-
- 1.1 - Mind
is deemed a force. Undifferentiated Universal Mind is the One
Force from which all other forces
are derived. This premise is born out in the writings of many
great thinkers and inspired texts.
-
-
"All force is Mind force." Keely
- From Edgar Cayce:
-
- "In the manifestation of all power, force, motion, vibration,
that which impels, that which detracts, is in its essence of one force,
one source, in its elemental form. As to what has been done or
accomplished by or through the activity of entities that have been
delegated powers in activity, is another story.
-
- "As
to the one source or one force, then, are the questions
presented in the present.
-
- "God, the first cause, the
first principle, the first movement, IS! That's the beginning!
That is, that was, that ever will be!
-
- "The following of those
sources, forces, activities that are in accord with the
Creative Force or first cause - its laws, then - is to be one
with the source, or equal with yet separate from that first
cause.
-
- "When, then, may man - as
an element, an entity, a separate being manifested in material
life and form - be aware or conscious of the moving of that
first cause within his environ?
-
- "Or, taking man in his
present position or consciousness, how or when may he be aware
of that first cause moving within his realm of consciousness?
-
- "In the beginning there
was the force of attraction and the force that repelled. Hence,
in man's consciousness he becomes aware of what is known as the
atomic or cellular form of movement about which there becomes
nebulous activity. And this is the lowest form (as man would
designate) that's in active forces in his experience. Yet this
very movement that separates the forces in atomic influence is
the first cause, or the manifestation of that called God in the
material plane!
-
- "Then, as it gathers of
positive-negative forces in their activity, whether it be of
one element or realm or another, it becomes magnified in its
force or sources through the universe.
-
- "Hence we find worlds,
suns, stars, nebulae, and whole solar systems, moving from a
first cause.
-
- "When this first cause
comes into man's experience in the present realm he becomes
confused, in that he appears to have an influence upon this
force or power in directing same. Certainly! Much, though, in
the manner as the reflection of light in a mirror. For, it is
only reflected force that man may have upon those forces that
show themselves in the activities, in whatever realm into which
man may be delving in the moment - whether of the nebulae, the
gaseous, or the elements that have gathered together in their
activity throughout that man has chosen to call time or space.
And becomes, in its very movement, of that of which the first
cause takes thought in a finite existence or
consciousness.
-
- "Hence, as man himself
applies himself - or uses that of which he becomes conscious in
the realm of activity, and gives or places the credit (as would
be called) in man's consciousness in the correct sphere or
realm he becomes conscious of that union of force with the
infinite with the finite force.
-
- "Hence, in the fruits of
that - as is given oft, as the fruits of the spirit - does man
become aware of the infinite penetrating, or interpenetrating
the activities of all forces of matter, or that which is a
manifestation of the realm of the infinite into finite - and
the finite becomes conscious of same. [please see Spirit;
Spirit Force; in the Glossary section]
-
- "As to the application of
these as truths, then:
-
- "It may be said that, as
the man makes in self - through the ability given for man in
his activity in a material plane - the will - one with the laws
of creative influence, we begin with:
-
- "Like begets like - As he
sows, so shall he reap - As the "man thinketh in the heart, so
is he."
-
- "These are all but trite
sayings to most of us, even to the thinking man; but should the
mind of an individual (the finite mind) turn within his own
being for the law pertaining to these trite sayings, until the
understanding arises, then there is the consciousness in the
finite of the infinite moving upon and in the inner self.
-
- "So does life in all its
force begin in the earth. The moving of the infinite upon the
negative force of the finite in the material, or to become a
manifested force." Cayce (262-52)
-
- What is being meant about illusions
(unreal thoughts or misperceptions or misbeliefs) is the "thing"
or "pain" is only of the subjective mind and not an objective
reality. It may be a powerful revelation to learn objective
reality is a RESULT of our subjective existence (inner thinking)
and not the other way around. Sometimes talking through past
experiences will allow the original problem causing thought
pattern to change - sometimes it won't. Hence we see some postive
results from AA, psychotherapy, hypnosis, NLP, religious
conversions, etc.
-
- "The sympathetic
conditions that we call mind are no more immaterial in their
character than light or electricity. The substance of the brain
is molecular, while the substance of the mind that permeates
the brain is interetheric and is the element by which the brain
is impregnated, exciting it into action and controlling
physical motion."
- [Keely, Snell
Manuscript]
-
- Below (Addendum 6) is a quote from Bloomfield-Moore's
book, Keely
and His Discoveries, which covers
this very subject. Keely regarded the brain "as strings on a
violin" which can develop "knots" which impede the flow of sympathetic etheric transmission (Love (superconducting) flow or Mind
Flow).
'Keely,
writing on brain disturbance, says, "In considering the mental forces
as associated with the physical, I find, by my past researches, that
the convolutions which exist in the cerebral field are entirely
governed by the sympathetic conditions that surround them.
