Imagine yourself in a great concert hall, sitting in a comfortable chair with thousands of people around you, listening as you listen, to a great singer. The singer is standing on the edge of the stage in front of you, and the colored lights are deep-hued and full and cross over before and behind one another dramatically. The bright, gay colors of the singers clothes go together in a striking ensemble. The colors compliment each other in a surprising but pleasing way. Perhaps there is a backdrop of every color of the rainbow.
The singer is singing a ballad or aria with heart breaking honesty.
The lyrics grab your attention and pull you along. Every new word
seems to fit in perfectly with the ones before it. The words are like
poetry, with a hidden rhythm and melody all their own which makes an
aesthetic counterpoint to the melody. Beneath this melody you notice
the rich, well tuned accompaniment, whose vibrations are soothing to
the body and the ear.
The singer is one you have known for a long time and have followed
their progress with interest and empathy, as you both now go through
the story that the ballad now tells. You feel as if you have gone
through their life as well as your own. You feel the giddiness of
their success and the chill of their failures. Now through the
microphones and their precision-tuned resonators come the dramatic
moment in the song. The singer holds the highest note and moves into
the rich "head tones," opening up the inner body in full surrender to
the music, so you can almost hear the overtones. The word is "LOVE"
and the musical note is one pure love as well. The sound of the word
"love" echoes off the walls and seems to reverberate into your ears
and into deepest space.
Suddenly you realize with all your heart what the writer of the song
was going through at the time it was written and you begin to cry,
not out of sadness, but out of amazement and wonder that the walls
have fallen between you and someone you never met. You found one
small way that you are just like that person, like two little
children who meet and find they have the same name. Then you realize
that the thousands of other people in the room are experiencing the
same song as you are at the exact same moment, and there is this one
way that you are just like them too. You feel a tangible vibration of
love between yourself and them. You feel the adjustment happening as
all of you begin to get into tune with each other. The difference
between the thousands of people melt away, and you begin to feel your
heart open up like a door to the world of your dreams.
The singer ends the song with a bow. It is the end of the concert,
and the audience jumps to its feet as one body and applauds and
cheers. You feel yourself floating as if in an ocean of love and move
along with the audience. The energy transports you to another
world.
Has this ever happened to you? If any part of this is familiar to
you, you have experienced resonance.
There is resonance in the lights and the colors of the performers
outfit and the colors of the back drop. There is resonance in the
sound of the accompanying instruments as the vibrating strings set
the sounding board in motion, and resonance in the echoes of the
hall. There is resonance between the words to the song. There is
resonance within your ear and in your mind when you hear and
understand a song. There is a different kind of resonance in the head
and throat and body of the singer and in the inner workings of the
microphone and a resonance the singer creates with the audience, the
way a bell will set other bells to ringing.
And what is the audience goes out whistling the tunes? Then in a
sense they set the whole world into song.
And sometimes we feel a resonance with the universe, and we perceive
our own energy system as being plugged into the whole universal
system and it feels like love, but it is impersonal and
unconditional. Resonance is all these things, but more than anything
else, it is what love feels like.
Resonance of this kind, like love, exists on many levels and in many
different forms. There is an earthly resonance between lovers when
the fiery light of passion is ignited in them. There is the resonance
of the emotions when we feel concern for another person. There is a
resonance of minds when we find someone whose questions are our own
and whose sense of wonder and imagination sparks our own curiosity
and understanding about life. And of course, there is a resonance
between each of us as a purely spiritual entity. All souls are sparks
of God, and if we consciously tune into that level of pure energy, we
find an infinite supply of love and blessings available to us. After
all, these sparks of energy exist in sound and light and vibration
and are always in communication with the whole via the cosmic sound
current. So who is there in the human form that is not soul in
disguise, and who it there that we cannot love? What is needed is to
become soul consciously, to become that being which is, moves and has
its being in God.
Resonance is also the name of a magazine devoted to beauty of all
kinds. Beauty in all the arts, in nature, science, ideas, but most of
all, in people. And the thing that is in people that puts the beauty
there and puts the curiosity there, the concern for others and the
passion, is the spark of love called Soul. Soul does all this through
our various vehicles; the mind, the emotions, and the body. And when
soul commands the body to pick up the pen, the brush or the
instrument, the beauty seeps out into the world, and Resonance
collects it up as an offering to the Supreme Listener of the universe
on behalf of all who wish to serve. Whatever your name for this spark
of being some call God, we invite you to join us on our journey, our
quest to explore the far reaches of the world of Resonance.
Like the Sirens of Jasons Odyssey, the field of Sympathetic Association, beckons us irresistibly toward the destruction of our own familiar vessels of security - stirring our imaginations into voyages that span the cosmos, then returning us once again to the hidden depths of the nuclear realm. As it illuminates our path, into those vast and seemingly incomprehensible dimensions as space and time, it serves to probe a truly Universal Force - the magnitude of which, staggers our finite perceptive abilities. And yet, this same Power seems to simultaneously demonstrate - by a means left to the individual interpretation of the reader - a kind of orderly, and conscious intent. It is at this juncture of cognition, this threshold of inspired understanding, that we find ourselves swept into ancient traditions - back to an era, where science and religion were the unified "Mandates for Passage," into the crypts of esoteric mysteries.
