The many carvings around the Rosslyn Chapel just outside of Edinburgh, Scotland intrigued me when I visited the Chapel in 2000. Now it seems that they are not only beautiful but also have a hidden message of sound. A father and son became fascinated by the symbols carved into the chapel's arches and say they have deciphered a musical score encrypted in them.
"The music has been frozen in time by symbolism," Mitchell said on his Web site external link, which details the 27-year project to crack the chapel's code.
The Mitchell's unlocked a beautiful hidden melody contained within the intricate carvings by connecting them to cymatic patterns, sometimes referred to as Chladni patterns. The Mitchell's have called the piece The Rosslyn Motet and added words from a contemporary hymn to complete it.
I am thrilled about the research confirming the meaning behind the patterns. If the song has now been interpreted who is to say what else may be uncovered. The Apprentice Pillar, where some of the symbols are carved, has DNA like imagery encircling the supporting column. Perhaps there is an even more powerful message of healing that is encoded within the music symbols. I look forward to the next step of discovery.

Please compare your post with this here: http://www.skytopia.com/project/fractal/mandelbulb.html - - - the similarities are astonishing: 3D-fractals and ornaments in cathedrals and churches. They are from the same source or intelligence and both with computers in the future and our own spiritual practice we will have, already hava and have always had the access to the all-encompassing open intelligence.
