Questions about "Om" ?

I thought this was a nice article on OM!

https://etheric.com/om-the-cosmic-vibration/

Cuz when we say 'Om' with our voice it is symbolic of something ...something else...an unpronounceable Sound that is everywhere.
Other names are Aum, the Tao, the primordial vibration, the Word that was with God and was God,
Sat Nam and so on;
for newbies maybe exploring Eastern thought, diff than Western thought.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

Here's the Vedanta take from the Mandukya Upanishad. A (waker) U (dreamer) M (deep sleeper) the Silence that follows - and also underlies and pervades - AUM (Turiya).

Swami Sarvapriyananda explains the four levels of consciousness, the Waking, Dreaming, and Deep Sleep that culminate into the Turiya or the Absolute, and is the silence that follows OM.

All I can share in this context is:

1) within the inky black, vibrant void, we maybe graced to hear the cosmic sound ‘Ohm’. It’s distinct from other sounds we hear of what maybe called ‘music of the spheres’

2) the mantras that automatically ‘come to us’ or to me at least, all have incorporated ‘Ohm’ within them. For example ~ Ohm Brahm, Ohm Namo Narayan, Ohm Shiv Shakti Namah or simply Ohm. These play on in the background (different from inner sound current)
