Merle, Sometimes, outside under the silent stars in really quiet places -- say, on isolated observatory mountain-tops, or just out here in the desert -- I hear the high frequency whine or hiss, white noise, in the ears. I think in earlier days, even in Classical times, people noted this and referred to it as "The Music of the Spheres." It was thought to pertain to the Crystal Spheres, as they slid over one another while the stars moved from East to West. We've since ceased thinking in terms of Crystalline Spheres, but what a "nice" idea, eh? Yet, the expression THE MUSIC OF THE SPHERES has been kept alive because it's so evocative, I suppose. I really believe the phrase refers to this Yogic sound, one of the Nadis. It does indeed make a fine object of meditation or concentration, as Mike points out. Many report that the sounds changes as you concentrate on it/them. As a teenager I used to think that this sound was the Brownian Movement of the air, room temperature thermal movement, at 300 Kelvin. And I thought that only youngsters could hear it, because high-frequency hearing is very acute when we're younger, and because no adults that I knew ever mentioned it. But I spent a lot of time outside under the silent stars... so I heard it a lot. The adults in my life did not have this luxury. I thank my lucky stars for my upbringing. Nadis; Brownian Movement; or internal-illusion: but wonderful sounds! --Joe > Merle Lester <merlewiitpom@...> wrote: > > mike..i know about the "hissing" in the ears...thanks for this advice...it's > strange how one can focus on this, let it go and focus again... do you > honestly believe it adds to insight wisdom into reality?..interesting never > thought of the hiss with that potential... what i love above is "listening" > to silence...merle
