One of the most thought provoking essays I've read

Journal Entry: Wed Oct 20, 2010, 1:54 AM


This is one of the coolest essays I've ever come across.  When I first read it, it inspired me.  I guess I could say it made me sense a fresh kind of connectedness between myself and everything I perceive.  It started by pointing me in a general direction of thought I never really considered relevant, but as the paper developed, I began to feel appreciative towards the writer for compiling such a beautiful journey out of so much raw science and lore.  In the end I felt I had a new vantage point, another perspective to add to my collection, one more valid and valuable methodology with which I could more completely understand existence.  
It seems sometimes that music and all things auditory fascinate me as much or more than all else, and this essay made it very clear to me why I am this way.  I am attuned to my world through sound, through vibration, kinetics, energy being transferred throughout all things physical.  It's so simple, really...  we all seek harmony, when we are attuned to everything around us, we function so much better.  It's an undeniable parameter that defined reality even so far back as when the first forms of life began to experience existence, and it is just as pertinent and fundamentally vital now as I type these words and thus attune your thoughts to my consciousness.  This paper sparked in my mind what I can only describe as a scientifically spiritual revelation that I took to heart, and as I contemplate, I find myself wanting to read it again to strengthen my mental meditations.  What does that make me?   Some kind of musical hippy nerd? :XD:

I don't know, but this essay is a trip.  Maybe you'll like it too!  :)

good points. similarly, I don't like the idea of churches, political groups, corporations, law enforcement and criminal organizations mastering the methods of using finely tuned "harmonics" to influence people without their knowledge / without the people understanding what, exactly, is being done to them to influence their judgment. I mean this in the cases of, say, political rallies & worship services where it would be convenient for somebody to induce trance-like effects with the intent of manipulating the beliefs of the people who attend. The thought of a "magical formula" of tuned notes that will "enhance" the acceptance ratio of an individual or group's "message" amongst a group of gatherers is unsettling, and you'd better believe there are plenty of causes / cons that would use something like that without hesitation if they could.

yes! but i think the effect this entrainment has is rather a subconcious and weak effect. its like the orange walls in a mcdonnalds that supposed to make you eat faster. maybe its not worth using due to its weak effect or the fact that different people react to different frequencies? i feel like they left all the complicated stuff out in the essay...

but it reminds me of string theory [[link]], which says that everything consists of strings that only differ in lenght and vibration
