Nature Of Sound
In the beginning was the word and god said let there be light. Most in the west are familiar with the christian concept in the beginning was the word god spoke the word and the world into existence. What most don't realize is that for example in ancient egypt they taught the same thing there was pata the god of technology who went into his heart and felt the world and then spoke it into existence. Almost universally ancient texts and traditions have always placed sound at the core of not only our existence but the existence of the entire universe.
It begins with the powerful seed syllable the ancient om which originally was never spoken but it was felt in the body and this is where the relationship between sound and vibration becomes very important because ultimately sound is only a vibration brought into an audible range.
In the hindu tradition the word was with brahman and the word was "Brahman". The very first hebrew letter "alef" which starts the whole process it's also like an out breath.
It's like you know it's a sound the sound is like the expression of the thought from that universal mind or that divine source. The thoughts being expressed out through the sound which then manifests material universe. The pueblo indians talk about the spider how she sang the world into existence
In Aztec mythology the God Quetzalcoatl used a conch shell to create the vibration that formed the first wave of life. The inuits say the raven made the world and the waters
with the beat of his wings. It seems that no matter where we go or what time period there's a belief that sound was fundamental to creation and equally remarkable
our own genesis as human beings may well have started in a similar way.
When embryo becomes less than a millimeter in size right very close to a millimeter but not quite a millimeter the embryo already starts to develop the first aspects of the inner ear
so the very first sense organ that is developed within the embryo is the inner ear. At 16 to 24 weeks that neural development has taken place to a point where all my five senses come online
except my eyes are closed and i'm in the dark and my nose and mouth are filled with fluids so those aren't active but sound travels through water five times better than through air so my total experience when i'm in the wound is hearing and vibration sense.
That sound coming in to the fetus to the embryo is essential for the development of the fetus the mother's voice as well as voices and sounds from the environment outside the language that is spoken by the mother by the father. Those things are being heard by that developing fetus and as they're coming in through its own ears it's wiring its nervous system.
There are three times as many connections from the ears to the brain as there are from the eyes to the brain so the sounds coming in through the ears feed the neurological system the auditory nerve directly connects to every organ in the body it's like we're baptized in sound and vibration in water and we all have our own mini evolution that takes place.
We all have our own big bang in the beginning was the void and all of a sudden there's an explosion of me (or "I"). Those sounds that one continues to hear and learn develop its perceptions it develops personality develops the way the mind thinks based on the language they speak and so forth.
The gnostics believed that it was our soul that manifests our physical body. Our physical body is made in the image of God and its purpose ultimately is a vehicle for the soul as it moves its way through this matrix, Sound is the first sense to develop in the womb and the last sense to go when we die. Many ancient cultures had practices for midwiving birth and death using sound music spoken or sung prayers knowing the importance of these critical thresholds that's very powerful because then that means that hearing and sound must be coming directly from source and that perhaps sound as the first sense is the way that we can most directly connect with Source.
Many traditions around the world use symbols instruments and songs to express their origins in the gnostic tradition existence is represented as a circle with a dot in the center countless lines radiate from the dot the periphery is considered to be the underworld actually our waking life also known as the dream of separation. The lines connecting to the center represent a state closer to who we really are. The center point represents our core existence which we can connect to in deep sleep.
The Aboriginals whose name means essentially in the beginning are the oldest living culture on earth they've been playing the didgeridoo for at least 150 000 years and what they do is they take this route and they hollow it out and they make it into almost like a bugle the tones and the frequencies that come out of it are spaced out in a way that actually encode information.
They say that the sound of the didgeridoo connects us to the dream time where the ancestors reside and where we come from before birth and where we go after we die australian Aborigines speak of song lines or song paths that were sung by their primordial ancestor spirits who walked across the landscape singing its land forms into being. For the Aborigines these songs are ongoing and need to keep being sung. Song lines are vibratory paths that exist in a kind of parallel dimension that the aboriginals used to navigate over vast territories and to gain knowledge. In Tibet and, in a number of the monasteries high in the himalayas they understand the mystical secret of sound in its relationship to creation.
We're talking about words we're talking about spelling and so we're talking about casting spells that's why they call it "spell-ing" and so words have power the ancients really knew this so they chose their words very very carefully words were really hand-picked because they understood the power of words.
There was a time not long ago where humans could say my word is as good as gold and it was as good as a signed contract. The power to create with language comes from absolute coherence alignment and integrity between what we think say and do by the words that we speak we are influencing that field and that manifestation process. There are certain words, certain power words, certain ancient divine words that were often held very secret because of the power they possess.
They were often used in ceremony magical operations and so forth. Even in modern times scholars and inventors such as Mikola Tesla have pondered the many deep and mysterious roles that sound plays in the creation process. Tesla had a quote (and i'm paraphrasing that) "if you want to understand the secrets of the universe that you have to think of it in terms of energy frequency and vibration". He was touching on something really important really fundamental that matter is not a thing there's actually no thing in what we call things matter.