The question arises, what are these aggregations and what do they
represent, as being linked with physical impulses? They are simply
vibrometric resonators, thoroughly subservient to sympathetic acoustic
impulses given to them by their atomic sympathetic surrounding media,
all the sympathetic impulses that so entirely govern the physical in
their many and perfect impulses (we are now discussing purity of
conditions) are not emanations properly inherent in their own
composition. They are only media - the acoustic media - for
transferring from their vibratory surroundings the conditions necessary
to the pure connective link for vitalizing and bringing into action the
varied impulses of the physical."' [Keely and His Discoveries]

- 1.3 - Fractal
Structure of Matter - To picture the structure, dynamics and
formative forces making up the perceptible physical universe we can begin with Matter
and work upwards from that low frequency domain to the higher one
of Mind,
using general terms which can be refined as we go along. We will see
there is no hard or solid matter - there is only energy in various
degrees and types of motion. See Figure 1. (Many words are defined or referenced to definitions and
useage in the Word and Term Glossary linked
to this paper.) However what vibration
is is somewhat different than conventionally thought.
-
- 1.4 - Structure of
Matter - it is generally held that:
- 1. Matter
is made of molecules.
- 2. Molecules are made of
atoms.
- 3. Atoms are made of leptons, fermions,
etc.
- 4. Leptons, fermions are made of
photons.
- 5. Photons are made of quarks
(of 6 types only).
-
-

- Subdivisions of Matter and Energy
-
(click

chart)
-
- Figure 1.1 illustrates how the
universe is constructed of imbedded or nested layers of physical
structure and dynamics. Molecules are made of atoms, atoms are made of leptons, etc. These
are not dimensions existing independent of each other but are
intermingled together interpenetrating each other. The lower
frequency dimensions or realms of existence are predicated on or effectuated by
the higher frequency realms, dimensions, planes or levels. The finer levels
are the building blocks of the lower realms. In other words there
can be no molecules without atoms; no atoms without electrons; no
electrons without photons; no photons without quarks, etc. The
structure of these nested realms are held (Keely) to be indentical on all
levels much like the imbeddedness of fractal math and
images.
| The two great divisions: “The
physical organism (through the medium of celestial radiation) is a
trinity, both in regard to its visible form and the invisible
sympathetic streams which govern it, in its individual and combined
movements. The visible includes the molecular, the atomic and
inter-atomic in combination; while the invisible, or spiritual,
includes the etheric, interetheric and luminous in combination, each of
which is essential to the proper completion of the combined action,
comprising as it does every minute law governing the celestial and
terrestrial universe." Keely (Newton of the Mind) |
-
-
- What are quarks
made of? I think Hawkings said "muons". Keely maintained this nested
triplet structuring proceeds to many levels - eight of which he could
directly measure - beyond that he could not measure but only imagine in
awe:
"What does this activity represent, by
which luminosity is induced in the high etheric realm? Does not the
force following permeation by the Divine Will show that even this order
of ether, this luminiferous region, is bounded by a greater region
still beyond?-that it is but the shore which borders the realm, from
which the radiating forces of the Infinite emanate: the luminiferous
being the intermediate which transfers the will force of the Almighty
towards the neutral centres of all created things, animate and
inanimate, visible and invisible; even down into the very depths of all
molecular masses. The activity of the corpuscles, in all aggregations,
represents the outflow of this celestial force, from the luminiferous
track, towards all these molecular centres of neutrality, and reveals
to us the connecting link between mind and matter. How plainly are we
thus taught that God is everywhere, and at the same time in every
place. It gives us a new sense of the omniscience and omnipresence of
the Creator. In these researches I am brought so near to the celestial
conditions that my pen it ready to fall from my hand while writing on
this subject; so more and more sensibly do I feel my abject ignorance
of its depths. . . ." [Keely, Keely and His Discoveries, Chapter XVII, Part I - 1891, Keely's Theories]
-
- 1.5 - Nothing from
Nothing - But however you look at it quarks are made of
SOMETHING because you can't get something from "nothing". Then
again nothing really exists but motion and even motion is an
illusion.... There is however "latency" or "potential" which bears a strong nonobservable resemblance to "nothing" or "no (physical) thing".
-
- 1.6 - Ultimate
Constituents of Matter - Keely said the ultimate
constituents of all matter are what he called "atomolini".
Which he said is the same thing as the "luminiferous
ether" of the ancients and may be
the same as Russell's alphanon
and includes the twenty-five forms of proto-matter shown in Russell's
charts of the elements preceeding Hydrogen. (See The
Universal One.) The etheric realm is like an Elastic
Continuum sometimes called space
and having many properties. (See the Russian text on the physics of vacuum,
Something from Nothing.) This initial realm of
Undifferentiated Energy then is composed of One
Substance. These fine particles are
sensitive to thought or mind therefore are sympathetic
with mind;
i.e., of similar frequency, vibration or "resonant" to thought. Regardless of label let us admit there is a
fundamental particle making up the initial phase or stage of what
will eventually become a piece of matter as delineated above. If
we use Keely's
morphology of matter and energy
each of the categories above are made of three only constituent
subdivisions. Notice the omnipresence of threes. Threeness is
essential to this paradigm.
There
are three fundamental states of force or energy. There is the centropic
(negentropic) attractive or assimilative to a center. There is the
entropic repulsive or dispersive and there is the neutral state having
both of these polar conditions yet manifesting neither, predominately.
There will be more on this later.
