Once You Understand OM (3's), You Understand Everything about Reality YouTube Presentation by Adhvaitha (Non-Dual Spirituality)
AUM correlations involves the use of describing and explaining the "OM" chant as a type of cipher, or (not-so-secret anymore) code that is related to other devices of coding and decoding; all of which are techniques/strategies of thinking explored and practiced at different periods of history, and likewise show up in Nature's experimentations of developmental biology, as well in all subjects where interested persons try to unravel some suppose code, pattern, "word of God", "voice of the Universe", Hidden mysteries, etc...
"But when considered as a triliteral word consisting of a, u, m, (~~~), Om implies, the three Vedas, the three states of human nature; the three divisions of the Universe; the three deities, agents of the three states of things—the creation, preservation and destruction; or properly speaking; the three principle attributes of the Supreme Being. In this sense it implies in fact the Universe controlled by the Supreme Being." (Ram Mohun Roy.): Triads or Triples or Tripartite om in Trinitarian systems
Let us initially note (In terms of the 3 letters (2 vowels and 1 consonant)):
- AUM, A-UM, AU-M, (OM)
- MUA, M-UA, MU-A
- OM/ MO
- MOM/ MA (Mother)
Translations of "Mother" in Different Languages:
- Spanish: madre
- French: mère
- German: Mutter
- Italian: madre
- Portuguese: mãe
- Russian: (mat')
- Chinese (Mandarin): (muqin) or (mama) for a more affectionate term
- Japanese: (okaasan) or (haha) for a formal term
- Arabic: (umm)
- Hindi: (ma~)
- Korean: (eomeoni) or (eomma) for a more casual term
- Turkish: anne
- Swahili: mama
- Greek: (mitéra)
- Hebrew: (ima)
In many cultures, the word for "mother" carries deep emotional significance, often associated with love, care, and nurturing. Variations of the term can reflect different levels of formality or affection.
- For example, in Spanish, "madre" is formal, while "mamá" is more affectionate.
- In Chinese, while (muqin) is the formal term, (mama) is commonly used by children.
- MuMu What Mumu Means in Different Parts of the World.
- Initially spoken as "AMUN" then later by infusing the Sun God RA; Amun-Ra (alternatively spelled Amon-Ra or Amun-Re):
- AMEN: Amen[a] is an Abrahamic declaration of affirmation which is first found in the Hebrew Bible, and subsequently found in the New Testament. It is used in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic practices as a concluding word, or as a response to a prayer. Common English translations of the word amen include "verily", "truly", "it is true", and "let it be so".[5][6] It is also used colloquially to express strong agreement.
- Mu): Mu is a lost continent introduced by Augustus Le Plongeon (1825–1908), who identified the "Land of Mu" (Mother Continent/ "Mother Land" of Humanity) with Atlantis. The name was subsequently identified with the hypothetical land of Le-mu-ria by James Churchward (1851–1936), who asserted that it was located in the Pacific Ocean before its destruction. The place of Mu in both pseudoscience and fantasy fiction is discussed in detail in Lost Continents (1954, 1970) by L. Sprague de Camp. Geologists state that the existence of Mu and the lost continent of Atlantis has no factual basis, and is physically impossible, as a continent can neither sink nor be destroyed in the short period of time asserted in the legends, folklore and literature about these places.
H.O.B note: Unfortunately, those examining the idea of MU use a geological perspective of association, just as they do for multiple types of life-associated time lines, and do not approach the idea from a Cognitive/ Psychological or Auditorial/ Linguistic position. Even if the concept of MU is a fantasy, it nonetheless is real in terms of a cognitive orientation developed by the human mind which can be correlated with other fanciful notions such as the Hindu AUM, Western religion's AMEN, and the ancient Egyptian AMON-Ra regardless if one idea has millions of believers and another idea only has a few.
