Thanks for that attempt, John. I wonder why you think that sound you heard was the sound of the Nada. I looked up that word in a couple of glossaries and here's what I found:

From Purucker Glossary:
<<Nada (Sanskrit) Sound; used by Blavatsky mystically for the voice of the silence or soundless voice: "Literally perhaps this would read 'Voice in the Spiritual Sound,' " (VS 73).>>

From "Collation of Theosophical Glossaries":
<<VS Nada (I 2), "the Soundless Sound" [[p. 1]] The "Soundless Voice," or the "Voice of the Silence." Literally perhaps this would read "Voice in the Spiritual Sound," as Nada is the equivalent word in Sanskrit, for the Sensar term.

SKv Nada Literally 'sound'; from the verb-root nad -- to sound. H. P. Blavatsky used this word Nada in the sense of the 'Voice of the Silence,' the voice of Atman or the Divine Self of man.>>

<< I last heard it in 1981, before I saw the Boundless Light and Home. Since then the Nada is not here at least as I knew it as sound, but instead I get "Living Light" shows periodically that last sometimes a short time and sometimes several hours.>>

Sounds interesting, but I don't know what you're referring to.

<<I finally got to the point that I understood to mock up an astral phone and answer it, then there was someone at the other end. >>

So was the conversation interesting?

<<Try searching Google for "Siddhi's," the Mystical sounds Daniel recently in the Voice of The Silence. Noetic sounds are not limited to just the 10 primary types usually listed referencing the Siddhi's. Do exploring and research on the topic of spiritual sounds and get your feet wet a little in the waters of the literature on the topic. John>>

Thanks,
Mauri
