A perfect September day, Loch Vaa, Strathspey
Blue sky, a cooling breeze, the warm resin scent from the pines, sun-sparkling water… good company to share it with… what more could you ask for? At Loch Vaa yesterday I was full of appreciation for this beautiful country we live in, and for the friends I share it with.
“… we express verbally most qualities of existence in musical terms: I have a temper, I feel in tune, to be out of tune, to live in harmony. And there are many more similar terms, expressing a state of conciousness. What matters is to decide whether the use of these words/sounds is just a figure of speech or if it is a ‘response’ to a reality that, being ‘identical’, finds its most appropriate expression in this way.
We are made of regular and irregular vibratory frequencies which enables us to live in cohesion, from the cell to the tissue, the organ, and the mental functions. It is not just a numerical question of ratios, but of fundamental meanings that are important for our perceptual world. Without our ‘sound’ we could not exist.
The meaning of harmony is not to always maintain the same vibration with the personality’s elements remaining inert, but it is, instead, the elements’ flowing adaptation to the impulses from our higher Self. If we could always keep this in mind, we would avoid all kinds of ‘crystallisation’ (habits, repetitive rhythyms, rigid mental forms, etc) that are the primary source of illness or ‘disharmony’. Sound and its careful and balanced use have the fundamental effect of dissolving any kind of crystallisation or energy congestion.”
