| Cymatics is my spirit frequency!

| While I know a fair-enough-surface-level stuff about Cymatics,
| I really seek the day where I can focus on it more in depth.
|
| What I really love about Cymatic patterns that represent
| certain frequencies is that they have been seen throughout
| history in architectural reliefs and carvings.
|
| such as the famous rosslyn chapel:

| In a famous, meta-physical series of Tomes "Life and teaching
| of the masters of the far east" - there is a great part about
| the team of Baird T Spalding addressing a cliffside with a
| group of monks of some sort. There is a large flat stone that
| the group assembles on, then the monks form a half circle
| around the stone, and facing the cliffside, they chant and have
| some sort of horns which they blow a certain tonal frequency
| that bounces from the cliff face into the stone they are on,
| and the frequency resonates to levitate the stone up the cliff
| to hte temple they are seeking. _(read it in 1992, so deep pull
| from memory)_

| There are the biblical versions on Trumpet and Walls falling -
| and other sound-based stories of yore.
|
| We doing sonic surgery etc...
|
| And as Tesla famously says 3/69/ - if you want to understand
| the universe, understand frequency.

| I've never been able to source that Tesla quote.
|
| I wanted to use it for a cymatics museum exhibit. Since I'm a
| stickler for sourcing quotes, I kept looking for something
| really sweet...
|
| I found an Orphic hymn to Apollo from the 500BC or so, that
| had been translated by the great Renaissance scholar Marsilio
| Ficino (the guy who the Medicis hired to translate Greek
| classics into Latin).
|
| One line stood out: "Tu sphaeram totam, cithara resonante,
| contemperas" or "The resonance of your guitar attunes the
| whole world"
|
| Well, what struck me was that Ion of Chios (b 490 BC) wrote
| that Pythagoras himself had authored a number of Orphic
| hymns. So, while somewhat speculative, I used: "Your
| resonance attunes the whole world" and just attributed it to
| Pythagoras. A bit cheeky, but I had sources!
|
| The cymatic exhibit was funded from a quantum computing
| grant, as we used the Chladni plates and Faraday waves to
| illustrate eigenmodes -- drawing parallels to the
| interference patterns seen in the quantum electron clouds of
| hydrogen atoms.
|
| Well, it resonated with the audience, in any case!

| This is interesting, further, as the maths behind the Ghiri

|
| My point is that there is thousands of years of evidence
| tying the higher aspects of maths, thought, existence with
| psychedelics -- and lots regarding the use in Silicon
| Valley's history - whereby one of the first employees of
| Cisco Systems attributed LSD to the development of a lot of
| routing protocol concepts - including BGP.
|
| He was against drug testing at cisco for this reason.
|
| It will be lovely once we can tune an LLM to being able to
| discern the symbolism that represents higher order math
| concepts from the patterns, architecture and designs of
| ancients.
|
| And soon we will be more widely accepting of how it all
| reverberates into the primary components that make us.
|
| Highly recommend the Science of Sarah Walker - who was JRE
| and was talking about "assembly theory" and how we are a
| chemistry emergent intelligence, and while AI is a silicon
| emergent intelligence, we cant say that its not Life.

| Also, the Hunab Ku (in Mayanism, but also as a cymatic
| shape... I would like to catalog the patterns found in
| Cymatics against symbols and carvings, as mentioned.... I
| actually went to Mexico and toured with Hunbatz Men for a
| bit in 2001. and there are amazing things about the Chichen
| Itza Pyramid that I learned from him.
|
| Ill see if I can find anything about that Tesla quote..
| thats unfortunate. There are some cool pseudo-documentaries
| on Tesla 3/6/9 - do you have any opinion on those?

|
| I was taught that when youre interpreting symbols, but also
| when translating such texts, they are not expressed in
| words - but in _feeling_
|
| So when concepts from more Spiritually connected previous
| civilizations, the words are a mere shadow of the full
| vibratory frequency that is represented.
|
| For example, the Mayan Calendar, is taught as the Symbol of
| projecting your DNA through space.... the tongue out is the
| projection of the inner to the outer.
|
| "and god _said_ in a _sound_ voice* -- its about projecting
| vibration, frequency - not flat words....
|
| You may like some of these Mayan Order Lessons (If you've
| ever read anything by Weed (Rosicrucians) or other Masonic
| writings... this is of the same sort of mysticism, The
| Mayan Order has a lot of their initiation rituals based on
| sound, tones...
|
| (This post is kind of all over the place - as I havent
| syncopated all my thoughts/comments on it yet...
|
| But here - take a look at these:

| Wow - _thank you for bringing this to me._

| When I was 17 I astral projected and went to space and

| Travel well Margaret. Your journey will have been well earned.
