Spiritual Math Pt. 4 – Harmonics
DaVinci was a polymath and had profound insights.
One of the keys to his wisdom…
Was his understanding of Harmonics.
This is Part 4, of the Spiritual Math series.
—
If you’ve been following along on the parts 1–3. We established a few things. Mostly, that everything reduces to the wave and the wave has two properties.
On and Off
Now we will explore, when there are many waves, how do they seem to relate to each other. Key points for this post:
1️⃣ | WHAT ARE HARMONICS AND OCTAVES
2️⃣ | HARMONIC RATIOS
3️⃣ | SHAPE HARMONICS
5️⃣ | HARMONICS IN NATURE
6️⃣ | RESONANCE
7️⃣ | WHAT TO DO WITH THIS?
Let’s begin…
1️⃣ WHAT ARE HARMONICS AND OCTAVES
At its core, a harmonic is synonymous with harmony.
Harmony comes from the word “harmos” in Ancient Greek.
It means order in the universe.
You can apply the idea of harmonics to physics, life, music or anything.
Because it is learning the harmony of all things.
Whether it was the Egyptians or the Greeks…
They emphasized that there was a harmony between nature and the sciences.
This is what the Vitruvian man represents.
Understand that man is studied not by tearing it apart.
Reality is not discovered by blowing it apart.
Things are most completely studied by observing how they come back together. How they harmonize. So when we say harmonic, it’s referring to a wave, but more specifically, how is that wave dividing itself into sections.
If you were to take a string and pluck it it will create a tone.
The sound will be related to the length of the string and where you pulled it.
When the two lengths of the string on either side are a simple ratio.
It will sound more in harmony.
When we’re speaking of an octave.
It is referring to a group of harmonic tones together to form a complete set.
An octave is a group of 7 notes, or 8 depending on how you look at it.
Where there are 7 unique notes and the first and last note are repeated.
The repeated note at the end makes up the 8th note.
So on a musical scale this would be..
C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C ←- The C is repeated and both part of this octave and it is the beginning of the next octave.
Congratulations, now that you understand the concept of an octave. You can consider that all things can be traced back to this pattern.
If we understand that reality is based on the duality.
The masculine and feminine binary code.
The octave represents the range in between those two opposing parts of the spectrum.
The octave is the container
You can apply this understanding to the light spectrum, period table, etc.
2️⃣ HARMONIC RATIOS
Now in an octave, we have the 7 base tones as mentioned and they can be looked at as fractional relationships.
Moving from the most simple, to increasingly complex.
When speaking of harmonics, we can be talking about a single tone like mentioned above.
Or the relationship between two tones.
There are many harmonics beyond these but these are the most common ones because…
The simpler the fraction, the better the sound.
Octave | 2 : 1 ratio
Perfect 5th | 3 : 2 ratio
Major 3rd | 5 : 4 ratio
Minor 3rd | 6 : 5 ratio
Major 2nd | 9 : 8 ratio
Minor 2nd | 16 : 15 ratio
Tritone | 45 : 32 ratio
If we use the standard musical scale mentioned before..
C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C
And we want to create an octave for example, this has a ratio of 2 : 1.
The two C’s form an octave because the second C is double the frequency of the first. Converting that to hertz. The first C would be 220hz and the second would be 440hz.
If we want to look at a perfect 5th.
The ratio is going to be 3:2.
So this would be C and G.
Where C is 220 hz and G is 330hz.
You get the idea…
They continue like this…
Now these intervals are commonly broken down into those that are more consonant or harmonizing.
And the others which are more dissonant and sound less pleasant.
Consonant
• Octave
• Perfect 5th / Perfect 4th
• Major 3rd / Minor 6th
• Minor 3rd / Major 6thDissonant
• Major 2nd / Minor 7th
• Minor 2nd / Major 7th
• Tritone
Now, this is just scratching the surface.
There is a whole study of music theory which explains a lot of this but I just wanted to introduce the idea.
That the octave is the container for the base tones or frequencies of reality. And then when these tones are played with each other they form certain harmonics.
These harmonic ratios then form the platonic solids, which then form matter.
So if everything is harmonics.
Where do we see it?
3️⃣ SHAPE HARMONICS
We can apply this to shapes an see how some of the common ones we’re familiar with, have harmonic ratios.
Take a circle for example. The ratio of the radius to the diameter is 1 : 2
An octave.
We also see the perfect fifth a lot in shapes too.
A 2 : 3 relationship
➥ Tetrahedron has 4 faces and 6 edges
➥ Hexahedron has 8 corners and 12 edges
➥ Octahedron has 8 faces and 12 edges
This is why you will often see common shape in nature.
They are harmonic shapes.
Like the hexagon.
Bee’s stack their honeycombs harmonically in hexagons.
Plant and animal cells also stack similarly.
While science wants you to believe that nature happened as one giant accident.