Sympathetic Association is not a path for the timid, since to broaden
ones knowledge, is to do so at the risk of extinguishing (in part or
whole) what may have taken a life time to establish. Yet, as
uncomfortable as this may be, it far outweighs clinging to inaccurate
convictions, that will inevitably cause even greater pain. As a very
wise and elderly woman once said: "when something has outlived its
usefulness, get rid of it!" (1) Like obsolete baggage, a researchers
views of the Forces in Nature, once outdated, must be cleared of
inaccuracies. And yet each new insight brings with it, the mixed
blessings of both positive and negative effects. As in most fields of
research, Sympathetic Association offers no "quick" and easy path to
the wisdom of Solomon. This brings to mind a passage from a discourse
between an Eastern student and his Master Teacher, it is as
follows:
Student: Master, does the road wind uphill all the way?
Master: Yes, to the very end.
Student: Will the days journey take the whole long day?
Master: From morn to night, my friend.
What then is the way? What path leads to the wisdom of Natures most
cherished secrets? Is there any credence at all, to the ancient
traditions set down in Hermetic and Kabalistic teachings? Are the
Alkahest, Philosophers Stone, and the Elixir of Life, as taught by
men such as Paracelsus, merely fantasies of ignorance? And, what is
the hidden meaning so long sought after within the sacred Hexagram -
the Star of David? These, and many more questions require not only
the modern knowledge of mathematics, chemistry, biology, and physics,
but the study of world religion and philosophy as well. In
considering the works of Hermes, Paracelsus, Pythagoras, Van Helmont,
Tesla, and Keely, (to name just a few) it may be important to ask
"What did they mean in their own language?," and "In what ways do
their teachings correspond to all others, in all times?" Sympathetic
Association does not simply require, rather it DEMANDS a knowledge of
the Universally Historical Traditions. And yet, in what universally
acceptable manner, would it ever be possible to set before this
society, a scientific system, the foundations of which, lie rooted in
the depths of ancient religious traditions? To that, only time may
tell. For the present however, it is enough to consider, the symbolic
representations of Akâsa, Light, Ether,
Electricity, Fire, Water, and Earth, as holding profound, esoteric
translations, which may well lead us into a future as yet undreamt
of.
Those who move into the dimensions of Sympathetic Harmonics, cross a
comprehension-threshold of no return. They stride the cutting edge
not only of new technologies, but of a new awakening - within
themselves, as well as within the race. And, as with any change,
there is an element of danger from forces which seek to prevent this
Right of Passage. These forces, which are possessed of both power and
wealth, have evolved through generations of exploiting crude, and
often thoughtless technologies. Yet as darkness differs from the
light of day, so does Sympathetic Association differ from that which
has gone before. For although this encompassing field is broad and
its potential applications limited only by imagination, its
underlying precept remains constant - that humanity is inseparably
bound to nature, which in turn, is inseparably bound through the
Principles of a Primary Energy.
In time, the application of these same Universal Principles, may grow
into new and wondrous technologies, such as those to one day drive
the coming global-industrial-complex. And at the heart of these
dynamics, will lie the rhythmic pulsations of tremendously powerful
engines - being keyed in unison, with the harmonic resonations of
those very forces that drive the star systems, yet simultaneously
charge the smallest of the nuclear structures. The field of
Sympathetic Association may well include forms of non-electrical
luminosity, lighting rural and urban centers with the brightness of
day - each point of light being independently sustained; the
purification, condensation, evaporation, and/or desalinization of
water - perhaps reducing to some degree, the extent of human
suffering; the transmutation of toxic chemicals and nuclear wastes
into environmentally safe elements - along with correcting what
damage already exists; harmonically deactivating fire - thus saving
lives and property; heating and cooking without fuel - that the
environments burden may be lightened, and those of lesser economic
station may be spared the biting chill of winter; viral and
biological disease treatment - through the dissociation of vital
elements within the attacking parasites; and, celestial vehicles of
the most flowing and aesthetic designs - having been released from
the bonds of gravity by the Great Laws, and propelled through
magnetically shaped fields at speeds far in excess of present day
craft.
Navigating by the charts of ancient mariners, while standing upon the
decks of modern science, the new explorers in the fields of
Sympathetic Association, will venture out into the power and mystery
of Natures Forces. While firmly clasping the riggings of humility,
objectivity, and reverence for all Life, these new mariners will bid
the Keeper "unlock the harmonic trove!" and thereby pass on the keys
to a new generation of workers. A generation whose hearts will remain
ever sealed, in Symphonic Unity with the Essence of all Creation.