-
- "God moved, the spirit
came into activity. In the moving it brought light, and then
chaos. In this light came creation of that which in the earth
came to be matter; in the spheres about the earth, space and
time; and in patience it has evolved through those activities
until there are the heavens and all constellations, the stars,
the universe." Cayce (3508-1)

-
- 1.7 - A Whole and Its
Parts - We are talking about passive consciousness (thought)
expressing itself through active thinking. Russell gives some
clarity on this by using a metaphor of ocean and ocean waves in "The
Message of the Divine Iliad". The
ocean is whole, undivided. It is One thing and one substance from
end to end. Yet it's surface may break up into seemingly discrete
wave entities. The waves are not separate from the ocean but are
individual expressions of that One ocean. Waves are seeming
motion. The wave motions move horizontally but the water in fact does not. We
perceive the waves and assign them an importance they do not
really have - individuality because the unwakened human egoic mind primarily
focuses on things that move (effects) hence the egoic mind constantly deceives itself. Waves (vibrations) are
perceived effects of unperceived causes. Cause can only be perceived by MIND, not by sense. Atlin, you or me are the same
in regards to the One Cosmic Consciousness
permeating everything everywhere. We are nothing more than
expressions of that One Mind.
We assign discrete acknowledgement of our individualities to these
seeming separated expressions. When in fact they are nothing more
than seeming singular expressions of a One Whole Mind
undivided. Atlin, you or me are expressions of an Undivided One
Mind that we assign a value of individuality. This assignment is
our interpretation of what we think we see. We are as the waves of
the undivided ocean of Mind
(consciousness). Russell goes on to say there is only One Mind
endlessly expressing itself. There are not multitudes of
individual minds. There is only One God
(Consciousness)
manifesting everywhere simultaneously - in Atlin, you, me,
everyone and every thing else.
-
-
-
-
-
- This expression of the mind of God has been labeled many names including: "God said...", The Word, Love, Being, etc.
-
- "In the beginning was The
Word."
- Book of
John

-
Figure 1.5 - From One (on left) comes all diversity.
-
-
- How does immaterial mind then become the material
universe? Russell gives a broad explanation. Russell says that
every atom of materiality is a "recording" or "casting" into form
the Light
(Mind)
of the Creator. This recording or casting process or fixing into
form takes place through "electrical" action. (Electrical here
means two unbalanced poles rhythmically interchanging with and
through each other (waves of motion or vibration). This electrical state is self or mutual assimilative.) These waves
form standing
waves or oscillatory
motion about a neutral
center
which structure we then (mis)perceive as solid matter much as we
misperceive spokes of a spinning bicycle wheel appear as solid. Keely
and Russell held that neutral points or assimilative centers are
infinite in number and extension (Keely) and atoms may form (and
deform) around one or any of them anywhere at anytime. Atoms are an
effect (recording or casting) of that electrical thinking but are not
the thinking itself. Much like a wave is not the ocean but a manner of
the ocean's expressionings of its being. Another way to see this is
heat from a fire is not the fire but an effect of the fire, the heat's
cause. Vibrations therefore are effects. We may know the
vibratory and oscillatory composition of the universe by its numbers or rates of
vibration acting through our physical senses or instruments. Our five senses
function like narrow band-pass filters allowing narrow ranges of
vibration to be perceived. Therefore our awareness of our
surroundings is a merging or compounding of the five narrow ranges
of vibratory phenomena perceived through these five senses. It is
a given we are NOT aware of the vast ranges of vibratory phenomena
OUTSIDE of those five narrow bands. Figure 1.3 lists some of the
frequencies and their modes we interpret as sensual
manifestations.
-
- "All force, all matter, is
motivative by force known as spiritual.
-
- While the body is made up
of elements that are atomic, super atomic, gas, influences that
combine, all give off their radiation, both as to the mental
reaction and what the body-mind does about that reaction of
that phase or manifestation in which the entity is conscious at
such a period. And it is recorded upon that known or
experienced by the conscious mind as time and space. And it may
be read even as the records of a printed page. Hence that which
has been the thought, the activity of the entity throughout its
experience in matter, in gaseous forces, in the atomic
influences, is part and parcel of the entity's being. Thus we
are, then, the sum, the substance, of that we do, we have, or
may think and do. For each entity has that imprint of the
Creative Energies or Force that makes of it an influence that
is seen, known, felt, throughout the universe." Cayce
(833-1)

Figure 1.6 - Electromagnetic Spectrum
-
(the numbers and
placements of octaves is general)
-
- 1.8 - Vibratory
Universe - Figure 1.6
shows how the universe may be viewed as vibration or frequency. The
lower realms of matter, molecules and atoms, are at the top of the
chart with higher and higher frequency ranges towards the bottom. Man
perceives vibrations and oscillations through his senses. These senses
act like narrow band-pass filters. Each filter is sensitive to a narrow
range of frequencies. Touch is the lowest from 1-32 vibrations per
second while hearing is from the 5th through the 13th octave, generally
speaking. Visible light occupies only a single octave of vibration from
the many octaves. Seeing can not encompass all there is. Hearing on the
other hand encompasses a much wider range of vibration and their
attendent phenomena or manifestations. The unseen, unperceived or
occulted universe is a far greater place than simple human senses can
be aware of. Some are sensitive to a broader range of frequencies and
we call this ability the "sixth sense" or psychic ability in its varied
forms.
