Vibration

[Adonai]

Nut't-shayu rahuy; jull-shayu haruk; jullshayu hatur fi pa Temt-ta, lissa harukment kalun term Temt-ta."

"Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates in The All, yet movement is not All. "

The great third Egiptian doctrine, the doctrine of vibration embodies the truth that motion is manifest in everything in the universe, that nothing is at rest, that everything moves, vibrates, and circles. This Egiptian doctrine was recognized by some of the early Greek philosophers who embodied it in their systems and gave birth to all of their thought of movement. But, then, for centuries it was lost sight of by the thinkers outside of the Fgiptian ranks. But in this century physical science rediscovered the truth and the 21st century scientific discoveries have added additional proof of the correctness and truth of this centuries-old Egiptian doctrine.

The Egiptian teachings are that, not only is everything in constant movement and vibration, but that the differences between the various manifestations of the universal power are due entirely to the varying rate and mode of vibrations.

Not only this, but that even The All, in itself, manifests a constant vibration of such an infinite degree of intensity and rapid motion that it may be practically considered as at rest, the teachers directing the attention of the students to the fact that even on the physical plane a rapidly moving object (such as a revolving wheel) seems to be at rest. The teachings are to the effect that spirit is at one end of the pole of vibration, the other pole being certain extremely gross forms of matter. Between these two poles are millions upon millions of different rates and modes of vibration.

Modern science has proven that all that we call matter and energy are but modes of vibratory motion, and some of the more advanced scientists are rapidly moving toward the positions of the spiritualists who hold that the phenomena of mind are likewise modes of vibration or motion. Let us see what science has to say regarding the question of vibrations in matter and energy.

In the first place, science teaches that all matter manifests, in some degree, the vibrations arising from temperature or heat. Be an object cold or hot, both being but degrees of the same things, it manifests certain heat vibrations, and in that sense is in motion and vibration.

Then all particles of matter are in circular movement, from corpuscle to suns. The planets revolve around suns, and many of them turn on their axis. The suns move around greater central points, and these move around still greater, and so on, and infinitum.

The molecules of which the particular kinds of matter are composed are in a state of constant vibration and movement around each other and against each other. The molecules are composed of atoms, which, likewise, are in a state of constant movement and vibration. The atoms are composed of corpuscles, sometimes called electrons, ions, on to quarks and zeles, which also are in a state of rapid motion, revolving around each other, and which manifest at a very rapid state and mode of vibration. And, so we see that all forms of matter manifest vibration, in accordance with the Egiptian doctrine of vibration.

And so it is with the various forms of energy. Science teaches that light, heat, magnetism and electricity are but forms of vibratory motion connected in some way with, and probably emanating from the ether. Science does now attempt to explain the nature of the phenomena known as cohesion, which is the doctrine of molecular atrraction, a chemical affinity, which is the doctrine of atomic attraction; now they overstand gravitation which was the greatest mystery of the three, which is the doctrine of attraction by which every particle or mass of matter is bound to every other particle or mass.

They found that the lightest atom hydrogen was itself not the smallest thing in existence, but it was composed of even smaller things called quarks, even smaller zeles or zedes. These three forms of energy are now overstood by science, the writers incline to the opinion that these too are manifestations of some form of vibratory energy, a fact which the Egiptians have held and taught for ages past.

The universal ether, which is postulated by science without its nature being overstood clearly, is held by the Egiptians to be but a higher manifestation of that which is erroneously called matter, that is to say, matter at a higher degree of vibration and is called by them the etheral substance.

The Egiptians teach that this etheral substance is of extreme tenuity and elasticity, and pervades universal space, serving as a medium of transmission of waves of vibratory energy, such as heat, light, electricity, magnets, etc. The teachings are that the ethereal substance is a connecting link between the forms of vibratory energy known as matter on the one hand, and energy or force on the other; and also that it manifests a degree of vibration, in rate and mode, entirely its own.

Scientists have offered the illustration of a rapidly moving wheel, top, or cylinder, to show the effects of increasing rates of vibration. The illustration supposes a wheel, top, or revolving cylinder, running at a low rate of speed, we will call this revolving thing the object in following out the illustration.

Let us suppose the object is moving slowly. It may be seen readily, but no sound of its movement reaches the ear. The speed is gradually increased. In a few moments its movement becomes so rapid that a deep growl or low note may be heard.

