The Harmonic Principle by Which Time Becomes Music
"As Above, So Below"

by Michaele Alyras de Cygne


In the Tzolk'in, the Maya did an excellent work detailing the frequencies of the planetary and stellar cycles of our solar system, the Pleiadean star system and the Milky Way galaxy and the relationships between such cycles and their effects on cosmological reality, from DNA to the formation and evolution of universes and beyond to the codifying of what is regarded as the Logic of Spirit in Matter. They perceived their Model in the cycles and subcycles of the Milky Way and, (from the perspective of the galaxy being a fractal of the whole universe and the human being being a fractal of the galaxy), they could define the harmonic progression and interaction of such cycles on a day to day basis and determine the cause and effect of the movement of the universe within the measure of the human being on a daily basis, over periods of trillions of years, past and future, (for periods longer than this universe is old). When viewed from this perspective, their diagram of such cycles and their effects became a Calendar which reveals much more than a series of days and dates, names and numbers, it also reveals the harmonic relationships between sets and subsets of these celestial cycles and their effects on and manifestations within all aspects of human existence. It is regarded as sacred because it is not just a calendar, it is considered to be an universal Code of the harmonic unfolding and activity of the Energy of the Creator/Creatress investing Itself in manifesting and evolving all that is; it is a Key by which the harmonic energies of Spirit, the Archetypes of the psyche and the power of the stars which courses (as chemical energy) through our dna can be comprehended, harnessed and consciously directed to effect unspeakable transformation within the individual and throughout the Cosmos.


The Tzolk'in sonic translations operate on the principle of harmonic correspondence which is a cornerstone of esoteric philosophy, best summed up by the rule "as above, so below". Here is an elementary explanation of this principle:
Everything that exists, whether the thing is physical, emotional or spiritual, is the product of the movement (or "oscillation") of Energy between a positively charged pole and a negatively charged pole. This oscillation is called vibration. The speed of this vibration is called "frequency", i.e. the frequency is the number of times the fundamental vibration oscillates from one pole to another and back again in one second, (also called "cycles per second" or cps). In some schools of thought, the fundamental vibration of a thing is referred to as its fundamental "harmonic". All things are connected to all other things which have the same fundamental vibration as a consequence of their harmonic correspondence.

Let's ride this thought train a bit further and see how this Principle applies to the Tzolk'in sonic translations.


Firstly, the vibrations of physical things have relatively slow frequencies, astral [i.e. light] things have the highest physical frequencies and [astral energy] light is the universal bridge between the frequencies of physical things and the frequencies of emotional [psychic] and mental [spiritual] things which have even higher frequencies than light (and are, thus, nonphysical in Nature, [the upper cased "Nature" meaning everything that exists, whether physical or nonphysical, in all dimensions, everywhere]). Since all things are the product of vibration and all vibrations are the product of movement in measure, all things have some measurable effect on the universe in which they exist. The frequency of the musical tone "[middle] G" oscillates at approximately 780 cps; it is a thing which has a predominant vibration in the physical realm and effects the physical body in a manner which strengthens the body, stimulates the sense of taste, physical coordination, balanced metabolism and aids in the regulation of the thyroid. When G is multiplied by 2, the tone is raised one octave. Multiplied again by 2, the tone is raised another octave. Each of these subsequent tones is harmonically the same vibration, the only difference is the speed of oscillation or frequency; (the physical effects of the tone remaining fundamentally the same). Gradually, multiplying the tone's frequency by 2, the tone is raise octave by octave from the sound register to the cps of radio waves, then to the cps of television waves, then microwaves, then infrared waves, then light waves where the vibration which started out as the musical tone G becomes the cps of light which we see as the color blue; thus, every time we see Earth's blue sky, our brains are receiving not only the energy of the color blue, they are also receiving the energy of the musical tone G in an accelerated state and, since color is a physical thing, the physical effects of the tone G are the same physical effects of the color blue; (the tone G and the color blue have a direct harmonic correspondence). When this fundamental vibration is raised again (multiplied by two enough times), it oscillates in the range of ultraviolet energy, next, gamma ray energy, then emotional/psychic energy, (where it has the effect of promoting tranquillity, psychic clarity and protection) and, subsequently, mental/spiritual energy, (where it promotes self-awareness, increased intellectual capacity and wisdom). Thus, since the fundamental harmonic of the musical tone G is the same whether the tone is oscillating in the physical, psychic or mental frequency range, this harmonic directly effects the human being by strengthening the body, stimulating the sense of taste, physical coordination, balanced metabolism and the regulation of the thyroid (in the physical state or body), promoting emotional tranquility, psychic clarity and protection (in the psychic body) as well as self-awareness, increased intellectual capacity and wisdom (in the mental body), regardless of whether the musical tone G [below] or the color blue [above] is the direct stimulus.