-
- High frequency vibrations centralize about
centers of focalization. That is their nature - to densify into
ever more compact structures. These centers are for our purposes
neutral of polarity (depolar). Being neutral they are resonant one to
another or sympathetic with each other, vibratorily speaking. What happens
to one is experienced by them all (Is not this the definition of Love?). They are One Substance, like
our ocean, having independent existence yet co-reactive to all
others.
-
- We could liken the energetic and material
universe as God's holodeck (ala Star Trek). Anything God (I AM)
thinks electrically into being will manifest as form and structure
through these sympathetic linked neutral centers. Since everything
that exists is already a manifestation of God's electrical
thinking we are in the holodeck of His created thinking. We exist
in a world matrix of effects arising from an unseen (except by a few)
Cause.
-
- The reality of Atlin, you or me is we are
not our physical bodies. We are individuated expressions of consciousness - operating through a physical body - of
the One Undivided Consciousness. The Dialogue
on Awakening puts it this
way:
-
- "What is it like to be
enlightened or awake? It is when you see only God as cause and
effect being you expressing Him wholly."
-
- As we awaken(become more aware) the process unfolds as
we perceive the reality of cause while releasing the unreality of
effect. In the end (and beginning) there is only the One Mind, the
I AM, being causitive (Creator) of everything perceived. Just HOW
this is so is the purpose of this dissertation.
-
- 1.9 - Cultivating
Stillness
-
- I've not read any Taoist materials so when
I saw the title I was attracted to the idea of quietness which I
practice continually anyway. A little surprise awaited me as I
read the introduction. The ancients were correct even more than
I'd figured. The origins of this text go back centuries, as far
back if not more so, than our Western religious and metaphysical
roots. While I was surprised to see the following description of
the Origin of Things it was not totally unexpected either. The
second surprise was to see how clearly these old ones understood
things and how perfectly matched their description is with that of
Keely and Russell. Contemplate the following quote from the
text:
-
- 1.10 - The Origin of Things
-
- 'The Taoist origin of the universe and
life is expounded by Chu-hsi of the Sung Dynasty (960-1279 C.E.),
who combined the Confucianist and taoist theories of the origin of
things. He revised Chou Tuan-i's treatise T'ai-chi T'ao
Shuo and wrote, "From wu-chi comes t'ai-chi. When t'ai-chi
moves, it creates yang. When movement reaches its extreme,
stillness emerges. In stillness, yin is born. Thus, movement and
stillness follow each other. Yin and yang, stillness and movement
form the force of creation. From yang and yin are created the
elements water, fire, wood, metal and earth. The Five Vapors
mutually enrich each other and generate the four seasons. The five
elements originate from yin and yang. Yin and yang originate from
t'ai-chi and t'ai-chi originates from wu-chi. From the properties
of the five elements and the essence of wu-chi emerges generative
energy. From the Way of Heaven (ch'ien), male is born. Following
the Way of Earth (K'un), female is born. The union of ch'ien and
k'un gives rise to the ten thousand myriad things. The ten
thousand myriad things procreate and contribute to many forms of
existence whose origin is wu-chi." This is the description of the
origin of things.' From Cultivating Stillness - The Taoist
Manual for Transforming Body and Mind, by Eva Wong, 1992;
Shambhala
Publications, ISBN
0-87773-687-I
-
- The above quote is extremely interesting.
It is for all practical purposes the same theory being expressed
in our SVP Universal Cosmology web pages represented in the
SVP Matter & Energy Chart et al. The
jargon is different. Here are some translations of
terms:
-
- wu-chi = Void, Neutral, Origin,
Tao, Source
- t'ai-chi = Word, Cosmic/Christ
Consciousness
- Tao = Oneness, Divinity
- Way of Heaven =
Celestial
- Way of Earth =
Terrestrial
- chi'en = male
- k'un = female
- Five Vapors = Five
Ethers
- yang = expressive motion, movement,
(day)
- yin = peace, quiet, nonmotion,
(night)
- water, fire, wood, metal and earth
= material universe
- Four Seasons = Angular Inclinations
of Refraction (Spectral Differentiation), Rainbow, Octaves of
Density
-
- Lets substitute words and see what we
have:
-
- "From [The Void, Whole Mind] comes
[The Word, Divided Mind]. When [The Word] moves,
it creates [expressive motion]. When movement reaches its
extreme, stillness emerges. In stillness, [peace, quiet]
is born. Thus, movement (day) and stillness (night) follow each
other. [nonmotion] and [motion], stillness (night)
and movement (day) form the force of creation. From
[motion] and [nonmotion] are created the elements
[of the material universe]. The Five [Ethers]
mutually enrich each other and generate the [Octaves of
Density]. The [material universe] originate from
[nonmotion] and [motion]. [nonmotion] and
[motion] originate from [The Word] and [The
Word] originates from [The Void]. From the properties
of the [material universe] and the (potential) essence of
[The Void] emerges generative energy. From the
[Celestial], male is born. Following the
[Terrestrial], female is born. The union of [male]
and [female] gives rise to the ten thousand myriad things.