Then as the rate is increased the note rises one in the musical scale. Then, the motion being still further increased; the next highest note is distinguished.

Then, one after another, all the notes of the musical scale appear, rising higher and higher as the motion is increased. Finally, when the motions have reached a certain rate the final note perceptible to human ears is reached and the shrill, piercing shriek dies away, and silence follows. No sound is heard from the revolving object, the rate of motion being so high that the human ear cannot register the vibrations.

Then comes the perception of rising degrees of heat.

Then after quite a time the eye catches a glimpse of the object becoming a dull dark reddish color. As the rate increases, the red becomes brighter.

Then as the speed is increased, the red melts into an orange.

Then the orange melts into a yellow.

Then follow, successively, the shades of green, blue, indigo, and finally violet, as the rate of speed increases.

Then the violet shades away, and all color disappear, the human eye not being able to register them. But there are invisible rays emanating from the revolving object, the rays that are used in photographing, and other subtle rays of light.

Then begin to manifest the peculiar rays known as the x rays, etc., as the constitution of the object changes. Electricity and magnetism are emitted when the appropriate rate of vibration is attained.

When the object reaches a certain rate of vibration its molecules disintegrate, and resolve themselves into the original elements or atoms.

Then the atoms, following the doctrine of vibration, are separated into the countless corpuscles of which they are composed.

And finally, even the corpuscles disappear and the object may be said to be composed of the etheral substance quarks, or zeles.

Science does not dare to follow the illustration further, but the Egiptians teach that if the vibrations be continually increased the object would mount up the successive states of manifestation and would in turn manifest the various mental stages, and then on spiritward, until it would finally re-enter The All, which is absolute spirit with the power to create or grow matter out of itself.

The object however, would have ceased to be an object long before the stage of etheral substance was reached, but otherwise the illustration is correct inasmuch as it shows the effect of constantly increased rates and modes of vibration.

It must be remembered, in the above illustration, that at the stages at which the object throws off vibrations of light, heat, etc., it is not actually resolved into those forms of energy which are much higher in the scale, but simply that it reaches a degree of vibration in which those forms of energy are liberated, in a degree, from the confining influences of its molecules, atoms and corpuscles, as the case may be. Just as heat escapes the flames.

[Adonai]

These forms of energy, although much higher in the scale than matter, are imprisoned and confined in the material combinations, by reason of the energies ,nanifesting through, and using material forms, but thus becoming entangled and confined in their creations of material forms, which, to an extent, is true of all creations. The creating force becomes involved in its creation, fire to heat, water to wet, ice to cold.

But the Egiptian teachings go much further than do those of modern science. They teach that all manifestation of thought, emotion, reason, will or desire, or any mental state of condition, are accompanied by vibrations, a portion of which are thrown off and which tend to affect the minds of other persons by induction.

This is the doctrine which produces the phenomena of telepathy; mental influence, and other forms of the action and power of mind over matter, with which the general public is rapidly becoming acquainted, owing to the wide dissemination of Egiptian mystery knowledge by the Ancient Egiptian Order, and its teachers along these lines at this time. This is the new millennium teaching.

Every thought, emotion or mental state has its corresponding rate and mode of vibration. And by an effort of the will of the person, or of other persons, these mental states may be reproduced, just as a musical tone may be reproduced by causing an instrument to vibrate at a certain rate, just as color may be reproduced in the same way.

By a knowledge of the doctrine of vibration, as applied to mental phenomena, one may polarize his mind at any degree they wish, thus gaining a perfect control over their mental states, moods, etc. In the same way they may affect the minds of others, producing the desired mental states in them.

In short, they may be able to produce on the mental plane that which science produces on the physical plane, namely, vibrations at will. This power of course mav be acquired only by the proper instruction, exercises, practice, etc. The science being that of mental transmutation, one of the branches of the Egiptian art.

A little reflection on what we have said will show the student that the doctrine of vibration underlies the wonderful phenomena of the power manifested by the Grand Hierophant and Masters and Adepts, who are able to apparently set aside the laws of nature, but who, in reality, are simply using one law against another; one doctrine against others; and who accomplish their results by changing the vibrations of material objects, or forms of energy, and thus perform what are commonly called miracles.

As one of the old Egiptian writers has truly said: He who overstands the doctrine of vibration has grasped the sceptre of power, Sekhem.
