-
- 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)
also known as quantum entanglement.
'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]
1.2 - "One Phase of Keely's Discoveries
in Its Relations to the Cure of Disease"; See Addendum 6
- 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).
-
-
Figure 1.1
- Subdivisions of Matter and Energy
-
(click here for an expand
model of this 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."

John

-
- 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]

This

and Philosophy's quarterly magazine,

-
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?
