As Above, So Below
The science behind numerology has given modern science great in- sight into the workings of nature. Numbers never fail. Numbers are law. There is nothing made that does not have size, shape, and dimension. The principle of the law is “As in the macrocosm (the Universe), so in the microcosm (man and nature).” By studying an atom or cell we can find the key to the functioning of a man, a planet, a galaxy. In other words, laws that are true to us on Earth are inevitably true in the Universe. The Hermetic aphorism is phrased simply: “As Above, So Below.”
As an example of this truth, or law, there is a most striking demonstration that is found in the science of spectroscopy: the study and analysis of the phenomena observed with the spectroscope.
The spectroscope is an optical instrument that looks somewhat like a telescope. There is a prism in the middle. Light rays that enter are trans- formed into parallel rays, discrete colored lines that can be measured by their wavelengths and compared to known chemicals and elements.
Every element has its own pattern that never varies. According to the Hermetic law “As Above, So Below,” the pattern will be the same on other planets: the above. The astronomers merely compare the picture presented with known elements on Earth: the below, and those that match up to a particular element will prove that element to be on that planet. Spectroscopic analysis shows that all elements known on Earth are found in the sun. So we see how it is true that as it is above, so it is below.
To get to the true nature of elements, we find that they are composed of basic molecules of energy. The ancients say this energy is made of God Himself: being the Creator of all there is, He had to create from the energy of His own ideas and the material of His own Being.
Even though we cannot see these molecules of energy with the naked eye, they nevertheless exist. And each invisible force has its own set of vibrations, starting with low frequency domestic electricity that has 50 to 60 vibrations per second. As the vibratory rate increases, there are sound, radio, television, and radar waves, microwaves, infrared rays, X-rays, and gamma rays, all invisible around us but powerful when harnessed.
There are only two kinds of matter: negative (electrons) and positive (protons), which are whirling bits of energy. The distance between them and their constant rate of vibration determine what form the matter takes: solids are close together and the rate is slow; liquids are further apart and move faster; and gases are the furthest apart and move the quickest.
Wavelengths affect form, color, sound, heat, light, and substance. All vibrate, and vibration has three factors: size, rate of oscillation, and its relation to fixed time.
Sound is produced by the vibrations of a body and is audible if the frequency lies between 20 and 20,000 vibrations per second. Loudness depends on the extent to which the sounding body vibrates. Above this range the vibration is called ultrasonic, and below, subsonic.
Light is a form of radiant energy transmitted in electromagnetic waves, which stimulate the organs of sight.
Heat consists of the kinetic energy of the vibrational motion of molecules. The more friction, the more heat. Friction and speed are the forces that form what appear to be different substances, yet there is only one substance. Everything breathes, even inanimate objects like metal. Solid matter, in its last analysis, is merely energy in a certain state of motion.
Color is simply a different rate of vibration in another octave. The color of an object depends upon the wavelength it reflects. Beyond the violet vibration the oscillation is so minute and rapid that it can interpenetrate solids, so we cannot see any further colors (The Finding of the Third Eye, 28-31). The principles that govern music apply to the vibratory rate of colors, and the same ratio exists between colors of the spectrum as between notes of the musical scale.
It was Sir Isaac Newton, the English philosopher and mathematician (1642-1727), who first described the mathematical synchronicity of color with music. It was he who discovered the dispersion of white light into the prism of seven colors and assigned each of them to its corresponding musical tone:
Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet CDEFGAB (Reader’s Digest Great Encyclopedic Dictionary, 911)
Even disease has a distinct vibration. An American physician, Dr. Abrams, invented an instrument to measure all of the reactions to the human body and was able to assign a numerical value to each disease. He believed the remedy could also be figured out through numbers (The Find- ing of the Third Eye, 114).
Years later, in 1985, a woman named Karin Lee Abraham published a small book entitled, Healing Through Numerology, in which she furthers
the idea that “disease” corresponds to certain vibrational rates. She shows how to construct an illness chart, and by using numerology, find the best medication. She stresses that a person’s mental attitude is a major factor in overcoming any illness, that we are mind before we are body, and suggests that we can not only control the cure, but may certainly have created the illness in the first place (Healing Through Numerology, Introduction).
All of these studies bring me to the conclusion that the source of all color, sound, and vibration is in the spiritual plane, not the physical. “As Above, So Below.” These are the tools for the making of the Universe.
According to Professor Jagadish Chandra Bose of Calcutta, who wrote the book, Response in the Living and Non-Living, there is some degree of life in the smallest grain of sand.
...not only the chemical compounds are the same, but the same infinitesimal invisible lives compose the atoms of the bodies of the mountain and the daisy, of man and the ant, of the elephant and of the tree which shelters it from the sun. Each particle, whether you call it organic or inor- ganic, is life.
His findings won him the highest scientific honors, for he proved that socalled inorganic matter responds to stimuli. He measured the reaction of different forms of life to different stimuli. When compared, he found that reactions were exactly alike (The Secret Doctrine, Vol. 1, 281).
“The laws of reality cannot deviate from the ideal laws of mathematics” (Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, as quoted in Morris Klein’s Mathematics and the Search for Knowledge, 213).
