it's just a word, just a name- but what I realized is that this "being" has different names in different beliefs and religions, many of which have the same sound....
"aaahhhh"
i.e. Allah, God, Krishna.....
It is to be a healing sound and that is why many use it when they meditate. I do it quite often and I find it so healing and relaxing.
Sounds are powerful on a spiritual level, words are powerful on a human level. No matter what, it is what we define it as, on an individual basis and that is all that matters. We all have our own ideas/visions/feelings/beliefs on what "God" is. What makes it limited is that for most, though, we tend to immediately assume that when we hear the word God, that it is a Higher Being outside of us in some form. But who's really to say that???