The ten thousand myriad things procreate and contribute to many
forms of existence whose origin is [The Void]." This is
the description of the origin of things.
-
- The
text goes on to describe the (alchemical) process of reconnecting the
material to the spiritual, which process happens to be a definition of
the term "religion"; to re-connect or re-member or re-awaken. If
Undifferentiated Mind differentiates (splits, refracts) into egoic mind
then "awakening" is the differentiated, split or refracted egoic mind
becoming whole (undifferentiated) again. Differentiated Mind is
anti-sympathetic (passive resistant) to the One Whole Mind while the
One Whole Mind is, among its seeming individuated parts, wholly
sympathetic or "as one"; i.e., Love.
-
- Sounds like Genesis, no? Also sounds like
Russell and many others. The Story of the Origin of the Universe
may not have originated with Genesis nor the development of
principles as outlined in SVP by Keely nor the philosophical
underpinings of Russell. Universal Knowledge has always been and
always will be. The writers of Genesis (whoever they were), Keely and Russell,
separated by thousands of years, tapped into The Whole Mind (God)
just as you or I may and are doing via our connections through
Cosmic Consciousness. No one can claim exclusive rights of
discovery or divine priviledge subsequent thereto because it is what we ALL ARE - Mind Consciousness.
-
- The above describes some of the energy sets and
dynamics of the Musical Dynasphere.
-
- These
pages attempt to relay the above conception, as also its near twin
found in Genesis, in scientific terms; i.e., the process of creation
and evolution of matter from so-called Spirit. Evolution is a ceaseless
creative and progressive process. These natural and foundational laws,
principles and concepts, without religious interpretations, are the
foundation of Keely and Russell's work - object of SVP.
-
-
- 1.11 - Matter Evolves
from Mind - Let us assume these "atomolini" or alphanon really are the basic building-block of matter (for this
conversation anyway). If this is so how do they come into being?
Out of the "nothingness" of free or open space? Out of Mind
itself? There is a building up of vibration and oscillatory wave lengths beginning
from the One Fundamental sound or interchange. These are created
and manifest as evolutionary progressions as are seen in the arithmetical development of musical
scales.
"The substance of Mind is the foundation of creation." [Russell, The Universal One]

The Theory of a Musical
Universe1
-
- "The universe consists solely of waves of
motion." relates Walter Russell in chapter 31 of A
New Concept of the Universe.
Another way of saying this is: "There exists nothing other than
vibration/oscillation." In Russell's statement lies the base for his next
blast at orthodoxy's belief in a billiard-ball-like material universe: "Any theory
which cannot find a fitting place within the wave has no other
place for it in Nature." Hard words for sure but can they
stand up to scrutiny? Is it possible to create a paradigm of
nature that is structured entirely on wave or vibration theory?
Investigating the pioneer work of John W. Keely's Sympathetic
Vibratory Physics would lead us to believe this is so.
-
- 1.14 - Definitions of Vibration: (See Part 9 for finer discussion on the nature of vibration and oscillation.)
-
- "Vibration is the
rhythmical motion of a body within itself." Keely
-
- "All force is
vibration..." Cayce (900-422) "So is matter." Cayce
(1861-16)
-
- "All comes from one
central vibration--taking different form." Cayce
(900-422)
-
- "Everything is vibratory." Cayce (195-54)
-
- "Vibration is movement.
Movement is activity of a positive and negative force." Cayce
(281-29)
-
- "Electricity or vibration
is that same energy, same power, ye call God." Cayce
(2828-4)
-
-
- Logically speaking for such a paradigm to
exist it would be couched entirely in vibration terms and concepts
and would evolve from the simple to the complex addressing atomic
phenomena all the way through human activity. This author believes
this can be done as we are so doing. Inasmuch as a premise voiced ought to be
demonstrated it will herein be shown how all vibration is
intimately connected to all other vibration thereby demonstrating
1) the interconnectedness of all things and energies; 2) all
things are themselves built up from simple vibration to
complex chords using universal principles of vibration alone; 3)
there is no such thing as chaos in the universe; 4) all things
exist by virtue of harmony among the vibrations that make it what
it is; and 5) all things are intimately connected by sympathetic
vibration.
-
- Some of the information presented here was
first published in 1991 (but written earlier) and again in the author's book in 1994,
Universal
Laws Never Before Reveal: Keely's
Secrets. This material
represents the beginning of the science side of the "science and
philosophy" equation. The universe vibrates from end to end as does
everything in it. Therefore if we are to investigate and
understand this awesome spectacle we are obliged to investigate
the nature of vibration.
-
- If the universe were chaos there would be
no harmony but only degrees of chaos. All sound and vibration
would be just plain noise. Noise, therefore is unorganized
vibration. But none can doubt there is order recognizable
throughout nature from the uniformity of atomic structures and
behaviors to spiral galaxies whose swirling arms of orderly stars
span light years and billions of years of activity. This innate
order inherent in vibratory/oscillatory phenomena has been long recognized, researched and categorized and may
be found in music theory. In vibratory terms disorderly vibration
can be organized in terms of music principles. Therefore music is
organized vibration or sound set in orderly principles of
structure and behavior. The principles that make sound into
harmonious music are the same principles that govern all
associating vibrations throughout the universe - and that includes
everything that there is. It will be shown how any given vibration
gives rise to a complex yet simple series of subordinate
vibrations known generally as harmonics or overtones and these harmonics are
arithmetically relative to one another as are musical intervals.
