 Vibration
really is the most basic of phenomena around life and living. Life is
essentially vibration, and all vibration potentially is at the origin of
one or the other form of life. This was recognized in
Perennial
Philosophy, especially the
Pythagorean branch of it.
Vibration and sound healing was the special knowledge of the sage, and
this tradition that was perhaps first established by the Egyptians,
became firmly rooted in Greek antiquity and from there went on till the
Renaissance. It was going to die during the so-called
Enlightenment and the establishment of
Cartesian or linear
science, a reductionist
science paradigm that discarded out all what is beyond the five senses.
Vibration was considered as the Divine impacting upon matter, something
related to the Cosmic Breath, and the knowledge about vibration was used
for sound healing, healing with sound, with music.
In addition, as noted by Manly P. Hall in
The Secret Teachings
of All Ages, it was recognized that every element in nature has its
own keynote. Hall writes:
'If these elements are combined in a composite structure the result is a
chord that, if sounded, will disintegrate the compound into its integral
parts. Likewise each individual has a keynote that, if sounded, will
destroy him. The allegory of the walls of Jericho falling when the
trumpets of Israel were sounded is undoubtedly intended to set forth the
arcane significance of individual keynote or vibration.'

of All Ages, p. 256.
In the Hermetic Theory Concerning the Causation of
Disease, seven causes and remedies were recognized. The second of
these was vibration. Hall writes:
 Manly P. Hall
The second method of healing was by
vibration. The inharmonies of the bodies were neutralized by
chanting spells and intoning the sacred names or by playing upon
musical instruments and singing. Sometimes articles of various
colors were exposed to the sight of the sick, for the ancients
recognized, at least in part, the principle of color therapeutics,
now in the process of rediscovery.

Teachings of All Ages, p. 349.
And Manly P. Hall leaves no doubt that vibrational
medicine, as we call it today, was an established branch, if not the
main branch, of healing:
Manly P. Hall
The magic rituals used by the Egyptian
priests for the curing of disease were based upon a highly developed
comprehension of the complex workings of the human mind and its
reactions upon the physical constitution. The Egyptian and Brahmin
worlds undoubtedly understood the fundamental principle of
vibrotherapeutics.

Vidette Todaro-Franceschi asks in her fascinating
scholarly study The
Enigma of Energy if modern scientific discoveries could be
reconciled with Aristotle's idea of energeia as actuality? She
answers in the affirmative, explaining that science and philosophy 'are
finally merging their beliefs as nature is being increasingly recognized
as dynamic rather than mechanistic'. And what she writes here is of
importance not only for the seeming dichotomy of
Science and Philosophy, that is
actually a mutually fertilizing and positively co-dependent
relationship, but also for the vibrational nature of all creation.
Vidette
Todaro-Franceschi
All things have a definite rhythmical pattern
that is constantly changing. Activity that is probabilistic but not
predictable is innate in all nature. Even on a quantum level things
are predictably unpredictable! Movement is in a definite direction
toward something not yet actualized. And the direction a thing moves
in is for the benefit of its own becoming. Therefore, the modern
view of nature and hence, our universe, can be equated with
principles set forth by Aristotle centuries ago.
