The Harmonics of Sound
Sound has been a source of divine inspiration since the
beginning of time and has been regarded as the very
foundation of creation by many traditions. Archeological
records indicate that all ancient cultures developed
orthodox musical systems based on a pentatonic scale. While
there might be a supernatural or metaphysical connection to
account for how so many far-flung cultures came to this same
conclusion, there is a very simple and down to earth
explanation for it as well. The notes were derived from the
naturally occurring harmonics inherent to sound itself.

The Rational and the Intutive
In our daily lives, each of us incorporates our rational
“knowings” and our intuitive “knowings” into a wholistic
matrix that helps us make sense of our world. It’s likely
that each of us leans a little more toward one way or the
other type of knowing depending on personal preference.

Dimensions - A Word of Many Faces
The word “dimension” is used very differently by the
rational sciences than by the intuitive arts communities. In
its most basic sense, the term “dimension” means “measured
out.” It generally refers to the measure of physical space
and that is how mathematics and the rational sciences treat
it. In the intuitive arts, dimension usually refers to a
realm of existence whether or not it occupies physical
space. So, the rational sciences community and the intuitive
arts community have a bit of an ontological disagreement
about this word.

Quantum - What Does it Mean?
The investigations that led to the development of
quantum mechanics began in the mid 1800s. It started as a
simple inquiry as to why heated objects glowed in different
colors. Today, the word quantum is popularly associated with
anything that accesses or pertains to an invisible realm of
subatomic particles which acts as a single entity and
cooperates with our intentions. Considering the vast
difference in the original and popular definitions, it seems
that the very word has made a quantum leap in meaning.

Non-locality and Entanglement
Einstein called
non-locality “spooky action at a distance”. He was concerned
that the early founders of quantum mechanics were
attributing the effects we see in the manifested, material
world to be initiated by non-local causes, meaning that they
were not measurable in the physical realm. Einstein’s entire
argument against non-local causes involves a condition known
as entanglement.

Einstein and His
Famous Equation
When most
people hear the name Einstein, the next thought is usually
his famous equation, E=mc2. Believe it or not, Einstein’s
Nobel Prize was not awarded for this revolutionary
discovery, but for his lesser known paper on the
Photo-Electric Effect also published in the same year. A
good deal of the confusion about Relativity Theory is that
most folks think it is one theory. It is actually three
different ideas submitted in three different papers. And
then there's that "speed of light squared" thing. What's
that?

The Power of a Curved Line Known as
Gravity
Since ancient times, many people have theorized why
things fell toward the Earth. The ancient Greeks, Newton and
Einstein have all dramatically expanded our understanding.
Even today, it is still a subject of debate as new
experiments may shed light on a topic that is as old as the
universe itself. Gravity is usually described as an
attractive force. But, that force is actually a by-product
of the power in a curved line.

Dancing to the Same Score
One of the most famous experiments in physics is a
simple yet profound example of the dual nature of light. It
is called the “two-slit experiment.” It was first conducted
by English polymath, Thomas Yong around 1800 and validated
the wave theory of light, overturning Newton’s corpuscular
ideas. Neils Bohr used it to develop the Principle of
Complementarity showing that light was both a particle and a
wave and no description of light was complete without
referencing both. It was also at the heart of Einstein’s
famous thought experiment called the EPR Paradox, designed
to show the incompleteness of quantum theory. One of the
most intriguing aspects of the experiment is that you find
exactly what you expect to find. It validates light as both
a particle and a wave. How can this be? Well, that is the
very question physicists have been trying to answer for over
200 years.

New Lightning May Affect Our
Psyche
Between the lower boundary of the ionosphere of the sky
and the ground plane of the Earth exists a cavity that is
continually energized by 40 million lightning strikes a day.
This energy makes the cavity resonate and creates an
electromagnetic (EM) standing wave that bounces between the
sky and Earth. It travels at the speed of light, as do all
EM waves, and circumnavigates the entire planet about 7.86
times per second. It is called the Schumann Resonance (SR)
and studies show that it likely plays a critical role in psi
activity.
