The different ragas of Indian classical music are attuned to different times of the day or different seasons to harmonize the listener with the rhythms of nature.
Shamanic drumming can create a trance-like state, marching bands are used to fire up an army or sports team, and a mother’s lullaby soothes a troubled child. Fingernails scraping a blackboard elicit a very different reaction than a violin (unless it’s being played by a 6-year-old). Different sounds affect people in different ways.
Sound has been used since the beginning of history to create certain moods in the listener. If disharmony arises or a break in the unfolding of the vibration occurs, there develops a loss of wholeness leading to discomfort and disease. Every organ, tissue, and cell has its vibration which, when in harmony, creates the most wonderful symphony imaginable, the human body. Universes within universes, each vibrating at their own frequency, interacted with every other frequency to produce the variety of life. It’s this original, primordial sound that diversified: “The One became many.”Each separate vibration evolved to reflect the whole in infinite disguises, giving rise to the world in which we live. In modern science, they talk about the Big Bang Theory, again sound. If you substitute “Word” with “Sound,” it becomes, “In the beginning was the Sound and the Sound was God … and the Sound became manifest.”
The Gospel, according to John says, “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God … and the Word was made flesh.” The first impulse to emerge from the silence of the absolute, or the field of Pure Potentiality, was the sound “OM” or more correctly “AUM,” according to the Vedas (ancient Hindu scriptures).Įven the Bible and modern science agree that the initial spark of creation came from sound or vibration.
