is a sound mind in a sound body?

No not at all. I know a lot of people who are of sound mind but they are not of sound body. They have illnesses or sicknesses that prevent them for having both. But sure it does stress them knowing they are sick but what makes them sound is how they deal with it from day to day.

Different level of mental states.

I think you can be both! You can be sound while having a valid point; by the same token, to be sound, there has to be at least some validity to it...

Good point made by "one eye".  www.dictionary.reference.com says "1. the sensation produced by stimulation of the organs of hearing by vibrations transmitted through the air or other medium." \n\nIt really does depend on your definition of sound.  Because if sound only exists as a relationship between two objects (an emitter and a receiver) then it is impossible for sound to exist without someone hearing it.  Like a phone call requires two people.  Vibrations must be heard to be classified as sound.  Otherwise they're just vibrations.  So no, according to the dictionaries it doesn't make a sound... but it would make a lot of firewood.

Typically is an over active mind... The mind did not have time to purge or dispense with all the sensory input from the day.. so the mind puts the body in action during rest.. because.. hey... if I can't sleep.. neither should the body... ha ha...

No. Sound is a waveform of energy that travels from particle to particle. When there's no particles the wave stops. Kind of like waves of the sea don't continue on land.\n\nBut - if you have a planet with atmosphere that's thick enough you'd get sound.

Can you hear thoughts like a voice in the head? \n\nHow many times have you woken from a dream at night in which you clearly 'heard' and 'saw' people talking. Imagination and reality become indistinguishable when the mind shuts down the conscious  and gives free reign to the subconscious. \n\nI use the word 'subconcious' with caution. It is an interesting word, recent, and yet masterfully meaningless.  It refers to a non-specifiable region of the mind that does not exist in reality, i.e. that can be proved to be true by observation. It is part of the psycho babble of 19th century drug addicts and meths drinkers who thought they discovered a new science. Many such terms were dregged up from their imaginations to try and straighjacket the activity of the mind into a perfectly rational schema - the more they wrote, the more wacky it became. Now almost a religion.\nWhat you 'hear' in your sleep is 'sound' you would normally hear while you are awake. The only difference is your state.\nSo it is perfectly logical and reasonable to describe the voice of God (I use a capital G for a pronoun) as a voice you hear in your mind much in the same way you would hear that voice in your sleep.\nSound waves impact upon the ear drum which we can interpret any way we like, depending on the level of distraction. A fart in the toilet, because of the resonance, may be interpreted by someone inadvertently listening through the wooden door as the rubbing of  skin against the side of the bath. I talk from experience. Very often also, we 'hear' something spoken to us but when asked to repeat it we repeat a completely different string of words. The 'inner voice' in the mind recalls sounds that 'fit' the pattern of waves and inform our conscious mind what words were spoken. You could argue that the incorrectly repeated phrase was from a voice in the head and not from the outside world of sound waves.\n\nSo too, in this way, God communicates to us directly to our minds bypassing the often unreliable source of spoken words that can be misunderstood or misinterpreted in a very spectacular way. A still, quiet voice, says 'I love you'. Yes, I hear God very clearly indeed since I repented and surrendered my life to Him.\n\nTo give you a very clear example of how unreliable audible sound can be. I worked with a colleague at Honda UK back in the 70's who was badly knifed by a thug on the London underground. When he came out of hospital he told us the story (I have no reason to doubt his account). He was trying to light up a fag and while he was struggling with his lighter he looked at the guy opposite him - unconscious of staring at him for a few seconds. The guy opposite got up and asked him 'do you want a light mate?'  He thought he said 'light' when infact he had said 'fight' and when he said 'yes' the guy punched him in the face. He retaliated and then got slashed. He ended up with over 20 stitches. I knew this chap at Honda wouldn't have said boo to a carrot, it was a terrible case of misunderstanding.\n\nSorry to give you a long winded answer but I've only touched the surface with regard to 'communication'. The point is, God can speak and we can hear His voice on the same channel as the one I've described.\n\nHope this is useful. If not, you can always get yer head messed up by learning psycho babble!

Of course not. It's in your inner ear and not audible anywhere but in your own head.

Two ears.... acoustics. A blind or just blind-folded person can still sense depth and range from the sounds his two ears pick up. Try it, it's fun.

it is sound. one is pleasant to listen to, one is not

This is essentially a question of definitions, i.e. how you define sound or noise. \n\nHere are the two basic answers. \n\nYes \n\nA noise is a sound and a sound is a set of vibrating molecules referred to as sound waves. If a tree falls in the forest and makes a sound, it makes molecular vibrations, or sound waves, whether any human ear drum is around to sense them or not. So yes, it makes a noise. A person hearing it is irrelevant to the being of the sound. A person hearing it is only relevant to human consciousness of the sound. \n\nAnother argument for this viewpoint is based on theology. God observes the entire universe. \n\nNo \n\nIf a tree falls, and no one is around to hear it, it does not make a noise by definition. What is noise? What is sound? One must make sure to look at this question not from such a skewed view point to realize that he or she is being misled. From an early stage in our lives, through modern science, it is FACT that sound waves are processed in our brains, thus if we are not near the sound it is just an assumption that it does make a noise. \n\nSound travels through our ears, into the canal, and into the brain to allow for it to be processed by the brain, allowing for us to differentiate due to experiences that yes, it is that particular noise. However, one would not know the sound to be that way if they cannot imagine the situation. Thus, a human being or another entity must be present to absorb the vibrations, waves, etc in order to process the information. \n\nSome take this further and claim that the whole universe does not really exist until it is observed.

NO!  Sound waves are just vibrations until an ear receives it and sends it to a brain that processes it. If no ear receives it before the vibration dissipates then there is no sound.

So the fact the tiniest bones and an ear drum can take in those vibrations, distinguish the smallest differences so a violinist and other musicians can distinguish between music notes does not impress you.  Tell that to the blind.\n\nIt is a sense because it is one of the five ways our bodies can help our brain interpret the environment around us.\n\nVertigo is feeling of imbalance.  The ear is the main organ in charge of balance.

i have thought about this in the past, example when i am wireing a boiler in (for my job) i realised i was setting out the job and coming to a conclusion of how to do it, it was easy to work out in my head and i realised i had worked it out far faster than i could explain it in words. when i think of how this is done the closet i can get too is that we think in some form of brain language,far faster than images you can consiously think of, but images is the nearest word i can think of to explain it.  i think as a hearing person you naturally conbine the "brain language" and spoken language maybe losing the ability to ever understand it. I would love to know if there was any answers, or investigations to this question.

Yes, no and yes.\nThe hearing part is really sensing vibrations, but they don't ACTUALLY hear.

the mind is intangible, it has no physical presence.  on the other hand it is thought by some to reside in the thinking substance, the brain.  then there is the view that the mind resides in the dan tien, about 3 inches below the sternum.  still others think that it resides in a substance found throughout the human body.\n\nwhat is it?  it is a higher order presence that by it's nature reflects the contents of the organic brain, the thoughts and ideas of the physical self.
