Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Care To Explain Your User Name?

My user name comes from the title of a song by my favorite band, Tool.

Here's an explanation taken from The Tool Page:
In ancient Egyptian, it breaks down to Mer (rotating fields of light), Ka (spirit), and Ba (soul / body). Merkaba meditations facilitate deep spiritual growth and activation. Given the head space listeners tend to enter when listening to the song, and that live performances of this song feature Maynard (vocals) introspective onstage, it makes sense that the song is named for this style of meditation.

The word also translates to 'chariot' in Hebrew ("merkavah").
