The sound that shapes us

This is not an article meant to explain, but to remind. It does not aim to offer ready-made truths or impose spiritual views. It is simply a gentle invitation—a possible gateway. Because everyone has their own timing for understanding, and what may come as a sudden revelation to some, for others is the fruit of years of searching, reading, silence, and inner transformation.

I offer these words with respect. For those who are searching, for those who have forgotten and long to remember. Because, deep down, we are all on a journey home.

In remote regions of the Earth, stones and statues have been found engraved with symbols of mysterious meaning. Some scholars of sacred symbolism have hypothesized similarities between certain archaic forms and the Hebrew letters Yod, He, Vav, He (יהוה), the sacred Tetragrammaton that in Kabbalah represents the Name of God. Although there is no definitive proof, the idea that ancient peoples might have intuited sacred forms resembling those letters remains a fascinating one.

These are not arbitrary claims: researchers in sacred symbolism have noted structural similarities between certain symbols carved on megaliths or ancient anthropomorphic figures and the letters of the proto-Canaanite Hebrew script—the oldest known form of the Hebrew alphabet. And what if these letters were not just graphic signs, but frequencies frozen into form?

Kabbalah teaches that every letter carries a precise vibration, an energy, a hidden sound. The Sacred Name Yod-He-Vav-He is not meant to be pronounced, but contemplated, because the sound of the letters themselves holds transformative power. It is a sound that shapes, a code that creates. Each letter is a transition from one energetic level to another: from spark to expansion, from the bridge between worlds to manifestation.

This concept is not far from what we find in Eastern traditions, where the primordial sound Om (or AUM) is considered the original vibration from which everything was born. Anyone who has chanted the Om mantra knows how deeply it works—not only on the mind but on the entire body. You feel it resonate in your chest, throat, and skull. It’s as if it brings something essential but long forgotten back into resonance.

Today, science confirms that mantras—especially when repeated consciously—induce a state of heart coherence, stimulate the vagus nerve, calm the sympathetic nervous system, and restore balance. But beyond the physiological effects, there is something deeper: they remind us that we are made of sound, of vibration, of frequency.

Like music, these sacred sounds do not speak to the mind but to the essence. And our essence is not inert matter, but intelligent energy, organized into temporary forms. We are not merely flesh and bone.

We are made of the same stuff as dreams.

And that’s not just poetic metaphor—it’s a spiritual indication. Dreams are not solid, yet they are real as vibration. So are we.

This is the great illusion we are one day called to break: believing we are the body, when in fact we are the soul that vibrates within it. The flesh dies, but the energy that we are has no beginning and no end. And all that we experience in life serves this purpose: to remember who we truly are.

We are here to choose. Every thought, every emotion, every word and sound we receive or generate is a vibration. And every vibration brings us closer to—or farther from—our origin, from that perfect vibration from which everything arose.

That’s why sacred sounds, divine names, mantras, and the music of the soul are not spiritual entertainment. They are tools to realign us, to swim upstream, to remember.

When we chant a mantra, utter a prayer, or surrender to a melody that moves us, we are not merely listening—we are going home. We are following a thread of light that leads us back to that original vibration from which we were born, even before time began.

In the Sacred Name יהוה, in the sound of Om, in the vibration of a pure note, there is a call. It is not religious, it is not dogmatic: it is archetype, it is primary vibration. And when we listen with an open heart, something within us realigns—not because we understand it with the mind, but because we recognize it.

This is our life: a journey through matter to vibrate again as the soul knows how.

If these words touched something within you, don’t stop here. Music, sound, and vibration are not abstract concepts, but doorways to authentic transformation. Deepening the connection between music and energy, between sound and consciousness, is one of the most powerful ways to return to yourself. Because music is not just to be heard—it is to be lived, embodied, and chosen.
