MEDITATION AND RESONANCE EFFECTS
by Philo Stone
(This paper is from THE HOLISTIC QABALAH, a series of 12 books,
written by Richard and Iona Miller. It has also appeared in print in
"Psychedelic Monographs and Essays," Volume Four, Summer 1989)

The use of psychedelics or empathogens traditionally involves
effectual traits or nuances which can parallel endogenous mystical or
cybernetic landscapes. This piece presents an introduction to current
descriptions common throughout all three fields. A promise of
increased comprehension so far as metaphor, symbol and effect
surrounding these and other cross-correlative fields is reviewed and
annotated.

...If the manas is to preform its proper task of controlling senses,
it must reflect the ideal pattern that is laid up in the heavens of
Buddhi. Only when that pattern is reflected in its mirror has it the
standard of reference by which to judge...nor should we think that the
possession of such a divine standard by which to judge attainment is
far above us; one to which we may aspire in some dim future. Here and
now the Pattern is within us.
Sri Krishna Prem
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Theoretically, the practice of meditation is intended to withdraw the
personal mind from its persistent preoccupation with external affairs.
It can be seen as a form of training for the mind in switching from
matter to psyche. There is a purpose. It is to prepare the personal
nature so that it is able to reflect and express its relationship with
the Universal Self.
Throughout history there have been a number of techniques used to
achieve a meditative state. The most often used first step is a form
of rhythmic breathing. If done correctly, a sequence of strong and
unusual body reactions occur. These also will eventually trigger
unusual psychological states via a type of resonance effect. A closer
examination of these resonance-relationships yields information useful
in improving the meditation.
Perhaps an example clarifies this: When a subject is totally relaxed
and has achieved a deep meditative state, a slow, rhythmic sine wave
pattern can be registered by a cardiograph-type sensing device. What
Page 1
is being measured is a standing wave in the aorta. There is a
heart-aorta resonating oscillator which affects other parts of the
body, including the brain.
Resonance occurs when the natural vibration frequency of a body is
greatly amplified by vibrations at the same frequency from another
body. Oscillators alter the environment in a periodic manner. When
in a deep meditative state the regular movement of the body indicates
that a standing wave is set up in the vascular system, specifically in
the aorta. This standing wave affects several other resonate systems
in the body, all of which are driven by this large signal.
A paper by Paul F.J. New(1), and several current papers, indicate the
presence of a major resonant cavity oscillator located between the
heart and the bifurcation, where the aorta divides itself. When the
timing of the pressure pulses travel down the aorta coincide (in
phase) with the reflected pressure pulse, a standing wave is achieved.
When this frequency approaches 7Hz., a progressively amplified wave
form is created by resonance, resulting in a large oscillation
affecting every other circuit in the body tuned to this frequency(2).
(Vangard note...Refer STALKING THE WILD PENDULUM by Itzhak Bentov)
There is a resonance relationship to this frequency with standing
waves on the Earth's crust. If we assume that the spherical crust of
the Earth represents a condenser, then the frequency of resonance can
be calculated on the basis of the equation:
Resonance frequency = C/7.3R2
Where C is the velocity of propagation of electromagnetic waves and R
= radius of the Earth. This frequency has been shown to be 6.4Hz.
Thus, a harmonic frequency corresponding to the pulsation of the
electrical charge of the Earth is present in the heart/aorta.
The brain may be considered as a piezoelectric gel(3), one converting
physical vibrations into electrical ones. Although the body movement
from this heart/aorta resonance is relatively small, 0.003-0.009 mm.,
the head is a dense and tight structure. By moving up and down, the
skull accelerates the brain with mild impacts. These acoustical plane
waves are reflected from the cranial vault and are focused upon the
third and lateral ventricles. A hierarchy of frequencies couple this
7Hz. body movement to the higher frequencies in the ventricles.

In the book Biomedical Engineering Systems(4), Chap. 7 is a major work
entitled "Toward A View of Man", by Manfred Clynes. Clynes is a
medical doctor working at the Research Center in Rockman State
Hospital, Orangeburg, New York. This work is considered a
breakthrough in the fields of psychology and medicine, known today as
the field of psychobiology (biocybernetics).
Clynes took a number of volunteers and shaved their heads, placing a
series of electrodes in rosette patterns or various regions of the
brain. These included the temporal, frontal lobe section and
occipital region. In this way, not only were the brain frequencies
Page 2
monitored, but directional shifts in these frequencies could also be
determined by the geometry of the electrodes on the skull.
The original purpose of Clynes' work was to find out how precision and
order exist in brain processes; to discover what is inherently
programmed in man and how he might make use of the inherent programs.
