The ancients knew. Now science has confirmed for the skeptics- sound created the universe.
Tuesday of this week it was announced that echoes, or left -over waves, had left a physical mark on the structure of space. If they ever find a way to make it into a sound, something like how they have recorded the sounds of the planets in our solar system, I am certain it will resemble a drawn out three part word: OM.
Outside of the "New age" magazines, books and videos, few people in the Western world know of the creation word OM. Hindu faith teaches that it is the sound made by the One, known to them as Brahma, as He breathed life into emptiness. This is one of six or seven universe cycles, supposedly the last as well- a series of deep exhalations and then inhalation that have been the expansion and then contraction of what we would call infinity. A bit much to ask many people to get their brains around, yes, but I find that more and more evidence is surfacing as science looks deeper into the history of space that backs up this belief. Our short, short time on this planet is made to look even moreso when these multiple rebirths are taken into the view.
The really fun part is when I throw into it the idea that we may have been here through them all, in very different forms, of course. We are, in our purest form, simply energy, and energy does not die- it merely changes shape. All the energy that was here in the very beginnings is still here-which means we were here then too.
There.
That should give some of you a headache!;)
