can you hear colors?

Well, you open up a new topic of debate with such an assertion. To which I answer most briefly. Every religion/cult/spiritualism relies on symbol and myth to break through to the divine. However, all of them rely on the revelation or ideas of one man, who purports to understand the proper symbols/rituals/acts to break through to the other side. Except for one and only one religion. In that religion, the symbolism and ritual transcends the ideas of one man or one group. Rather, its cultic practices and prophetic utterances are spread out over 2000 years of history. Once those cultic practices and prophecies find their fulfilment in one man, a man who truly lived in history yet also fulfilled all symbolizations of the established 2000 year-old religion, then the religion he founded would, it would seem, to have a certain authority above all others.

Anyone can invent a religion, in the here and now. But only God can insert himself in history in such a way as to leave clues pointing to a time, a season, a place, and a person. And when that person actually comes....

Ponder the difference between a mere archetypal symbol, which is deeply meaningful, yet non-living, versus a symbol prefigured for thousands of years and which comes, suddenly, to light, alive.

I can see and feel sound but it's hard to describe exactly how I perceive it that way. Letters have certain personalities too. When taking multiple choice tests with a seperate answer sheet and add up the number of a/c/e's I got and compare with b/d's and hope a/c/e "won" because they were "good"

I can't hear colors, but certain ones have feelings to me. Like, there's a certain orangey-red that gives me an instant headache and makes me feel nauseous. Or certain dingy yellows (but not mustard yellow) make me feel anxious.

Sounds have textures and colors for me though. I have always loved music because of that. Letters, numbers, months and days all have their own specific colors and places in space too.

Synesthesia's awesome. I had no idea it was anything until a couple of years ago. I thought everyone knew what the colors were for things. I never thought that someone else could have different colors or no colors at all!

Hmm. I apply colours do days, numbers, words, letters, and other colours... Oh, and elements, car models, etc. Sound... Not so much. I really just apply colours to sound- but not to much of an extreme. Deep sounds are brown. High sounds are pink. That's it.

I think I have synesthesia, I can't eat things that are made to look like things like people or animals because they taste like eating them and not the food item, or rather what my brain thinks they would taste. Playing Man in the box (Alice in Chains song) in standard tuning makes a white milk taste in my mouth, I often have weird taste things like that. many numbers have personalities and feelings to the point of wanting to avoid certain ones like 3,4 and 8 for example.

Well if I am on acid or another psychedelic that can happen...once I was tripping and could taste the music I was listening to, it was the Black Metal band Dimmu Borgir and it tasted pretty damn good

Aside from that I hear noise from mostly flouresent lights and t.v's that appear to be off but are on the black screen or muted. Its a high pitched buzzing noise...I assume its an electrical noise of some kind most people simply don't pick up on. I know I have met other people who hear that to.

2, 4, & 8 are such friendly numbers, I can't imagine why they would make you feel sick! Now if you had said 9, then I would begin to believe you.
