The Sound of Light
by Jonathan Goldman
The relationship between sound and light has always been fascinating. Many believe there is a one to one relationship between them. Many believe there is not. Some believe sound and light are the same thing. Others believe they are very different. This current blog is dedicated to this subject. After this initial writing, I will contribute other thoughts along with you.
The relationship between light and sound is most intriguing because both are measured as frequencies in cycles per second. Sound is measured from the ten’s to the ten of thousand’s of cycles per second. Light manifests as billions of cycles per second. Therefore, one way of viewing the relationship between sound and light is to assume that light is speeded up sound, or conversely, that sound is slowed down light.
The ancient Hermetic Principle of “As Above, So Below” is often quoted in regard to the relationship between sound and light. Mathematically, if you speed up a sound’s frequency by doubling it forty times, you come up with a frequency that is within the parameters of light. Conversely, if you slow down light’s frequency forty times, you have a frequency within the parameters of sound. The frequency of 518.7 cycles per second, which creates a note somewhat near what we call a “C” for example, when speeded up in this manner, falls within the range of what we see as a green. Or, when slowed down, this greenish colored light that vibrates at approximately 570 billion cycles per second. becomes that note “C”–at least mathematically. Very dark red vibrates at a frequency of approximately 430 billion cycles per second, which when reduced by 40 octaves becomes 391.3 cycles per second., creating the note of “G”. The spectrum of violet goes from light violet at around 690 billion cycles per second (which equates to 627.8 cycles per second, creating a note somewhere around a Eb) to very dark violet at about 750 billion cycles per =second. (which when reduced 40 octaves manifests as 682.4 cycles per second, creating a note close to an F).
The question is, while the above information is mathematically correct, is it true? Is light sound and vice versa or is this relationship very different.
To my knowledge, no one has ever succeeded in turning a sound wave into a light color without the use of a computer or some other instrument which can easily effect the relationship between sound and light by having specific colors assigned to specific notes. This does not mean there is not a direct relationship between sound and light, but thus far, no one has figured out exactly what it is.
When I first became this journey into sound over 30 years ago, I also begin an examination of light and the relationship between the two. As I delved into the subject I found that many different people had expressed very different understandings about the relationship between light and sound. Within the last twenty years, the most common relationship found between musical notes and their colors matches the notes of one octave with the colors of the electromagnetic spectrum, starting with the note C. Red = C, orange = D, yellow = E, green = F, blue = G, indigo = A, and violet = B. This is a very different relationship than the octave doubling relationship discussed previously.
It may be that color and sound are two very different energy forms or it may be that there is a direct relationship of color to sound. But it may be that this relationship is much more complicated than simply taking a note and bringing it up 40 octaves to the bandwidth of light. It may be that as sound goes up the electromagnetic spectrum, that as it changes energy, the mathematics become more complicated and different than simple doubling. Many years ago, I met a visiting scientist at MIT who was working on the relationship of sound to color and had developed a formula 4 pages long on this subject. I don’t know whether this formula was correct, but it is another indication of the extraordinary possibilities inherent in relating color to sound.
Is there a direct one to one relationship between sound and light? Is it purely geometric (being based upon the doubling of one to another) or is there something else? Are sound and light similar but different energies that can synergistically work with each other-with any sound carrying any color and visa versa? Or does a specific sound have to be matched with a specific color in order for there to be an effect?
I know that many of you are using some relationship between sound and light in your healing work. I invite all who utilize some relationship between sound and light to contribute to this blog.
In response to: John Stuart Reid
I think some of our thinking is a matter of semantics.
I personally do not see a separation between God and Man. I feel that they are one and the same. All be it, they may be a bit rough and a work in progress. I feel that man/women and all consciousness that exists on earth and in this 3ed dimensional galaxy are trying to become aware of their true nature whether they are humans or extraterrestrials.
I feel that all energy patterns have the capacity to become enlightened and merge back with their source.
I feel that the core belief system of most individuals may be that they have to die in order to become one with the Divine, I personally do not.
To quote a Sufi phrase “die before death and live now”. Once you move from the belief of what you think you are, you can become what you really are.
I think that most of these intellectual constructs of the mind are used to better help the Divine understand itself in this thickness of reality. The Divine is trying to see itself in another itself, whether it be in the wonder of a star or the laughter of a child.
I feel that all this chit chat that we are doing is trying to help us better understand our Divine nature as it exists in this thickness of reality. The more conscious we become of who we are and what we are made of, the easier it will be to function in this thickness of reality as Divine beings.
Eternity is a long time and God/Love isn’t going anywhere. We might as well enjoy the game and learn about our true nature as it exists in this time contineuum.
As for myself I don’t believe in time, I think it is an artificial construct of the mind, but that is a different story.
Much love

In response to Jim Atwell’s latest, I have a few thoughts to offer:
Light (or any frequency of electromagnetic radiation) has energy/intensity measured in electron volts but light has no temperature. Only a body with mass can have temperature and light has no mass. We sense the temperature of the sun because the atoms in our body interact with the sun’s light, absorbing it and increasing their energy states, (their rate and excursion of vibration in space) thus increasing their ‘temperature.’
Thus, our light body would be without temperature and would be spherical in form, not a ‘wave function’ as you have suggested. Let’s not confuse wave functions, which are human-made mathematical constructs, with the space form of pure energy, which is spherical and God made.
Orbs are an example of the spherical nature of energy and they appear to possess consciousness since they manifest upon request. Perhaps the ‘orbs’ imaged by digital cameras are the light bodies of souls that have passed? I have seen a digital photograph of an orb that had a beautiful ‘cymatic’ surface structure and it cast a shadow on a wall from the flash of the camera. This would suggest that the orbs can absorb light energy. If we assume that the orb is made of pure energy/light then can it absorb energy? If an orb continued to absorb energy then eventually it would become visible in daylight. Have any readers of this blog seen an orb in daylight?
Orbs always appear to be white in colour–all colors and frequencies blended together–whereas human auras come in many different colours and the colour changes with emotional state, as shown by Harry Oldfiled’s PIP photography. When we are ‘alive’ it is as if our energy state is highly variable whereas perhaps when we pass we become whole once more, pure white light and pure love.
With love and light,
John Stuart Reid
I was wondering?
Is there hard light and soft light?
If we percieve ourselves as light beings in a 3ed dimensional wave funcion could we consider our bodies as hard light?
As we perceive light is there a difference say for instance in the color orange created by the heat of a nova in the sun as compared to the orange of a pumpkin or the color orange in an aura?
Does light in and of itself have a temperature?
What about light that is radiated from the body? Is it a hard or soft light that is going through a metamorphosis by mutating and interacting with a life light form (our bodies) in a 3ed dimensional wave function or is the light just melting and diffusing after having been creaed by the body?
Just curious and thought I would ask your opinions.
Much Love

I think this has already been said, but I’ll say it again anyway: The answer to Jonathan’s question as to whether sound and light are the same depends on your frame of reference. If your frame of reference is the traditional physical sciences, sound and light are very different — magnetic vs. acoustic; particle vs. wave; eyes vs. ears; etc.
If you’re thinking harmonically or resonantly, sound and light have powerful similarities due to their shared properties of harmonics and resonance
If your frame of reference is centered around energy and intention, then light and sound are almost the same thing: energetic, cyclic carriers of intention.
So it seems to me that the similarities between sound and light depends on our frame of reference, which, in turn, rests on our intention.
Reply to John Stuart Reid
To a certain extent I agree with you. I think it depends on your point of view relatively speaking. As far as visible light, I think that Einstein proved, or rather predicted and it was later proved, that light is affected by gravitational fields. I think we may be talking about two different kinds of light here. Or at least that is what our filters are telling us. As far as personal experience goes I have noticed that as you ascend from zip code reality through the planes of light that the luminosity changes depending on what thickness of reality you may be interfacing with. I have also noticed that when you get into the consciousness of a light being that the information is passed on by what I call the magnetization of consciousness. You first get into phase with the being and then you breathe the being into yourself and become one with the being and any information that may be transferred by two or more of you, if you happen to be talking to a group is done so by the magnetization of consciousness.
I have also noticed that humans are also able to generate light. Similar to the experience that Jonathan related. About 10 years ago, after Sarah Benson and I gave a conference in North Carolina, we went to a cave in the south western part of Virginia near Blacksburg. We crawled and hiked with a few other friends about 1/8 of a mile underground through caverns and into a domed chamber. The Cave had wonderful harmonics. We then formed a circle and sang in absolute darkness for about 3 hours. Near the later part of the singing you could see the other people lightly and you could see the stars up above even though we were about 1/8 mile underground. It was truly an interesting experience.
I am sure that the light of the inner planes and the light of zip code reality are interconnected but I have not yet been able to differentiate where one stops and the other begins. It probably doesn’t matter unless you happen to be traveling on an inter-dimensional wave function. There is probably a transition point where light as we understand it goes through a metamorphosis and changes form, like ice turning into water, and goes from hard light to soft light and then back into no light at all which is the void or the receptor/creator of all light. I think it is all relative, lightly speaking.

responding to Jim:
If you are open to continuing “crystal talk” via personal email… estarwillow@yahoo.com
Reply to Jim Atwell’s question: “Are sound and light a particle or a wave or both?”
Sound is the passing on of periodic data via collissions between atoms and molecules. At all audible frequencies within this phenomena create bubbles of sound that expand at the speed of sound natural to the density of the medium. Bottom line: Sound waves do not exist. The term ‘sound wave’ is, therefore, very misleading.
Light also travels spherically, not as waves. Light is an entirely magnetic phenomenon, it is in fact modulated magnetism, a bubble of pure energy that expands at the speed of light. As it expands its leading edge vibrates in and out, minutely, like a leaf trembling in the wind, at whatever frequencies of light were created by the source. So the terms ‘Light Wave,’ ‘Radio Wave’ and ‘Electromagnetic Wave’ are all very misleading.
In my view the wave-particle argument only exists because of misinterpretation of data from the double slit experiment and other physics experiments. If one looks at the data with the idea that light is a wave then one will naturally draw wrong conclusions. Our filters work to deceive us. What I try to do is remove my blinders and open to new ideas and new possibilities. I’m working hard to cast my blinders aside. Some of the ideas put forward in this blog have challenged me in that regard and I’m grateful to all the contributors for refreshing my mind.
With love and gratitude.

0 + 1 = 2
To get back to our original premise of the relationship between sound and light, I feel that it is necessary to look at a basic premise in physics.
Are sound and light a particle or a wave or both?
To a certain extent the relationships of sound and light are leaning towards a unified field theory of consciousness.
You could express what we experience on the earth plane mathematically
with the equation 0 +1 = 2.
To further explain the equation you could represent the total unmanifested consciousness as the number 0 and then when it manifests its consciousness, that could be represented as the number 1, and then in order to understand creation, consciousness moves into the observer mode or duality represented as number 2.
You could look at this as the physics of consciousness.
Here we are at a dual point in consciousness, or at the 2 point, trying to figure out where the starting point or 1 point came from. In order to do that it is necessary to go back into the 0 point from which point you can determine if reality is a wave or a particle or both. The 0 point could also be interpreted as enlightenment or merging your consciousness with Love or going back to the Divine. You never really left this 0 point, you just pretend to be seperate. In fact it is really not a point at all. Maybe it is a wave. A God Wave.
Words get a little clunky when trying to explain things in linear terms. But to quote a line from a song by the Beegees,
“ It’s only words and words are all I have to take your heart away”

I have found that the crystals love sound and the more you get into their breath pulse the more they change. If you expect them to appear as crystaline forms, they appear internally as such when you get into their consciousness. If you let your preconcieved ideas go; such as to how crystaline structure should look and behave in a 3ed dimensional wave function, they will mutate and turn into a life/light body of both sound and color. If you have ever seen the northern lights, their internal structure looks a lot like that, as well as with the high tinkeling that you also hear with the northern lights. Also external size has little relavence as to the size they appear on the inside. I have found this to be true with people also.

