Hello to you R. Rangan PhD and synchronicity. It's been quite a while, a couple years perhaps, since we engaged with each other. I don't often read my Medium Daily Digests, but as I've been noticing your name more often these days in my also highlighted notifications and as I could see in the subject line of the email your name and the title of this story which looked intriguing, I decided to open the email and click into your story. Synchronicity.

First, I very much enjoyed the poem. The substance of the article is indeed intriguing. It also made me think of how Tony Bennett couldn't remember anything the last few years but as soon as his piano player started tickling the ivory he could sing every song and would also remember who Lady Gaga is.

Your poem and the subject matter also syncs up with this recent poem by Anthi Psomiadou, https://medium.com/channspirations/in-the-beginning-was-the-sound-b2bba035defe, which she was inspired to write from her recent studies of the mysticism of sound. Her poem contains these lines:

"Vibratory activity is a key

for cosmogony’s opening-ride.

Eudaimonia depends

upon the rhythm of vibrations.

A new perspective, and practice

reveal eternal Laws’ foundations.

For if one studies their body

from the mystical point of view,

moving surprises will occur;

creation will start — and sound — anew."

The mysticism of sound seems right up your alley of science and soul. As does that I have been listening to somewhat musical sound recordings lately from the website of a now-retired sound/healer/mystic/shaman named Tom Kenyon. https://tomkenyon.com/. So far, I've been using from the available for free downloads, the pineal gland attunement recording, the Trillium Sound Meditation to "draw to yourself restorative and balancing energies from other levels of the Cosmos," and the Restoration, which is "a Hathorian sound meditation that was created to impart restorative energies to different levels of your being." Apparently, the Hathors are interdimensional beings who have imparted their wisdom and techniques to Tom.

As a person of science and soul, you might also find interesting my essay that proposes an interdependent and fairly equal relationship between science, spirituality (as opposed to religion), and philosophy in the search for knowledge/understanding of reality. https://marcus17043.medium.com/menage-a-trois-between-science-spirituality-and-philosophy-a634f5446364

I'm publishing this comment to my profile and hope some of my subscribers find their way to your piece. Lastly, if synchronicity/meaningful coincidence is something you experience, perhaps you would like to write for our pub. https://medium.com/channspirations/submission-guidelines-ecdec63baba6
