At any time when I discuss vibration and resonance from a religious perspective with my science buddies, they roll their eyes. I get it. I’m removed from a scientist and even additional away from being versed in quantum concept, so utilizing phrases that they may use in a really totally different context frustrates the hell out of them. The identical holds true, I suppose, when drawing parallels to music, although this one I can not less than declare some information of. I learn music, have performed the piano since I used to be six, and tinker with the harmonium, crystal, and Tibetan bowls, and Djembes.
I take into consideration vibration as one thing felt within the physique. Simply because the proverbial sound of OM is claimed to be the unique sound of the universe, there’s one thing primal that we really feel after we chant the OM sound over and over. Maybe as a result of it’s that historical?
Lengthy earlier than phrases had been formed into doctrines and scriptures, knowledge was felt as vibration. Right now, knowledge is combined: from conventional information we be taught in class and direct expertise, to conditioned materials we soak up from household and hand-me-down storytelling, though the latter is fairly uncommon today, not less than within the West. Knowledge can also be coming to us now by means of on-line clicks on Instagram, AI-generated content material and movies which will or might not be correct. We accumulate issues within the trendy world, from boats, homes, automobiles, garments and standing symbols to likes and followers on social media.
We paid consideration to the celebrities, so we didn’t get misplaced at night time, and the instructions, so we knew which solution to stroll. They might have been delicate, however they resided in our system as a lot as tuning in to the indicators of an sad child does for a mom immediately.
Within the work we do, together with the upcoming Blue Soul Alchemy knowledge college program we’re launching later this Spring, we speak quite a bit about perceptions of our recognized actuality, our understood actuality. The ancients spoke of matter as an phantasm and of actuality not being what we expect it’s. We as soon as understood issues by means of resonance, the mysterious concord that arises when one vibration awakens one other.
I consider vibration because the invisible pulse beneath kind. It’s like a recognition or a remembering of one thing innate inside us, for the universe is in us as a lot as we’re in it. Deepak, Ram Dass, and others have additionally written about this through the years. Vibration within the physique is felt, maybe as a sacred grammar that’s older than faith, older than philosophy, older than language, and maybe older than our notion of time itself.
When the soul’s inside frequency aligns with the deeper rhythms of existence, resonance happens. All of the sudden, fact just isn’t argued for or confirmed; it’s felt within the physique, and that is one cause why embodiment is so essential on a contemporary religious path. Gnostic knowledge usually speaks in symbols somewhat than guidelines, in parables somewhat than direct teachings, very like Yeshua did over two thousand years in the past. Symbols can awaken resonance in those that are prepared to listen to, and that is one cause I discover sacred geometry so riveting.
Our first guide, Magdalene’s Journey, talks in regards to the forgotten Sophia knowledge, which some see as the female face of Godde. Though teachers and historians could not agree with every part in our guide (which is historic fiction and visionary literature for a cause), I feel most will agree that her identify symbolizes a mode of understanding rooted in embodied knowledge and intuitive notion. She represents a spirituality not confined to hierarchy or dogma, however attuned to delicate energies of connection and compassion. And I’d additionally add resilience.
From a symbolic sense, Magdalene’s knowledge is extra about inside listening and attunement. Laced all through, her voice speaks to our feelings as frequencies and to us—as power beings—having a human expertise. Love is the underlying theme of our narrative; the glue that binds us collectively. The place concern contracts vibration, love expands it. The place inflexible perception freezes resonance, direct expertise releases it. Alas, we will soften right into a heart-space.
Since then, we’ve seen no scarcity of fragmentation and divisiveness. The query is: Are we prepared to maneuver past the dogma, guidelines, and legal guidelines of spiritual doctrines towards a unity consciousness that calls us to tear down the partitions that divide us and to understand our connection, no matter the place we hail from?
The dominion Yeshua spoke of was by no means a spot however a state of resonance, even when they didn’t use this language on the time. You could possibly see it because the second when human frequency aligns with the deeper order of being. The miracles, metaphors, and paradoxes related with Yeshua could be seen as indicators of what turns into potential when resonance replaces resistance and when give up replaces construction.
Once I play my sound bowls at an occasion, I can sense the place power is caught within the physique, and whether or not it’s the tuning forks I typically use, or the bowls’ vibration alone, one thing shifts. I’ve seen this profound shift occur one-on-one and with a bunch. It’s as if the vibration of the bowls calls one thing into our discipline past this dimension and permits therapeutic to occur by opening the center and emptying the thoughts, the identical desired consequence we expertise after we meditate or stroll alone in nature.
Equally, in Buddhist and Taoist views, vacancy just isn’t absence however openness—a discipline of potential the place vibration can come up and dissolve. Resonance right here is common: the belief that the boundary between Self and the Cosmos is thinner than it seems. In meditation, when the chatter of our thoughts quiets, we don’t disappear however start to listen to extra clearly. We will hear our soul communicate to us, or as some wish to say, our Greater Self. In our guide, Magdalene refers to it because the true, genuine self.
From this attitude, religious progress can also be about attunement. The soul learns to resonate with subtler ranges of actuality. It’s not about escaping the world however about refining the perceptions we maintain as human beings. Musicians could resonate with this: studying to listen to the silence within the music. I virtually cried after I first heard this.
Parallels Throughout Traditions
Mary Magdalene symbolizes the intuitive knowledge of Sophia, which is fortunately re-emerging presently. In Hinduism, Shakti power is just like the Magdalene in that she/it/they symbolize inventive power and the female ideas as dynamic resonance—going with the move—being in move.
Currently, I’ve been studying fairly just a few papers and books that talk of how a lot Yeshua’s unique teachings overlap with Hindu and Buddhist teachings, together with the Taoist concept of concord. Throughout cultures and centuries, the language would possibly change, however the underlying sample comes again to resonance and coherence in our discipline, as felt within the physique. That is when profound therapeutic happens.
I speak quite a bit in regards to the significance of embodiment, largely as a result of I spent so a few years learning and studying (and I nonetheless do, btw). One factor I’ve discovered lacking is the embodiment of the ideas I used to be studying—with out embodying the information, they continue to be philosophical concepts, one thing we could perceive intellectually however not inherently know deep in our core. You realize the distinction, proper? Because of this you additionally see me reference vibration as felt within the physique over and over.
It’s our intestine instinct—we all know one thing is true after we sense and really feel it’s proper, not as a result of somebody advised us so. It doesn’t imply we will’t be taught from others and use their insights as a guiding mild, however the deepest knowledge will at all times come from inside. What you resonate with could not resonate with me, and vice versa, so every path is totally different and uniquely ours.
Understanding this will assist us perceive that, as power beings, our lesser-known sixth, seventh, and past senses do exist. It’s not pseudoscience to tune into the physique and take heed to its wants. The bodily physique (or aware physique) is our sacred temple, and in our always-on, scattered and fragmented lives, we regularly neglect this. Slowing down helps, which is why meditation, yoga, qigong, walks in nature and sound baths are such highly effective therapeutic pathways. After we decelerate, we will attune to the rhythm of our our bodies. After we take the time to do that as common observe, I’d add, we will acknowledge that each encounter is an trade of vibration and each alternative a tuning of the soul.
When one’s inside frequency aligns with fact, readability arises naturally. Have you ever ever observed that while you’re in concern mode, distortion follows? The religious path, then, is much less about reaching a vacation spot and extra about refining one’s resonance. It’s at all times in regards to the journey and the current second, is it not?
Ultimately, vibration is the heartbeat of existence, and resonance is the second we keep in mind who we’re at a soul stage. After we keep in mind, and we attune to our soul, the universe responds in type—not with phrases, however with music.