Jim Atwell
Thank you for the continuing interesting conversation!
Jim I appreciate your comments about crystals and song that reach deep into my world as I find the crystals have definite response to chanting, toning, humming, singing. I also find they enjoy gathering in choral groups!
I find it is happening that the internal structure of crystals change…I am seeing more rainbows and whispy angelic figures forming in some of the ones I work with. I believe they respond to joyful resonance. So amongst the sound, light, harmonics and resonance – it appears emotion does play into the allignment response – responding to “everythng has a spirit” which the Indigenous Peoples have always known. I feel strongly the spirit in the crystals wants only to be acknowledged and to serve in Beauty – which is resonance of love, light and Music of the Spheres – CREATION.
This is how I see Jonathans sharing in the pyramid – the grounded essense of Sound and inner light that effected the surroundings to respond by lighting up as well.
Retiring recently to a pure and natural area, I have been finding great joy in the discovery of the level of response from nature that reaches out to co-exist when one tenderly approaches with respectful, acknowledging ways of Being…the natural elements are available for cooperative relationship! For instance, the sound of 100s of cicadas singing at dusk becomes the shamans rattle inviting one deeper into the mystery that is all around Sound…
Namaste. thanks for space to speak.
My Simple View
Similar to Consciousness /Thought and Energy/Intent being inextricably combined and thus creating the nature of reality, so, I feel Sound and Light are inextricably combined. A few years back, while studying Keylontic Science, it was brought out that Sound emits Light and Light emits Sound. Some of the posts here have touched on this very thought.
That teaching also brought out that sound was vibration and light was frequency. Furthermore, as one raises one’s frequency one’s vibration goes down. For me, a truly clarifying moment. While the mainstream would continually speak of raising one’s vibration to seek enlightenment Keylontic Science taught the opposite.
This new thought/idea resonated/computed with me completely. As one has a higher vibration the density increases. The ultimate example here would be a pathological criminal, a highly dense individual with very little Light/Connectedness. One the other hand a person Highly Spiritual would also be one of High Frequency (Light) and very little density. Perhaps the term Lighten Up may have even more meaning given these considerations.
The concept of Ascension may further add to the understanding since raising one’s frequency is key in Ascension. By de-materializing the human body, lowering ‘sound’ vibration and increasing ‘light’ frequency one may, albeit theoretically, achieve such a state. Increasing light frequency is easily done through meditation (lowering resistance) and/or by seeing the good/God in ALL, opening the pathway to Higher Self/Inner Being thus reconnecting with that wiser, older, greater Non-Physical Part….Who we really are!
When such a happening occurs, Direct Cognition and Absolute Knowing abound!

Food for thought. Check out the free voice profiling software at http://www.nanovoice.org. It’s really cool and was released by the pioneer of vocal profiling: sharry edwards.
Singing to crystals is quite a fun experience. I started doing it about 35 years ago. Once you get into phase with them they have a very nice high tinkling sound. Sort of the same sound a snowflake makes when it descends to earth through the atmosphere. I have found that after singing to the crystal, it helps to get into their breath pulse in order to have a more intimate personal experience, It works great with people also.

Thanks for your continued discussion of this sujbect. With regard to my experience in Palenque, sono-luminenscence (sound turning into light via crystalline substances) is indeed one of the possible explanations of what happened there. There are many other explanations as well. I appreciate everyone’s input.
Blessings of Love & Light through Sound!

In response to Jim Atwell,
I agree, we are God. I like your reference to spherical thinking too. All energy radiates spherically and we are pure beings of pure energy. Are we multidimensional beings? From one part of God to another that’s a BIG question, Jim. I usually need to be significantly detached from my left brain by ingesting some good whisky before my mind can float sufficiently freely to contemplate such matters. Or it sometimes happens when I’m waking up from a deep sleep, which is a healthier alternative.
In response to Jonathan, I conducted acoustics research in the Great Pyramid in 1996 and 1997. One of the experiments involved exciting the quartz-rich granite sarcophagus. The cymatic results included what appeared to be ‘hieroglyphs’ that appeared in the sand I had sprinkled on the membrane, stretched over the open top of the sarcophagus. The underlying mechanism, I concluded, was connected with electric charge patterns, stored in the quartz. The hieroglyphs, I believe, are naturally occurring patterns of electric charge, locked in the granite. In innocently released the patterns with a sonic key. I got quite a pleasant surprise 🙂
I mention this because quartz can give off more than electric charge when acoustically excited. Without getting overly technical, it has also been shown to give off visible light under laboratory conditions. I also know of reports of people seeing light inside granite ‘cisterns’ on Dartmoor, England, on dark nights, as the granite is pummled by the fierce winds. I wonder what type of stone you were surrounded by, Jonathan, when you saw the light? Was it quartz-bearing, such as sandstone?
John Stuart Reid
As with many things we are again discussing our experience in the relativity of consciousness.
You are looking at things as a duality or as a trinity of consciouness.
Are we talking of sound as the vibration of energy that we can hear or sound as the vibration of consciousnes that we can feel emotionally? It is necssary to come to a conscensus of the parameters of the reality we are talking about in order to to come up with a relative answer.
We can look at this duality of “sound and harmonics” intellectually and scientifically as something that is seperate from ourselves or we can look at it metaphysically as different aspects of ourselves.
Metaphysically as we tone or sing ourselves we gradually come into phase with other aspects of our own light/sound body that have remained hidden to our everyday experience and understanding.
The thing is that the human mind thinks linearly and in terms of duality. It would be helpful to train it to think spherically and think of itself as existing in more than one dimension and as being in more than one life/light form of existence at the same time.
It becomes a sort of a controlled schizophrenia.
The mind is trying to understand where it ends and the Divine begins. In the reality of the one, or you could call it enlightenment, there is no separation between you and God. You are already one with the Divine body, You have simply forgotten that you are God,
now that’s a nice relative.

Love to listen in to the discussion. An AUM in heart and mind from Holland.
Shapes have frequency……grain circles….etc.

