EARTH HEART GOLD

EAR can be made from the letters in Earth or Heart.
HEART and EARTH are "perfect" Anagrams of each other, in the letter sense.
EAR:
The ear is the sense organ that detects sound. The vertebrate ear shows a common biology from fish to humans, with variations in structure according to order and species. It not only acts as a receiver for sound, but plays a major role in the sense of balance and body position.

The word "ear" may be used correctly to describe the whole vertebrate ear, or just the visible portion. In most animals, the visible ear is a flap of tissue that is also called the pinna. The pinna may be all that shows of the ear, but it has only a tiny role in hearing and none at all in the sense of balance. In people, the pinna is more often called the auricle.

I find it interesting too that an EAR is also:
"The top part of a grain plant, such as wheat. The ear contains the seeds."

~See how it all links back to Earth, sound, sense of hearing, sense of balance, balance of the ecosystem,
life, both animal and plant.~

AURAL
Of or relating to the ear or to the sense of hearing.
AURICLE
1.Auricle:
Small ear-like projections. Found at the junction of the blade and the sheath in grasses. See drawing of parts of a grass plant.

2.Auricle:
The ear-like extension of the hinge found on some clams. See clams.

3.Auricle:
a small conical pouch projecting from the upper anterior part of each atrium of the heart.

4.Auricle:
The externally visible cartilaginous structure of the external ear

Now to return to the concept of the ear and our sense of,
Sound.
I do vibrational lexigramming. No letters are required from the source intitially. Only sound. It crosses all language barriers. Even animal speak can be lexigrammed this way. Any sound can be.

NOW ON TO SOUND.
EARTH/HEART/GOLD sounded right to me.
v(((< )(s/oO\s)(> )))v s+)oO(=L=w

AURUM=GOLD
AURUM lexigrams to:
UR AUM.
The "UR song" is a sound sung by newborns.
The oldest known music is also called The UR song . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_music http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aum
Aum, ; (also Om) is the most sacred syllable in Hinduism, symbolizing the infinite Brahman and the entire Universe. This syllable is sometimes called the "Udgitha" or "pranava mantra" (primordial mantra), because it is considered by Hindus to be the primal sound, and because most mantras begin with it. It first appeared prominently in the Vedic Tradition. As a seed syllable (bija mantra), it is also considered holy in Esoteric Buddhism.

AUM=OM as many say it.

Some interesting allusions to Aum and sound and spirituality:
~In Search of the Lost Chord~

In Search of the Lost Chord, released in 1968, was The Moody Blues' third album. It has twelve tracks, with a total running time of 42:07. The album was published by Deram Records.

(personally I find the 42:07.interesting as DNA in Hitchhiker's Guide to The Universe refers to 42 as "THE" answer)

The album is considered by some to be a concept album because several of the tracks deal with the theme of a person's search for spiritual fulfillment. Another concept dealt with in the album is the search for a mythical "lost chord," which is revealed to be the mantra "Om" (in the last stanza of Graeme Edge's poem "The Word"). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Search_of_the_Lost_Chord

The rain is on the roof
Hurry high butterfly
As clouds roll past my head

Far away the distant sound

Moody Blues The Word lyrics

This garden universe vibrates complete.
Some we get a sound so sweet.
Vibrations reach on up to become light,
And then thru gamma, out of sight.
Between the eyes and ears there lay,
The sounds of colour and the light of a sigh.
And to hear the sun, what a thing to believe.
But it's all around if we could but perceive.
To know ultra-violet, infra-red and X-rays,
Beauty to find in so many ways.
Two notes of the chord, that's our fluoroscope.
But to reach the chord is our lifes hope.
And to name the chord is important to some.
So they give a word, and the word is OM. http://www.musicsonglyrics.com/M/moodyblueslyrics/moodybluesthewordlyrics.htm

Golden Mean Pentagram

"Legend recounts how Orpheus was given a lyre by Apollo…by playing his lyre, Orpheus produced harmonies that joined all of nature together in peace and joy. Inspired by this Orphic tradition of music and science, Pythagoras of Samos conducted perhaps the world’s first physics experiment. By playing strings of different lengths, Pythagoras discovered that sound vibrations naturally occur in a sequence of whole tones or notes that repeat in a pattern of seven. Like the seven naturally occurring colors of the rainbow, the octave of seven tones".
‘The Harmonic Lyre’ by Stephen Ian McIntosh

another excerp:
PHI Ratio and the Musical Fifth

In the book ‘The Power of Limits’, architect Gyorgy Doczi surveys the similarity between the sacred geometry proportions in ancient temple construction of the Golden Mean ratio (1.618) and the interval of the fifth in music (1.667). The fifth is the interval found in most sacred music and has a powerful harmonizing effect on the human energy system. The fifth is the first harmonic sounded by a plucked string and gives the note its depth and beauty. This music–geometry connection is well stated in the poet-mystic Goethe’s phrase that ‘sacred architecture (or human body proportion!) is frozen music.’