Like Religion claiming a dominant property ownership to the concept of god, evil, and very many ideological considerations, Geology is acted upon like a religion by many who want to assert it has the dominant property rights to a fixed reality of traditionalized proofs. This is just as stupidly arrogant as Mathematics being claimed as the Queen of all sciences and that any rational sentient being in the Universe would use a Human-based mathematics as a starting point of inter-species communication, though the Persistent Use of Dichotomies in Mathematics is an obstacle to understanding a mathematics that would be based on Trichotomization or some other formula of cognitive activity; and presents us with the problematic issue that for those children whose brain is venturing into trichotomization, they are being forced to Kow Tow to a society that is mostly oblivious to such a consideration of developmental growth, and instead labels such students as being "off topic", or out-of-touch with reality, or in need of some chemical restraint in order to supress hyper-acting-out activity, or in need of multiple time outs (social ostracism... like forcing the biblical character Lazarus to live in a cave at the fringes of society, whereby Jesus performed a metaphorical miracle and brought him "back to life" to live among the socially dependent others), or subject a person to some measure of accepted (and expected) religious brainwashing, etc., in order to force them into the prevailing so-called "Normalcy" of a given time and place.
Here are some further examples of the very large landscape of humanity's varied cognitive activity which must be taken into any effort of adopting a cross-cultural and cross-time period accountability of ideas being shared, stolen, borrowed, independently recreated, and of course creative and original illustrations:
- Using juxtapositioning such as Palindroming... sometimes referred to as inversion, mirror-imaging, backwards writing).
- Speaking in Tongues
- Mathematics is a language of codes (Based on a binary system relying on a reference model of required axioms and proofs)
- Psychiatry/Psychology is a coded expression of interpretations/impressions relying on a binary system regulated by a manual of codes presently called the DSM-5 Diagnostic Codes
- Binary language of computers
- Astrology, Palmistry, etc., is a portrayal of interpreted codes
- Art is a coded expression of interpretations/impressions
- Dance is a coded expression of interpretations/impressions
- Music is a coded expression of interpretations/impressions
- Internalized thinking is a coded expression of interpretations/impressions
- One's whole behavioral repertoire (clothes, mannerisms, gestures, speech, silence, etc.) is a coded expression of interpretations/impressions which are often routinized.
- Runic Characters: The distinction made by Unicode between character and glyph variant is somewhat problematic in the case of the runes; the reason is the high degree of variation of letter shapes in historical inscriptions, with many "characters" appearing in highly variant shapes, and many specific shapes taking the role of a number of different characters over the period of runic use (roughly the 3rd to 14th centuries AD). The division between (1) Elder Futhark, (2) Younger Futhark and (3) Anglo-Saxon runes are well-established and useful categories, but they are connected by a continuum of gradual development, inscriptions using a mixture of older and newer forms of runes, etc. For this reason, the runic Unicode block is of very limited usefulness in representing of historical inscriptions and is better suited for contemporary runic writing than for palaeographic purposes.
- Caesar cipher: Shifts each letter by a fixed number of places in the alphabet.
- Morse code: A classic example that uses a series of dots and dashes to represent letters and numbers.
- Mirror Writing (also ambidextrous writing)
- Types of Ciphers
- Morse code, Braille, Pig latin, etc...
- Cryptophasia Cryptophasia is the phenomenon of a language developed by twins (identical or fraternal) that only the two children can understand. The word has its roots from the Greek crypto-, meaning secret, and -phasia, meaning speech. Most linguists associate cryptophasia with idioglossia, which is any language used by only one, or very few, people. Cryptophasia differs from idioglossia on including mirrored actions like twin-walk and identical mannerisms.
- ETC...
With respect to the idea that the three items noted as AUM, AMON-Ra, AMEN are related, the typical venture is to apply a linguistics tool, and use it as a type of defining standard in much the same manner as geology is used for evolutionary development. The problem is that it breeds a tradition of thinking that is likewise standardized like some embedded cultural holiday whereby everyone thinks and acts in the same way when confronted by a problem, thereby making it more difficult for alternative ideas to be offered or be seriously considered. An apple shaped as an apple is still an apple; and we would not confuse the stark similarity of differently named and used for apples with oranges, tomatoes, peaches or other round items. Apples need not taste the same to be an apple, and that which correlates them all (round fruits of the rose family tree), speaks of an origin though the word "origin" might well be disputed over time and place. All human ideas have the same origin called the human brain.

