Well. I have this little pet theory that we might have sang before we talked, that language is a subset of music. So they speak of us being 'wired' for language, I'd imagine that understanding the 'logic' of music might be a part of that.

And music in turn is just vibrations. All of our reality is made of vibrational frequencies and so this explains that how reading ancient spiritual texts phonetically out loud gives us spiritual power even if we do not understand the words on the page. Thus, approaching this interesting idea BringtheLight has put forward I think that some tones work and others dont because human brains are set to work on a number of defined wavelengths only (that is what makes us humans more than anything else, we are on the wavelength of this physical plane).

The pentatonic scale is seen throughout all music, but why? Why do certain notes sound good and others dont? And how do people hit those notes in the auditorium like a reflex?

It seems the pentatonic scale is present because all things have to follow sacred geometry etc...
The only explaination not based in convential psychology I can see is that music literally manipulates anything in its proximity on a sub-molecular level. Thus the sounds that we like to define as nice are ones that make the environment match our mindset.

This explains how certain cultures have instuments like bells and flutes for purifying areas of evil spirits. When structures are organised subtle energy flows through them more easily. So if a Tibetan singing bowl or a choir of angels sounds nice its because it makes the environment light and life force energy moves more freely. If we are in a differant mindset and want the environment to be more dense we will listen to heavy music.

This works for words and other sounds also. We have all seen the study that froze water while playing music and words to it, I have to say it makes sense to me. Lets not forget we are comprised mainly of water especially our brain cavities.

reminds me of the movie "BIG" with tom hanks, i think i am in the wrong job career field....he probably makes 6 times what i do and he is on a stage bounching around....i = JEALOUS :-)

We are still singing. Every word you speak loses all of it's purpose if you don't "sing" it in it's proper tone. This is actually part of the programming. If you start using different tones for language you'll sound like a "fool" to people. That's because words only define meaning and their respective tones communicates the emotion behind it. Every senteance you stitch together becomes a short little melody.



To OP : Awesome video, thanks for sharing.

The word universe = one song

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

Putting the stressor on the individual word in the same sentence implies a new meaning or emphasis for the listener. Interesting!