"Since its discovery by Pythagoras, the fifth has come to be universally recognized for its beauty…the fifth is an archetypal expression of harmony that demonstrates the ‘fitting together’ of microcosm and macrocosm in an inseparable whole. The fifth is a beautiful sound because it demonstrates how the universe works." ‘The Harmonic Lyre’ Stephen Ian McIntosh

All of creation expresses itself through number and number is frequency, manifest as color, sound and form, and even as emotion and states of consciousness. The effects of harmonious design based on sacred proportions can be experienced first hand when one enters an ancient temple in Egypt or a Gothic cathedral, such as Chartres. The effect can be immediately sensed as harmonious, powerful and centering, and being inside a space designed with sacred proportions helps us to access other dimensions of consciousness.

"The most common proportions found in ancient Egyptian temple architecture correspond to the most harmonious intervals found in music: the octaves, fifths, fourths, thirds and sixths. In the temple of Horus at Edfu, the dimensions of one chamber's measurements of width to height equaled 2:3, which defines an interval of a fifth in music. ‘Rediscovering Music in the Architecture of Egyptian Temples’ by Antoine Seronde.

This expansion and transformation experienced by being inside a sacred space, can also be reached directly through listening to sacred music, or ‘aural geometry’. Most divinely inspired music, such as Gregorian chant, some ‘new age’ music, and the music of indigenous cultures, features the musical interval of the fifth. An easy way to understand a musical ‘fifth’, would be to use the white keys of a piano, and play middle C and counting C as the first note, play the fifth key up, which is G.

... the Egyptians utilized musical scales analogous to our own. The positions of the harpists' hands on the strings clearly indicate ratios such as the fourth, fifth and octave, revealing an unquestionable knowledge of the laws governing musical harmony. Lucy Lamy, Egyptian Mysteries (Thames and Hudson 1981)

The basic chords of most western music are made of a combination of a fundamental tone, a fifth with a third, or in the case of a C chord, the notes C-E-G, the first, third and fifth notes. However, when we leave out the third (E), the chord sounds distinctly ancient or sacred. I can remember that when I first began teaching myself to play the harp, I tended to play mostly in fifths, just because I liked the sound and the feeling effect of being centered and expanded when playing them. At that time I was not consciously aware of the harmonious principles at work. During those early days of my ‘harping’, I had a music colleague who played in symphony orchestras, who commented: ‘didn’t I play anything other than temple music?’

Another excerp:
Author John Michell has researched the tradition of ‘perpetual choirs’, in ancient Britain. According to Michell, these choirs were maintained in Britain in at least three sites: Glastonbury, STONEHENGE and Llantwit Major in Wales, which together form the rim of a circle in the landscape, with the center at an old Druid site called Whiteleafed Oak. He found the distances between these sacred sites to be equal and corresponding to sunrise points and sacred proportions. Similarly, sacred sites in other cultures were also laid out in geometric relationship, and were maintained with sacred music and chant, which were synchronized with the seasons and cosmic cycles.

Until very recent times gold was used as a heart remedy, this being

in this manner in high dilutions and regard it as a remedy for depressive
or suicidal conditions: a ‘total eclipse of the heart’. Its distribution
within the human organism reaches its highest concentration in the
region of the heart. Gold is used by doctors to diagnose heart problems.
As the highest concentrations of gold in the human body occur around
the heart, a radio-isotope of gold has been developed (the Au-195 isotope),
which can give an image of the blood-containing structures within the heart,
a process called 'heart-imaging'. Gold gives a heart image! In Britain this
new technology has been developed in St. Bartholomew's hospital,
London. One expert described the gold used in this way as 'a very
convenient medium for rapid assessment of changes in cardiac function' (3,4).
Economically, gold functions as a kind of heart-centre which maintains and
guarantees a circulation of paper money.
Cows have the highest concentration of gold in their horns.

Scientists work out origins of gold

A group of British and Swiss scientists says it may have solved the mystery of where gold comes from.

The earth does not have the extremes of pressure and temperature needed to create such dense metals and calculations by the team back up a theory that they were formed before the creation of the planet.

It's believed the metals are a by-product of nuclear reactions triggered by collisions between super-dense old stars -- objects up to a million times heavier than earth, but measuring only a few miles across.

The explosions threw the gold, platinum and other dense metals into space, polluting the gas around them, which then cooled into stars and planets such as earth, encasing deposits of gold within them.