You can see with your own eyes that nothing is accidental, it’s harmonic.
If that’s true, where can we see it in nature?
4️⃣ HARMONICS IN NATURE
When matter emerges from the darkness it emerges through the vortex.
Which starts with the smallest point and then unfolds and unfolds into something bigger and bigger.
The sperm becomes a human.
The seed becomes a plant.
Now as this process happens, that unfolding doesn’t happen randomly.
It’s harmonically. Through the atoms.
They function like harmonic resonators, the building blocks of life. And when you observe nature it’s going to always folding in some sort of harmonic sequence.
This is most easily appreciated in a pine cone or a flower, but you can see it everywhere.
As above, so below.
Minds like Pythagorus or Keppler believed that you could even map the celestial orbits to these octaves and ratios.
Because again, everything spins harmonically.
Now if you’re familiar with the concepts of the astral body and the ethereal body, or these realms.
We can assume that the separation between those layers are harmonically accomplished as will.
What separates you from..
➥ Ghosts
➥ Angels
➥ Spirits
➥ Demons
Is the octaves that they’re resonating in.
We’re all occupying the same space, they’re just vibrating differently.
Same goes with each element in the period table.
All elements can be broken down into octaves of 7 tones. So can we use this concept to understand the less tangible things in life?
Like relationships…
6️⃣ RESONANCE
Now that we can think in frequencies and harmonics, we can even start to break down philosophical questions.
It may help us answer questions like…
➥ Why do you like a person?
➥ Why are we attracted to certain things?
➥ Why do certain things heal or destroy life?
Like will always attract like, regardless if it is above and below.
So tones of the same octave will always resonate together.
For example.
If you strike the Middle C on a piano.
All the other C strings above and below will vibrate, because they are in resonance with that frequency, just of a different octave.
Your friends, partner and the people are around you are there because you are in resonance on some harmonic level.
It could be a…
➥ Group of businessmen in resonance with money
➥ Couple that resonates in the same trauma bonds
➥ Athletes on a team in resonance with their sport
Now I get it… this seems like stating the obvious.
Duhhh.
But it’s easy to understand this concept when it comes to things you’re interested in.
It becomes more difficult to appreciate it when it comes to the bad circumstances in your life.
If you’re broke, in pain, etc.
The same is true.
You are experiencing these realities because you are in resonance with them.
You cannot be connected to something you are not harmonically in resonance with.
You and your struggle are creating music together, you just don’t see it.
And unfortunately…
It’s not Mozart type music, it’s nails on a chalkboard type music.
If you want to experience a different song.
You have to change the tune.
The tune of your mind. Pursue different belief systems, different information.
As Joe Dispenza loves to say…
Change your thoughts, change your reality.
And this happens because you are now in harmonic resonance with different music.
Look around you, what are the things in your life that are present but you believe you don’t want them?
Start to ask yourself….
What tones am I playing that makes me resonate with these realities.
It could be your sense of lack…
You don’t have enough x, y or z.
It could be your self esteem… fear of failure…
A million things.
Find out the why.
7️⃣ WHAT TO DO WITH THIS?
Well…
When you understand everything works harmonically it solves one major problem in all the sciences and in your life.
How to connect the dots.
It means that you no longer have to hunt for undiscovered things.
If you know that planets will unfold harmonically then you can simply map the points where harmonically, something should be.
Even if you do not yet have the tools to observe them.
If there is a particular disease…
You know that you can look for it’s resonant frequency, and use harmonics in order to destroy the disease.
This is what Wilhelm Reich understood and used in his inventions.
The same goes for Walter Russell.
In his time…
He had discovered several elements and their atomic properties simply from understanding harmonies.
Before they could even observe that they actually existed. It was later proven many years later.
All because he understood harmonic relationships.
So for you…
This should change how you operate because you know there is a divine pattern and if you align with it…
The energy output of your intention will be more coherent and productive.
If you run a business…
Is their a harmony in your prices?
Do your services harmonize together or do you have competing products that cannabalize themselves?
In your art…
Are you able to use blank space in your canvas, and harmonically separate points of interest?
Or is it just chaos?
In your home… are things separated and managed in a way that flows energy?
The language of Feng Shui…
You see, there is no where in life this can’t be applied.
Even something as simple as a synchronicity, is really a harmonic relationship between too perceived events.
What you notice when you see a synchronicity is the increased energy in the harmonic relationship between two moments in time.
Could be a pattern of numbers or similar sequence of events.
But they are harmonically linked.
When that happens, you can use that extra energy you’re sensing or dismiss it as a coincidence.
When you think about it….
Life is quite beautiful.
There is music playing all around you if you stop to look and listen.
When you watch the news, you are going to harmonically tune into the negative.
Turn it off and you’ll find more reasons to find the beauty in all things.
So apply this to your life.
If you allow harmonics to bleed into how you create….
You’ll create room for divinity to appear in your results.
