A Quest for Community

A personal journal of my first journeys to Damanhur & Auroville.

Tuesday, October 07, 2003

I'll not describe in detail what occurred in the next few hours. Suffice it to say that our guides led us through various rituals designed to amplify our subtle senses to tune to energies and cosmic communications we're normally unaware of. They activated selfic devices in the walls and floors and at one point they rhythmically struck a large bronze hanging gong whose overtones reverberated into increasingly subtle harmonics. As I focused on following the complex frequencies echoing from the slanted mirror walls, I began to notice a strange humming sound composed of extremely high and low tones that continued to fill the room long after the echoes of the gong had faded away. I tried covering my ears and to my surprise the sound continued undiminished, as if I was hearing it directly inside my brain.