Nicely nicely said, Jonathan, and very thought provoking. It seems to me that resonance is also an ingredient, here. I think of resonance as vibrations in one entitity caused by cyclic intentional energy from another. The most resonance occurs at the fundamental-to-fundamental level. Next is the octave, next the fifth, and so on up the harmonic sequence. Resonance also occurs at multiple harmonics simultaneously.
If you believe that resonance occurs harmonically, then resonance can occur at thirty or more octaves. This would mean that the creation of sound at an audible frequency could excite atoms at frequencies 30 or more octaves higher, and so create light.
This is casual science, I know, but I think that’s what happened in the Mayan temple where you were. Your intent and practice, and the intent of those with you, were also powerful contributing factors.
Dear Friends:
The response to the current blog topic is remarkable and truly appreciated. There are so many varied approaches to this subject of the relationship between sound and light..
I’d like to suggest that in addition to all the other ideas that have thus far manifested in this blog, with regard to sound, there is also the aspect of harmonics. Thus, if we do have a one to one relationship between a particular sonic frequency and its light counterpart, we still need to take into consideration the harmonics that are being generated by the particular instrument that is sounding the fundamental frequency. Different harmonics, (called “formants”) are most prominent in different instruments (which give them their timbre or tone color).
If there were truly a one to one relationship between sound and light (as an example, an “A” note vibrating at 440 Hz.) and that note was known to correlate to a specific color, depending upon which instrument were playing that “A” note, the different instruments that hit this note would all create different colors depending upon the most prominent harmonics that manifested. This is because the different harmonics would also generate different colors. Much more could be written about this, but I simply wanted to bring up the importance of harmonics with regard to the relationship of sound and light. I would like to open our discussion to include this.
And one last thought—many years ago, I had the experience of creating a sound in an ancient Mayan temple in Palenque, Mexico during the Harmonic Convergence and having light emerge as a result of this. (This is discussed in greater detail in HEALING SOUNDS as well as SHIFTING FREQUENCIES). I believe the light that was created was a result of my producing a sound with strong harmonics that resonated not only the room, but also my brain and higher chakras. . It was an amazing phenomenon. I’d just like to relate that the light that produced was not a colored light. What occurred was that the room I was sounding in became slightly illuminated after the sound. I was with a number of other people. Before the sound, we had been in total darkness and after the sound was created, the luminosity was enough so that those in the room could just minimally see each other. Previously, all we could perceive was total darkness. What happened? What was it that occurred?
From my perspective, it was not necessarily the occurrence of sound turning into light, but rather the experience of sound creating light. There is a difference. Perhaps, the sound stimulated my pineal gland and that gland created luminosity through the various neuro-chemicals in my brain—such as melatonin and that activity actually generated a visible light. That’s just one thought. There are many different possible explanations for this experience. Perhaps this might also be included in the discussion.
Thanks again for all your contributions.
Blessings of Light & Love through Sound!

Hello,
Thank you Jonathan for the invitation to be here with the inner workings of the Temples of Sound and Light.
I have read all posts and look forward to continuing staying in touch here though many of the technical talk is over my head…I feel I am mingling with the Masters!
My experience of sound and light as one is as essence through a multidimensional experience around the time of Harmonic Convergence. One day, my world, in a moment’s flash became a doorway of fragmented prismatic brilliant multicolored shards which brought my body to the ground and my spirit in flight.
My consciousness returned when I landed on a cliff somewhere in an atmosphere filled with a sharp, crisp, clear, crystalline sounding of rainstix and crystal chimes. The light surrounding me was equal to the light that filled me. My Being was now a tall, willowy light Being with similar features to human, but just spirit and light housed inside a very thin casing.
Another Being joined me and there began transfer of communication through telepathic means travelling on music notes. It was exquisite! I became aware of a puebloan village below us with many other Beings present. I began to hear their minds as music – blended perfectly with the atmosphere yet distinct as coming from individuals. chimes, rainstix and light laughter carried through in sweet melodic waves that wrapped my entire Being in incredible joy, light and love!
20 years later, I continue to get sporadic “tune-ups” from this soundlight source through prismatic doorway that take up my vision for 10-20 minutes leaving the world much sharper and crisper afterwards.
This imprint is in me deeply…it is always there is a sense though I have not been able to do anything about expanding it or anything of my will to connect. This is my sacred mystery to unravel – this key of sound and light together as one as I have experienced it.
I live steeeped in the quartz crystalline energies where the EarthMother houses the crystals. My favorite sound instruments are C note tibetan bowl and B note crystal bowl – heaven on earth.
Perhaps one day I will have advancements that I can speak of here.
I look forward to learning from all of you and am grateful to be here!
Namaste.
Elise
p.s. so good to see you Barbara Hero!
Thankyou for your inspiring work Jonathon.This is a wonderful discussion.
I have been practising & teaching Yoga for 16 years & I am also a Jazz singer & Mandala artist. I have been trying to combine sound & colour over many years of teaching & practising, & I have realise I have been doing it all intuitively. I believe without any scientific knowledge, that light & sound do work together in healing. Over the last few years I use light & colour in the meditation part of my Yoga class. It is very powerful & I believe like you do, it needs to become a part of all of us with the whole universe, as “one”. I have not long realised I can create harmonics with my voice & I continue to learn & explore light & sound. I will keep in touch
in peace, love & light

