Music
Secrets of Sound
Those who really wish to get the best out of life should shun inharmonious noises and all superfluous chatter; they should feed their spirit and nerves with music; they should sing often, aiming more at rhythm and resonance than at loudness and high notes; they should study the tones of their own speaking voices to gain an insight into their own characters. They should watch and guard their own words, remembering that in speaking they are building definite forms for good or for evil, which will persist in the ether, connecting their owner permanently with good or evil influences, and attracting to him much that he may ignorantly consider he has not deserved.
Science of Numbers
The world is built up of thousands of differing rates of vibrations, all
these having their origin in the One original vibration of the mind of the
Creator – or the sum, essence or single number of the Whole.
We learn from the ancient teachings that the One original mighty Creative Power,
wishing to make further manifestation, and to exercise His creative ability for
a purpose which it is beyond us to understand at present, divided Himself (by
the power of the Word) into Three, thus forming that great Triangle which
originated Life and Action as we know it.
The Triangle, known as Father-Mother-Son, or Positive-Negative-Combustion, or
Mercury-Sulphur-Salt, as we have seen, has always been studied all over the
world.
We begin, therefore, in this science, with the number One, the Creator, who
divides into Three in the act of creating. The scientist will describe this
formation as Polarity. As Schopenhauer put it: ‘Polarity, or the sundering of a
force into two quantitively different and opposed activities, striving reunion
…. Is a fundamental type of almost all the phenomena of Nature, from the magnet
and the crystal to man himself.’ The Hindus describe it thus: ‘Brahma, that the
world might be born, fell asunder into man and woman, became name and form, time
and space.’
In a further definition of the origin of this Solar System we are told that the
Creator, a Great White Light, divided into Three – Red, Yellow and Blue (the
primary colours which correspond with the primary notes of the scale, C, E and
G). After the division into Three, the second great division into Seven took
place, and the Seven Spirits Before the Throne, inhabiting the Seven Sacred
Planets of this Solar System, came into being. From them radiated the seven
colours of the spectrum. There are also the seven notes of music, the
seven planes of matter, seven days of the week, the seven ages of man and his
seven glands – in fact, as we have seen, the tremendous scale of Nature’s
vibrations runs in an infinity of octaves of seven.
Secrets of Sound
Finding of the Third Eye
By studying such theories we can realize the intimate connection between
Sound and all other expressions of life. Sound is low down on the scale and
comes just above Form. Therefore Sound is the intermediary between the
‘abstract’ idea and the ‘concrete’ form. Sounds mould the ether into shapes, and
through these shapes the corresponding Power is able to play and make its
impress on physical matter.
The clairvoyant primitive peoples actually saw the shapes produced in the ether
by sounds. They represented these shapes as the letters of their alphabet. So
most words and sounds of the early languages actually controlled and represented
that which they expressed. When those peopled called on the god ‘Ra’ they
established a connection just as definitely as we do when we tune in our
wireless to Paris or London.
Throughout history we can learn of the deliberate and effective use of sound.
Priests have always employed it, creating certain definite reactions on the
people by the use of chanting and intoning. In the Ancient Mysteries and Magical
Ceremonial Rites words, sounds and shapes were combined to gain certain ends.
Each one of us is intensely affected by sound-waves, which of course pass right
through our bodies.
Edgar Cayce's music revelations:
In the beginning, God desired to self-expression, and desired companionship.
Therefore, the cosmos and souls were projected. The cosmos was built with music,
arithmetic, and geometry; harmony, system, and balance. The building blocks were
the life essence. It was a power sent out from God, which by changing the length
of its wave and the rate of its vibration became a pattern of differing forms,
substance, and movement. This created the law of diversity which supplied
endless designs for the pattern. God played on this law of diversity as a person
plays on a piano, producing melodies and arranging them in a symphony.
Each design carried within it the plan of its evolution, which was to be
accomplished by change. This corresponds to the sound of a note struck on a
piano. The sounds of several notes unite to make a chord; chords in turn become
phrases; phrases become melodies; melodies intermingle and move back and forth,
across and between and around each other, to make a symphony. The music ends as
it began, leaving emptiness, but between the beginning and the finish there has
been glorious beauty and a great experience... (Edgar Cayce)