-
- It is generally recognized that everything
is a result of vibration and each thing has its own chord of
vibration or vibration signature. This state of vibratory
condition is characterized in John Keely's Law of Corporeal
Vibrations:
-
- "All coherent aggregates
when isolated from like bodies, or when immersed or confined in
media composed of matter in a different state, vibrate at a
given ascertainable pitch."
- [John Keely]
-
- It is a well known and accepted fact that
any vibration as in a sound tone will give rise to its octave
harmonics. These are the harmonics generally acknowledged by
science as multiples of 2, which multiplication derives
superharmonics, and divisions by 2 derive subharmonics. These
types of harmonic products or results of 2 are called octave
harmonics. What is not so generally acknowledged but
nevertheless just as true is a tone will give rise to harmonics
not divisible 2 but divisible by other numbers such as 3, 5, 7,
etc. These other harmonics are developed from and within the
octave harmonic series first mentioned, by the octave harmonics
interacting arithmetically with and among themselves and with the
fundamental. These spontaneously and naturally occurring tones
will add and subtract from each other in a perfectly orderly
manner giving rise to summation and difference tones sometimes
referred to as secondary, tertiary or higher harmonics. When these
summation tones are very powerful they are referred to as beat
tones or beat frequencies and are considered inharmonic. These
arithmetically derived harmonics are characterized in Keely's
Law of Cycles:
-
- "Coherent aggregates
harmonically united constitute centers of vibration bearing
relation to the fundamental pitch not multiples of the harmonic
pitch, and the production of secondary unions between
themselves generate pitches that are discords, either in their
unisons, or overtones with the original pitch; from harmony is
generated discord, the inevitable cause of perpetual
transformation."
- [John Keely]
-
- Vibrations are harmonious to one another
when their aliquot parts (factors and/or products) are the same.
When these harmonics form unisons or direct harmonic relations the
two vibrating aggregates and their chords of vibration are said to
be sympathetic to each other. This unison of frequency (sympathy) dictates
that what happens to one vibratorily happens to the other
simultaneously. In this case the vibrations of each aggregate or
chord and the vibrations active between each are forming unisons
or coincident harmonics and are therefore called sympathetic
vibrations or sympathetic oscillations. Vibrations are considered inharmonic when their
aliquot parts or factors are not similar. Most vibrations will
have similar factors and/or products and a few dissimilar factors
and/or products thereby giving rise to varying degrees of harmony
or dissonance whichever the case may be.
-
- In Figure 1.6 we can see how this process
works. Any harmonic series or scale has a base frequency from
which all its harmonics are derived. This base tone is called its
fundamental or key note. In the chart a subharmonic of the musical
note "C" is used as the fundamental or foundation upon which are
self-generated a series of harmonics. This note has a frequency or
rate of vibration of 256 cycles per second (cps) or a suboctave
harmonic of middle "C". The smaller squares contain a number
representing the relative amplitude or power of this note compared
to the other notes soon to be introduced. As a natural process of
creative and evolutionary force this fundamental tone will vibrate and this
vibration will divide itself into its own superharmonic of 512 cps
(2 X 256) which will in turn divide ad infinitum according to
natural law. Concurrently the number will also resonate and be
sympathetic with subharmonics of 128, 64, etc. This process of
dividing into smaller and smaller wavelengths is creative and
evolutionary and according to Keely's Law of Harmonic
Vibrations:
-
- "All coherent aggregates
are perpetually vibrating at a period-frequency corresponding
to some harmonic ratio of the fundamental pitch of the
vibrating body; this pitch is a multiple of the pitch of the
atomole [a subatomic unit]."
- [John Keely]
-
- This new frequency of vibration is the
octave harmonic of the fundamental (2 X 1) and is shown placed in
the 2nd octave row directly above the first "C1" vibrating on the
1st octave row. The same process continues to unfold for virtually
uncountable octaves creating higher and higher frequencies in ever
more rising octaves. We will refer to this second "C" as "C2" and
so forth for each octave. So far so good, we have a harmonic
series born from the lone "C" stretching nearly into infinity both above
the progenitor as superharmonics and below it as subharmonics. So
in the beginning there was One.... C1 is the creator of C2 which
is the created and so forth. This family of "Cs" are all related
by number and this relationship of number can be discovered by
factoring and multiplying.
-
- 256 factors into:
- 1X2X2X2X2X2X2X2X2. With this it can be
seen the "C" family "gene" (factors) is constructed of a 1 and
eight 2s or reduced to simply 1 and 2.
-
- The number 1 will be seen to be shared by
all other numbers since all numbers contain 1. One is the ultimate
Progenitor having its essence in every thing that was created from
it. Therefore One permeates all vibrations equally everywhere and
is sympathetic to them all equally because 1:1 is unison, pure harmony (the superconductive state).
