We are each a note in a Cosmic Symphony
Dear Friend,
Music exists as part of the soul of every known culture. It is diverse and distinctive to each of the societies from which the variety of its expressions are spawned.
The origins of music in human societies are shrouded in the myths of the past and may have sprung from the human desire to entertain, to relax, to express ourselves, to celebrate, to express emotions or motivate groups to action. Whatever the origin, it remains an intrinsic part of all of humanity and each society has created its own unique aural signature.
According to historians in Canada, indigenous music conveys “historical narratives, legends, creations stories” reflecting unique values, beliefs and traditions.[1] In some cultures a child is assigned a unique birth song that connects them to their soul but it has been demonstrated that our awareness of music precedes our birth, as fetuses have been shown to stop moving around in response to music. Canadian psychologist, Sandra Trehub, as quoted by O. Chorna et al, states: “The human brain is both wired with innate music abilities and shaped by music experience, starting in utero and continuing across the lifespan”.[2] In many meditation practices and in sound healing, for example, the person is asked to go within and connect to their sound, their song, as a means of connecting to their own inner being to resolve trauma and dis-ease.
Sound and music have long been used as part of traditional healing. Aborigines for instance primarily use didgeridoos for health and wellbeing.[3] Interestingly, in 2018, South Korean research showed how 40 Hz when exposed to Alzheimer brains reduced the level of amyloid beta, which suggests that the frequency was able to help the brain to cleanse itself.[4],[5] It is widely known that people with Alzheimer’s who have forgotten so much about their lives can remember the words of songs from their childhood at a very deep brain level, as happened with a member of Alys’s family.
Depression, worry, fear, anxiety trap us in limited space and time. Vibrations such as music can affect our mood, contributing to this bottom below thinking or positively elevate us. Researchers, Professor Bomin Sun et al of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, set out to find more effective ways for music to activate the depressed brains of those who resist conventional treatment.[6] Electrodes for deep-brain stimulation were implanted in the brains of 13 patients in a circuit connecting the stria terminalis and the nucleus accumbens. They found that certain music generates an antidepressant effect by “synchronizing the neural oscillations between the auditory cortex, which is responsible for processing of sensory information, and the rewards circuit, which is responsible for processing emotional information”.[7] This is an area of study that, although limited at this stage, has great potential for human well-being.
Many people will deny that they are musical, yet in studying earworms (songs that play in a loop in our minds), psychologists Matthew G Evans, Pablo Gaeta and Nicolas Davidenko of UC Santa Cruz, found that many people can recognise and produce perfect pitch.[8] It has also been found that “musically untrained adults’ understanding of musical structure is comparable to that of musical experts.”[9]
An interesting musical sculpture, the singing ringing tree[10], is found on a windy hill in Burnley, England; it was built to hide an eyesore and it has been observed that it never produces the same sound, twice. Different positions provide a different perspective as the wind whistles through mild steel pipes in the shape of a tree. This structure highlights how individual each person’s response to music is. Yet, we know that by certain methods of entrainment, disparate vibrations can be brought into unity.[11]
We, thus, understand that not only is sound evident as a building block in our culture and society, but it is a fundamental building block of the human body too. As discussed in the book Sound[12], there is music resonating right down to the level of our DNA. Scientists like David Deamer of UC Santa Cruz, in the 1980’s, created DNA songs on piano. Likewise, French mathematician and physicist, Joël Sternheimer, at the same time, used a physics framework to transcribe frequencies linked to amino acids into musical scores.[13] Linda Long, a biochemist at University of Exeter, plays music via computer allowing one to “’hear’ the shapes of the proteins”.[14]
The Keys of Enoch[15] tells us in Key 3-0-5:33 with reference to the song of Kodoish, Kodoish, Kodoish Adonai Tsebayoth that:
To hear these musical notes is to experience an entire symphony of Light. It would be as if earthling man would hear a very low frequency sound (.01-4 Hz) and feel as if he were a musical note traveling through space without any boundaries.
In verse 14 of Key 305[16], this expression of the Kodoish, Kodoish, Kodoish Adonai Tsebayoth, is a Song Celestial, that can alter the swirling colours of the sub-atomic particles in our body. To be entrained with the Song Celestial, sets in motion a resonance with the Divine Throne. Here we transcend our boundaries of time and space and like a musical note begin to float in space.
Let us sing the Kodoish, Kodoish, Kodoish Adonai Tsebayoth which unites the lower vibratory worlds with the higher levels of Creation to place ourselves in resonance with the Throne Energies where we recognize we are also part of a Cosmic Symphony.
