As well, the moment shares the space with that sound, because sound occupies space. I can almost touch it, but can never hold on to. Ravi Said thsat too.<br /> Sound is God.

Sound is God and Science and Philosophy combined, though sometimes it requires a bit of theatricality to communicate that to the congregants, whether it be operatic staging, Teenage Pianists, or Celebrity Conductors.Civic Centerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362422142667230626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-9455739807235982552014-09-15T06:37:20.663+01:002014-09-15T06:37:20.663+01:00If I may, Bob, just a personal reflection I'm ...If I may, Bob, just a personal reflection I'm moved to write after seeing the description of recent posts as "twaddle". If to that person these posts do seem twaddle, I can offer an easy explanation for that impression: Not everything is easy.<br /><br />I have had to struggle mightily with the very technical matters broached of late, for I am pretty well a technotwit. But struggle I did, certainly learnt something for my effort, and in the current post, the last paragraph thereof, I see my efforts well-rewarded and justified.<br /><br />I have of late been doing battle with the best works I can lay hands on in re Cosmology and Quantum Physics. I'm an Arts and Humanities man, so this was not easy either, but there are eminent practitioners in these fields who have the rare knack of writing for the general reader but without -- very important -- writing down. They encourage us, in fact, for more than one has written most frankly that often he and his colleagues arrive at the end of an equation and find themselves staring in disbelief. Very, very hard to get the noggin around, but I have persevered.<br /><br />Now, I did have one advantage in this. I have for many years had a great interest in Buddhism, in its texts, and in exegeses thereof. That too can test the little grey cells, but if one wants to learn, one perseveres with the difficult rather than being satisfied with the simple. The appearance of things tests us not. But the transcendental reality -- that does test us, and that is the stuff of Physics, of Buddhism, and of the relations among spirit, matter, vibrations, sound, energy, quantum entanglement. That is, the very things your last paragraph brings together, furnishing for those who prefer to struggle with the difficult than settle for the simple most ample reward. And for your part in this, Bob, much thanks.Philip Amoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11739418522974972567noreply@blogger.com
