Life is the movement of pure thought (not thoughts), vibrating in balanced cycles from zero to positive, to zero, through negative, and back to zero............
Death is a flat-line. .. Zero....Nothing happening.
Life is both positive and negative, oscillating back and forth in a ceaseless dance of creation.
If we could just get this, half our resistance and suffering would be finished!
SIMPLE VIBRATION
A simple vibration is represented by a sine wave. The only pure simple vibration is one generated by an electronic tone generator, such as those you hear when audio or TV engineers are testing their equipment. The nearest naturally-produced pure tone is a bamboo flute.
- Amplitude
- Frequency
The Frequency is the pace at which the vibration is occurring. It is measured either as the distance from the tip of one peak/trough to the next, or as the number of cycles (from zero to positive, to zero, to negative, and back to positive) that happen in one second.
The human perception apparati are fairly clunky, covering only a very narrow spectrum of vibrations around the median zero-line. We simply cannot pick up very high or very low vibrations -- not without artificial assistance. But we can use them, as we do with toys like ultrasounds, x-rays, cinema sub-woofers, radios.
There are things going on around and through us that we don't have the wherewithal to "see", but that doesn't mean either that we're not affected by them, or that we can't do something with them.
We speak of the "quality"of life. In this case, "quality" is a kind of code-word for the general level of frequency at which it is vibrating.. At one end of a sliding scale, high-frequency patterns of thought and feeling produce a reality that is conducive to more spiritual perceptions and pursuits..The laws that govern this end of reality tend to be more esoteric and absolute. Existence feels fast and light, and the experience of an awakening of awareness at this end of the scale is sometimes called "enlightenment". This is the arena and focus of a meditative and contemplative life.
At the lower end of the frequency scale, heavier and denser thought and feeling produce another kind of reality. At this baser level of consciousness we are weighed down by separations, negative beliefs, behaviours, expectations and preoccupations with concerns about security, control and the exercise of power. This is the realm of suffering and Social Consciousness.
Social Consciousness is the sum total of individual low-level consciousnesses, and is most noticeable when we fly or drive out of the countryside into large cities. You can feel it as you move into it. Social Consciousness drapes itself like a pall over and around the people who create it. Those who live in the city hardly notice it, until they leave the city and move out of it for a while. Why do you think so many people seek ways to "escape" the city every long weekend and holiday?. Don't we feel lighter when we go for a drive to the beach, or the hills?. And heavier as we return to sub-urbia.
High-frequency consciousness is highly directional, and goes where it is pointed. When expressed as light, it tends to be at the blue-white (ultra-violet) end of the colour scale. Low-frequency energy is omni-directional, and spreads all over the place. In light form it is at the infra-red end of the spectrum.
COMPLEX VIBRATION
The same principles apply to complex vibrations. A complex vibration is a bunch of simple vibrations all happening at the same time. For example, a sound is usually made up of one or more dominant vibrations that are overlaid with lesser harmonic vibrations. Harmonics are pure tones that aren't on the same wavelength as the main tone. The harmonics -- or "off tones" are a product of how the note is produced. A vibrating string, such as a guitar, produces very different overtones to a vibrating reed, like a clarinet. The over-tones give a sound its richness of character. Simple sounds like a flute have relatively few harmonics; complex sounds like a symphony orchestra or the human voice are rich in harmonics. Melodic tones, like a single vibrating string are predominantly basic tones, coloured by characterising over-tones. Harsh sounds like the screech of a cockatoo are heavy with harmonics, and light on core melodic tones..
All vibrations will set off sympathetic vibrations in the environment immediately surrounding the original vibration. This is how the sounding boards of musical instruments like violins, guitars and pianos work. These secondary vibrations reflect the basic character of the original signal, but also impart some character derived from the medium that is vibrating in sympathy. Any form of life/vibration finds and sets up sympathetic vibration in the world around it.
Conversely, every environment has its own "resonating frequency"; that is, a dominant frequency at which it will respond to a particular energy source, vibrate in sympathy with, and amplify it. Actors and singers know this phenomenon, and use it to their advantage. They will find the resonating frequency of an auditorium, and align their voices with their environment in order to amplify the effect of what they are doing. Powerful tenors with perfect pitch (like Enrico Caruso) could detect the resonating frequency of a wine glass and shatter it by simply singing that note into it. The environment is always responding to the vibrations you emit, a phenomenon that could assist you, if you are aware of this law of vibration and get "in tune" with it.
All frequencies in perfect balance have a particular sound. Audio engineers call it "White Noise", and generate it artificially to use as a reference for adjusting the acoustics of sound systems and auditoria. White noise sounds like the noise you get when you hold a seashell to your ear --- "Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-------"
This is the sound of life in balance. when a baby gets upset (out of balance), we instinctively repeat the sound of all sounds ----
Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh...........................
