Illuminating the Head Centers
Sound, Light, and Vibration
In the Ageless Wisdom teachings, as presented by Alice A. Bailey, Helena Blavatsky, and others, the concepts of sound, light, and vibration are not only physical phenomena, but also spiritual principles and tools for creation, healing, and spiritual evolution.
We will be exploring the benefits of these three principles thereby illuminating the "Lighted Way". Additional components will be added to this initial concept designed to clarify the benefits expressed in these principles.
Let us always remember:
Sound has light and vibration
Light has sound and vibration
Vibration has sound and light.
Here's a short summary of how each can be perceived as an introductory point of light:
Sound
Sound – The Creative Word
Definition: Sound is vibration in action, often linked with the Word (Logos) or the power of speech as a creative act.
In Ageless Wisdom:
“In the beginning was the Word…” this reflects the idea that creation began with sound.
Sound is used in mantrams and sacred chants to align the human being with higher energies.
Each sound corresponds to a particular energy or ray, and proper use of sound can invoke spiritual forces or create form on subtler levels.
Sound works through the Science of Invocation and Evocation, the technique used to contact spiritual Hierarchy.
Light
Light – The Garment of God
Definition: Light is the result of the interaction of spirit (life) and matter (form), and is a manifestation of consciousness.
In Ageless Wisdom:
Light is associated with the soul, with illumination, and with the Path of Return.
As the disciple evolves, they radiate more light, both symbolically (wisdom) and literally (aura).
Light is also related to the Science of the Antahkarana, where the “bridge of light” connects the personality with the
soul and higher spiritual triad.
It is a tool of revelation, allowing the disciple to see clearly on inner planes.
Vibration
Vibration – The Universal Pulse of Life
Definition: Vibration is the primal movement or rhythm that underlies all manifestation. Everything in the universe is in a state of vibration.
In Ageless Wisdom:
It is the first differentiation of Spirit into matter.
All planes of existence are distinguished by rates of vibration.
Spiritual progress involves raising one's vibratory rate to align with higher planes or soul consciousness.
Vibration is the bridge between energy and form, and is essential in understanding initiation, healing, and telepathy.
Synthesis
The Three as a Synthesis
Sound is vibration qualified with intention, used for creation and invocation.
Vibration is the base for movement and rhythm in all things.
Light is vibration revealed as consciousness, used for realization and illumination.
Together, they are the foundation of all occult science, forming the basis of:
Esoteric healing
Invocation and ceremonial magic
Initiatory processes
Planetary alignment work
