Good Vibrations

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how these magnificent bodies of ours translate this quantum soup of vibrations we interpret as “the world”. This is a marvelous thing, but . . . unfortunately we’ve become so adept at it that we’ve “almost” completely forgotten we’re doing it. Take for example the vibration 440.000 Hz. Our ears translate this for us as a sound. To musicians that sound is known as the note a, but that musician doesn’t think of it as 440.00 Hz – at least not after they leave school.

Now if I go outside and blow my dog whistle – like magic my Labrador will come running.  Typically, a dog whistle is within the range of 16 to 22 kHz with only the frequencies below 20 kHz audible to the human ear. Most people don’t doubt that the dog hears something even if they don’t. The same goes for the Labs nose – I know he’s capable of smelling things that are way beyond the frequency range of humans. I can thank god for that!

If we take these vibrations and speed them up, they become what human refer to as light. One of the lowest frequencies of light is infrared also known as electromagnetic radiation. Light is measured in wave length. Infrared has a  wavelength longer than that of visible light, measured from the nominal edge of visible red light at 0.7 micrometers, and extending to 300 micrometers. These wavelengths correspond to a frequency range of approximately 1 to 430 THz, (really fast) we humans use our eyes to translate this type vibration, but beyond the range of the human eye lays Ultra violet, x-ray, and gamma ray. We can’t see these, but don’t deny their existence.

Here’s an interesting bit of trivia I learned years back when studying photography. Each color of visible light has its own wavelength, with blue being the longest. Because blue has a longer wavelength, it is the first color to make it all the way through the ozone layer between the sun and planet earth. That’s why the sky is mostly blue – at least where I live. City dwellers probably don’t see blue sky that often – unless they’re pilots and fly above the brown yuk that covers most cities.

Everything in our experience is vibration! We  call it gross matter, sound, light, energy, smell, or heat, but vibrations make it up and we’re translating these vibrations with our physical senses – remember?

When we leave our bodies senses behind – when we croak (-:  we still have one very important thing left – I call it feelings. That’s what you get when you hear beautiful music, or watch a magnificent sunset. Feelings are what are real! Feelings are what horses know about a person even before that person opens their mouth. Feelings are why a dog licks one person and bites another. Feelings, both good and bad, attract more of the same – that’s a universal law, like gravity. Call it momentum, or law of attraction, they belong to you alone. Better pay attention and learn to use them to create lives you enjoy. Before we came into these bodies we were totally aware of our feelings – remember? The more good feelings you have, the more you attract! Isn’t that great?
