Secret Teachings of All Ages: The Pythagorean Theory of Music and Color

Secret Teachings of All Ages: The Pythagorean Theory of Music and Color
Sacred Texts Esoteric Index Previous Next p. 81 HARMONY is a state recognized by great philosophers as the immediate prerequisite of beauty. A compound is termed beautiful only when its parts are in harmonious combination. The universe is made up of successive gradations of good, these gradations ascending from matter (which is the least degree of good) to spirit (which is the greatest degree of good). It is highly probable that the Greek initiates gained their knowledge of the philosophic and therapeutic aspects of music from the Egyptians, who, in turn, considered Hermes the founder of the art. While the early Chinese, Hindus, Persians, Egyptians, Israelites, and Greeks employed both vocal and instrumental music in their religious ceremonials, also to complement their poetry and drama, it remained for Pythagoras to raise the art to its true dignity by demonstrating its mathematical foundation.

Harmony and Proportion: Pythagoras: Music and Space Pythagoras (6th century BC) observed that when the blacksmith struck his anvil, different notes were produced according to the weight of the hammer. Number (in this case amount of weight) seemed to govern musical tone... See if you can hear the sound in your imagination before it comes, by judging from the proportions of the string lengths. The first one's easy. Again, number (in this case amount of space) seemed to govern musical tone. He also discovered that if the length of the two strings are in relation to each other 2:3, the difference in pitch is called a fifth: ...and if the length of the strings are in relation to each other 3:4, then the difference is called a fourth. Thus the musical notation of the Greeks, which we have inherited can be expressed mathematically as 1:2:3:4 All this above can be summarised in the following. (Another consonance which the Greeks recognised was the octave plus a fifth, where 9:18 = 1:2, an octave, and 18:27 = 2:3, a fifth;)

Transhumanism, Freemasonry and the Internet as God By David Livingstone, author of ConspiracySchool.com Pseudoscience It could be said that transhumanism is Freemasonry for the technological age. This agenda begins with the founders of Rosicrucianism, the sorcerer John Dee and Francis Bacon, who is credited with introducing the scientific method which opened the way for the Scientific Revolution. This vision of the transformative power of science has been married to the Kabbalistic idea of progress, which is deemed to provide the basis for man’s evolution towards becoming a more “perfect” being. This—the evolution of man into superman—was always the purpose of the ancient Mysteries, and the real purpose of modern Masonry is, not the social and charitable purposes to which so much attention is paid, but the expediting of the spiritual evolution of those who aspire to perfect their own nature and transform it into a more god-like quality. Later in the book, Wilmshurst further explains: Cosmic Consciousness Arthur C. Global Mind

About Sacred Geometry Introduction Sacred Geometry is the blueprint of Creation and the genesis of all form. It is an ancient science that explores and explains the energy patterns that create and unify all things and reveals the precise way that the energy of Creation organizes itself. On every scale, every natural pattern of growth or movement conforms inevitably to one or more geometric shapes. As you enter the world of Sacred Geometry you begin to see as never before the wonderfully patterned beauty of Creation. The ancients believed that the experience of Sacred Geometry was essential to the education of the soul. The Platonic Solids As far back as Greek Mystery schools 2500 years ago, we as a species were taught that there are five perfect 3-dimensional forms -The tetrahedron, hexahedron, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron. Sacred Geometry Geometric shapes actually represent the manifest stages of 'becoming'. The Energy in Action All types of crystals, natural and cultured. 1. 2. 3. 1. 2. 3.

The Mysterious Correlation of Light and Sound Major Chords are Primary Colors... ©2004 gootar - chords theory, By James C. Cranwell, 04/20/2004 Seven Colors in a Rainbow It is well known there are seven colors in a rainbow... Isaac Newton, a pioneer in the field of colour, passed a beam of sunlight through a prism. The spreading into rays was called dispersion by Newton and he called the different coloured rays the spectrum. Notice the first, third and fifth colors are red, yellow and blue. Seven Notes in a Scale Anyone delving into music theory knows there are seven notes in a musical scale. The mysterious correlation of light and sound. The first, third and fifth colors of the rainbow are Primary colors... red, yellow and blue. Something quite amazing happens when we tie all of this information together (that's Physics, Optics, Light, Sight, Sound, Hearing, Art, Music, Neuroscience) and line up the two groups of seven up together... Primary Colors are Major Chords! If you like this program and want your own copy...

Pythagoras and Music of Life Pythagoras & Music of the Spheres There is geometry in the humming of the strings ... there is music in the spacing of the spheres. Pythagoras From Egypt we move across the Mediterranean Sea to the Greek island of Samos, the birthplace of Pythagoras, whose ideas dominate most of the material in this course. We'll introduce Pythagoras and his secret society of the Pythagoreans. We'll look at the Pythagoreans' ideas about numbers, as a prelude to our next unit on number symbolism. Our main link between Egypt and Greece seems to be Thales c 640-550 BC, father of Greek mathematics, astronomy, and Philosophy, and was one of the Seven Sages of Greece. Raphael's School of Athens Slide 3-1: Raphael's School of Athens 1510-11. Janson, H. Pythagoras is shown in this famous painting, done by Raphael in 1510-11, which also shows most of the Greek philosophers. Socrates sprawls on the steps at their feet, the hemlock cup nearby. Plato's student Aristotle, the man of good sense, stands next to him. 2 Dyad.

Monroe's Astral Projection (This a document that is mostly a retelling of Robert Monroe's book "Journeys Out of the Body" Aside from these techniques the book also tells his own personal experiences with Astral Projection. I highly recommend reading Monroe's book if you have even the slightest interest in OBE's. -Jay) (Taken from Leaving The Body: A Complete Guide to Astral Projection, D. Scott Rogo, prentice Hall Press) One of the chief barriers people learning to project face is fear. Once you are aware that you cannot be harmed by projecting, you should begin Monroe's techniques, step by step. Step one: Relax the body. Step two: Enter the state bordering sleep. Step three: Deepen this state. The ideal state for leaving your body is Condition D. Step Four: Enter a state of Vibration. For entering into the vibrational state, he offers the following directions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. Even if you don't know what these vibrations are, you will know when you have achieved contact with them. Step five: Step six:

Knights Templar Major Update II: The radio hosts that have had Anthony Patch on their shows can no longer reach him after his encounter with the infamous M.I.B. His FaceBook page has been taken down as well as his YouTube Channel. Anthony Patch’s message on his FaceBook Page: I listened to over twelve hours of podcasts of interviews of Mr. Patch and did some other relevant research, so I hope that you enjoy the information contained in this very long article. Mr. Anthony Patch’s website: Anthony Patch’s Website On 20 December 2013, the UN General Assembly proclaimed 2015 as the International Year of Light and Light-based Technologies. Anthony Patch begins by explaining that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the largest and the most expensive machine ever created by man in recorded history. The main ring is the particle accelerator, which is 27 km or 16.77 miles in diameter. 600-Cell Tetrahedron Sphere = Universe How it is done. According to Mr. The Higgs Boson

The Real Relationship Between Sound and Color | TechnoChic blog We are creating an experience of synaesthesia in our project. So, accuracy is very important to us. However, there are many theories about the relationship and translation from color to sound. The most widely accepted theory seems to be from Newton’s Color Circle from his book from Opticks of 1704, showing the colors correlated with musical notes. Newton’s Color Circle Here are a few more examples based on his ratio: Other explorations of this relationship can be found here:
