Sacred Terminology: A Guide to Our Language of Transformation
Language is a powerful tool—it shapes our thoughts, perceptions, and experiences. At OM Spiritual Center , we use specific words and phrases that carry deep spiritual, ontological, and metaphysical significance. Some of these terms may be unfamiliar, while others may hold unique meanings within our teachings.
This page serves as a living dictionary —a guide to the words, phrases, and concepts that form the foundation of our work. Understanding these definitions will help you deepen your journey, enhance your comprehension, and fully integrate the wisdom shared here.
As you explore these terms, consider them not just as definitions, but as doorways to greater insight and transformation. May this guide support you in your path to self-mastery, spiritual awakening, and the embodiment of your highest potential.

You read a book, listen to a podcast or webinar, and you are motivated. But motivation is most often like a sparkler, it fizzles out over time and old habits return. To remain motivated, you need constant input from your outer world.
Multiverse: We don't live in a universe. Uni - one - verse. We live in a multiverse. Multiple dimensions of consciousness expressing. The universe visible to our eye is but one universe, we exist in many simultaneously. The Center's teachings are always grounded in our human experience being inside a multiverse.
