"The experience of Sound Prayer teaches us that while our knowledge is finite our consciousness is limitless.... Our Sound Prayers send vibrations up the spinal column of all the worlds.... In this way we help bring our earthly world into alignment with the upper worlds as we attune to the rest of the universe. Sound Prayer promotes stability, integration, and peace in all the worlds by helping harmonize the many disparate forces within us and within the universe."
According to the modern science of Superstring Theory, the fundamental particles of the universe consist of "tiny one dimensional loops. Like an infinitely thin rubber band, each particle contains a vibrating, oscillating, dancing filiment." (Brian Green)

"Sound and Breath and Speech"(The order of all creation as explained in the ancient Kabbalah Text: The Book of Formation)
`
The Hindu creation story tells us that in the beginning, the Universe was created with a sound. "A slow gathering, a humming, a throbbing. It grew and pulsed and filled the emptiness: a power, an urge, a throbing itch of energy.... it billowed and gathered into a single echoing syllable, folding in on itself endlessly, endlessly, like a beating heart."
`
The Hopi Indians understood that "the living body of man and the living body of the earth were constructed in the same way... through each ran an axis.... along this axis were several vibratory centers that echoed the primordial sound of life throughout the universe." (Frank Waters)
`
The philospher Rudolph Steiner tells us that when we engage with tone, we put our ear to the very heart of nature itself... for at the foundation of everything physical in the world, lies a tone.
`
The brilliant mystic Edgar Cayce wrote in the 1930's that: "Pure Sound will be the healing modality of the future."
`
The Great Sufi Master H.I. Kahn teaches that since all things are derived and formed by vibration, "they have sound hidden within them as fire is hidden in flint, and each atom of the universe confesses by its tone, that my sole origin is sound."
`
"Our body, mind and spirit resonate with specific vibrations, and each aspect of our being has a particular sound...vibration affects all of the worlds, the physical world around us and the unseen spiritual world as well." (Shulamit)
