If we can understand how we are all united as one nation celebrating all the diverse ways in which we peacefully co-exist, we should also be able to take this understanding to a level of global consciousness where all illusionary boundaries are dissolved as there is no other ... no perceived outside enemy ... It's time we take the message of unity to a universal level where we awaken to the inherent oneness of all creation ... we are ☝ ... Namaste ... ☼:~)
The term Cymatics was coined by Dr. Hans Jenny which is derived from the Greek word 'kyma' meaning 'wave' or 'ta kymatica' meaning 'matters pertaining to waves'. In 1787, the jurist, musician and physicist Ernst Chladni published "Entdeckungen über die Theorie des Klangesor", "Discoveries Concerning the Theory of Music". In this and other pioneering works, Chladni laid the foundations for that discipline within physics that came to be called acoustics, the science of sound.
In his research with the tonoscope, Jenny noticed that when the vowels of the ancient languages of Hebrew and Sanskrit were pronounced, the sand took the shape of the written symbols for these vowels, while our modern languages, on the other hand, did not generate the same result! How is this possible? Did the ancient Hebrews and Indians know this? Is there something to the concept of "sacred language," which both of these are sometimes called? What qualities do these "sacred languages," among which Tibetan, Egyptian and Chinese are often numbered, possess? Do they have the power to influence and transform physical reality, to create things through their inherent power, or, to take a concrete example, through the recitation or singing of sacred texts, to heal a person who has gone "out of tune"?
An interesting phenomenon appeared when he took a vibrating plate covered with liquid and tilted it. The liquid did not yield to gravitational influence and run off the vibrating plate but stayed on and went on constructing new shapes as though nothing had happened. If, however, the oscillation was then turned off, the liquid began to run, but if he was really fast and got the vibrations going again, he could get the liquid back in place on the plate. According to Jenny, this was an example of an anti-gravitational effect created by vibrations.
What Hans Jenny pointed out is the resemblance between the shapes and patterns we see around us in physical reality and the shapes and patterns he generated in his investigations. Jenny was convinced that biological evolution was a result of vibrations, and that their nature determined the ultimate outcome. He speculated that every cell had its own frequency and that a number of cells with the same frequency created a new frequency which was in harmony with the original, which in its turn possibly formed an organ that also created a new frequency in harmony with the two preceding ones. Jenny was saying that the key to understanding how we can heal the body with the help of tones lies in our understanding of how different frequencies influence genes, cells and various structures in the body.
We are all of one essence and intimately connected with all creation ... To know the true nature of self as consciousness is to realize how we are all forever united in spirit ... Forever Dancing in Unison ... in Oneness ... ((( ॐ ))) ωє αяє σиє Ҫ☼Ñșḉḭǿῧșҋḝʂṧ ☼ ...
Our different levels of consciousness are like the developmental stages of children, whose understanding varies according to their age and experience. For example, the behavior of a two-year-old who doesn’t want to share can be understood as a phase of his social education, whereas a 16-year-old who behaves in the same manner would be thought to be acting childish. It is important to remember that we are each on our own unique path. We may have chosen certain lessons or made an agreement to play certain roles in the unfolding of the world’s understanding before we incarnated in this lifetime. So our job is not to judge others but to shift the balance of understanding in the world by increasing our own.
The Vedas are the ancient scriptures or revelation (Shruti) of the Hindu teachings which date far back in time to the origins of the Aryan civilization. Based on astronomical alignments in the Rigveda, in his book "The Orion", Bal Gangadhar Tilak stated the presence of the Rigvedic culture in India in the 4th millennium BC, and in his "Arctic Home in the Vedas" he added saying that the Aryans originated near the North Pole and came south during the Ice Age. The Vedas are also believed to have originated from where the Aryans came from ... inside the Hollow Earth from a place some know as Agartha or Shambalah ... Most of the UFOs seen across the world are also believed to originate from 'The Inner World' ...
Agartha is one of the most common names cited for the society of underground dwellers. Shamballa (also known as Shambalah or Shangri-La) is sometimes said to be its capital city. The mythical paradise of Shamballa is known under many different names: It has been called the Forbidden Land, the Land of White Waters, the Land of Radiant Spirits, the Land of Living Fire, the Land of the Living Gods and the Land of Wonders. Hindus have known it as Aryavartha (literally : The Land or Realm of The Aryans ; the Land of the Noble/Worthy Ones") - the land from which the Vedas come; the Chinese as Hsi Tien, the Western Paradise of Hsi Wang Mu, the Royal Mother of the West; the Russian Old Believers, a nineteenth-century Christian sect, knew it as Belovodye and the Kirghiz people as Janaidar. But throughout Asia it is best known by its Sanskrit name, Shambhala, meaning 'the place of peace, of tranquillity.'
"Shamanism" is basically the practice of contacting the "spirit world" and doing work on the dimensional and/or on a soul level. This could encompass many methods and modes of doing such. Shamans/Healers have been the corner stone of many spiritual traditions throughout the world. The roots of these ancient Healers and Priests regarded the soul and consciousness as a part of the whole cosmos. The shamanistic concept of "journeying" could be explained by as traveling through space and time dimensions to heal the soul and the person or many various other reasons depending on the culture of that healer. For many healer/shamans multidimensional traveling is a way of life. There is no distinct separation.