"Threes" discussions about Literary-focused contexts typically exclude examples from various Science-defined subjects; and therefore sets the stage and scripted dialogue which instigates a stark absence for any initial and further consideration of this very important Anthropological, Linguistic, Psychological, and Sociological Phenomena; thus resulting in a misunderstanding (and the creation of false assumptions) about the recurrence of threes as an expressed cognitive pattern (among others) that continues to be repeated in Multiple contexts... as well as why it is repeatedly absent from other contexts. Its absence is as much a telling point about human cognitive development and application as is the recurring presence of "threes" in its multiple forms and the symbology being employed. It's importance becomes magnified into a greater clarity when we:
- Contrast it with the histories of Monism, Duality, and Plurality.
- Identify and consciously acknowledge the presence of a 1-2-3 maturational development sequence.
- Become aware of the repeated mis-labeling of the 3-to-1 ratio as a "four" (quaternary, quaternion, etc...) pattern.

When "threes" examples are listed, the recurring pattern of most collectors is to list those from a give subject such as the triads of ancient Egyptian religion, mythology, Fairy tales, or some other specific and specialized genre of interest such as writing speeches, children's stories, science fiction, advertisements, etc... Hence, it is rather easy to compile the list under a singular heading. However, if you are a collector surveying multiple subjects, your first inclination may be to label the examples under the specific type of subject such as Anatomy, Physiology, Physics, Biology, Cartoon figures, Psychology, etc... However, these categories are reminiscent of the efforts used by Librarians in the adoption of one or another classification system comprising Inter-national, National, and regional focuses. However, one might reference three standards:
- Dewey Decimal System:
- Developed by Melvil Dewey in the 1870s, this system is widely used in public libraries and K-12 school libraries. It organizes books into ten main categories, each represented by a three-digit number, allowing for further subdivision into more specific topics. This system is currently used in approximately 200,000 libraries across at least 135 countries.
- Library of Congress Classification (LC):
- Most academic libraries in the United States utilize the LC system, which is more complex and better suited for the extensive collections found in universities and research institutions. The LC system uses a combination of letters and numbers to categorize materials, making it more flexible for larger collections.
- Current Trends:
- While the Dewey Decimal System remains prevalent, there is a growing movement among some libraries to adopt alternative classification methods. For example, some libraries have started using systems that categorize books (or DVDs, etc...) by subject rather than by number, aiming to create a more engaging and user-friendly experience for patrons. Libraries like the Rangeview Library District have implemented their own systems inspired by bookstore layouts, which prioritize subject-based organization over numerical classification.
With respect to categorizing multiple examples of "threes" from multiple subjects, we are dealing with a specificity of human cognitive activity that has been largely taken for granted and viewed dismissively by those whose underlying world-view orientation is based primarily on dualities such as with Mathematics and Psychology, and noted as a persistence of dichotomization, which is appreciably tragic if human consciousness has the potential of developing into what might be described as a "third consciousness", in concert with the underlying initiatives of a similar developmental trend having occurred on basic levels of biology such as the now standard triplet code of DNA thought to have arisen from a singular than double formula, and the complexity of development having occurred with the 3 Germ layers, which also arrived by a developmental 1-2-3 process. Indeed, if you have a child that is experiencing an unrecognized developmental shift into some measure of a 3rd consciousness but there is not academic sensibility or sensitivity to such a possibility, then the typical response is to medicate the child, to place them in some "special" classroom or course so that they can be "normalized" into a society dominated by professionals whose training and day-to-day world-view is oriented to the old standard of dichotomization... whereby they must seek out for themselves an activity, a group... legal or otherwise, that best provides for some measure of acceptance to their "non-normalness".