-
- Vibrations are dynamic things not unlike
living things. They are creative and evolutionary simultaneously.
They are active and prolific in their dynamics as are their
harmonic offspring. These discrete tones of the harmonics interact
with each other as they intermingle. Being primarily number
oriented they will, in a very natural way mix, merge and divide
among themselves just like living cells as detailed in the Law of
Cycles already mentioned, the Fibonacci series or Golden Mean and
according to Keely's Law of Harmonic Pitch:
-
- "Any aggregate in a state
of vibration develops in addition to its fundamental pitch a
series of vibration in symmetrical sub-multiple portions of
itself, bearing ratios of one, two, three, or more times its
fundamental pitch."
- [John Keely]
-
- C1 will add its numerical value to C2 and
create a third number: 768 cps, which in terms of "Cness" means
little. But in relative terms it can be seen the 768 is 3 times
the original C1 of 256 cps while 512 cps is 2 times the Creator
pitch. These terms of degrees of relativity are then 3 is to 2 as
768 is to 512 . The 3:2 (768:512 reduced to their least common
denominators) ratio is a musical ratio of a Perfect Fifth. In this
first ratio of spontaneously created harmonics we can see how a
base tone gives rise to a naturally occuring harmonic that is
identical to two musical notes representing a perfect musical
interval of a Perfect Fifth.
-
- 768 factors into:
- 1X2X2X2X2X2X2X2X2X3. The "G" family "gene"
is contructed of a 1, eight 2s and a 3. Reduced down we see a
Fibonacci connection to the "C" family being 1 + 2 = 3 thus
deriving all three "genes" or originating substance of the family.
The Fibonnacci series was developed as a result of analysis of the
reproduction rate of rabbits or as living things. And in
these musical notes we see the same genre of self-replicating
activity playing throughout the universe.
-
- The next harmonic to be born of the
intermingling of the lower tones is the rate of 1280 resulting
from the additive summation of 512 cps to 768 cps. As an
additional impetus to life 1280 is also given more life force by
adding in the energy of the 1st harmonic of G being 1536 - C1 =
1280. This naturally derived rate of vibration is equivalent to
the musical note "E". E is a musical Major Third above the
patriarchal family of C and a Minor Third below the matriarchal
family of G.
-
- Interestingly
these three first notes derived from a fundamental form the Great
Triadic Chord of C, E & G long considered as the most harmonious of
all chords. This chord is formed of musical Minor and Major thirds
combining to form a Perfect Fifth. This author believes this natural
process is revealed allegorically in the first few chapters of Genesis
demonstrating the seven intervals of creation resulting from Divine
Voice (sound) and Light then evolutionary steps forming the material
existence of Adam (C) and Eve (G), i.e., man and woman. In other words,
Genesis is an ancient and enlightened scribe's attempt at detailing and
conveying what they perceived as this creationist and evolutionary
process of life becoming and being what it is - a rhythmic vibratory
dance, oscillating and undulating motions governed by the rules of
music development. Please notice the intimate connection of threes to
nature as regarded by both Russell and Keely:
-
- "The seceret of man's
ability to control his universe lies in the knowledge of the
tonal octave wave and its field. Therefore know the wave in all
of its simplicity of three-times-three in numbered effect,
multiplied to infinite complexity but still not passing beyond
the three-times-three of man's easy
comprehension."
- [Walter Russell, A
New Concept of the
Universe, page
56.]
-
- "Rotation arises through
the harmonic interactions of the dominant and enharmonic modes
of vibration, in the ratio of 3:9." [John Keely, Snell
Manuscript]
-
- E's "gene pool" is again different from
its progenitors:
-
- 1280 factors into:
- 1X2X2X2X2X2X2X2X2X2X5. This "gene pool"
reduces to 1, 2 and 5 wherein we can see the harmonious connection
to the C and G families in the 1 and 2 being common "genes" or
factors of multiplicity which establish a degree of "sympathy" or
harmony between tones. And the Fibonacci aspect is seen again: 1 +
2 = 3 and 2 + 3 = 5.
-
- Next in line of procreation is "D" having
2304 cps. The "D" family of harmonics are created from a merging
of G1 + G2 = 2304 and C3 + E1 = 2304 . D is therefore offspring of
several combinations of progenitor tones and has relatively high
power of 16.
-
- 2304 factors into:
- 1X2X2X2X2X2X2X2X2X3X3. D's gene pool
reduces to 1, 2 and 3 same as the G family just a musical and
harmonic Fifth away. While E is a musical third from its parents C
and G while D is only a musical Second away. A third in musical
terms is considered more harmonious a relationship than a Second
which is considered somewhat discordant. The reason for this is
the closeness of the numbers. The ratio of numbers in a Second may
be so close that when they subtract from one another there arises
a slight difference which can become a beat tone and it is this
difference that gives rise to the perceived "harshness" of sound
of a chord made of these two tones when played together. This new
beat tone may have a factor set of numbers not wholely similar to
its progenitors. One could liken this "marriage" of Second tones to
an interfamilial one wherein offspring may be "aberrant" in
formation and or activity. When sounded sequentially one after the
other there is a degree of harmony but together they do not make
harmonious music due to the enharmonic character of the beat
tone.
