Because astrology works in a synchronistic expression of the ‘as above, so below’ model, I am often intrigued with and search for new information which supports what seems to be a basic operating code for all of life on this earth. The concept of vibrational resonance provides us with a model for the ways astrology performs as a tool of manifestation as well as a working guide for living life ‘in tune’ with the cosmos. Learning to consciously tune into the energies of the planets is one tool on a path to higher consciousness. We can also increase our understanding by looking at different yet comparable teachings of other paths.
I recently had the privilege of attending a workshop given by best selling author Dr. Masuro Emoto on the healing aspect of his work which he calls ‘Hado Vibrational Medicine.’ With public acceptance of his book titled ‘The Hidden Messages in Water, Dr. Masuro’s work is now generally acknowledged, but he previously had many years of struggle for recognition within his medical and scientific community. Dr. Emoto is indeed a visionary, and it was somewhat disturbing to witness how his theories provoked antagonism even from other self proclaimed holistic healers.
Many readers are probably already familiar with Emoto’s work. He has developed a system to photograph the crystal formations made by water just as it surrenders from frozen to liquid form. His work provides visual examples and comparisons of water molecules from sources such as clear mountain streams as well as denatured city water. Predictably, the pure and natural water sources show brilliance and organizational clarity in their crystal formations.
Amazingly, Dr. Emoto also used the power of spoken words and intention to illustrate transformations in the crystal structure of water droplets. The water crystal example that changed his life was one formed by exposure to the words ‘love and gratitude’. He feels that his work proves that water has the ability to copy and memorize information. Like many successful individuals, Dr. Emoto has been working diligently for many years, and his work with water crystal photography is actually an outgrowth of his efforts to develop effective healing modalities.
In ‘The Hidden Messages in Water’, Dr. Emoto also asks a simple question of his readers- ‘are you happy?’ He then answers with his opinion that ‘not many people will be able to reply with a resounding yes.’ He addresses the issue of chaos in our world today, as well as our search for a way to eliminate suffering which comes from turmoil. Emoto summarizes his work by stating ‘the more afflicted people that I see, the more I become convinced that illness is not just an individual problem, but a result of the deformation of society as a whole.’ He further addresses the world as a reflection of the soul by concluding ‘just as a drop in a pond creates a ripple that spreads out endlessly, the deformity of even one soul spreads throughout the world, resulting in global deformities.’
The visual image of a ripple in water also offers a useful model for working to change one’s reality and/or offer healings. Emoto’s less scientific and more spiritually oriented teaching of Hado Vibrational theory is built on a foundation of using harmony and resonance as a platform for healing of the physical, mental and emotional injuries the individual as well as the world at large. Hado can also be described as ‘chi’, or even ‘soul’ is energy which moves in waves. Hado energy, like water, needs to be flowing and never stagnant. Our role as human beings, or conscious co-creators of peace, is to be in harmony with all of existence; when a person’s consciousness is polluted by doubt or prejudice, this harmony fails.
If using a model of concentric circles to illustrate progressively finer aspects of energy, Hado lies in the center as an elementary particle of the Universe. So, in this example, the physical body would be the outermost circle, next the organs of our body, and in an even smaller circle inside of the others, the molecules. The next smaller and energetically finer building block would be atoms, and finally, the smallest circle in this model represents Hado, or elementary particles.
We have one more space, though, which must be penetrated in order to influence change on a vibrational resonance level; that which is inside the circle of the elementary particle. Emoto teaches that there lies the realm of creative consciousness, and that it can be penetrated and influenced by water, pleasing music, and positive intentionality. This is also the realm of the ‘observer’ as taught by quantum physics. It seems we must first travel deeply inward, through the concentric rings of organized physical and even atomic energy; and then, once inside, effectively step out of the way to facilitate conscious creation. This brings us back to another model for the ancient teachings of meditation.
And, it provokes important questions regarding astrology. Does planetary influence of our lives on earth originate from the center space of that inner most ring of elementary particles? Or, does it penetrate into the consecutive rings from an outside source? So many teachings are coming together now, and all with one prize to claim; that of inner and outer peace, as well as the ability to understand and create a life of our choice. I will close with another expression of our role as human beings in the fabric of the cosmos.
The following words are from the Vedas of ancient India and over 7000 years old. Consider how they match the teachings of modern quantum thought.
Indra’s Net
There is an endless net of treads throughout the universe.
The horizontal threads are in space, the vertical threads in time.
At every crossing of thread there is an individual, and every individual is a crystal bead. The great light of absolute being illuminates and penetrates every crystal being,
and every crystal being reflects not only the light from every other crystal in the net,
but also every reflection of every re-flection throughout the universe.
