Doors of perception

If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear … as it is, infinite.

"All matter vibrates and has a specific frequency from theorbiting planets of the Solar System to the electrons orbiting the nucleus of the atom. Since all matter vibrates, we know that each organ and tissue of the body have specific vibratory rates. The principles of working with sound in the healing process are resonance and harmony. As the sound waves enter the body sympathetic vibration occur in its living cells which help resonate and reinforce healthy organization. The high water content of the body's tissue helps to conduct sound and the overall effect is likened to a deep massage at the atomic and molecular levels. The human being is therefore likened to a very complex, unique and finely tuned musical instrument." -- Olivia Dewhurst-Maddock The Book of Sound Therapy Edgar Cayce, the "sleeping profit" and clairvoyant, was quoted as saying, "Sound will become the medicine of the future."

"It is an observable fact, based on hard data and clinical observation , that shamanic sound can profoundly alter brainwave activity and awareness. What is most compelling for me is the possible scientific documentation of shamanic sound and its effects on actual physical and microprocessor (such as genetic changes in the physical andneurotransmitter alterations)." --Tom Kenyon, M.A. Founder, Acoustic Brain Researchwhich scientifically documents the effects of sound and music on human consciousness Dr. Alfred Tomatis claimed, "the primary purpose of the ear is to recycle sound to recharge our inner batteries. Sound feeds us the electrical impulses that charge the neo-cortex of the brain, just as food provides nourishment for the regeneration of energy." --Joshua Leeds Sonic Alchemy: Conversations with leading Sound Practitioners

"The new science of psychoacoustics... the study of the effect of music and sound on the human nervous system. Research shows that music and sound can relieve pain, help stroke patients, and benefit other conditions." --Dr. Andrew Weil Eight Weeks to Optimum Health & Spontaneous Healing "Quantum physics and other recent research has shown us that our bodies are actually made up of energy vibrating at particular rate of frequency. So, since we are literally sonic, vibrating brings, it stands to reason that sound can be very effective, perhaps one of the most effective alternative healing modalities we presently have at our disposal." --Wayne Perry Sound Healer and Lecturer Dr. Ohno, a geneticist working with DNA sequencing, ascribed musical notation to the DNA code and found that the DNA of cells make recognizable melodies.

Child of God

I am a child of God. I came from the womb of creation.

-- Tao Te Ching 

Courage

Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says, I'll try again tomorrow.

As a Particle of Dust

As a Particle of Dust

Come let's speak
of our souls
let's even hide from
our ears and eyes

like a rose garden
always keep a smile
like imagination
talk without a sound

like the spirit
reigning the world
telling the secrets
uttering no word

let's get away from
all the clever humans
who put words in our mouth
let's only say what our hearts desire

even our hands and feet
sense every inner move
let's keep silence
but make our hearts move

the mystery of destiny
knows the life of
speck after speck of dust
let's tell our story as a particle of dust

~Maulana Rumi


Translation by Nader Khalili

The truth was a mirror in the hands of God.

The truth was a mirror in the hands of God. It fell, and broke into pieces. Everybody took a piece of it, and they looked at it and thought they had the truth. 

~ Rumi

Success

There are many aspects to success; material wealth is only one component. ...But success also includes good health, energy and enthusiasm for life, fulfilling relationships, creative freedom, emotional and psychological stability, a sense of well-being, and peace of mind.
