- lisper 15y agoThat seems improbable. The Jordan river is mentioned only once in the Bible (Mark 1:5) and it has nothing to do with sound. Nowhere in the Bible do the words "sound" and "river" occur in the same verse. "Sound" and "Jordan" likewise are never found together in the same verse.
- forensic 15y agoI count 179 mentions http://www.biblegateway.com/keyword/index.php?search=Jordan&searchtype=all&version1=9&spanbegin=1&spanend=73&resultspp=500&displayas=long&sort=bookorder http://www.biblegateway.com/keyword/index.php?search=Jordan&... There are many translations. "A voice of the howling of the shepherds! For destroyed was their robe of honour, A voice of the roaring of young lions! For destroyed was the excellency of Jordan." Anyway I didn't come up with that idea. Its just something I read the meditator Yogananda say when I looked it up. He said that hearing the head exploding sound is this spiritual thing and that the bible among other spiritual text alludes to it esoterically when it mentions the roar of the Jordan and the crossing f the Jordan. My head exploding experience sounded like the tremendous roar of a river inside my head. Happened a few times before I found that spiritual interpretation re: meditation. I haven't done much meditation since then.
- lisper 15y agoYou're right. I thought the unqualified mentions of Jordan were referring to the country, not the river. But the country of Jordan didn't exist (at least not by that name) until 1921.
