Sat Nam Leo,

I 've been waiting for something to purcolate within me around your

earlier post...all the pieces haven't come together yet, but I'll

try to finish the thought I began on Friday.

 

I'm reading a book called "the Mozart Effect" and it's all about the

healing capacity of music. When you mentioned "the creative power

of speech"...it triggered something I had read in the book.

 

Rhythm and rhyme are ruled by a different part of the brain than our

speech centers....so someone who can't speak language still may be

able to speak in rhyme or rhythm. Gurmukhi, the language that Japji

is written in is very rhythmic and lyrical...hearing japji recited

out loud, you can notice it right away. So my thought was that it

would stimulate a different part of the brain than speech would, as

I would imagine ASL would also?

 

The other thing about Japji is that it is in the language of Shabd

(the sound current)...which is the language of consciousness....when

we hear it and speak it, our consciousness is directly

stimulated...giving us an experience of consciousness (awareness).

So I was thinking that ASL would also produce an "experience" within

the reciever as well..as I would imagine, it probably relays, more

on concepts or understandings, rather than word by word

descriptions? Although the language may be more subtle than regular

speech, I would imagine the reciever might have a "fuller"

experience of what is being said, as I would imagine there must be

some level of "meeting of mindsmeeting of consciousnesses"going

on?

 

Like for instance, I tend to use a lot of "one liners" in

quotations, because with just a few words, I can relay a whole

picture or understanding of something, that it may take me a

paragragh to describe otherwise. And we might be able to have an

understanding of what I am describing much sooner than later.

 

Coming back to the book, "the Mozart effect" and the creative power

of speech...I was reading this one part where they were talking

about different sounds sung and the physiological/pschological

effect these sounds had on the body (mantra was one of there topics)

or the person....for instance the sound eeeee sung high, relieves

emotional pain. So I got to thinking about Shabd and song and how a

person can "relay" an understanding or an expansion in consciousness

through song, by the sounds they choose.

 

Everytime I chant KY mantras (which are in the Shabd) or listen to

Kirtan I have this experience of expanded consciousness...so I

understand that one persons consciousness can be transmitted to

another persons through this process...so to me that opens an awful

lot of possibilities interms of how we could affect one another's

consciousness through creative expression, whether it be writing or

what ever form that takes....obviously I see that working in our

culture already...but I mean in a more positve direction than how we

currently see it evolving...

 

Imagine a world where all of our artists, were fluent, in the

language of consciousness (the Shabd) and all of their creative

endeavors only served to expand our consciouness and lift us up.

That would be quite a different world...don't cha think?

 

Anyways..those were the thoughts that I was having on that subject!

 

All Light,

Sat Sangeet