BY THE WAY!

The word "GOLD" can also be used in another way.....

OIL IS BLACK GOLD.
So think of the oil being taken from the Earth and such drilling damaging the earth and

Not to forget, both gold and black

Controversial New Idea: Nerves Transmit Sound, Not Electricity
By Robert Roy Britt
LiveScience Managing Editor
posted: 14 March, 2007
1:00 pm ET

Nerves transmit sound waves through your body, not electrical pulses, according to a controversial new study that tries to explain the longstanding mystery of how anesthetics work.

Textbooks say nerves use electrical impulses to transmit signals from the brain to the point of action, be it to wag a finger or blink an eye.

"But for us as physicists, this cannot be the explanation," says Thomas Heimburg, a Copenhagen University researcher whose expertise is in the intersection of biology and physics. "The physical laws of thermodynamics tell us that electrical impulses must produce heat as they travel along the nerve, but experiments find that no such heat is produced."

The textbooks are not likely to be rewritten anytime soon, however.

Roderic Eckenhoff, a researcher in the Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, called the sound pulse idea interesting. "But an enormous burden of proof exists and they have a very long way to go to beat electricity," he said.

The olive oil clue

Nerves are wrapped in a membrane of lipids and proteins. Biology textbooks say a pulse is sent from one end of the nerve to the other with the help of electrically charged salts that pass through ion channels in the membrane. But the lack of heat generation contradicts the molecular biological theory of an electrical impulse produced by chemical processes, says Heimburg, who co-authored the new study with Copenhagen University theoretical physicist Andrew Jackson.

Instead, nerve pulses can be explained much more simply as a mechanical pulse of sound, Heimburg and Jackson argue. Their idea will be published in the Biophysical Journal.

Normally, sound propagates as a wave that spreads out and becomes weaker and weaker. But in certain conditions, sound can be made to travel without spreading and therefore it retains its intensity.

The lipids in a nerve membrane are similar to olive oil, the scientists explain. And the membrane has a freezing point that is precisely suited to the propagation of these concentrated sound pulses [graphic].

Eckenhoff is not convinced, however.

"It is difficult to explain away an enormous number of real electrical recordings in the cell, tissue and whole animal as being some kind of artifact," Eckenhoff told LiveScience. "And I cannot easily discern how the sound might be generated."

Explaining anesthesia

The idea from Heimburg and Jackson, if it were proven true, could have implication for anesthetics, another mysterious process.

Oddly, scientists don't understand exactly what happens when a patient is anesthetized. While the goal of an anesthetic is to prevent the brain from feeling pain, the drugs can affect a patient's heart rate and breathing. So a better understanding of how it all works would allow development of better drugs.

Researchers do know that the proper doses of ether, laughing gas, chloroform and other anesthetics are all based on their solubility in olive oil. But how the nerves are turned off is a mystery.

Heimburg and Jackson offer an explanation.

If a nerve is to be able to transport sound pulses, they say, then the melting point of its membrane must be close to body temperature. Anesthetics change the melting point so that sound pulses can't propagate, they conclude. Nerves are put on stand-by and a patient doesn't feel the knife slicing into his body.

While Eckenhoff acknowledges there is much to learn, he expects the precise effects of anesthesia will ultimately be explained by an integration of current theories rather than by employing the new idea of sound pulses.

ANother article: http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2007/03/09/science-nervessound-20070309.html

The common view that nerves transmit impulses through electricity is wrong and they really transmit sound, according to a team of Danish scientists.

The Copenhagen University researchers argue that biology and medical textbooks that say nerves relay electrical impulses from the brain to the rest of the body are incorrect.

"For us as physicists, this cannot be the explanation," said Thomas Heimburg, an associate professor at the university's Niels Bohr Institute. "The physical laws of thermodynamics tell us that electrical impulses must produce heat as they travel along the nerve, but experiments find that no such heat is produced."

Heimburg, an expert in biophysics who received his PhD from the Max Planck Institute in Goettingen, Germany — where biologists and physicists often work together in a rare arrangement — developed the theory with Copenhagen University's Andrew Jackson, an expert in theoretical physics.

According to the traditional explanation of molecular biology, an electrical pulse is sent from one end of the nerve to the other with the help of electrically charged salts that pass through ion channels and a membrane that sheathes the nerves. That membrane is made of lipids and proteins.

Heimburg and Jackson theorize that sound propagation is a much more likely explanation. Although sound waves usually weaken as they spread out, a medium with the right physical properties could create a special kind of sound pulse or "soliton" that can propagate without spreading or losing strength.

