Since the dawn of time, human beings have used sound to receive information from their environment, to communicate with each other, and to heal and transform. Almost all ancient cultures and indigenous peoples believed, and still believe, that sound is the creative, generative force which brought the Universe into being. In the New Testament it is written: "In the Beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1) "The Word" quite clearly refers to sound, which is the God-force or creative force of the Universe. In the Hindu tradition the word AUM, which most of us know as Om, was the sound that initiated the Creation.