These individuals were given a number of images (form) and colors to
concentrate on while their brain was monitored by computers.
Recording from opposite pairs of electrodes simultaneously, he
obtained views of the electrical activity from different angles:
mathematically, a spatial differentiation of the electric vector.
What was happening literally was a mapping of consciousness. A number
of very important observations were made:
1. Certain qualities and relationships were of great importance
to the computer than such quantitative factors such as
intensity. This meant that the brain's systems of
identification are based on differences, rather than intensity
of the signal.
2. Thin lines were found to produce characteristic evoked
potentials, irrespective of size. The form itself is
transduced into another form in the brain space time which can
be measured. There is a one-to-one correspondence between the
visual form of the stimulus, the response form in the brain,
and the perception.
This is, perhaps, the first physical description of the field of an
archetype. It is a geometrical structuring and has uniqueness.
3. The process of inhibition is as important for transducing the
external world as is excitation. Concentrating on specific
lines of geometry does not constitute the changing stimulus,
but their steady presence systematically and radically alters
the response to another changing stimulus.
4. Changes in intensity of a single color produce very simple
response shape. Light and darkness (as opposites) show no
evidence of being different values of the same variable.
Rather, they seem to be the result of stimulating and also of
inhibiting different receptors.
This, the evoked potentials to light and darkness in no way may be
said to be positive and negative, respectively. White, for example,
appears in this view as the result of mutual inhibition of color.
5. These experiments clearly imply an inherent form of
organization and not a random learning of nerve nets. It is
possible to mentally recognize and perceive the stimulus
within the first portion of the invoked potential. Portions
responding (in the brain) which occur later than 0.3 sec. are
seen as systematic processes, or tuned circuits to those
responses to specific in-coming stimulus. This is a form of
resonance in the brain to specific geometry. This could also
lead to the formation of memory.
6. Every perception has a unique counterpart as a space-time code
form in the brain. These space-time shapes are evidence of
Page 3
relationships between the external world and its
representation in the brain. They act like keys to "unlock"
specific parts of our brain, often being observed below
psychological threshold levels (subliminal).
Clynes literally mapped fields in the human brain. A computer was
able to identify and reproduce those geometrical figures from what
that human was concentrating on, either as a geometric form or color.
The individual did not even have to look at the pattern but simply
concentrate "in his mind's eye." A standing wave means that the wave
is not changed, but is holding itself steady in one certain
geometrical thought.
If quantum mechanical properties of matter are actually the conscious
property of matter, then one would predict that all phenomena where
quantum wave explanations are important, the phenomena could be
interpreted better in terms of consciousness.(5)
Our planet is surrounded by a Layer of electrically charged particles
called the ionosphere. The lower layer of the ionosphere starts about
80km. from the Earth. This charged layer is known to reflect radio
waves.
Since this is a highly charged layer, the ionosphere forms a so-called
capacitor with the Earth. This means that there is a difference in
electrical potential between the two, the Earth being negatively
charged and the ionosphere being positively charged. This potential
varies somewhat but is around 200 volts/m.
This is a fundamental type of electrical generator. The solar winds,
interacting with the upper atmosphere rotation, act as a collector and
brushes of a generator. The lower atmosphere can be seen as a storage
battery for this gradient potential.
This electrostatic field around the Earth can be viewed as a stiff
jelly. When our bodies move and vibrate, these movements are
transmitted to the environment. These fields not only impinge on
our body but they also affect the charges inside our body. When we
are standing on the ground, under normal conditions, we are grounded.
Our body then acts as a sink for the electrostatic field and we
actually distort the force lines somewhat.
Our body also has its own electrostatic field about itself. These
field-lines are the result of the various biochemical reactions in the
body. This resultant bio-field couples us to the isoelectric field of
the planet.
A "tuned system" consists of at least two oscillators of identical
resonant frequencies. If one of the oscillators starts emitting, the
other will be activated by the signal very shortly. Because the
coupling is ideal, they will respond to the tiniest signals and begin
to resonate.
In 1957, W.O. Schumann(6) calculated the Earth-ionosphere cavity
resonance frequencies. His works were updated over the years and the
figure now used is at 7.5Hz. As indicated previously, the micromotion
of the body is about 6.8 to 7.5Hz.
It is obvious that when one is in deep meditation, it is possible for
Page 4
the human being and the planet system to start resonating. There is a
transfer of energy. It is no coincidence that this frequency is in
the theta region of brainwaves, the state of maximum regeneration.
Information is embodied in a field, rather than just being a field. A
field is thus an abstract quantity of information; relationships
between this point and that point in the universe.
