Cymatics and the Voice of God

cymaticsThis is a video I came across at Ted.com. It features Evan Grant demonstrating how sound can cause form within matter. It’s fascinating how the invisible gives shape and complex patterns to the visible (reminds me of crop circles).

It’s particularly interesting to me the way sound forms the archetypal forms found in nature. Grant’s musing on the immense sound of the big bang got me thinking about the Biblical narrative of creation. God said, “Let there be…”, and there it was. That’s sound giving form to matter. So, we’re essentially God’s words walking around in God’s words. All of creation is something he said.

This is the idea behind a new series of posts coming up at TheMerryMonk.com called, Watching Words. I’ll be taking pictures and video of God’s “words” and sharing my meditations on what I imagine and believe God is saying to me personally. I’ll also open up the site to you if you’d like to watch words with me and share your thoughts.

But first, here’s that video.

    At the end he says, “the substance of things unseen.” Was he quoting the bible?

    Well, I was just flicking through my ‘Tabitis’ (the problem of having multiple tabs open in firefox) checking on items of interest to me. I just finished reading an article on a blog which was about ‘synchronicity’ and the next tab has this post by the Merry Monk. Imagine my surprise that its about cymatics. I have just finished two articles on this very topic. For those interested in reading them they can be viewed at: Cymatics-Sacred Geometry-DNA and Crop Circles and 2012.

    When you drop by I’m sure you will notice the ‘synchronicity’ here. My articles are on ‘crop circles’ and ‘sound as creation’. Keep up the good work Mr Merry Monk.
