Irving asked:

I am writing a book on mysticism focusing on the divine Word, Sound, Shabd, Logos. To me, Plato is
referring to this in his Ethics/ Cosmology as the World Soul being a musical instrument. I find very
little elaboration on this other than what I have just said above. I would appreciate being pointed to
this where it is delineated in greater detail, in both Plato and other philosophers.

I just know a small detail that I thought would be of help to you. In the Indian Vedas, sometimes
creation is spoken of as a result of sounds, that is all creatures are nothing but the embodiment of
sounds and the whole universe is a symphony.
