The Way of Pure Sound

A 9‑month global program with the “Indiana Jones of Sound Healing”

Study online or in person with the Research Director of 9ways Academia—53 years in sound culture as researcher, sound designer, and teacher. Learn to separate myth from method, build a reliable foundation, and create soundscapes with deeper meaning.

• Start date: January 9, 2027
• Meets: The 9th of each month for nine months
• Format: Live online Watch Party + digital Soundworkers Playbook
• Special guests and unpublished materials featured throughout

What You’ll Gain

• Clarity over hype: Evaluate claims, methods, and instruments with rigor.
• Historical depth: Trace a 14,000‑year arc of sound healing across cultures.
• Practical skill: Apply the Experience Field Method to design transformative soundscapes.
• Lineage insight: Explore Pure Sound through Tibetan, Bön, Sufi, and Pythagorean threads.
• Community: Join a global Watch Party network with live Q&A and mentoring.

Program Pillars

• Way of Pure Sound: Outer, Inner, and Secret instructions from a terma lineage preserved near Everest and linked to ancient ZhangZhung oral traditions.
• The Golden Chain: Follow Pythagorean currents eastward, their disappearance near Baku, and re‑emergence through Arabic scholarship, Gurdjieff, and Sufi lines.
• Evidence and ethics: Navigate unproven claims, marketing myths, and false methods; center the practitioner as the primary instrument.
• Sound and Dying: Draw on Phowa initiations and Dream Yoga to understand sound’s role at life’s thresholds.

Watch Party Format (monthly on the 9th)

• 55 minutes: Transmission (history, frameworks, exemplars)
• 15 minutes: Break
• 50 minutes: Q & A and student interaction

The Experience Field Method

A practitioner protocol developed since the pandemic that integrates:

• Hypnosis, meditation, trance, drone, white noise, gongs
• Blindfolded listening (“Black Class”) and tactile awareness
• ASMR techniques and akousmatic theory
• Message design inside soundscapes
• The “3rd Man Factor” and the “Floating Man” thought experiment

Dual purpose: a field-tested approach for crafting sound baths with ethos, and a training framework for practitioner growth.

A Note on Sources and Claims

Where historical texts or lineages are referenced (e.g., Samling Monastery translation; medieval Arabic treatises; Pythagorean accounts), we examine them as they are, indicating where consensus is strong, where translations vary, and where research continues. The goal is informed practice rooted in clarity.
