Revelation 14:2 · World English Bible
I heard a sound from heaven, like the sound of many waters, and like the sound of a great thunder. The sound which I heard was like that of harpists playing on their harps.
Sound rises within when the higher centers awaken, heard as an inner voice rather than an outer one. The many waters are the massed emotional and life-currents of a person moving in unison, and the great thunder is the deep vibration felt in the body when spiritual force gathers to a peak.

ESOTERIC
Sound rises within when the higher centers awaken, heard as an inner voice rather than an outer one. The many waters are the massed emotional and life-currents of a person moving in unison, and the great thunder is the deep vibration felt in the body when spiritual force gathers to a peak. The harpers are the awakened nerve-centers played like strings, each vibrating at its own pitch, and their music is the tuned harmony of a being brought into accord.
What happens inside is that the awakened person begins to perceive an inner sound, the felt resonance of the body's energies flowing together. The scattered forces that once made noise now play as one instrument, and the harmony of the whole self becomes audible from within.
Many waters: the massed emotional and life-currents of a person moving as one Great thunder: the deep vibration felt in the body when spiritual force gathers to its peak Harpers and harps: the awakened nerve-centers played like strings, sounding the tuned harmony of the whole being

What in me is making noise right now instead of music?
The inner sound heard in deep stillness is called the unstruck sound, a tone no instrument makes. Those who listen inward long enough report a hum beneath all other hearing, the body's own current becoming audible.
The reed flute sings only because it was hollowed out. When a person is emptied of self-noise, the breath moving through them becomes music instead of complaint.
A bell and the one who hears it are not two things. When attention gathers completely, the hearing and the sound arrive as a single event in the body.
