THE SPIRITUAL POWER 
OF MUSIC, SOUND, VOWELS #9

The Ancestors
In this week's blog on the spiritual power of music, sound, vowels or words I am going to delve into some personal mythology or an explanation of what ancient wisdom might be telling us. My disclaimer is what the ancestors say above. However, for those of a scientific or quantum nature, maybe go no further.

We have established that "In the Beginning was the Word or Logos" and that this is what created the universe. 
  Jenning by using viscous substances showed that different frequencies of sound formed certain patterns - the higher the frequency the more complex the pattern. Vowels and words make patterns as well. 
We have also shown in prior blogs that some of these patterns form shapes which are common in nature i.e. a form of Sacred Geometry. According to Pythagoras, God "geometrized" the universe and "numbers" were the manner of all things in it. Sound and music are the mathematics of the Divine. 
These sounds influence water as well. Water has resonance and retains memory. The cells in our body are 80% water so that music, singing, sound, chanting, vowels, the bijah sounds of each chakra, and words can influence us more profoundly than we may know. 

"You can heal anything with the right sound."
Credo Mutwa 

Prayer may be a magical way to use words which may also have a lot to do with Emoto's work of exposing water to positive or light, versus negative or dark intentions. In other words; love or fear. He froze the water previously exposed to various love intentions  including tonal, harmonic music and found them to reveal beautiful crystalline shapes when looked at under a microscope. The opposite was true with a fear or negative vibration e.g. heavy Metal music which was atonal, non harmonic and chaotic. The crystals here assumed hideous shapes.
 Many cultures sing or chant their ancient vowels, producing musical tones to use as a form of healing. 
According to the Kabbalists it was the Hebrew alphabetic which created the sound needed for the creation to take place.
Kabbalah also has its own version of the Big Bang (Google Yitzchak Luria's version) and extrapolated from that an explanation pertaining to quantum physics...
Not only shapes but sounds as well.

Celtic wisdom
The Celtic belief that God sang creation into existence and that this is the sacred tune of the universe is shared by Pythagoras' (Music of the Spheres,) the singing of the stars by the San Bushmen and the Zohar and the eternal O H M or A U M by the Hindus. Moreover, it continues on and on to this day and beyond. However, only those pure of heart can hear it viz..


Brahma; the Supreme Creator, represents 
Ether, the fifth element 
which includes Sound.
Akasha is ether, sound 
Nada is vibration
Brahma is sound
O H M or A U M
represents the three deities
Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva

'Ohm' or 'Aum' is the sound of the universe. Ohm is all encompassing and the essence of the ultimate reality that unifies everything in the universe. As you chant OHM A-U-M you are experiencing the all in everything


The galaxies seem to be achieving an impossible feat. They are rotating with such speed that the gravity generated by them could not possibly be the only factor holding them together. They should have torn themselves apart long ago. Something we cannot see is at work, sustaining them and us - what quantum physicists call Dark Matter. 

"A river arose out of Eden forming Four Rivers and Four Winds." The Zohar

Is it possible that the Sacred Song of the universe is the magical dark matter or force, animated by the Breath/Wind/Prana/Spirit of the Divine that is preventing the galaxies from spinning out of control and imploding?
 Kabbalah believes that it is the Breath or "Wind" (Ruach) of God which sustains us all at every present moment and if it was withdrawn everything would come to an end.
The Ancestors 

The Four Winds animate all four elements and Beings with differing and increasing vibrations from; 
Earth - Still Beings
to
Water - Growing Beings 
to
Air - Wild Beings 
to
 Fire - Talking Beings.

Genesis; "... and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."

As above so below
As below so above

The Ancestors tell us that we are like marionettes connected to the supernal worlds and that every kind action we take, or positive chant/sound/song we express or word that we speak has an effect above and benefits us at the same time below. They liken it to creating pockets of angelic energy. The converse is true in that we may also create mini demons. We may even have a a tiny roll in sustaining the Breath that animates us and the world.
Hence what comes around (to above) also goes around (back to us below.)

Yoga philosophy

Thought precedes the sounds that we make and the songs that we sing.

The Buddha voices a similar message to Gandhi's (thoughts become words which become behavior... habits ... values and destiny 
(and our karma too.) 
They also affect the cosmic realm.

Einstein said; 
"Our knowledge is the knowledge of children. We will know a little more than we know now but the real nature of things we will never know, never."
We need to be humble but we are allowed to speculate on our own mythology.

THE SPIRITUAL POWER OF MUSIC
IMAGINATION AND THE SENSES # 8

of A

The sounds in nature may be the closest thing we can experience to the music of the spheres; the soft fascinations of the wind rustling in the trees and a babbling brook and more...

Aldo Leopold

"The soul's essence should lodge comfortably in the body."
The Ancestors

From the sound of my sighing has my essence cleaved onto my flesh." 
Psalm 102:5

When we are spiritually in balance, harmony and have equanimity the soul and the body are at one. When the opposite occurs, and we behave in a karmically unsound manner, the soul may gradually separate from the body leading to soul sickness or even soul loss. 
The wrong kind of music can also be disturbing to the soul which is pure.


