 AbstractIn the ancient philosophical system known as Kashmir Shaivism, a word is morethan just a communication tool. In fact, Word is the very energy that produces the entiremanifested universe. Phonemes are more than just sounds that make up words. Theyare aspects or energies of the great creative force of all, the supreme Absolute. As thesupreme Creator manifests, Word manifests. As the Creator becomes conscious, thefirst sound /a/ arises, and creation unfolds. Word not only creates the universe, itcreates humans. Word is active on the cosmic level, as well as the personal or mundane level. Because it arises from within us, we can use it to trace back to our source of being. We can use particular sounds, with specific vibrational qualities or energies to help us do that. These special sound combinations are called mantras. Byrepeating these mantras, we call forth the more subtle levels of being or consciousnesswithin ourselves. This paper investigates this ancient philosophical system further andexamines its compelling aphorisms relating to Word.
