“Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates.”

This Principle embodies the Truth that “everything is in motion”, “everything vibrates”, “nothing is at rest”, facts which modern science endorses and which each new scientific discovery tends to verify. Yet this Hermetic Principle was enunciated thousands of years ago, by the Masters of Ancient Egypt. It explains that the differences between different manifestations of Matter, Energy, Mind, and even Spirit, result largely from varying rates of Vibration. From THE ALL, which is Pure Spirit, down to the grossest form of Matter, all is in vibration; the higher the vibration, the higher the position in the scale. The vibration of Spirit is at such an infinite rate of intensity and rapidity that it is practically at rest – just as a rapidly moving wheel seems to be motionless. At the other end of the scale, there are gross forms of matter whose vibrations are so low as to seem at rest. Between these poles, there are millions upon millions of varying degrees of vibration.
From corpuscle and electron, atom and molecule, to worlds and universes, everything is in vibratory motion. This is also true on the planes of energy and force, which are but varying degrees of vibration; and also on the mental planes (whose states depend upon vibrations); and even on the spiritual planes. |
Remember that you are not limited to your perceived physical perceived self, in every moment, your atoms are whirling about at near light speed, if your body weren't travelling at light speed every moment, it would disintegrate, this grand universal field of will is your true essence.
All atoms, all molecules, are projected as a hologram projector from your mind, in that sense you have much control over the vibration of things around you. Vibration has been said before to correspond to sacred geometry happening at a higher dimensional level, vibration is the force which binds as above so below.
What is vibration and why is it so important? Well, we all heard or read in fairy
tales about the famous powers that witches and wizards wielded by waving a magic
wand, making a few gestures, and reciting a few magical words. Well, some stories are
not so fictitious in some of their concepts. In ceremonial magic, we learn to call upon
certain energies using the proper tools and invocations, incorporated with the proper
tone or pitch in the voice. It has been a long kept occult secret that everything in matter
is made up of vibration. Today in modern science, this same concept has been termed
the Wave Theory or put simply, frequency. It states that matter, even in its densest
form, is constantly moving. That is to say that the molecular make-up of matter moves
at a constant flow. As magicians, we understand that even matter is energy, and that
such energy may be controlled in a certain environment under the correct applied force
or conditions, once again revealing what Crowley teaches, "Magic is change in
conformity to will." If this is true, we can say that not only matter is made up of energy,
but so are thoughts and emotions. Even further, we can also say that words
themselves contain powers that are activated by a force greater or equal to the
exertion. Such words of power are considered important factors in rituals because they
aid in the direction of energy.
In the Neophyte grade, such lessons as the L.B.R.P. are meant to be performed
in a manner that involves vibration. That is to say that rituals are simply lifeless without
the use of vibration. It would almost be a football game without the cheer.
Another concept that is sometimes mentioned is Harmonic Resonance. This
states that if one object vibrates strong enough, it may affect the vibration of a second
object, on condition that the first object resonates (vibrates) greater or equal to the
frequency of the second object. As a Neophyte, the first object that you learn to vibrate
is yourself. By maintaining a certain vibration within oneself is to affect a force or
energy in the Microcosm. "As above, so below." In the L.B.R.P., the energies invoked
are the aspects of Deity through the God names. By reaching the right pitch and using
the correct force to support it, one is able to effectively call upon these energies to be
used by the occultist as he wills.
A few suggested forms of vibration are as followed. Keep in mind that no one
procedure will help all. Find one that best suits you and exercise it daily until it
becomes second nature.
