On sound, and the nature of reality

[Surya]

it is not what goes in (the mouth), but what comes out that defiles you.

Matthew 15:11.

 

(I think what comes in is important to, but that’s beside the point)

 

So, sometimes I wished I had a dictionary when talking to wise men. I said those words to a teacher of mine. Later that day, I opened up google. I don’t even recall what I searched for, but at the top, there was a file full of different mystics (Meister Eckhart being the only I recall from the top for my head) with quotes along the lines of «everything is sound».

 

Personally, I engange in kirtan, the Hare Krishna mantra and the like, but I am sure there is no lack of powerful frequencies out there. One devotee told me how it was very clear that, when he started chanting the holy name, he got faced with a mirror of himself: that is, the external world sort of became a reflection or him.

 

«Very interesting you mentioned that,» I said, «because I to felt very clearly that I was faced with aspects of myself that was not very beautiful». He smiled. The heart has to be cleansed first, and I guess it is a tiny bit softer now, as the world appears far more beautiful.

 

Every individual is just a reflection of you

Now a days they are teaching me the correct pronunciation of Sanskrit. What a wonderful tongue. 
 

One thing that has kind of confused me growing up, is how we are able to communicate trough these computers and phones and radios of ours. I’ve always known that it is some kind of waves. Sounds kinda like magic to me.
 

At times I’ve just pushed the whole issue to the side tho, as I would assume that the people working on these devices knows what’s going on. My family of origin as well as the extended one, is full of very intelligent and technical minded people with relevant education. So I asked them. 
 

«Waves» they said.

«Frequencies?»

«Yes»

 

So yeah, seems like it kinda runs on vibes. Sort of how the shepherded in Coelhos alchemist talks about being in tune with the sheep. Or Robert Sheldrakes concept of morphic ressonance. According to qauntum physics, it is all just waves, until an observer appear, is it not? That’s kinda what eyes do as well, no, reflect light?
 

So, to end this little brain fart, I would, in addition to hearing your thoughts on the matter, offer a piece of advice:

1. be mindful of what music you listen to

 

I am not Muslim. Or maybe I am, as I accept that God (and all) is one. And their prayer calls are kind of beautiful. Also sheds some light on why certain kind of music is banned in some schools of Islamic thoughts.

The sound of music is a wonderful thing. It reaches the heart of people and sometimes even makes them dance with joy. What is the connection between sound and the nature of reality? Time. Everything is based in time. The beat of the music. The nature of reality is based in time. Time gives us the feeling of being real. Time gives lovers the feeling of something real. Time heals all wounds. 

 

Chanting is a wonderful way to take the focus of the mind and transform it conditions. A way to let it play in emptiness and fill every space. To bring the single moment to every moment. Sometimes a song catches fire and the mind holds onto it. Persistent in its beat and the words goes to the heart.

 

I know not what the discussion is about. Does one argue about how wonderful the world is with sound? Or does one argue that sound is reality? There were no questions. No idea presented that needs to be discuss. So, does this end here? Maybe I just missed the intent?

How does that work with parallel timelines?

I do not know for sure. However, it should be no different than having events happen in different places at the same time.  This .. the different places makes them separate in relative truth. And happening at the same time makes them parallel. It could be different as in parallel universes. I don't think it matters. But, it happens at the same time. Of course, the motion of time is relative to the position one occupies in space. If one is in the vastness of space travel between galaxies then how does one know what speed a one travels at? Since speed is in relative to some other position. So, how does time know how to flow? And space is only vast because of the time it takes to travel from point A to point B. But, if one's time moves slow then distance is shortened. 

 

If you read thru that then you are a better person than I. Cause my head goes thru trash and useless ideas very quickly. However to read, it is tedious.  That is why TL:DR exist. Too Long: Didn't Read. Always thought as a child that I should have become a writer of novels because of all the twisted ideas i had. Just could never put the words together. Still reading??