Secondly, just as a ball on a string swung switfly in a circle begins to make a clearly audible, whistling sound as the speed of its cycles increases to a cps of the sound spectrum, the obits of planets and solar systems, stars and star systems (which all cycle in the same way as the ball) have a frequency that is also analogous to tone. Whereas these cycles are very slow from the "per second" point of view, if the numeric values of the frequencies of these cycles are determined and such values are multiplied by 2 [octave by octave] enough times, the corresponding musical tones of any planetary or stellar cycles can be heard. The relationship between the frequency of the orbit of a celestial body and its corresponding musical tone is harmonic in nature. Just as there is a relationship between vibration, tone and mental processes, there is a relationship between the frequencies of celestial cycles and physical, emotional, mental and spiritual processes. The Tzolk'in not only represents the frequencies of various celestial cycles, it also represents the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual effects such cycles collectively generate on the human being.




Finally, (although they are not physical in Nature, hence, not possessive of any quantitative mass, ergo not applicable to Einstein's Theory of Relativity [E=mass times the speed of light squared]), states of consciousness are also vibratory in nature, thus, they also have a fundamental harmonic basis. Hence, the [exponentially high] vibrations of states and aspects of consciousness have a direct harmonic correspondence with the [lower cps of the vibrations in the] psychic realm and [the even lower cps of the vibrations of] the physical realm. Thus, if the basic frequencies of a state or aspect of consciousness can be determined, the numeric value of those frequencies' cps can be lowered (by dividing by 2) octave by octave until the frequencies can be heard as musical tones --- when those resultant musical tones are broadcast by any means (musical instrument, computer, audio tape or CD), they stimulate the activity of such states of consciousness in all persons who are within the range of the broadcast and, (whether the person is hearing impaired or not), the energies of such states of consciousness are invested in the person's body and mind via the principle of harmonic correspondence; (i.e. the body processes the [sonically expressed] spiritual frequencies in an analogous form as chemical energy, thus enabling the brain to utilize this biologized spiritual energy to increase its capacity to process such energy and to interact with its environment from the perspective of the relative state of consciousness).

The Energies of the Cosmos are the result of the interaction of yang/active/electric and yin/passive/magnetic forces, thus, in order to be effective, the archetypal energies of the Cosmos translated into sound and/or light must follow this Rule. The most dynamic Tzolk'in sonic translations are those effected in stereo with the active tonal sequence completely on one track and the passive tonal sequence completely on the other track. (The trust's Tzolk'in sonic translations are as such.) The theory behind the Tzolk'in sonic translations is that, since these sequences are simply tonal reproductions of the interrelationships of the yin and yang of natural, universal, interdimensional cycles and, since the brain is a product of such cyclical interactions and therefore very interwoven with the subtleties of such and, since the brain naturally increases its IQ and neuronal interconnectedness when subjected to music which is mathematically designed to have such beneficial effects (e.g. the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart), the brain will be stimulated by these sequences to propogate the neuronal environment whereby we may become more Divine, in our minds, psyche's and bodies, by becoming harmonically attuned to the Way of the Intelligence of the Cosmos, to the Mind, Psyche and Body of the Cosmos. The brain [including, the "brain/computer" at the center of each of our cells, our dna] is stimulated by the interaction of these complementary tonal sequences to effect the stimulation of neuronal and other activities relative to a vast number of aspects of our being human, particulary to the aspects of Consciousenss of That that is called Divine. In other words, when the vibrations of the Cosmos pass through the individual in the form of sound they change the individual in a way that enables her to live more in harmony with the Cosmos and the forces which are operative in her personal life, thus reducing her stresses and [as in the case of the Tzolk'in sonic translations] improving her spiritual perception (relative to her personal spiritual/religious orientation) and her state of mind, emotions and physical health.


*********

The preceding is a brief explanation of the principle upon which the Tzolk'in and the Tzolk'in sonic translations are based. There are entire libraries devoted to expounding on this principle. Hopefully, with this simplified explanation, you now understand how these translations work and have a better idea how you can consciously and actively use them to enhance your life.