Hello Makere,
I am also moved and inspired by what you have just written. I have a feeling that the ocean holds many keys that we are all searching for….it is already a noosphere because of the brilliance of its creatures, and I’m sure holds many many memories of how all this works. I heard somewhere that the Maories consider the ocean a giant crystal. Have you heard this?
I’m fascinated with the Maori perspectives on light, sound, and water, specifically oceans. I have been granted a commission to write a chamber orchestral piece on the OCEAN and would like to approach it from the Maori point of view…sorry everyone if this is off the subject. But I’d be so grateful to speak with you. my email is: xjander@got.net if you want to respond directly, but perhaps the group would also be interested.
Thank you! – Susan
I am enormously grateful for this discussion. Onde of my particular interests in sound (and look forward to the day when I can explore this in depth) is the ways in which it was once used purification, eg of various forms of pollution. Its my conviction that it can be applied to purify polluted bodies of water, for example.
I am informed by our belief as indigenous people (I am Maori and Scot myself) that the existence was created through sound – sung into being..
The discussion here has implications in that direction and I am moved and inspired by it all. Yes, this has to do with light, and with proportions, and also with the fact that the very cells of our bodies communicate through sound. And yes, signing back to the stars!
Much love
Makere
So this brief note is to say thank you!
As with many things, reality is relative.
All things have a relationship to one another and they are experienced because of their relationship to one another.
Sound exists because of its relationship to silence,
Light exists because of its relationship to darkness.
We experience most of our reality in a duality and we are using our minds to compare one thing against another.
We live in a reality of thingness, which has its opposite in no-thingness or the void.
The void has its own relative reality issues, mainly that it is related to all of reality or manifistation.
As with most relatives it is fun to visit from time to time, but it is also nice to come home,
Relatively speaking.
much Love
Jim Atwell
What great responses!
John Stuart Reid is, of course, absolutely correct: Sound IS electro-magnetic. In the body phonon chains prdouce EM resonances and even manifest bioluminescence. The variable “light” frequencies and “colors” of such radiations are virtualy impossible to categorize — as acoustic wave form, timbre, amplitude, tissue interface, et al affect the propagation and secondary, tertiary outcomes.
If we view the person as a multi-dimensional entity, that is, physical/material, mental/psychic, and spirit/Light being — 3rd, 4th, and 5th-dimensional beings, respectively, then we understand that each “per-sona-lity” responds differently and interactively with all others.
For example, certain Angstrom counts of “red” in topical applications may stimulate, perhaps heat, the skin tissues. (In fact, all sound is “thermal” energy.)
Similarly, on the “base chakra” that same color may activate the “kundalini” or “tantric” energies originating in that plexus, which obviously link with the spinal column, the meridians, the overall serum flow and electrical force of the whole body vibratory system (WBV).
On the psychic level red may stimulate the libido, the passions, prdouce strong emotions, strengthen one’s drives and endurance, etc. Contrarily, red may also evoke anger, irritability, create resistance, confusion, et al.
In addition, there are “basic” relationships of sound with the same tripartite personalities and overall color functions.
For example, all life, all growth, begins with the “binary” pulsation of “2.” This ebb and flow, stasis principle, may be described as Yin/Yang, male/female, negative/positive, darkness/light, systole/diastole, etc., and is well exemplified in cell division, the fundament of energetic, Synergetic, sacred geometric formation, directly applicable to biological processes.
The “binary” pulse is the octave, and mathematically a 2-pulsation. Two pulses per second is the frequency “C.” In octave growth 2 becomes 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, etc. Hz.
(Barbara Hero’s 256 c.p.s.)
“2” is the “base-pulse” fundamental. Its “root” is “1.”
This binary frequency, just like the color red, also stimulates the “base chakra”; thus, we have a fundamental correspondence between light/color and acoustical wave front propagation. The frequencies, of both color and light, affect the body, mind, and spirit in similar myriad ways. (Note that we may also “pulse” the red light, say at 2 Hz.)
Moreover, as stated, all frequencies are essentially “binary” in that they are simply “octaves” of lower, base-pulse-tone, fundamentals. This includes light frequencies which may be categorized as octave ranges of tone/hue/saturation. Such relationships, scientific and aesthetic, synaesthetic and mystical, are propadeutic “keys” I use in my R&D re: sound and color therapies, and as discussed in my recent book, SONA: Healing with Wave Front BIOresonance.
Re: Ultrasound. Wrong range, harmful, antiquated. The lower pulse-tones are the healing tones. High frequencies destroy (Clark).
Re: Angles. All wave front angulation begins with 60-degree mesnuration (Fuller).
Re: Astrology. This is from the ancient Enochian/Essene/Therapeutic schools, e.g., where Pythagroas studied (Mt. Carmel with the Essaei prophets, Alexandria with the Theravedas and Therapeutiic Essenes, with Zalmoxes and the Thracian schools/Chaldean). The cosmic, solar, terrestrial frequencies are all governed by the same universal principles…thus, astrology is only valid within that scientific definition, which is absolutely real.
