Cymatics-the study of the effects of soundwave patterns-could lead to a better understanding of the nature of the universe.
Everything in the universe is comprised of 2 things: energy and information. The information is what leads to the incomprehensible order and organization of the energy into the building blocks of the universe: elements are made of atoms, atoms are made of protons, neutrons, and electrons, which are in turn made up of quarks and gluons, etc. My theory is that the way energy is organized is through vibration. Think about it, color does not exist. We perceive reflected wavelengths through an instrument of observation (your eye), which receives the information, encodes and organizes the information into a language of light electricity, and chemicals that your brain can interpret, then your brain recreates the wavelengths as a color. I belive that high frequency sound wavelengths may be the creative force behind the universe organizing the behaviors of all matter, from galaxies to continents to gluons. This could be the glue that holds all matter together, as well as the answer to "dark matter" and why the universe doesn't simply collapse onto itself because of gravity. There is a great ammount of faith needed to believe that DNA occured spontaneously and naturally (depending on your definition of natural), but if we can observe the amazing organizational properties of soundwaves on sand and rice, imagine the way matter interacts when introducing different frequencies and materials-then it shouldn't be very difficult to believe that God is the programmer of DNA, and that he SPEAKS everything into existance.
God SAID let there be light In the beginning was the WORD.
Some great videos documenting the effects of high frequency resonance on different materials.
Ghandi once said that you can not worship without sacrifice. What would you do if you were faced with the choice of either having to lie about your beliefs to fit into society OR raising your family inside a trash dump among other Christians.
A real commitment to your principles and beliefs requires you to make serious choices. Luckily for us (or unluckily) we live in America where our primary role in the global community is that of the perpetual consumer. This works out great for us because we can feel as if we are free because we are able to go out and find a job that we want and buy as much stuff as we want. And we are a very free country relative to most other nations throughout history; I appreciate that fact greatly. But I am not dilusioned, the enslavement of the dollar is a very enticing and rewarding chain to bare... for a while.
But what if you were born in Egypt today? I had never heard of the Zebeline until I saw this. It should also be noted while watching this that Egypt has recieved more financial aid from America over the past 30 years (aka OUR tax money). This is the return on our involuntary investment.
Anyone who has talked to me lately may have heard me talking about symbolism in our culture, particularly the hexagram (Star of David). I have been careful exploring this aspect of mysticism. I started noticing the Hexagram in so many places (Israeli flag, masonic square and compass, easter lillies, the dollar bill, snowflakes) as well as Pentagrams (like the D.C. street layout). Other symbols became very apparent as well. Consider the symbol of the U.S. dollar:
The obvious question to us all should be, "Why should I care if these symbols are used in our culture?" Well, many people believe that these sacred geometric symbols actually contain
and control the energy forces of nature. There is a certain truth to the fact that geometric principles and patterns emerge constantly (and quite elegantly) in the creation processes of God. The problem lies in who you are attributing creation powers to. The patterns themselves are only fingerprints of the creator.
Jesus said to worship in Spirit and in Truth. We worship our lord in the temple of our heart and mind. The problem today is that many people are able to worship in spirit, but not necessarily in truth. Sitting through the Easter/Ishtar Sunday service, I could not help but be disturbed by the imagery (decorated eggs, bunnies, Easter lilies, etc...) of mystery religions that are prevalent in this originally Babylonian holiday. The Christians in the congregation were certainly not there to worship Tammuz or Baal, but rather they were worshiping the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Worship in Spirit is a wonderful thing, but it is incomplete because we are also commanded to worship in TRUTH.
Would you attend a church that decorated it's walls with swastikas? Of course not, because you know what those symbols stood for. If you had never heard of the Third Reich, you probably wouldn't have any problem because the symbol has been used for centuries in India as a mark for good luck and well-being. Therein lies the problem with symbols altogether. We will associate a concept onto a symbol, then project that concept onto everyone associated with it. This practice is lazy and irresponsible because it causes us look at all who accept certain symbols through a distorted assumptive lense rather than trying to understand the individual person. This is also a method of hiding behind a symbol of identity without actually having one yourself. It makes it easy to hide behind the ideals of the group. You can still reserve the right to say what it "means to you" and therefore have no accountability, yet still maintain the force of the symbolism and possibly the support of others who embrace that symbolism.