There is actually just energy vibration frequency oscillations. When you look at an atom really really close you don't see little billiard balls the atom is made out of 99.9999999 space and the part that's not space there's a little electromagnetic field that's fluctuating. To think of that as something solid it is incorrect. We can be fooled by what we think we see. A pivotal figure in ancient greece warned of the dangers of believing what we perceive with our eyes. Plato is considered the father of western philosophy and he believed that we don't live in the real world that we live in the shadow of the real world and he conceived an allegory called the cave. In this allegory he described a group of prisoners who were shackled together behind the risoners was a fire and in between the fire and the prisoners were other people who were playing with puppets that were casting shadows on the wall the prisoners all believed that the shadows that they were seeing represented the real world. In his allegory Plato allowed one of the prisoners to escape he went out into the real world and then returned and was actually blinded by the light of the real world. Seeing this the prisoner said "whoa we we want to stay in the shadow world we don't want to be blinded by the light" and this became a a way of describing our relationship to to reality.
Is it possible that our sense of hearing is more dependable than our sense of sight in eastern cultures the ear is considered to be more receptive yin and feminine while the eyes are considered to be more active young and masculine. The current age we live in has placed more emphasis on young or visual information than on information we receive from being receptive and listening.
If we hear two tones that are one hertz apart we can hear the difference as a kind of pulsing binaural beat but if we look at two colors that are one nanometer apart we cannot discern the difference visually. This implies that the ears are more accurate sense perception than the eyes . American british scientist David Baume said: "the world we see is like a holographic image a kind of external tapestry of impressions composed of interference patterns of waves".
What he did was he recognized that patterns tended to show up repeatedly and why would that be why would there be patterns. After pondering that for many years he came up with a beautiful description of the way he viewed the world which involved something that he called the implicat order, but what it means essentially is that there is something there that already exists. It's pre-existing and it needs to be activated so that's where the sound comes in as a creative essence if you take a tuning fork and you hit it up against a crystal you are going to resonate the fork and the crystal and they're both going to be oscillating. In a phase of coherency and incoherency but at some point they're going to come into coherency they're going to be in sympathetic resonance.
There's something implicit in that crystal that will respond to that tuning fork so that's what the implicant order means today people understand that we live in a matrix and they understand that sometimes that matrix is not a very comfortable place and they're looking for ways to go beyond the matrix and what we're discovering is that sound is perhaps the key literally of life
it's the key to opening the door to higher realities it's the key to opening doors within ourselves so intimately we know that the way through the matrix is to raise our vibration. How do we raise our vibration the universe offers many hidden clues. Some of which have to do with sound and mathematics. Spiritual teacher and philosopher George Gurjeev traveled the globe uncovering some of these ancient puzzle pieces. Gurjeev was a russian mystic and composer who devised what he called the law of threes which essentially states that for any phenomena to come into existence. You have to have what he described as a holy affirming a holy denying and then a holy reconciling force and unless all three forces are present a phenomena is not going to manifest. In reality every number in creation is part of a sequence in which a another aspect of divine power becomes expressed into the world so there's a particular power of one power of two and three. Then is the next in the sequence after we go from the unity to the division into polarity. Polarity allows movement to take place it allows attraction and repulsion it allows evolution to take place.
An ordinary or mundane example of the law of three is your car. Your car has three gears it has a forward gear it has a reverse gear and a neutral gear. All three are essential. The third element between the two opposite polarities could simply be neutral between positive and negative. It could also be understood though as the particular union of the positive and negative
like a masculine and feminine to then create a child that's what you would see in something like the egyptian tradition where you would see that the two components would be met on one side as the feminine component.
The second ancient law that Gurjeep references is the law of octaves. This says that all vibrations moving through matter and through man ascend descend grow stronger or weaker precisely as a musical octave develops. Grushap says the whole universe is structured in octaves. This is very accurate because the whole universe is vibrational therefore octaves are a fundamental part a doubling of vibration infinitely. Perhaps basically the structure of the universe the human cell is one such example. If we just look at the cell as that cell becomes fertilized with that seed of life the cell starts to take on a kind of a resonance of frequency. We could say a sound even and then as it starts to multiply itself the one divides through the cell mitosis it becomes two that's that one to two ratio is the same that we could relate to the octave there's a harmonic ratio. Tere we have the one to the two, the two to the four, the four to the eighth, the eight to the sixteen, the sixteen to 32, so it keeps doubling so it's following this harmonic sequence.
You can also see a lot of correlations between the cell division and the Flower Of Life which is a sacred geometry. You have the one and then it divides and it becomes two and you have the two kind of overlapping you have the vesicle pisces and then you have the four and then as you get seven and eight you start to form that seed of life from the center of the flower of life.
The same rules that govern harmony and sound and music are the same rules that apply to sacred geometry and what becomes beautiful and harmonic and life enhancing within the geometric forms.
