This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for November 29, 2007:

We are all human beings. We all need human care and affection to survive, thrive and stay humane!

I started wondering 6 months ago about the origin of the word "human" and the sound 'Hu' came to me. A month ago I walked into a booth at Inner light festival, same one I had seen a month before in a peace fair.  I instantly recognized the face of someone, whose book I read at one time 7-8 years ago in the public library.

I learned the word "HU" is the ancient word for God that connects one with Holyspirit from
a meeting of Eckankar! This sound is similar to Tibetan sacred sound 'HUM'
There is also the Vedic sacred chant of 'OM' that connects us with our divine essence.

Unlike 'OM' I found instant connection with 'HU'.

Intuitively I feel the word HU + OM = HUOM (feels like Home)! Just an amusing muse I have this morning ;)

OR it also sounds like the Tibetan Sacred sound HUM....wondering

This past two weeks I had some strange or auspicious coincidences (subject of another blog perhaps)

Last night I fell asleep with HU, and at one point woke up from a dream where i felt like communicating with Rebazar Tarzs (his image came) a Tibetan Eckmaster....as I was contemplating similarities in the ECk and Vajrayana...(both I don't know much about) and afte waking up opened up the CTR book in my bedside and exact page which describes HUM

According To Chogyam Trungpa, collected works volume 5...

HUM is  the seed sound in all four orders of Tantra (kriya, upa, yoga, and anuttara) and composed of HA (which expels impure air from lungs), U (of U M) releases irritating thoughts thru the mouth and M clears the remaining thoughts thru nose.

For advanced meditators HUM is a means of developing five wisdoms.

H is the mirrorlike wisdom: Clear and continuous
A is the wisdom of equanimity
U is the wisdom of discriminating awareness
M is all accomplishing wisdom, effortless accomplishment
A is the wisdom of all accomplishing space (dharmadhatu) ground from which all things originate and to which they return

This is very beautiful and I very much resonate with it. The breath of HA feels very good...always and MA is the sound of mater or mother in many languages, including my own Bengali. to be contd...

I was given the HU in 1974.
HU is so uplifting I still sing it every day.

I am hoping you will repost this very interesting blog in the Living Metaphysics pod you recently joined.  Please post in the very last board - Members Support - in the thread called Meditative Techniques.  It would be much appreciated by me.

I really like this - I think I've found my mantra.  Whether HU or HUOM.  I'll have to try it and see what works.  Thanks !
