and permits a few minutes of this gorgeous wash of sound to inform every
fiber of their being, without doing other things. Reducing the world to just
one unnecessary distraction for once; at least for 7 minutes. PGC :-)

 

As you say. reducing the world of distraction; perhaps also expressed as
quieting the mind, so that it may hear.

 Beautiful piece of music as well; a soaring escape from the contemporary
for me, which is where I root musically.

 

Ahhh this mysterious vibration. this inner agitator of being, what is it
where is it? Hard to pin down eh?

What is the observer?

Why is it a given that we exist at all?

 

What if our certainty of self is but a splendid illusion. When we speak of
self; we infer identity, separateness, a dichotomy between - that which we
perceive as self - and the universe the self observes. A lot of the
spiritual traditions. and the psychedelic experience. and perhaps some
empirical evidence as well allude to an un-nameable, ineffable un-seeable
yet manifest something. The Vibe!

 

What if the universe is a symphony written large and the multiverse a
veritable panoply of musical styles and compositions. Hehe. please take all
this in the light hearted spirit in which it is given (some might say
spewed) I have tripped more and further than most.. music can sometimes on
occasion, especially when I sing bring me to a state of exceptional being
and presence and clarity of moment in moment. the idea of vibration
animating and being all does not seem all that weird or strange to me. and
the tie in to math is so elegant. harmony is math; music is about sets. The
physics of music gets right into the physics of waves and we all know that
goes deep.

 

You could say it is the essential metaphor I prefer. we all have our
metaphors and notional constructs that support our beings and our sense of
our own selves. This is one I can rock on, and being a rocker it's not
surprising that it rocks me.

 

Give it away; it's free!

Chris,

Yes, that's my concept of what I call the Uni-Verse! 

It's certainly a valid way of looking at reality. If everything is pure 
abstract information continually being computed that information can be 
taken as music in which case the entire Uni-Verse is playing music, or 
rather IS music playing. One huge symphony with myriads of local subthemes 
all in a harmony that certainly qualifies as divine if anything does. Truly 
the music of the spheres!

Edgar

At least the music metaphor has aesthetic appreciation, performance, and an 
audience. Information/computation has none of those things unless we 
arbitrarily add them.