Why shouldn't there be an increased rebelliousness not only among the very young, but older populations as well? Why shouldn't there be a growing trend away from religion with its antiquated patterns of viewing the world in dualities, and whose only "thinking outside the box" efforts are to utilize existing dualities to formulate some makeshift trichotomy which is little more than an embellishment of the old system of dualities! The current Western religions and Eastern philosophies and prevailing institutions of government, business, and multiple academic genres are inadequate for addressing issues for a context of developmental consciousness they are wholly unprepared for. Instead, let us continue to allow such institutions to perpetuate a cycle of nonsensical policies, practices, and laws which create conditions which leave the people no choice but become non-compliant and thus forcing the established systems of dichotomy to retaliate with force to incarcerate, maim, or kill to its satisfaction. The underlying cause of so much conflict is due to the development of a third consciousness confronting a system of practiced and enforced duality. Yes, see them in their two-pattern rhetoric: DO or DIE, My way or the Highway, Black/White, Heaven/Hell, slow/fast, All or Nothing, Nature/Nurture, yin/yang, binary computer language, etc...
Where and how the "3" is used representing the X-tra ordinary or some metaphysic when applied to notions of spirituality: (Suggesting humanity has the potential to increase its third consciousness development already taking place.)
- The wide spread view that it's a magical number. (i.e. "super"-stition)... No other number has this widespread
distinction in so many contexts.
- Death occurs in threes (There exists no evidence other than for the recurrence of the perception thereof.)
- 3 on a match (WWI idea related to the time needed for sniper to get a bead on a target.)
- 3rd time's the charm (Recurring evidence for the expression, not necessarily the deed... Somehow it is thought that 2 wrongs or bad events somehow meld into a favorable one.)
- 3 AM is the time when Victorian Era bakers were required on the job. This moment in time is singled out though the work-day may have begun at 11 PM the previous day and lasted beyond the 3 AM historically noted time of reference.
- 3 or fewer alcoholic drinks per day is consider the average or normal quantity while 3 or more drinks is the standard recited quantity for issuing medical cautions and warnings.
- Less then three (typically 2) pills are the standard quantity marked on over-the-counter prescription medications.
- 3-drug standard U.S. used lethal injection protocol is involves 1) an anesthetic to render the inmate unconscious, 2) a drug to paralyze the inmate, and 3) a drug to stop the heart.
- 3-colored stoplight is the standard in most parts of the World as of this Nov. 7th, 2025 Date.
- Between you, me and the fencepost. (Embellished duality advancing a state of secrecy to be kept; used as a triad expressed by older generations.)
- Luck comes in threes is a common expression. No other number is used with as great a frequency in Western Cultures.
- Death occurs in threes is a common expression in western cultures, though it also is widely disputed.
- Rule of three: (Dominant acceptance of an effect to be applied in multiple contexts. No other number is used as often or as broadly.)
- Adoption by Western Religions, Eastern philosophies, Metaphysics, Sports, Entertainment, Science, etc... as having a special power or reference.
- Symbolizes Harmony of two opposing positions. (This is an act of creating an embellished duality, and not a true trichotomy.)
- As a geometric form, it is said to conduct or focus some measure of energy such as sitting under a triangle or using multiple over-lapping triangles to express power such as in the creation of a star (law enforcement badge), or interconnect linear models such as a pentagram (witchcraft) or pentagon (U.S. military complex) or triadic ensembles of people to produce something good or something bad.
- Superposition, in physics represents more than two states simultaneously.
- The position beyond "2" is sometimes referenced with different words or symbols: many, more, much, few, some, ...
- 3-point shot in basketball. (There are no 4 or more point shots.)
- 3 strikes and you're out in baseball. There are no four-strikes, but foul balls do occur.
- 3-person limit used by the Nobel prize committee for awards.
- 3 standard Olympic medals.
- Three-peat distinction in sports.
- Triple threat distinction typical in performing arts.
- Tripartite Aspects of Masonic Beliefs:
- Brotherly Love: Fosters harmony and unity
- Relief: Emphasizes charity and philanthropy
- Truth: Inspires an unceasing quest for wisdom, self-reflection, and integrity in thought and deed.
