The reason usually given for the efficacy of using "sound" as a tool was that sound, as an aspect of the space element, was naturally very subtle--esp. a *mental* "sound--which is even more subtle as to not be heard by most people. Because it is so subtle, it's easy to transcend with. Conversely, visual objects may for some people reinforce a natural sense of dualism, seer and seen, which is more difficult to merge with. ------------------------ Yahoo!