-
- Another interesting harmonic born of this
process of evolution of harmonies is an interval close to the note
F. An arithmetically derived Perfect Fourth (3:4) above C4 (2048)
would yield F at 2730.6 which would be enharmonic. However a
naturally occuring summation tone of C4 (2048) + G1 (768) yields
2816 (F) which coincides with a musical Perfect Fourth derived
from C4 (2112) when A=440. What this shows is the "pedigree" of a
number determines how its harmonics will interface with itself
being then harmonious or discordant to some degree. By simply
shifting the fundamental by a digit or two changes the degree of
concordance. But this area of music and harmony excedes the scope
of this brief paper. This conversion from naturally occuring
harmonics to artifically derived musical intervals(7) is outside the
scope of this short discussion. The writer wishes to simply
present the idea that all sounds or vibrations when considered as
a fundamental will yield a complex series of octave and nonoctave
harmonics following the rules that govern music development which
are in reality an attempt to mirror naturally occuring activities
among vibrations.
-
- There is another kind of additive and
subtractive synthesis going on in vibrations as they interact.
This summation or difference is also in the POWER of the vibrations.
Throwing a pebble in a calm pool of water will give rise to
concentric rings of waves expanding outward. The rings of waves
possess two basic wave characteristics. Each ring is composed of a
raised portion of water and a sequential portion of lowered water
each portion being above and below the normal level of the water
respectively. If another pebble is thrown into the water a second
series of concentric rings will arise. The two series of rings
will interact. Where the crest of a wave meets another crest of a
wave from the other ring series the two crests will add their
height to each other thereby creating a momentary increase in
height above the unadded portion of each wave. And where a trough
meets a trough the reverse will be true. In sound waves this
adding and subtracting will occur with harmonics and harmonics of
harmonics resulting in quite complex wave
configurations.
-
- 1.15 - The Proof
-
- All good theories require a proof before
they can be accepted. In our case of musical octave and nonoctave
harmonics arising from all vibrations we can present a
model.
-
- In November 1989 Sound & Vibration magazine published an interesting article on Chladni
wave plate modes and frequencies. The latest technology was used
to record and tabulate this intriguing phenomenon. The aim was to
find the various naturally occuring frequencies and modes of a
vibrating square plate when forced to vibrate thus revealing its
natural frequencies or modes of resonance.
-
Figure 1.9 - Chladni Plate and its various modes of vibration.
-
-
-
-
- In
finding the interrelationships of the vibratory activities along the
lines of our theory a table of these naturally occuring frequencies and
modes was prepared, see chart #2. Common music note intervals are
compared along with the various modes and frequencies discovered. It is
very interesting to see that the naturally occuring frequencies when
compared one to another, as is done with musical pitches to derive
intervals, all fall very close to known musical intervals7!
-
Figure 1.10 - Modes of tested vibrating plate.
-
-
-
- Taking just two modes by way of example, "Mode 3" and "Mode 2," we see the difference between these two
numbers is only 19/1000ths greater than a Minor Third. The
difference between this naturally occuring interval and a Major
Third is only 31/1000ths. The differences of some of the other
numbers are even closer to an accurate musical interval. This
becomes significant when a vibration of 1207 cycles per second in
the Mode 2 pattern could generate a Mode 3 pattern at 1472 cps by
simply increasing the 1207 cps by a musical third, a simple
arithmetic procedure. There would be no complicated mathematical
calculation required to calculate or predict this new frequency.
The right-brain art of music would win out in its simplicity
(chart #3). In other words, the right brain simplicity would
succeed easily over the left brain complications (chart #2). Even
more significant is the grasp we would weld over a complicated
subject (chart #4). This simple insight gives us the Holy Grail of
science: Predictability. The resultant frequencies can be
accurately predicted before attempting the experiment. Thus
instead of finding a series of unrelated frequency numbers we find
a highly relative and organized phenomenon - pure harmony where
chaos was thought to be.
-
- Musical intervals are the distances
between pitches (relative frequencies). An interval is the amount
of change (delta) between the pitches. The frequencies can be set
up as algebraic variables set to a given difference in quantity
just like symbolic notes on a staff. See chart #3. It would then
be easy to determine the resultant secondary frequencies and modes
from this fundamental number by using the decimal values given
above or simply marking another note symbol a musical third,
fifth, etc. accurately representing a harmonic, naturally derived.
In other words: when given a vibrating plate of these dimensions
and characteristics it would be a simple matter to predict its
vibrational behavior using these musical intervals and
understandings. An in-depth, left-brain, time-consuming and
expensive analysis would not be required.
-
- Thus we can see our theory as stated
earlier is accurate in its concept, execution and in the
information it yields. Proving then, it really is a Musical
Universe! which is both created and evolved from its vibratory
root of One demonstrating there is no conflict between concepts of
a created universe and theories supporting material evolution.
Both these concepts work hand in hand to manifest, choreograph and
present the spectacle of beauty, structure, dynamics, utility and
love seen all around us. Genesis records God as having said Light
into Being but perhaps it would be more accurate to say God sang
Light into Being as the prelude to our Cosmic dance of
Life?
