What The Hell Is Sound?

[DnoReally]

There was something about the episode from 2 weeks ago that struck me, and I actually started looking up stuff  I took for granted.
The very first thing that came to my mind was sound or rather how we perceive sound. It's very trivial, but seriously, where does sound even take place?

It's some kind of spacial illusion, that suggestes that there is a "place" in the head where hearing takes place. But then I realized that all human experience has this illusory nature of  "taking place" somewhere. Dno if that fits in here, but it's an experience very easy to reproduce and I would recommend everyone just listening to a piece of music and inquire where the hell this sound is coming from.

(For me it was this particular video :^) )

It's coming from the same place like everything else you know and don't know

This is the root - all experiences (sights, sounds, feelings, thoughts etc) appear in the same space of knowing. 

Notice they do not appear in different places. It is the same dimensionless point of awareness which contains all.

Btw, this was one amazing performance

isn't sound vibration created by other things? if it's an illusion why do we have ears?

@BjarkeT ears are illusory. 

[Nahm]

@DnoReally it’s absolutely beautiful, and it’s come from you. 

[BjarkeT]

@Nahm how? It doesn't make any sense 

why would the body have ears to be able to "detect" sounds if both just are an illusion why would they have evolved over time if its not real? Sorry but it doesn't make any sense from what I understand of evolution 

what are the knowledge(or proof) we have that ears and sound are an illusion?

A very good question. You should contemplate that deeply.

Might even lead to an enlightenment experience or two

[Nahm]

@BjarkeT time is illusory also. So is evolution of course. Hat’s off to you sir, the whole thing is very well done. Top notch. 

[BjarkeT]

@Nahm the whole thing?

[Dodo]

Sound is vibration, we are vibration, we are sound. 

But there is also God - The space of awareness for all these different vibrations to arise and be known.

 

[Nahm]

@BjarkeT the whole thing. 

[BjarkeT]

@Nahm is it an insult? I really don't get it

[Nahm]

@BjarkeT no! Of course not!  The whole illusion. The universe, etc. Well done. 

[BjarkeT]

@Nahm i am sorry but i still don't get what i did well(except if it was the points i had maybe?) glad it wasn't an insult?

Yeah, I was thinking something very similarly. Also, when looking at the brain as some kind of computer I think that all kind of information, and by that I mean encoded sensory experience, is of the same kind or format and just interpreted differently. (I have no evidence for that at all)

@DnoReally Here is one more contemplation for you to do. Look at the wall and imagine let's say a very sexy girl without closing your eyes (I know it's tempting ). You can see that girl in front of you without even closing your eyes. where did she appear from? Is not that more powerful than sound inquiry?

energy vibrating at a certain frequency just like everything else in existence is energy vibrating at a certain frequency

It's strange, when I try to put something in my visual field without closing my eyes, I, or rather my eyes tend to wander around. The mental image and the visual experience don't really overlap as if they were completely separated.