The greater science is that of Photo-Syntonics wherein we use frequencies of light, color, and sound directly in the eyes (and nervous system/meridians/fields, thus contacting all parts of the tripartite entity — and very much directly with the pineal and pituitary, all endocrines, higher fields, ad infinitum.
Consciously, sound and light are wave fronts — as is all consciousness in universe. The frequencies create an Image. Within that Image are the hidden motion between the nodes, the Word. Therefore, Intent, functioning as guided imagery, seeks to experience the Word emanating from the Image. This is the sacred art and science.
My stochastic thoughts on all the above for now.
Love & Light,

When I posted my comment about God I had hoped to start a lively discussion. Instead THE VOICE OF SPIRIT answered and spoke to us all in the intimacy of one lover to another through Jim Atwell’s poem. We have been Greatly Blessed. Namaste.
Jim Atwell,
Thanks for sharing your lovely poem, which I find very moving. Is it entitled “My Song is Love” or The Song of Creation?” Either way it should be out in the world, if isn’t already.
John Stuart Reid
I am not a educated person – no special credits or diplomas. I do not plan on doing a research as such on Sound & Light. I am interested, however.
I am coming from a Spiritual aspect of my Being to become aware of both Sound & Light. In my Spiritual Journey of some 27 years – I have come to know my self similar to Socrates quoto of “Know Thy Self.” All our answers are contained within us – our Creator has given us many gifts and tools. We need to discover or re-discover just what we have.
For me ( unproven fact) I associate Sound with my body and Soul, and Light with my Spirit. Both Soul and Spirit maybe considered one and the same, however I think and know they are vastly different. My new paradigm is Light and Sound – a new source and connection for Soul and Spirit. As I mentioned before – I do not wish to establish the connection, I just know there is a connection. So be it.
P.S. I like to follow Einsteins theroy use your imagination – it is more important than knowledge.
Sound and Light/Colour are Different Forms of Energy
Different colours have been assigned to different notes, with devices like light organs.
No one has been able to take one sound frequency and increase it forty octaves without putting it into computers that change its sound wave.
As the frequency increases the sound will enter a different energetic state. Sound would turn into many different types of energy such as heat before it became light.
Assigning specific colours to specific tones may be an oversimplification of a process we do not yet understand. We can link any colour to any frequency.
This is my experience in workshops. Different people see the same note as different colours.
Good Evening All,
Thankyou Jonathan for this Forum opportunity…
Step up and stepdown transformers between sound and light have been used for millenia…
Transmission by frequency requires this technology.
There are many versions of this this technology…
from Sumeria and Egyptians to the Toltecs and Pheonicians, more recently, including NASA, and the Military.
( Lasers, Masers Weapons, Pulse Guns, Etheric Trigger Devices are all based on these very same principles.)
The Humble Solar Cell can give you a select frequency of energy translated to cyclic pulses@ cycles per second…
The process already exists in nature where Sunlight is synthesized to nutrients particularly Sunflowers and Plankton ( also a frequency)…
The Humble Firefly and the Glowworm exhibit a resonant frequency to produce light (and colour) in much the same way.
The corrolation of Colours are indeed clinically proven to be uniform between several dfferent persons in study undertaken about the chemical Triptomine DMT where an induced frequency or note does indeed have a corrosponding colour- these have been documented already.
The real question is how the information and knowledge is to be protected and used for the greater good…Experimentation and Weapons without the application of Spiritual Law is forbidden in many Cultures…
Much of this information has been protected for Centuries by Shaman, Holy Men, Sages, and Traditional Medicine Men.
Before we get too carried away with the Science and Maths and Wow factor… just spare a moment to realise the responsibility and consequences and results of this “research/discussion Blog”…
I am happy to responsibly assist.
Many Blessings,
Cameron.
Ah, the never ending search for the God particle.
From form to formlesness; where do I play?
Shall we dance together in the melodies of the mind.
Or shall we dance across a darkened sky with stars to light our way and the music of the spheres our melody.
I am the light of the Breath.
Come; breath me, play with me, become me.
My song is Love and my form is formless.
I am you; the song of creation.
with much Love
Jim Atwell
Hello Susan Alexjander,
I look forward to the day we meet. Your approach to the natural world in which you search for “proportions that are exciting, beautiful and instructive” is very much part of my life’s work. My colleagues and I are using cymatics to study the frequencies of vibration that underpin creation: music, not in the audible sense but in the ratios and proportions inherent within the architecture of sounds when made visible. The song of Mother Earth, a whale, a dolphin, a nightingale, a cricket or the sounds of the planets, as monitored by the Voyager spacecraft, all exhibit great beauty.
In fact, every sound in nature contains beauty, even sounds that would not generally be considered beautiful to the ear. And when we realise that all the beautiful sounds of nature have an electromagnetic component, the same beauty that we observe cymatically is radiating away from the source of the sound, carrying its beauty into the Universe as modulated infra-red light.
If we sing to a star, our song will reach that star, someday.

