the divine symphony

Saturday, January 08, 2011

I speak of frequencies; higher and lower. It’s all energy. I think about how I’m not resonating with some people anymore, and how I feel like I’m pulling away from my community here in Fargo, and what that means. I know it’s getting increasingly difficult to understand someone with whom we do not resonate. But something felt off somehow. I try so hard not to be judgmental, like higher frequency is better than lower frequency, because it’s really NOT - it’s just different. I always say we need different instruments in the orchestra playing their notes and unique tones to create the beautiful symphony, but something was still missing. Then a wise friend said, “in music there are higher tones and lower tones, and neither is better than the other. You need all of the notes to create the songs. They just need to harmonize.” BINGO! That’s it! It doesn’t matter what you believe, or how ‘expanded’ your viewpoint (if that’s what being a higher frequency means). It just means that we all need to be in tune with each other, and in the same key. That makes sense. I think being in tune means we’re each responsible for our own instruments (ourselves), but we still tune to each other. And of course we have the same music (we’re all connected) so we’d be in the correct key. But here’s something else I figured out. If we’re ALL expanding and going to higher frequencies, then we must be changing keys up to higher registers all the time! So if we started in the key of C, we then evolved to C#, then D, and on up the spiritual keyboard. The dissonance comes when people don’t keep themselves in tune (attuned), or refuse to switch keys. Maybe the key of C# seems too difficult for them. Maybe they’re afraid they don’t know how to do it successfully. I think that’s part of this whole learning process. Trusting ourselves that once we know the basic theories of this whole musical Universe, we can be flexible and shift to other keys.

I’m learning cello, and had played piano, french horn, and sang in high school, so I know a little about music, but one day I came across a clef I’d never seen before. It wasn’t a treble nor a bass. I was stunned. It’s a special in between clef used mostly by violas that’s a fourth higher or lower than treble or bass (see how confusing it is to me?). I know about transposing, and maybe that’s also part of the whole spiritual story, I haven’t thought a lot about that yet. But maybe it’s time to concentrate on the basics of our instruments and the music before us, working with it, practicing it, learning it, so we can be an harmonious part of the divine symphony, instead of a divided cacophony. Play on…
