The Pi effect (Original source http://paranormal.about.com)

Persistent Pi Sound from William

I just started having a weird experience and not sure what to make of it. Tonight I followed a link (titled "Greek Alphabet: Ancient Artefacts") from your Ancient Anomalies page. From there I went to a site (the address is (http://www.eagle-net.org/phikent/chakra.html). The site is about the sound made by using Pi as it's base. Now to the weird part. Ever since I heard the sound, it seems to always be playing in the background. At first I thought my computer was messing up, so I rebooted it. Nope, that wasn't it. I walked outside, but I could still hear it. It's very faint. If I turn on the TV or air conditioner I can't hear it, but if it gets quiet, I can still hear it. It's not like a song stuck in my head. I can actually hear it with my ears. If I cover them, it goes away. I still don't know what to think about it. It's just too weird. Did I somehow become "tuned" to it? Am I actually hearing the same sound that's made by nature that I just never noticed before?

More on the Pi Chord by Kendra

Something odd happened when I played the pi-chord on Page 9 in the Gallery. The first time I clicked on the icon, the sound was too low and I only heard a faint "click." However, it really startled my two male guinea pigs (the female, in another cage, didn't seem to be affected). The guinea pigs had been dozing, and as soon as the sound played both males jerked their head up. The second click (after I turned up the sound) didn't bother the guinea pigs, but did wake up my cat (the dog sleeping next to it wasn't wakened), and my chair seemed to "rock." There certainly is something in this sound byte! I wonder what it is. The sound didn't follow me to other sites or elsewhere, and after the first two times it played there were no further reactions from my animals - or chair. This was a very strange experience, indeed, and I'm not likely to forget it. And More... by Kim P. You wanted feedback about the Pi sound. Well, I tried it and I have to say I keep hearing - ever so faintly - the sound over and over through my computer speakers. If there is some other piece of sound on the speakers at the time, no, I don't hear it, but if the speakers are quiet, I do hear the sound. Like a very, very, faint vibration. I now have my speakers turned down, and nothing. Just turned up, barely audible, but I do hear. I wonder if I will hear it tomorrow. And Yet Even More by Robert J. I have had a similar experience as the "pi sound" man. It was in 1984 and I had been sitting in my bed in NYC for hours. I was naked and was sitting with my back against the wall with my legs and feet pointing to the other end of the bed. After about the sixth or seventh hour of being in that same position (deeply depressed and deep in a trance) suddenly it felt like two hands came out of the wall, grabbed me by my shoulders and slammed my back into the wall, while a tone, a combination of tones, (I can say seven tones exactly) came up from my gut and out my throat. It was a three or four second burst in a perfect harmony that sounded Druidic or Tibetan. I also have described the event as if gravity had suddenly and momentarily flipped 90 degrees and an unknown force had rung me out from my gut to my throat. I also have experienced the shaking ground - quite a bit, as well as a veritable "can of worms" of other unbelievable events. I have a picture of myself just after practising some "resonance" in a hollow, metal telephone pole. In the photo there is a cloud - fog, ghost, poltergeist - or whatever coming from my mouth. The "pi" sound is very similar to what I was producing.

Pi Sound and Meditation Projection by Dove

You said on your sight to let you know if anyone had experience similar to William's regarding his post "Persistent Pi Sound." When I listened to the wav, I was shocked. I have heard this sound before – only louder, and the vibrational rate of the sound was heavier. The tone wasn't deeper, it was "heavier" is the only way I can describe it. The sound was not just heard, but felt. I have only experienced this sound once. It was during meditation. I was about five minutes into the meditation when I found myself in a white room, sitting at a white desk next to a woman dressed in a white flowing robe-type garment. Around her waist was a gold cord tied loosely around her with tassels at the ends of the cord. I asked her, "What is this place?" and she gestured to the desk where a computer monitor had appeared. On the monitor was her answer to my question: "You are Home." When I asked her if God was here, too, she smiled knowingly, but no answer appeared on the screen. Then I asked her, "What is God like?" She smiled again and leaned toward me, putting her lips to my ear. From her mouth came this sound - the same sound as William's wav that’s on your site. Only it was louder and heavier, as I said before. I felt the sound as much as heard it. I felt it in every fibre of my being. Instantly, I was back in my body and aware that I had left that other place. My hand was over my ear and my inner ear itched so bad that it felt like little bugs running around in there. It took several minutes for the itching to cease and when it did, it was replaced by an ache. My ear continued to ache for a week, as if it was a reminder of what I had experienced. In addition to the ache, I also had trouble hearing out of that ear for a couple of weeks and it felt as if the eardrum was constantly vibrating, as if to interpret a sound that was out of my range of hearing. It was an amazing experience, one I’ll never forget. When I described it to others, they had difficulty understanding me. After all, how does one describe a sound? The closest thing I could connect it to is the "ohm" chant of Buddhist monks, even though it was far more than that. As Pi is mathematical infinity, I have to assume the message the woman was giving me is that God is infinity, as in "God is all things for all time." Perhaps the reason William was unable to stop perceiving the sound once he heard it is because it struck a deep chord of remembrance within him, as this is a sound that on some level, we all know and have all experienced – even if we can't recall it.

WHAT IS PI

original source http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/58290.html

Pi is a number. It is approximately equal to 3.1416 , but that is not its exact value. We are interested in this number because of an astounding fact about all circles. Take an exact circle, any circle. The distance around it is called the "circumference" and the length of a line from one side to the other through the centre is called the "diameter". Sometimes that line itself is called a diameter line.

Now divide: circumference / diameter = ? What number do you get?

For big circles or smaller circles or medium- sized circles the answer is ALWAYS the same. That number is pi.

I cannot write down here for you exactly what pi is, because I would have to write down an infinite number of digits. I can tell you that a better approximate value is : 3.1415926535898 but that still is not exact. The real pi just keeps going on and on. Fortunately, most of the times we use it we only need one of the shorter approximate values for it. Two of the best known ways to use pi are in formulas for finding the circumference "C" of a circle and the area "A" of a circle, if you know what the radius "R" of the circle is. They are : C = 2*pi*R A = pi*R*R where "*" stands for multiplication. Since R*R is sometimes called "R squared", often this equation for area is said "pi R squared".

In summary, pi is a number, but it is used in equations.
