Sound used as language is often used to dissect, while sound used as music is used as a ride of sorts.
What is even more interesting is that you’ve found an internal way to alter your state of mind. Humans and I guess all life have reactions which are highly dependent on outside stimuli to work. As example, if we are frightened by something, our mind and body will react in far more powerful ways than we would otherwise. The adrenalin rush we experience is largely dependent on outside stimuli. It would be difficult to create this adrenalin rush just by concentrating. As another example, if one is obsessing about something, it is difficult to let go of it. Obsessing becomes a nearly perpetual act. You have found a way to not only turn that off, but to calm yourself enough to fall asleep without outside stimuli, other than perhaps the sound of your voice.
Anyway, I agree that sound as an abstract can have a powerful effect on the mind.
Your last sentence brings up the question of what freedom is? Is freedom merely the escape from being “I?” If so, is this a goal of religion? And bringing it back to the topic of the thread, does resurrection of JC serve the purpose of freedom?

Absolutely his death and resurrection is the door into the kingdom of God which is with in you, its a state of being that Chist offers you as you learn of him and walk in his ways..Here is what you cannot understand and the reason is because the knowledge only comes from God.. while you read the bible and try to understand it you cannot unless you have the spirit that wrote the bible living on the inside of you.. this only comes by your exceptence of Christ resurection and you believe who he said he is.. when you commit your heart to that purpose then you will have an experience that will take all your doubts and unbeleives away I garantee it. Now the bible comes alive and It is the greatest book ever writen. how vast is the bible as vast as God is there is no end to it.. you can spend the rest of your life searching the scriptures and never find an end to the depth of knowledge it goes on and on and on...wise men seek him..
