THE CREATIVE DYNAMICS OF LIGHT AND SOUND

Now that’s a mouth and mind full! Let’s see if I can expand on it and hopefully make it clearer and more reader-friendly—as well as more practical and applicable to the living of life here and now. I’ll simply share an excerpt from my book ATTUNEMENT WITH SACRED SOUND. Enjoy, and hopefully be edified and inspired.

Essentially music and sound are sacred when conveying the Spirit of God from the invisible and inaudible Heavenly Realms of Light into the visible and audible Earthly realm of physical, material creation.

In the beginning of creation, it was sound that carried the spirit of God forth upon the face of the waters when God said “Let there be light.”  Sound was the carrier wave upon which the spirit of God moved in creating the world.  Sound is still the carrier wave for Spirit to move in re-creating the world.  I re-create my body, and my world, by the light of love moving out upon the carrier waves of my thoughts and my words.  My word, sound, carries my spirit to accomplish that for which I send it forth from my mouth out of the fullness of my heart, for “out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.”

Light is refracted into seven colors as it passes through a crystal prism, creating the rainbow spectrum. Above and beyond the seven primary frequencies in the light spectrum are countless shades of each color, we might call them color overtones.

Sound has also been differentiated into seven primary pitches in the modern musical octave as determined by Pythagoras—thirteen with the half-steps—and countless overtones and undertones. Musicologist Herman Helmholtz (1887) gave the correlations between the notes of the musical scale and the colors of the light spectrum. The frequencies of light, of course, are inaudible, being thirty or more octaves above the highest notes of our standard piano keyboard.

The graphic below is a chart showing the correlations Helmholtz gave between the notes of the musical scale and the colors of the rainbow spectrum. The actual “sounds” of the spectrum are, of course, beyond the hearing range of the human ear, although there are those who claim to hear musical pitches when they look at colors.

One Spirit Differentiated Sevenfold

Just as light is differentiated into a rainbow of seven colors by a prism, so is Spirit differentiated into seven frequencies of sacred energy through the seven ductless glands of the endocrine system. Uranda based this spiritual interface on a passage in the Book of Revelation (ch.4:5) where St. John describes “seven lamps which are the seven spirits before the throne of God.” He saw the throne of God in the Body Temple to be the Pineal gland, the seventh gland of the endocrine system, which he designated as the anatomical location where the Spirit of Love is focalized and the angel incarnate enters the body via the “silver cord” of connection between the physical and spiritual realms.

In the diagram below, I have depicted the seven frequencies of light as a pyramid with white light above shining through and being refracted into seven colors and the spirit of God differentiated into the “Seven Spirits.”

Uranda described and named these seven spirits as the Spirit of Love, the Spirit of the Womb or Truth, the Spirit of Life, the Spirit of Purification, the Spirit of Blessing, the Spirit of the Single Eye, and the Spirit of the New Earth. While sharing attunement, the practitioner may find it helpful in maintaining a clear focus and intensity of spiritual energy to focus on the names of these seven spirits in consciousness while working with each respective endocrine center. Each spirit brings its own unique texture and quality of energy into the attunement process. My poem above, “The Seven Spirits of God” describes some of the essences of their qualities.

Regarding the musical pitches assigned to the glands, I have found the frequency of the pitch emanating from the Pineal Body to be F or F#, the color of Violet.  Pitches and color tones for the entire endocrine system were determined, then, by correlating the glands with the notes in the octave of music and the colors of the light spectrum. The chart shows the colors of the rainbow correlated with the musical pitches and the endocrine glands. (Note: These pitches and colors can be verified through kinesiology, or muscle testing).

By reason of the principle of resonance, when a specific pitch is sounded, it resonates with a specific spirit. A movement of sacred energy, then, takes place from out of the invisible, inaudible realm of spirit and into the visible, audible realm of form in the physical body. This movement is facilitated by means of our two sacred energy systems: the endocrine glands and their corresponding chakras. The voice can make that sacred energy audible.  

Considering all the music by the Masters, one may surmise that this is one way by which the Spirit of God has managed to be in this chaotic world. For instance, think of the music of Handel, Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Aaron Copland, John Rutter, and so many others, such as Sergey Rachmaninov’s beautiful choral music with its rich bass tones. Their music is kept alive and sounding even today by choruses and symphonic orchestras around the globe.  The world is engulfed in their beautiful music. 

Consider, further, that musical scores are written in different key signatures.  Handel wrote his “Hallelujah Chorus” in the key of D major, and what a glorious vocal piece that is, rendering the word of praise and honor to the “King of kings and Lord of lords,” proclaiming his “reign forever and ever!”  We have Mozart’s “Piano Concerto No. 23 in A,” his “Symphony No. 31 in D,” and another “piano Concerto No. 27 in B-flat,” and his “Violin Concerto No. 4 in D,” and so on.  Notice how music in various key signatures affects you.  Where in your body do you feel their impact?  Here is where spirit is being released, drawn forth by the carrier waves of sound emanating from the music.