The physicists say because the nerve membrane is made of a material similar to olive oil that can change from liquid to solid through temperature variations, they can freeze and propagate the solitons.

The scientists, whose work is in the Biophysical Society's Biophysical Journal, suggested that anesthetics change the melting point of the membrane and make it impossible for their theorized sound pulses to propagate.

The researchers could not immediately be reached for comment.

Singing bowls were historically made in Tibet, Nepal, India, Bhutan, China, Japan and Korea. Today they are made in Nepal, India, Japan and Korea. The most common type are from the Himalayan region.

Origins, history and usage
In Buddhist practice, singing bowls are used as a support for meditation and prayer. For example, in Chinese Buddhists use the singing bowl to accompany the wooden fish during chanting, striking it when a particular phrase in a sutra or hymn is sung. In Japan and Vietnam, singing bowls are similarly used during chanting and may also mark the passage of time or signal a change in activity.

The use of singing bowls in Tibet is the subject of much debate and stories. Some people say singing bowls were not used in Tibet while others say they were extremely widespread. Some say they were simply used for meditation while others say they were magical tools for transformation of self and of matter.

As Perry (1996) and Jansen(1992) state, little is known in western scholarship regarding Himalayan singing bowls. It is likely they were used in rituals, having a specific function like other instruments, such as the ghanta, tingsha and shang. The oral and written traditions from the Himalayan region are vast and largely unknown in the west. To date, no specific texts have been found discussing the use of singing bowls in depth, but according to Joseph Feinstein (2006), paintings and statues dating from several centuries ago depict singing bowls in detail. Singing bowls from at least the 10th-12th century are found in private collections. The tradition may date significantly earlier since bronze has been used to construct musical instruments since ancient times. Bronze bells from Asia have been discovered since as early as the 8th-10th century BCE (Feinstein, 2006).

Singing bowls are played by striking with a soft mallet to produce a warm bell tone and (in the case of genuine antiques) harmonic overtones. They may also be played by the friction of rubbing a wooden, plastic, or leather wrapped mallet around the rim of the bowl to produce overtones and a continuous 'singing' sound.

Antique singing bowls are unique because they are multiphonic instruments, producing multiple harmonic overtones at the same time. They are widely used as an aid to meditation (see the "Meditation and the brain" section in Meditation). They are also used in yoga, music therapy, sound healing, religious services, performance and for personal enjoyment.

Antique singing bowls
Antique singing bowls were made of bronze, an alloy of copper, tin and other metals. Antiques often include silver, gold, zinc, iron and nickel. Antique singing bowls produce multiphonic and polyharmonic overtones which are unique to the antique instruments. The subtle yet complex multiple harmonic frequencies are a special quality of the high quality polymetallic alloy. The art of making singing bowls in the traditional manner is considered a lost art.

Antique singing bowls may display abstract decorations like lines, rings and circles etched into the surface. Decoration may appear outside the rim, inside the bottom, around the top of the rim and sometimes on the outside bottom. Antique singing bowls never have figurative decoration like Buddhas, mandalas, or dragons. Such decorations are only found on new singing bowls.

Antique singing bowls are highly prized and collected worldwide. Their popularity is due to their fine craftsmanship and remarkable sound. Genuine antiques are rare and available from only a few sources. Fake antiques are plentiful and cheap, so shoppers should be cautious.

New singing bowls

Many new singing bowls are made to look antique and are often sold as 'old,' 'antique' or 'vintage.' Most bowls on the market are new, even if they are advertised as 'old.' New singing bowls lack the warmth and complexity of tone found in the fine antiques.

New bowls may be plain or decorated. They sometimes feature religious iconography and spiritual motifs and symbols, like the Tibetan mantra om mani padme hum, pictures of Buddhas, mandala, etc.

New singing bowls are made from industrial quality metal, mainly copper. They are exported widely from Nepal and India.
(I know mine IS brass)
Excellent quality new singing bowls are made in Japan and Korea but are not widely exported.

New singing bowls and crystal bowls do not produce the warm and complex tone of fine antiques. They sound like clear and simple bells, without the warm undertones and bright harmonic overtones for which antiques are famous.
Crystal singing bowls

Crystal bowls are often categorized together with metal singing bowls but they are very different. The use of the word "crystal" is misleading because crystal bowls are actually made from silicone glass. Their manufacture was an offshoot of medical containers like test tubes. Crystal bowls produce what is referred to as a pure sine tone (refer pure tone). This pure sine tone can be very intense and piercing. The tone is qualitatively different from the warm timbre and complex polyphonic experience of antique singing bowls. Crystal bowls do not produce multiple harmonic overtones and lack the warm and mellow quality of antique singing bowls. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singing_bowl
