Greetings,

It's fascinating to think of how many memories we may have of the afterlife (between incarnations) coming from the spiritual/celestial realm:
sailboats on a misty lake may remind us of the billowing forms of Helpers who bring loved ones back HOME across the wide river, some haunting rhythms and tones of wind and music may be like sounds there, etc.
You probably have your own memory triggers here on C1. Yahoo printed the following example:  

"Sun's Atmosphere Sings   By Jeanna Bryner, Staff Writer

Astronomers have recorded heavenly music bellowed out by the Sun’s atmosphere.

Snagging orchestra seats for this solar symphony would be fruitless, however, as the frequency of the sound waves is below the human hearing threshold. While humans can make out sounds between 20 and 20,000 hertz, the solar sound waves are on the order of milli-hertz—a thousandth of a hertz.

The study, presented this week at the Royal Astronomical Society's National Astronomy Meeting in Lancashire, England, reveals that the looping magnetic fields along the Sun’s outer regions, called the corona, carry magnetic sound waves in a similar manner to musical instruments such as guitars or pipe organs.

Making music

Robertus von Fay-Siebenburgen and Youra Taroyan, both of the Solar Physics and Space Plasma Research Center at the University of Sheffield, and their colleagues combined information gleaned from sun-orbiting satellites with theoretical models of solar processes, such as coronal mass ejections.

They found that explosive events at the Sun’s surface appear to trigger acoustic waves that bounce back and forth between both ends of the loops, a phenomenon known as a standing wave.

“These magnetic loops are analogous to a simple guitar string,” von Fay-Siebenburgen explained. “If you pluck a guitar string, you will hear the music.”

In the cosmic equivalent of a guitar pick, so-called microflares at the base of loops could be plucking the magnetic loops and setting the sound waves in motion, the researchers speculate. While solar flares are the largest explosions in the solar system, microflares are a million times smaller but much more frequent; both phenomena are now thought to funnel heat into the Sun’s outer atmosphere.

The acoustic waves can be extremely energetic, reaching heights of tens of miles, and can travel at rapid speeds of 45,000 to 90,000 miles per hour. “These [explosions] release energy equivalent to millions of hydrogen bombs,” von Fay-Siebenburgen said.

“These energies are plucking these magnetic strings or standing pipes, which set up standing waves—exactly the same waves you see on a guitar string,” von Fay-Siebenburgen told SPACE.com. The “sound booms” decay to silence in less than an hour, dissipating in the hot solar corona." [end quote]

I expect that in no time science will bring those sounds into the range of human hearing just as porpoise and whale songs have been made accessible to us.  :)

Hi,

in general, there is an easy method to make these things accessable for our ears, it is simply transponation (some purists only allow octavation). I've heard this has already been applied to some space occurings, like signals from pulsars and such things (and maybe to some infrasonic whale songs?). The basic physical laws underlaying can be the same, pulling a guitar string or having a cosmic occurance, standing waves/resonances, overtone frequency relationships and such. However, it is not guaranteed that it is a pleasure to listen to those transposed "music", because there are some sounds in nature we don't like very much (btw, the overtone scale is becoming pretty disharmonic the higher it wents), and as well, there are technical reasons such as distortions or a lack of resolution which can weaken the pleasure to listen to those things.

Spooky

thanks Bets and spooky. that was fascinating about sound waves. I think there are rotes in sound waves which can reach the mentality into the subconscious area.
I tuned into another life from the sound of a note which led to a rote. (that rhymes, lol)

about the dissonance, it appears the human ear was designed to shield us from too much sound input, like a thousand voices all speaking at once might be too much to hear except for brief period for translation purposes.
anyway, thanks for the thread.

Thanks for sharing that, it is very interesting.

PUL,
