with AUM?
I.e., AM is the time to seek God, I AM GOD.
PM is the time to seek Earthly Pursuits which also lead to God?
Any differing explanations?

Am and PM have to do with something relating to a Meridian which is an imaginary line on the Earth invented by scientists.
I like military time best but it is extremely hard to find a decent 24 hour clock outside the communications world.
With a 24 hour clock you can work in darkness and still know what should be happening outside in the sun.
You cant be sure with some 12 hour clocks just glancing at them.

AM comes from Ante-Meridian meaning "before the middle of the day", and PM comes from Post-Meridian meaning "after the middle of the day".
BY the way, your question is a good example of why Americans need to be FAR LESS RELIGIOUS and FAR MORE SPIRITUAL; their brains are completely SCRAMBLED with all this religious hogwash and nonsense. It's NO WONDER the country is going to hell in a handbasket; all this RELIGION is greasing the way!

yes there's a connection between AM and Pm. we constantly knowledgeble of day and night. we already used of saying as we wake up in the morning we immediately ask the time and someone will definitely answer you its eight o clock AM. and after office hour we are also used saying its five o clock PM. simple as that.

NO but Hey Geoffrey my husband has a 24-hour watch (not digital) you might like. (I don't it drives me crazy! I'll glance at it and think WHAT? How can it be 4:30 already? But really it's 11:30 or whatever!)

A.M. = ante meridiem (In Latin=Before noon)
P.M. = post meridiem (In Latin=After noon)
I never heard of AUM though

Why is this question in LANGUAGES? Perhaps you don't spend enough time seeking COMMON SENSE?