Barbara,
Concerning a table of the angles of nutritive elements in the periodic table, I know of no such chart but the concept is fascinating.
The underlying principles of sound healing have not been identified, despite the fact that ultrasound, as a therapeutic modality, has been used in clinical settings since the 1950’s. I sense that the mechanism will be connected with sound’s ability to create form in microscopic realms, possibly permitting challenged cells to access nutrients where, prior to the sound, the ion channel ‘doors’ were closed. Cells can exist in a sleep-like state, alive but not fully functional. Sound, it appears, when properly applied, can act like a magic wand, awakening the cell from its slumbers and returning it to normal function. The question is, how? Let’s have a phone conversation. Jonathan has my details.
John Stuart Reid
John Stuart Reid,
How would you acquire a table of the angles of nutritive elements in the periodic table? Is there such a chart? If so, this avenue might relate to the healing nature of harmonic sounds and light.
Barbara Hero
Hi Jonathan, et. alia.
Thanks for sending your blog around, Jonathan. Looking into it for the first time just now, I am struck by a certain similaraity between the technical discussion of the Sound/Light connection with other discussions I have noted and been a party to.
There are always those who, for very legitimate reasons I’m sure, want to find the exact Newtonian cause and effect relationship between the means and ends of various practices. This is what I take from the conversation here mostly between John and Barbara.
In a sense, this is the same sort of discussion that takes place in certain circles in the field with which I am most familiar, astrology. There are those who look for something that is the measurable carrier of the planetary and Zodiacal elements and the effect that they seem to show in lives. The same may be said for the field of healing. Some people will always want to know how the healing worked, and consequently they search in the realm of quantifiable material measurement for the answers.
While the technical details of the Sound/Light connection are no doubt enlightening, for those who have some basic grasp of the discussion, I cannot say that I am one who does. Most of it is way over my head, but interesting nevertheless.
Because of my astrological interest in the Harmonic Concordance and the three specific conscious focused intents of it, I am much more interested in a discussion of the question that Gary posed in regards to Intent and focused Consciousness: “…Is the Intent a regular, unbroken, sinusoidal flow — or is it dominated by intellect, egotism, emotions, etc?”
Specifically, I am interested is tapping into anything that can enhance and amplify those three intents, in particular at this time in mankind’s sojourn in this realm. The idea that sound healing could encourage the actualization of those intents is what brought you and me together in the first place.
The Concordance “Frequency” is, till to this day, still reverberating. Next month will mark the 5th Anniversary of that Concordance Grand Sextile Total Lunar Eclipse moment. The chart for that anniversary date suggests that it will be a very powerful day to recall the conscious intents of that moment…which in turn brings me here.
If I may be allowed a moment of shameless self promotion, might I suggest a trip to the new Harmonic Concordance Blog, also at WordPress.
(harmonicconcordance.wordpress.com) Much of the astrology of the Anniversary is discussed there, as well as a few musings about assorted topics related to Consciousness.
Johnny
The comments so far have focused on an analytical approach to sound. But what about the metaphysical approach? In the original posting Jonathan stated that one way of looking at sound is that it is slowed down light.What if we asume that God is Light and go back to Genesis: And God said ” Let there be Light”. God SAID. The method of the creation of light was sound, THE WORD. But this created light on a particular plane of experience which is generally asumed to be the physical visual plane, that is ,physical light was created as a thing out of sound. This would imply that the plane of physical things has a similar but different vibration to the vibration which created it. The denser the object the slower the vibration.Therefore physical light is slow sound –The Word–which originated out of slowed down”God light”– and physical sound slows even more to vibrate at the rate of tangible physical objects. This would also agree with physical creation comming out of the Sacred Sound of Sanscrit seed sylables.
This is a multidimensional approach to light and sound in which each creates the other at a different vibratory level. God –light slows down to sound. Sound is then the “light” which slows down to create physical light.
Hi – I see some old friends here…and hopefully new ones.
First to Monifa,
Fabulous response….yes! It is about discovering the ‘new’ imaginal world and how to create with and respond to it. Mr. Coltrane was such an extraordinary example of this….burning up the edges to….?
And for John Reid whom I have yet to meet, I would answer that as an artist (musician) I use the light/sound correspondances to hear processes in the natural world which occur on micro or macro levels too unavailable, either because I can’t actually hear them, or because they are first electromagnetic. I’m looking for proportions that are exciting, beautiful and instructive. If there is an octave in light, no matter what the pitches, then that’s useful as a concept (the original mystery!) and as a sound that can be heard and reproduced. A collection of electromagnetic frequencies mapped to corresponding sound is full of information about that original “world” and finding harmony within it. Because I don’t deal directly with ‘healing,’ the exact pitches are not as important to me as the music. What counts is the collection, and relationships within them. For instance, if a collection of light frequencies abounds in perfect fifths or phi ratios, then by god something amazing is going on. (The elements hydrogen and helium are related by a P4th or P5th through Larmor frequencies from their nuclei). If the collection is a tight microtonal cluster, then that communicates another concept, etc. The artist, in the end, gets to choose which sounds to play with, and after almost 20 years of doing this I see absolutely a most beautiful, sentient matrix of creation.
Lastly I love the Aramaic version of the word SHEM: usually translated as “name,” in a sacred setting it also means “Name, light, sound, and atmosphere.” The Aramaic way (Middle Eastern in general) is that things usually have more than one meaning at the same time. We often have to struggle with our Greek heritage of discretion, and would do well to also remember this holistic, sacred approach.
Looking forward to more….
Susan
This discussion is fascinating to me.
Perhaps as receivers and transmitters of energy, we are constructed to be that instrument to turn sound wave into light color and light color to sound wave.
What I am interested in is exploring the possibilities of unlocking this capacity in us. When we can move between being closed, self-absorbed systems and open, inclusive systems, then perhaps we will be able to heal ourselves and others through our capacities to manipulate light and sound. A new age, indeed.
I began thinking about this after studying the work and life of John Coltrane. I believe John Coltrane was on the verge of allowing this to take place in himself, and that his retreat into heroin was a symptom of his fear of the consequences of breaking through in this way. Clearly, he understood something critical about sound, consciousness, and redefining/ rethinking human capacity.
I look forward to reading more.
Jonathan, great question! I think that sound and light are related because (1) they are cyclical, (2) they manifest electrically and cyclically in our bodies, and (3) they can both be arranged harmonically. I suspect that the same harmonic principles apply to both. I wonder, for example, what a light frequency ratio of 5:4 in the visible spectrum looks like. How about a “major triad” of 3:4:5?
I also suspect that the relative effect of a given pitch, whatever the effect or pitch, can be reinforced by displaying a color that is an “exact” octave count above that pitch, in the way that Jonathan was outlining in his initial entry. The reverse is probably also true.
I’d extend that to other frequencies, as well, particularly those that have the ability to entrain body rhythms like respiration, heart beat, brain waves, etc.
My sense is that cyclicality and harmony are the key — vibrations, no matter where they occur, are probably related. So sound and light aren’t the same, since different things are vibrating. But they’re related because they’re cyclic and can be harmonic.
John Stuart Reid,
Yes, I would like to continue this discussion directly.
Barbara,
I applaud your inspirational approach to the seven rays. It would be a new discovery in physics if a relationship could be shown to exist between the seven rays of the lambdoma and the seven rays of colour investigated by Newton.
Remember that visible light is a magnetic phenomena and that transparent glass and plastic allow the transmission of this magnetism due to the arrangement of molecules in their respective matrices. Take, for example, a prism made from glass. The particular shape of the prism and the material from which it is made allows the magnetic pheomenon of light to be transmitted and refracted, causing some frequencies of magnetism to be bent at different angles to others. The mechanism behind this refractive phenomenon is what must be investigated. We need to look at the underlying mathematics and search for a correlation with the mathematics that govern the lambdoma. I am indebted to Jonathan Goldman for setting up this forum and inspiring this new direction of research. If you wish to continue this discussion directly please write to me.
John Stuart Reid
John Reid,
I understand that the light spectrum exhibits angles of colors from a prism. Each angle of each color could be found and then matched with the angle on the table of ratios of the Lambdoma Matrix of intervals of sound. This is just a suggestion of an idea of relating angles of color to angles of sound. It is just a way to experiment with the concept.
Thanks,
Barbara Hero

