wishes and desires remain just that,

wishes and desires, unfulfilled. In balance, however, these three powers can achieve great

things."

by Shems Friedlander

"When the Sheik arrives at his post, he bows, sits on the post, and kisses the floor. All the turners sit, and their cloaks are put on them by

those who did not turn in the fourth selam. They have returned to their tombs but in an altered state. The Sheik recites the Fathia, the

first sura of the Koran, and all the dervishes kiss the floor and rise. The Sheik then sounds a

prayer to Mevlana and Shams Tabriz and begins the sound "HU". The dervishes join in

sounding the "HU" which is all the names of God in one."

The HU

from The Music of Life by Hazrat Inayat Khan

The mystery of HU is revealed to the Sufi who journeys through the path of initiation. Truth,

(55)

the knowledge of God, is called by a Sufi "haqq". If we divide the word "haqq" into two parts, its assonant sounds become "hu ek", HU

signifying God or truth and EK in Hindustani meaning one. Both together express one God

and one truth. "Haqiqat" in Arabic means the essential truth, "hakim" means master, and

"hakim" means knower, all of which words express the essential characteristics of life. "Aluk" is the sacred word that the "vairagis", the adepts of India, use as their sacred chant.

In the word "aluk" are expressed two words: "al" meaning "the," and "haqq", "truth," both

words together expressing God the Source from which all comes.

The sound HU becomes limited in the word "ham", for the letter "m" closes the lips. In

Hindustani this word expresses limitation because ham means "I" or "we," both of which

words signify ego. The word "hamsa" is the sacred word of the yogis which illumines the ego with the light of reality. The word "huma"

in the Persian language stands for a fabulous bird. There is a belief that if the "huma" bird

sits for a moment on someone's head it is a sign that he will become a king. Its true meaning is that when a person's thoughts so

(56)

becomes as a king. It is the limitation of language that it can only describe the Most High as something like a king. It is said in the

old traditions that Zoroaster was born of a "huma" tree. This explains the words in the Bible, "Except a man be born of water and the spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God." In the word "huma", "hu" represents spirit, and

the word "mah" in Arabic means water. In English the word "human " explains two facts

which are characteristic of humanity: "hu" means God and "man" means mind, which word comes from the Sanskrit "mana", mind

being the ordinary person. The two words united represent the idea of the God-conscious

person; in other words HU, God, is in all things and beings, but it is man by whom He is known. "Human " therefore may be said to mean conscious, realized, or God-man. The word "hamd" means praise, "hamid", praiseworthy, and "Muhammad", praiseful. The name of the Prophet of Islam was significant of

his attitude to God.

"Hur" in Arabic means the beauties of heavens; its real meaning is the expression of heavenly beauty. "Zahur" in Arabic means manifestation, especially that of God in nature. "Ahura Mazda" is the name of God known to the Zoroastrians.

(57)

which the whole name is built.

All of these examples signify the origin of God in the word HU and the life of God in every

thing and being.

"Hayy" in Arabic means everlasting, and "Hayat" means life, both of which words signify

the everlasting nature of God. The word "huwal" suggests the idea of omnipresence, and "Huvva" is the origin of the name of Eve, which is symbolic of manifestation. As Adam is

symbolic of life, they are named in Sanskrit "Purusha" and "Prakriti".

Jehovah was originally "Yahuva", "ya" suggesting the word "oh" and "hu" but when sound first takes shape on the external plane,

it becomes "a". Therefore "alif" or "alpha" is considered to be the first expression of HU, the

original word. (pp. 27-29)

Akhu (Akh, Khu, Ikhu) - This was the immortal part, the radiant and shining being that lived on in the Sahu, the intellect, will and intentions

being after the deceased passed judgement after death, and the Ka and Ba united.
