VIBRATION SCIENCE

"The source of every sound is a vibrating body."

From the song 'Vibration Science' by Kaleidoscope Jukebox

"It is through the law of vibration that the mind exercises control (or thoughts)... We know that every mental action is a vibration... and we know that all form is simply a mode of motion, a rate of vibration. Everything in the Universe is what it is by virtue of its rate of vibration.

The first form which thought will find is language, or words; this determines the importance of words; they are the first manifestation of thought - the vessels in which thought is carried. They take hold of the ether and by setting it in motion reproduce the thought to others in the form of sound.

We cannot escape from the pictures we incessantly photograph on the mind (and share with others), and this photography of erroneous conceptions is exactly what is being done by the use of words when we use any form of language which is not identified with our (or other's) welfare.

Change the rate of vibration and you change the nature, quality, and form of the world you experience."

Charles Haanel (1866-1949)

Let's make it a good one!

ESSAY ON MAN

"Man never knows precisely what is right

So torn between a purpose and a doubt.

He first makes windows to let in the light

And then hangs curtains up to shut it out."

NATURE'S CHILD

“I sadly want a reform in the construction of children. Nature's only idea seems to be to make them machines for the production of incessant noise.” 

Wilkie Collins (1824-1889)

ON CHILDREN

Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931) On Children, from the book The Prophet (1923)

Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.

They come through you but not from you, and though they are with you, they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts.

You may house their bodies but not their souls; for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.

You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For Life goes not backwards nor tarries with yesterday.

...You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.

Happy Mother's Day!

Mother's Day is a time to give thanks to our Moms for all the things they have done for us over the years. As with most everything in modern day life, Mother's Day has become over the top commercialized, and so we buy gifts and send cards and make the obligatory visit. Despite that though, we are happy that this day rolls around each year to remind us that our Moms are to be celebrated.

If we are lucky. Sometimes Life isn't always rosy. Abandonment, abuse, neglect exist for some children and those hurts last. We can only look to people like Oprah and Tony Robbins for inspiration. Their childhoods were not so easy but their Moms did bring them into this world, and I think we would all agree, they've made the world a better place for having been in it!

There are some who say that we are on this earth to experience, and we cannot know joy unless we know sorrow, we cannot know love unless we know its lack. And that we choose the circumstances we are born into - the love, the sorrow, the poverty, or the riches. It's a curious thought indeed. But what if we do return again and again in order to experience? With each day, through experience, we learn more and more. Why not Life after Life as well? 

THE SEA

The Sea

Vast in volume

Wondrous wide

Mysterious and deep

Sea of silence

Won’t you share

The secrets that you keep?

HAPPY THEY ARE BACK

It is estimated that from 30-60 million bison may have roamed North America prior to the mid-1800s. Market hunting and sport hunting in the 1800's by European-American settlers and the U.S. Army campaign in the late 1800's to eliminate bison (as a way to control Native American tribes that depended on them for food), nearly decimated the species. Yellowstone was the only place in the contiguous 48 states where wild, free-ranging bison persisted into the 20th century. 

By 1902, Yellowstone’s bison were reduced by poaching to approximately two dozen animals. From that small herd has grown the two large herds now occupying Yellowstone National Park. Many people consider the protection and recovery of bison in Yellowstone to be one of the great triumphs of American conservation. 

Yellowstone is the only place in the United States where bison have lived continuously since prehistoric times. 

Bison fun facts: 

• In Yellowstone today, the bison population fluctuates between 2300-4500 animals.
• The bison is the largest land mammal in North America. Males (bulls) weigh up to 2,000 pounds, females (cows) weigh up to 1,000 pounds.
• Bison are among the most dangerous animals encountered by visitors to the various U.S. and Canadian national parks and will attack humans if provoked. They appear slow because of their lethargic movements but can easily outrun humans. 
• Bison have been observed running as fast as 40 miles per hour. 
• They can jump 6 feet vertically and pivot quickly.
• A bison’s massive hump is comprised of muscles supported by long vertebrae. This allows a bison to use its head as a snowplow in winter, swinging side to side to sweep aside the snow!

Not sure about you, but I'm glad they are back! And like the rest of Nature, they should be left to be what they are. Wild and free.

"The greatest joy in nature is the absence of man."

Bliss Carman (1861-1929)
