Sound is the Creative, Sustaining and Destructive Energies
of the creative hierarchies of the Universe.
-Imre Vallyon

In India, it is said the universe  hangs on sound.
Not ordinary sound, but a cosmic vibration
so massive and subtle and all-encompassing
that everything seen and unseen (including man)
is filled with it.
-David Reck

The first manifestation of this supreme creative energy
is cosmic sound vibration with creative potency.
Therefore we can visualize sound as an ocean of energetic vibrations.
All objects and creatures that live
are different manifestation of this absolute energy.
In every object and living being,
there is a unique configuration of vibrations.
This special constellation of energy
produces a unique rhythm in each individual.
Every being has an essential sound of its own.
From this, every human life has its own song.
His or her life evolution is an unfoldment of the seed word,
the seed sound within.
-Haridas Chaudhuri

All vibrations are characterized by rhythm,
a repeated regular pattern of movement
through time and space.
-Anodea Judith

All things...are aggregations or atoms that dance
and their movements produce sounds.
When the rhythm of the dance changes, the sound produced also changes...
Each atom perpetually sings its own song,
and the sound, at every moment, creates dense and subtle forms.
-Fritjof Capra

All creation is by "Word."
The "Word" is a vibration of sounds.
A "sound" is the expression of breath.
-Albert Sidney Raleigh

Man is a "sound chamber."
Man is a "speaking reed."
-Gaston Bachelard

The physical effect of sound
has a great influence upon the human body.
The whole mechanism,
the muscles, the blood circulation, the nerves,
are all moved by the power of vibration.
There can be a resonance for every sound,
so the human body is a living instrument for sound.
-Hazrat Inayat Khan

The effect of sound is on each atom of the body,
for each atom resounds.
-Hazrat Inayat Khan

Sound has a power in itself,
and by making the body repeat a sound,
one also makes it absorb the corresponding vibration.
-Mirra Alfassa, "The Mother"

It is an energy which lives in you.
It has a very fine substance.
This energy has a healing quality.
It is really sound.
-Jean Klein

By the delicate, invisible web you wove -
The inexplicable mystery of sound.
-T. S. Eliot

Sound seems to be nothing but broken movement
in the sense that color is broken light.
-Novalis

Sound becomes visible in the form of radiance.
-Hazrat Inayat Khan

Sound is the vocabulary of nature.
-Pierre Schaeffer

All of nature begins to whisper its secrets to us through its sounds.
Sounds that were previously incomprehensible to our soul
now become the meaningful language of nature.
-Rudolf Steiner

When a thing ceases to be,
its sound disappears from the world.
-Joan Halifax

Silence is the ultimate sound.
-Vishnudevananda

If you want to find the secrets of the universe,
think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.
-Nikola Tesla

Listen to the harmonics in the atmosphere.
Climb the ladder of the harmonics.
Become your self - pure vibration beyond space.
You hear in each vibration the harmonics of that vibration
and the harmonics of that vibration float on the sea of vibrations.
You are in absolute inner sound.
-Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan

The master in the art knows how to make use of all sounds,
operate on all vibratory levels, play on all scales.
-Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan

He who knows the secret of sound,
knows the mystery of the whole universe.
-Hazrat Inayat Khan
