What are the distinctive characteristics of Aum that represent the seventh plane?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Aum is the sound of the seventh plane, a doorway to the source beyond language, where meaning dissolves into the stillness of existence."
According to Osho, Aum was chosen to signify the seventh plane because it is beyond meaning: composed only of the three primal sounds a‑u‑m, which by themselves carry no concept. To prevent conceptual capture, it’s rendered as a pictorial symbol of three parts. Heard as an inner hum in thoughtless stillness, it functions as a doorway-question mark pointing to the source beyond language.
Aum is a meaning-free sound-picture made from basic sounds that helps stop thinking and guides you to the silent source of everything.