We've got seven notes and an octave "do-re-mi-fa-so" lossy and when you look at the mathematics you see certain things show up there that we see reflected in how the universe is constructed. For instance when you look at a piano and you see there's two black keys and three black keys and two black keys and three black keys and there's two white keys with a missing black key. That is why aren't there black keys in between each one that's what Gudrijev called the mifa bridge. "do-re-me" fall "me" and "fa" is a half step instead of a full step.
Full step, full step, full step, half step, full step, full step, full step, at the octave half step, two links where we have half steps. It's why there's no straight lines of nature when the branch is growing it's going through his dough ray meat the the seed is splitting open dough.
A little shoot comes up pushes through the soil that's rey then a stalk source of foam that's me it can't bridge the me fog gap and so it just starts another doll and that's why when it gets up to this point it forks and each of those forks forks and these are those forks forks and that forms a fractal pattern.
Gergieff's mifa bridge could be compared to what ancient greek philosopher Pythagoras. Referred to as the diatonic comma in egyptian times they understood that there was a particular gap between the archetypal blueprint for creation that exists on a higher plane level and it's actually manifesting down through multiple planes until it crystallizes that pattern into a physical structure. There's often at least a slight incongruence between the perfect ideal form and how it manifests on the physical plane. The idea Pythagorean comma was then used to illustrate the idea that everything to manifest in the physical world is just a little bit off its actual perfect archetype. In the Egyptian tradition it was understood that that slight imperfection is what made it completely unique and beautiful and that if things were 100 the pattern of the true ideal higher archetype it may simply disappear from physical creation.
Like in the creation of a pearl or in the seeding of a crystal these slight imperfections allow the formation of fractals a pattern you see again and again throughout the universe in the 1970s mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot was working with the newly developing personal computers and especially working with graphics they started plugging equations into the computer and out pop these graphics that are called fractals. What they noticed is that no matter how many times they repeated this equation that the fractal was a mirror image at every level of magnification. What's interesting about this is that if they wanted to change any aspect of the fractal they had to go back to the original equation and change it. Now when they were working with the Mandelbrot set they noticed that the mandelbrot set resembled a meditating buddha so they went back in and changed the equation and came up with what they call
the "buddha brah". Now this is really extraordinary because it tells us that if we're made in the image of god that perhaps we are fractals of our creator and this aligns perfectly with buddhism and the fact that we're all trying to return to our original and divine nature.
Author and scientist Michael Hayes said that "the resonance between biology and cosmology shows that life is music complete with overtones". What is strikingly present in the helical structure of life itself DNA. Haze called this finding the hermetic code. Hermes is the greek name for the egyptian god Thoth. He's the god of magic and alchemy and also is connected with the concept of passing through portals and gateways.
When the greeks talked about hermes they were referring to this ultimate ancient knowledge which is called the emerald tablet. Most famous in the emerald tablet is the second verse that says: "as above so below". What it means is that everything is in correspondence that what happens on earth has a counterpart in the heavenly realms. Iin the bible this is part of the lord's
prayer. On earth as it is in heaven that's a hermetic expression of an expression of his law of correspondences and essentially it says that you and I, are a fractal of all of creation. We're essentially a printout of the cosmos.
That what happens within us also happens in the greater cosmos and vice versa. Tthe Jewish kabbalistic tree offers a similar message. The kabbalistic tree is typically described not just as one tree but a set of four trees that are tied at the root. In the kabbalistic tradition it was described as a mirroring. Aas above so below type of relationship between these four trees that were tied to the same sephirot at the center. What we found was that the center of each one of those trees at the root that connected them was this first analytical solution to
gravity so that gravity is the hub, is the force that holds all of the knowledge together.
Right all of the information together without gravity nothing would coalesce, nothing would become one thing it would all fly apart.
As above so below - has this aspect that all of the higher aspects of creation are mirrored into the physical world in which we live. Once we understand that core pattern through the use of sacred geometry then we can see how both of these are going to be connected and how our actions on the physical world can connect to and affect the higher worlds and how the higher worlds create and sustain and affect us here on this level.
Another way to look at it is that a drop of water contains the ocean and the ocean contains a drop of water. Everything in the universe is entangled. The information of all the protons in the universe is present in one proton because they are all entangled to each other. We know in laboratory that two particles can be entangled in such a way that even if the other one is on the other side of the universe if you modify this one if you tickle this one the other one will laugh, It's instantaneous cause and effect.

Is one of the many principles of the universe is sound the cause of creation or is it the effect of creation. Iif you want to look at it from the quantum physics idea - is sound a particle or a wave. Well the answer is: of course it is it is both. It is causal, it is effectual and it affects us as well. Acient cultures use the metaphor that the universe is actually a cosmic symphony singing a song to the creator. Ancient wisdom aligns with modern science. This concept is supported by quantum theory which also proposes that the cosmos is a kind of symphony of vibrations. Many ancient cultures believed that our unique role was to play our particular note as perfectly as possible to make the creation complete.
This translates as - be who you are.