My thoughts on the subject of Sound & Light concerns:
1) Arbitrariness–using any divisor or multiplier you can get from anywhere to anywhere on the EM (Electro-Magnetic) spectrum. Enter Rife etc. The question is, what does it prove?
2) The EM spectrum behaves entirely different for our eyes – that is why we don’t use aluminum antennae to enhance our vision.
3) And sound is actually in an entirely different medium – physical not EM.
4) At root we can say everything is based on frequency, which is either
5) Mystical and able to be studied such as esoteric energy like the subtle bodies and the chakras), or
6) Scientific and able to be studied such as quantum physics and string theory.
7) But I have yet to see any non-agenda’d correlation of frequency or color to LASTING emotional well being, EXCLUSIVE OF THE PLACEBO EFFECT.
Thanks for your partial answer to my query Barbara. I admire your work, having bought your book many years ago on the lambdoma matrix. I understand that the angles you are referring to derive from the sound frequency ratios. However, when it comes to light frequencies I haven’t quite grasped where the angles would derive.
The model of electromagnetism I work with is one in which the energy radiates spherically, well known to physicists but, oddly, not often discussed in physics text books. The term “wavelength” would then refer to the extremes of inward and outward radial oscillations of this expanding bubble of magnetic energy. This spherical space-form is, in fact, how almost all natural light propagates. (We could talk about laser light and light beamed from a parabolic reflector in a separate communication.) The various colours of visible light relate to the frequency ranges of the oscillating excursions within the magnetic bubble.
Having ‘set out my stall,’ so to speak, have you been able to figure where the corresponding angles derive, to be equivalent with the angles relating to the arc tangent of sound frequency ratios?
Thanks,
John Reid
A partial answer to John Reid. The different wavelengths of light in the seven colors have specific angles. If the angles are known, they could be matched in a “lambdoma matrix” of angles. I use the rows and columns of the lambdoma matrix to generate pure harmonic intervals of harmonics and sub harmonics, usually known as overtones and undertones. The method of finding the angles in the matrix is based on applying the mathematical function “arc tangent” to the ratios. Each ratio is aligned with a specific generating musical keynote. Each keynote according to Pythagorean color-music theory has a ratio, a notation and a corresponding color spectrum. For instance C is red, D is orange, etc. If the angle of red is found in the color spectrum. C at 256Hz is the frequency of the audible sound in the middle C range. Then find the appropriate ratios, frequencies, notations, intervals and colors within the lambdoma matrix ( a 16 by 16 entry matrix). See my website: http://www.lambdoma,com
In response to Gary Buchanan’s blog, although my approach to the relationship between sound and light is focused mainly on physics I am interested in the synaesthetic phenomena in which certain individuals can “see sound” or “hear colours.” My interest in synaesthesia stems partly from the fact that our sense organs translate sounds and light into trains of electrical pulses that our brains interpret as sound or light, so our perception of sound is essentially electrical, not acoustic.
I have had a few synaesthetic experiences myself, usually when drifting off to sleep. If a sudden noise occurs I have sometimes seen, in my mind’s eye, a complex circular pattern, rather cymatic in its appearance, interestingly it is always black and white.
I’m not sure where the value lies in the Cousto and Dinshah systems mentioned by Gary. Why should we attribute a given musical note to a particular colour? Although sound and light are related, in the sense that light is a function of sound (there has to be a collision between two particles before electromagnetism can be created) they are, nevertheless, different physical phenomena. Isn’t attributing a colour to a given frequency of sound merely an artistic device because, perhaps, we as humans like relationships even when they are not based on something real?
Barbara Hero’s blog is also interesting. I would like to ask what foundation or principle Barbara is using to employ the number seven and eight? Is this driven by our human need to see/enjoy a correspondence or is there an underlying physical or mathematical principle that we should be aware of? Although sound and light have spectrums of frequencies that humans can perceive they are, as I said above, very different phenomena. I need to understand why we would multiply a given sound frequency by a given number until it matches the numeric equivalent of a particular light frequency? This is not a criticism but a genuine question based on my curiosity to understand the reasoning.
John Stuart Reid
Jonathan,
Thanks so much for your notes on “the sound of light.” and the responses. As I see it, intervals of sound and colors of light are related by:
1) The number seven/eight.
2) Seven/eight colors and their seven/eight complementary colors, as seen in a double rainbow:
red, orange, yellow, green, blue, (bluegreen), indigo, purple
do, re, mi, fa, sol la si ti
green, aqua, blue, violet, magenta, (peach), orange, gold
3) Seven/eight intervals of ratios and their seven/eight inverse ratios:
taking 1:1 = 256Hz and multiplying each ratio by 256 for frequencies of each note.
1:1, 3:2, 4:3, 5:4, (5:6), 7:6, 8:7, 9:8
do, sol, fa, mi-, la-, re, re, re-
1:1, 2:3, 3:4, 4:5, (6:5), 6:7, 7:8, 8:9
do, fa, sol, la-, mi-, la, la+, si-
Sound propagates in air at the rate of approximately 700 miles per hour, depending on air pressure and temperature. This process involves countless collisions between the atoms and molecules that form the earth’s atmosphere. Each collision creates friction between the air components, resulting in heat, more accurately described as electromagnetism.
The amplitude of the electromagnetism so created is a function of the sound pressure level, the local temperature and the local air pressure, the latter quantity dictating the number of collisions that occur.
Hypothetically, there are two component frequencies of oscillation in the sound-generated electromagnetism. The first is the frequency of the electromagnetism, determined by the energy in the collisions. The second component is the modulation of the electromagnetism by the inherent sound periodicities of the colliding atoms or molecules. The effect is similar to amplitude-modulated radio transmissions, although with Sonic Propagation of Electromagnetic Energy Components (SPEEC) the “carrier wave” frequency is far higher (light frequency.)
Put simply, the electromagnetism created by sound propagation through air is modulated by the same sound periodicities that created the electromagnetism.
The modulated electromagnetism, created by everyday sounds, typically lie in the infrared spectrum, although very low intensity sounds result in the creation of modulated microwave or short wave radio frequency energy. Very high intensity sound could, theoretically, create visible light.
The sound of a person shouting outdoors typically expands to a sphere of about one mile in diameter before becoming too weak to be detected by human hearing. However, the electromagnetic sphere created by a human shout would not be significantly attenuated by clear air. (Note that most sounds and most electromagnetic energy travel spherically, not as waves as is commonly believed.)
The modulated infrared electromagnetic sphere, created by an outdoor sound, will travel relatively unimpeded through cloudless skies and even beyond the earth’s atmosphere into space, where it will travel forever unless it meets dense matter. This infers that all the data contained within outdoor sounds has been rushing through the Cosmos at the speed of light since the earth took form. Conversley, sounds created on other worlds have been rushing toward us, not as sound but as the electromagnetic component of the sounds. All we need to ‘listen’ to them is a suitable detector.
In conclusion, there is indeed a direct relationship between sound and light, in fact, electromagnetism could not exist without sound.
John Stuart Reid, England, October 2008.
(Summarised from a paper entitled: “THE SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SOUND AND LIGHT,” published by the Journal of Subtle Energies & Energy Medicine, Volume 17, Number Three.)
The Cousto and Dinshah assignments of pitch to color are basicaly identical. The scale begins with G = Red and moves through the octave with some “polarities” defined. Obviously, this entire system of correlation is based more upon intellectual and mathematical premises than “facts,” as such.
The traditional “archetypal” system begins with C = Red, D = Orange, E = Yellow, F = Green, G = Blue, A = Indigo, and B = Violet. Again, this system is also weak, mathematically, scientifically, etc. However, it IS and HAS BEEN the global system used throughout traditional history by most religio/mystical cultures.
For me, the “key” lies in the concept of “polarization.” For example, Dinshah talks about using polar tones, e.g. E and A#, etc. I see, mentally and synesthetically, E as Yellow, A# Indigo-Violet…but the functions may alternate, or reverse. E might be Indigo-Violet, and A# may be Yellow. Such Goethian “axes” on the octahedral fields underlying all Synergetic formations make clear this geometric growth, e.., from tetrahedra, to octahedra, dodecahedra, icosahedra, and vector equilibria.
The Cymatic healing approach developed and used by Dr. Peter Guy Manners in therapies, by the way, insists upon using analogue sound — per previous blogs. Within that context, I disparage all digital compression — and always check wave sound files on an oscilloscope — just to make sure I am obtaining smooth sine waves with little or no distortion or particle curves. Sound Forge also allows for analyzing the generated partials…overtones, and undertones…all important, no?
For me, if a color or electro-magnetic wave front is known to have healing efficacy, I use it. If I have a commutation of sound for the same condition. I use that, as well. In using both sound and light/color, I simply combine the two “knowns,” regardless of all the theories people put forward.
Consider, a five-frequency sound array has all kinds of harmonics and potentials. Also, the “best” sounds for healing, I believe, are the lower, ELF, and base pulse-tone propagations which speak to the natural rhythms of the body, mind, and spirit. Light and color have myriad more potentials — and I suspect will never be totally systematized with sound waves.
Similary, in light/color therapy we may begin with, say, Yellow on the solar plexus, then Indigo on the throat, followed by meridian stimulation with another color, etc. Thus, using specific tones, assigned to specific colors, to treat conditions in a systematic way is farught with variables and, shall we say, “silliness?”
Find the sound/music that works, combine with the light/color protocol that works. This is my approach in therapies.
I perceive Intent as a focussed Consciousness. All light, color, and sound exsit in Consciousness. The question is: Is the Intent a regular, unbroken, sinusoidal flow — or is it dominated by intellect, egotism, emotions, etc?
Anyway, these are my off-the-cuff thoughts right now.
Thanks for the blog, Jonathan.
Love & Light,
Gary