The Ancestors

In these troubling times imagination can take us wherever we want to be. Children are gifted in being able to do this so we should also practice their "beginner's mind" with the power of our imagination. The Ancestors stress that imagination assisted by any sensory method can help us enter into this realm. Nature enables as does music.
“I am enough of the artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” 
Albert Einstein

The Ancestors

You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete." 
Buckminster Fuller

Imagination propelled by sensation, especially with music, is one way to do this.
Change can be a manifestation of a memory or a nuance from recent or past experiences which leads to something passionate and provocative. Imagination, which is an active meditation, can facilitate this.
 We have a choice, leap into infinity, light and spaciousness or descend into narrowness and darkness.

"The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts." Marcus Aurelius
 Our thoughts are being recorded by our subconscious all the time and no matter what we think we think with our conscious minds, our lives will unfold according to what is in our subconscious.
And how we speak;
"What we speak becomes the house we live in." Hafiz
Negative and judgmental thoughts imprint on the subconscious and will return to us and negatively impacting our progress. Wish people well and good returns to you. It also helps to pay forward.

"We are born to bless not to punish. We should always see good things in others. We are not in a position to criticize anyone..." Maharishi

 The subconscious is the seat of emotion which can be changed with an active, sensory imagination driven by music especially around sleep. This is when the subconscious is the most permeable, the ego and mind are less tenacious and the conscious is on hold.
The Ancestors

There are certain things that have universal attributes, like music. Something of greater magnitudes conveyed by them. They connect us with the universal storehouse of life and knowledge." Swami Paramananda

 Around the Time of Sleep 
 or in a Meditative State
with carefully selected music,
enter "The Field."
This is a place of infinite possibility. 
Imagine anything 
that you wish for, or where you would like to be or who you would aspire to become. Even hold imaginary conversations with someone you love or a spirit guide (or angels, or Jesus or God.)


Put you intention into the Field.
 Release completely from any attachment you have for an outcome. 
Attachment works negatively in the Field and with the subconscious. Intention should preferably not be about "me" but the greater good. Try and get oneself out of the way.
Allow the 
 Field
to handle the details. 
Because of free will some detail is essential 
Our guides need to hear the
 Context of your Intention
(not necessarily the exact content.)
Affirm, maintain, sustain
Everything beyond the veil is in the moment. Free will is the cosmic law. Free will is in the moment. Your guides live in the moment. They may know you want it now but will you continue to want it later?
Will and Passion are important !
They help you "feel."
"The universe will reward you for taking risks on its behalf." Shakti Gawain
Belief or Faith 
(which is the more difficult) 
is essential for it to work.

THE DIFFERENT SPIRITUAL POWER 
OF SOME MUSIC GENRES #8


Just a recap to highlight some insights

200 years later 
In the beginning was the word/logos/song

Think of what sound and words can do to our bodies especially the cells which are 80% water.
The right sound...

"Again, when the mind is doubtful, when the mind drinks deep of doubt-poison, the sense have no capacity to inject faith into the mind. Here also music comes to the rescue." 
Shri Chinmoy


Are we harmonically out of balance with the universe and especially the "Music of the Spheres"? 
Can we heal ourselves with the power of sound and the right words or at least prevent harm from the wrong kind including gossip and slander??
Because a high vibration of ...

 In Biblical times
The harp was used for healing 
and
"God protected the psalmist by surrounding him with songs of deliverance..."

Ancient wisdom tells us that song, chanting, crystal bowls, Tibetan gongs, rattles, horns (the ram's horn in the Bible),  and
can have profound effects on our vibration.
Meditate on these songs below and see what affect they have on you.

Skip the adds and if you don't enjoy the visuals close your eyes. 
In fact it may be better to close your eyes and see what the song means to you. Like art it might differ from the one who created it.

Even if you do not have a clue about what the words mean the sound of them has an effect as in ...

Here the insert of a rock vibe accentuates and delivers the message more powerfully. The flux and fight between light and dark and the need to watch ones back.

More than ever do we need music in these troubling times.

THE SPIRITUAL POWER OF MUSIC # 7


This blog will focus more on the music selection and it's intention rather than information. See where it takes you in your imagination.

The Ancestors endorse - more than most things - the power of sensory meditation and the use of music to enhance our imaginative power as part of an active, rather than passive meditative practice.

"Imagination is the elixir of the Divine permeating the universe. It is more than positive thinking. Our imaginings help us cocreate with the Creator. 
Paint the picture of your life with imagination." 
The Ancestors 

They would affirm that most brilliant musicians are channelling from their Ancestors or Spirit Guides (or "Muse,") and in the case of some, like Mozart and Beethoven, the Angels or God Him/HerSelf. 
Hence the need to give credit where it is due (as do Ladysmith Black Mombasa who admit that their songs come from the Ancestors.)
Their imagination is inspired by Spirit. 
You either have that connection or you don't. Click on the link to highlight then play.
Skip the adds

Music has its light or dark side but we need more light to neutralize all the dark that surrounds us in our modern world. 
A simple beat like Rap can be compelling 
with words that elevate. 
Beethoven, Tartini, Wagner and other composers used  the Tritone or "Diabolus Musica" 
to create drama 
rather than dissonance and the chaotic sounds of Heavy Metal. It's all about the basic intention - does it instill love or fear.


There are three ways of mourning; with tears, with silence and with song. That with song is the most powerful." Talmud

Whether it's loss

or death ...