Astral temples are set up to evoke a certain correspondence effect,
like a resonance. These temples are like a physical matrix, one with
specific geometrical form and color.
The visualization, in turn sets up a particular EM resonance in the
brain. The reverberation pattern is most explicit. Clarity is all
important. Distortion minimizes the resonance effect and reduces any
amplification to connecting other "tuned" oscillators in the body.
Techniques of extending this harmonious resonance have been known for
thousands of years. These are the different meditative techniques.
Most slow down the metabolic rate of the body so that much less oxygen
is required to keep the body going.
As one becomes proficient in meditation, the breathing becomes so
gentle as not to disturb the resonate state of the aorta. An
automatic process develops in which the lungs and the diaphragm
regulates the heart-aorta system so as to keep them well-tuned. This
helps extend the resonant behavior even with shallow breathing.
In conclusion, the following points should be made regarding the
resonant effects available through meditation:
1. There is a heart/aorta resonance which links up with a number
of other critical oscillators, including several in the brain.
It starts at the heart.
2. Specific geometries or geometrical mandalas (form and color)
create resonance effects in the brain. The pattern is
repeated in the brain.
3. Specific geometrical systems can be used as "keys" to access
those specific archetypes. Access occurs to the psyche.
4. This linking of resonant cavity oscillators can be seen to
form a common thread, going from Hadit (DNA-RNA helix) to
Nuit (galactic hydrogen-helium field).
5. By "tuning" one's meditation, it is possible to amplify and
have access to the other resonant systems, in and out of the
body.
The Human organism has usually been regarded as a complex arrangement
of chemical elements and compounds. The quantity and structure of
these variables are our reference points for states of health. This
is the area of biochemistry and biochemical analysis.
An equally valid approach is to regard the human organism as an
aggregation of electromagnetic fields which are constantly interacting
and changing as are their biological equivalents. It has been shown
that the human system is an emitter of electromagnetic radiations.(7)
Page
All biological processes are a function of electromagnetic field
interactions. EM fields are the connecting link between the world of
form and resonant patterns.
The patterns are arbitrary forms which are non-physical. Archetypal
forms are based on inherent characteristics and correspondences. This
provides a basis for what we would call resonant phenomena in
archetypal systems. EM fields embody or store gestalts, patterns of
information.
An archetype may then be seen as a specific geometrical system of
standing waves occurring in the brain as a space-time shape ("key").
In living organisms, opposites receive their structure of symmetry
from particular combinations of spatial and temporal aspects. Like
reins on a horse, each of the opposites of the psychological pair has
its own place. This geometric property makes them capable of being
opposites. The activity of each arm determines the quantity; the
spatial identity of the rein determines the quality. There is no
monotonic (or linear) transition from one to the other passing
through zero.
A human being, immersed in the galactic hydrogen-helium field, may
also utilize the pulsing feedback between man and the galaxy to build
up the resonance effects, much like we would tune a radio. These
primary frequencies are multiples of the base frequency 7 Hz.
These four nucleotides provide resonant frequencies for alpha, theta,
and delta (the characteristic brain states going from consciousness to
deep sleep: 14-2 Hz.). This resonance relationship can be seen to
link with helium inside the body at various chemical sites.
The bridge connecting the solar system resonances and the brain
frequencies seem to reside in the DNA-RNA helix.
In a paper by Oliver Reiser(8) from the University of Pittsburgh, a
relationship is developed between the four helium cores in an atomic
nucleus and the matrix forms on the DNA and RNA. Reiser describes them
as "radiation belts of thought," the four "nucleotides" enter into
the dynamics of these nuclear properties. A spheron is a nuclear
constituent roughly spherical in shape and spaced in concentric
layers.
The platonic solids are the five regular solids described by
Pythagoras, now seen to form all crystal formations. These forms
later became the basis of the mathematics known as group theory. The
so-called "resonances" were specific combinations of five regular
solids geometry.
"Helions" is Pauling's term for spherons when he modeled the helium in
the sun, the heliosphere around the Earth, and the hydrogen-helium
plasma of the galactic disc. An optically activated molecule, such as
helium, contains an electron which is coerced into a helical path by
electric field. This one-sided spiral is maintained in the
intermolecular transport through protein molecules. Note that the
protein units of "spherical viruses" are packed symmetrically, in
accordance with the pattern of cubic symmetry. Once more we find our
way back to Pathagoras and the Platonic solids!

amorphous semiconductors (the gel). When the body is stressed by
a force such as heartbeat, it presses the brain on the skull and
current is produced.