Sound, then, is a tool for creation.  Not just any sound, but sound that carries a tone and a wave form that is coherent and pure.   We call this “music.”  Then there’s the “Musica Universales, or Music of the Spheres” an ancient concept attributed to Pythagoras who reportedly could hear the musical harmonies of the planets. Are these the sound waves that carry the Word that creates all things sent forth by the Creator into the void of space? Pythagoras based our musical theory on this mathematically precise Musica.

Musical sound is being used extensively and increasingly in the healing arts.   It can be used effectively with attunement, as well as all forms of energy work.  Our use of sound in attunement is not so much to heal our physical ills as it is to facilitate the generation and clarification of pneumaplasm, the rarified spiritual substance that connects spirit with form, which we considered earlier. It is through this substance that spirit has a means of connecting with and managing the world of physical form. This is the medium for the propagation of the Tone through which love comes forth out of heaven to touch the earth of our flesh – or, perhaps more accurately, how flesh rises to touch heaven, spiritualized by the movement of the Spirit of Love through it.  When flesh is touched by love it is uplifted, transformed, made whole and holy. What I am suggesting here is that music, harmonic sound, is a tool that can be used in the sacred healing arts to summon forth spirit.

I emphasize the word resonance to remind us that we are not manipulating physical substance – or mental and spiritual substance for that matter – with sound. We are simply sounding a tone that may engender and give rise to a resonant response from within the person’s heart of hearts. It is the vibration of the resonant response within the individual – self or other – that does the “work” in harmonizing and uplifting the vibrations of life in the tissue cells of the body. What I offer my client, of course, I offer to myself – obviously, as my body is impacted by the same tones my client is hearing and feeling.

Wholeness Already Is

At a core level, we are already whole and complete.  Just as the seven frequencies of the rainbow spectrum are inherent in the one ray of white light, so also are the infinite range of frequencies of Life made manifest throughout the natural world of form present and inherent in the tone of the Spirit of Love resounding in our flesh and maintaining its existence and function.  The physical body will reflect that wholeness to the extent there is attunement with Spirit at the core of one’s being.  In Being – and I capitalize the word here to emphasize that we are talking about Divine Presence and about the divine identity of each human being as an individualized manifestation of the Creator – are all the qualities and characteristics needed for life and healthy function in our physical bodies.  So, wholeness, health, already is.  If there is a lack of the experience of wholeness and health in the physical body-mind, then to that extent there is a lack of attunement between the perfect tone of Being and its manifestation in and through the physical form – and the key to manifestation is expression.

Expression Allows Release and Knowing

This is a wonderful principle, because the expression of love allows for the experience of love, and consequently of life.  The outer human form experiences health and wholeness when the qualities and characteristics of inner Being are actually expressed in and through the physical body-mind and heart of the individual— and two of the chief qualities of Being are thankfulness and compassion.  

It is music to the ear to hear someone express thankfulness. One of the chief characteristicof Being is forgiveness, the instantaneous release of whatever would bind us to another person’s hurtful expression and behavior—or bind them to us.  If something is upsetting us, we can give thanks and then forgive. In other words, we can let it go. Such expression clears your substance of any and all distortion so that the unfettered expression of the perfection of spirit can come through.   

For that expression to be accurate there needs to be plenty of this clear, calm and rarified connecting substance of pneumaplasm present between spirit and form.  Musical sound, such as toning and chanting, is very generative of this connecting substance. With enough of this silvery substance in place, spirit has a means of working its magic upon the human form to reveal the perfection of Being.  So the quantity, as well of the quality, of pneumaplasm, being generated by the expression of spirit is equally important.  The Spirit of Love generates the very finest quality of pneumaplasm.

In summary, then, healing of physical ills is not our primary concern. That is the domain of spirit. Our first concern is the generation of this fine substance of pneumaplasm through which spirit may move — and even that is done by spirit.  We may simply facilitate the process.  Music, sacred sound, is a tool to facilitate that movement of spirit, especially when the person receiving the attunement participates in the toning. It is not the sound, therefore, that offers healing to the body, but the spirit moving upon the sacred sound waves and through the whole person.

I trust you have enjoyed reading and learning from this post and the excerpt from ATTUNEMENT WITH SACRED SPOUND. I would love hearing what you thought of it and especially how it may have inspired you. You can obtain your personal copy of my book from Amazon’s book store. Until my next post, then,

Be love. Be loved.
