THE PRINCIPLE OF VIBRATION
With the Principle of Vibration, Hermes Trismegistus points directly at the essential nature of the Fundamental Reality which underpins the reality we know and experience as the world of form and matter.
This Principle embodies the Truth that “everything is in motion.” That “everything vibrates” and “nothing is at rest, ever” — facts which the science of quantum physics has now fully embraced and endorsed.
There is but one “fabric” that is the Fundamental Reality which is Consciousness itself.
Consciousness has two principal states: unmanifested or formless state and the manifested state which is what we know as the world of form and matter. The unmanifested state is subtle energy whereas the manifested state is gross energy. Potential energy vs kinetic energy. The wave state of the subatomic particle vs the particle state of the same particle. Or, in the words of the luminary physicist David Bohm: “the enfolded state vs the unfolded state.”
It’s all the same, Consciousness expressing itself in form and matter or in its pure formless state. The only difference is the rate of vibration which is to say frequency.
The human hearing range extends from 20 to 20,000 Hz, if it extended to 7.83 Hz we would hear the never-ceasing throbbing and pulsing heartbeat of Mother Earth which is known as the Schumann Resonance. So the whole universe and all forms and matter emit their own throbbing and pulsing heartbeat as everything is always in motion, always vibrating.
Mother Earth itself is Consciousness expressed into form and matter and so are all other planets, stars, and all rocks, plants, and animals. Each an individuated aspect of Source Consciousness expressed into form.
An intellectual understanding of this Principle is the bridge to integrating the deep knowing within that all is connected, all is truly One.
“All is within The All, and equally, The All is in All.”
Again, we’re back to your and everyone else’s Soul being an individuated yet undivided part of The All. You are The All expressed into an individuated aspect of Consciousness meaning — unequivocally — that your true essence is of a Divine nature as The All is Divinity itself.
The great Stoic philosopher Heraclitus pointed at this very Principle in his famous quote: “nothing ever is, everything is always becoming.”
And, that is a deep Truth of Life itself that once integrated into our knowing, helps us release our vice grip on wanting to control our Life. You truly can’t control your Life, at best you can influence and co-create how your Life unfolds for you and there’s great creative Power just within that. But, spastically trying to control Life itself leads to suffering as — inevitably — Life will not always go as you (your finite Mind with its ideas and ideologies) think it should.
What is within our Power is to “master” our own vibration and frequency and herein lie our great Powers to co-create the Life and circumstances we wish for our Life. As like-kind energy attracts like-kind energy; this is physics not woo woo spiritual fluff.
It’s said then in Hermeticism that he/she who masters the Principle of Vibration has grasped the scepter of Power in our reality.
Next up will be The Principle of Polarity, the Principle that helps us comprehend the grand architecture of the world of form.
Stay tuned for the 4th Hermetic Principle.
