Sound"The
knower of the mystery of sound knows the mystery of the whole universe" -
Hazrat Inayat Khan Throughout history people have intentionally experienced, examined and enjoyed sound. Likewise, all nations and societies have systematic ways of interacting with and learning about sound. Music is one vehicle by which sound reveals mysteries. Furthermore, musical variety is so great that it provides a virtually endless number of ways for us to experience and study sound. equally incredible, as great as music is, it is not the only way that people seek to experience & study sound - cosmology, marine biology, oceanography, bird watching, auto mechanics & linguistics are a few other ways. Based
on this knowledge we know that sound does teach us about our surroundings - even
the very universe from which we come. Still
the mystery of sound does not end there. Many paradigms associate
sound with the literal beginning of the universe. For instance, Buddhism
teaches that the "Om" sound occurred at the beginning of the
universe. And Judaism, Christianity & Islam teach that The Creator
spoke the universe into existence. Thus, it can be said that sound sheds
light on the origin of everything. And as Hazrat Inayat Khan said,
"The
knower of the mystery of sound knows the mystery of the whole universe." "It is the Glory of the Creator to conceal a matter. It is the honor of kings to search out a matter ." - Prov 25:2