- Three tenets of Obligation:
- Morality: Through the pursuit of truth, Masons continually refine their ethical compass and strive to live upright lives.
- Charity: Guided by relief, they devote time and resources to philanthropic projects, embodying the Craft’s commitment to helping the vulnerable.
- Obedience and Harmony: Brotherly love extends to respecting laws, customs, and the dignity of all, promoting social cohesion and civic responsibility
- Three tenets of Obligation:
- Freemasonry’s Journey by way of three degrees: Entered Apprentice, Fellow-craft, and Master Mason.
- 3 symbolic pillars of every Masonic lodge: Wisdom, Strength, Beauty.
- 3 Masonic symbols (square, compass, and letter G) conveying deeper philosophical truths.
- 3-axis, 3-allies distinctions perpetrated by journalism in WWII.
- 3rd Reich of Hitler
- Trinity in Christianity, Trimurti in Hinduism, multiple threes in Eastern philosophy.
- Super-positions of 3 demarcated by a comma in value notation. (ones-tens-hundreds, thousands- ten thousands- Hundred thousands,...)
- Colloquial references of time: seconds- minutes- hours; days- weeks- months; ...
- Human female pregnancy: 3 trimesters
- 3-part human anatomy (not including the several triads): List of 3s in Anatomy
- Groups of Gods and Goddesses. (Religion, Mythology)
- Groups of Angels and Multiplicities... 3-6-9-12...
- 3-fold rule in witchcraft (Today's Wicca involving 3 forms of Hectate: Maiden- Mother- Crone).
- Groups of demons and monsters.(666, 3-headed dog Cerberus, 3 furies...)
- Groups of demon/monster children born from Gaia (mother earth is a monster breeder).
- Superior development (i.e. 3 germ layers, trilaminar cell (called bi-lipid)...)
- Superior construction (i.e. DNA triplet code, 3 particle families...)
- Organizational strategy (i.e. Military)
- Taiwan Unveils Three-Tier Drone Strategy to Boost Defense Readiness by Christine Casimiro
- China’s 'Three Warfares' in Perspective (concepts of public opinion warfare, psychological warfare, and legal warfare) by Peter Mattis
- The U.S. Marines use the "rule of three" to organize their operations and strategies. This principle means that each Marine has three primary tasks or goals to focus on, which helps them stay organized and avoid confusion. This organizational structure is applied across various levels of the Marine Corps, from corporals to generals, ensuring that Marines can effectively manage their responsibilities and respond to situations efficiently.
- 3 Barley corns: Under the 1300 (AD) Composition of Yards and Perches, one of the statutes of uncertain date that was notionally in force until the 1824 Weights and Measures Act, "3 barly cornes dry and rounde" were to serve as the basis for the inch and thence the larger units of feet, yards, perches and thus of the acre, an important unit of area. The notion of three barley-corns composing an inch certainly predates this statute, however, appearing in the 10th-century Welsh Laws of Hywel Dda.
- Superposition on bipartite structures:
- Yin/Yang... I Ching triads (are actually embellished Dyads/Byads)... Yin-Unity-Yang is an internalized duality.
- Dualities of Psychology rendering tripartite ideas (e.g. Id-Ego-Superego idea, Triune brain theory, triune love theory...)
- Dualities of Mathematics rendering tripartite ideas (e.g. trigonometry, Boolean algebra, Pythagorean theorem)
- Binary computer language... ternary/trinary quantum computing being attempted.
- Bipedal gait... auditory tripartite structure for equilibrium (e.g. 3 semi-circular canals)
No one is discussing the exhibited efforts to move from dichotomies to trichotomies as a reflection of an underlying biologically crafted impulse of developmental cognition. Chemistry from which biology arose, had to adapt to the primary patterns of the early Earth environment, one of which was not only the 2-patterned night/day photo-affecting sequence, but also the 3-patterned dawn- noon- dusk sequence in relation to an accelerated rotating 3rd planet Earth where photo-periodic moments played a crucial role from which photo-receptive life arose. Early life acted like an impressionable artist, not an analytical chemist.
