ARKETYPOS
"The research is not historical –not how “Om” and “Amen” may both be based on near-eastern mantras; but that the open “uh” sound followed by a “hummed” closure might not be only an “objective correlative” of Indo-European and Semitic ritual, but also founded on brain structure and function. If so, this sequence of sounds will be found elsewhere on Earth arising not from diffusion or cultural convergente but from archetypes of the brain"
