The ancient origins of Cymatics



It is worth noting that what we know as being useful, feeling fulfillment and experiencing euphoria are all related to a young and growing field of science that only recencently joined the rest of the established research community. Since its inception it has proven to be related and relevant to most fields of scientific study, and almost every aspect of human endevour. The study of Cymatics follow up on observations by Chladni that show how matter respond to ambient frequencies but harken back to ancient times, at least as far back as Pythagoras, when he noticed that the pitch of a musical note relates to the length of the string that produces it.

From consciousness to happiness, purpose and intent, self fulfillment, productivity, performance, optimal experience, and the meaning of life the science of Cymatics and study of Flow has changed our fundamental understanding of the nature of Nature in ways that boggles the mind and which many people apperently find hard to fathom.



Known by lovers as the extacy of orgasm while the devout is want to describe it as the Holy Spirit or enlightenment, long distance runners, gamers and high performance athletes regard it as being in the Zone, ravers as tripping, tribal drummers as trance, and BDSM practitioners, MMA artists, grapplers and choking fetish lovers will recognize it as the feeling of leaving your body when you lose consciousness. Contrary to common knowledge they are all related, follow the same principles, occur under similar conditions, and they all result in a range of specific, unique and measurable physical, physiological, mental, hormonal, neurocognitive and behavioral responses. 

While transcendental experience is hardly new, the idea that it is a state of being that we can entrain, channel, apply and appropriate to enhance productivity, optimize experience, augment abilit and have fun while doing it is apparently so radical and revolutionary that the scientific community seem to be have a hard time taking it serious.

From a 'Grand Scheme of Things' the alacrity with which the nature  of flow-state entrainment is viewed is obvious if we follow the theory to its logical conclusion as the evidence show a perfectly plausable cause for a number of coveted religious, scientific, artistic and cultural 'holy cows', disclosing secrets that have been jealously guarded and hidden from plain sight for thousands of years by some of the most powerful and influential archetypes known to exist. What with illusionists, magicians, entertainers, tricksters, gurus, prophets and priests at risk that people may lose faith in their practice if their trade secret is revealed the slow uptake of flow-state entrainment among scientists is bound to be spurious.

Given the profound nature and venerable regard of its manifest relevance it is hardly surprising to find that the vested principles of Flow and the laws that govern it are pernicious, common place, and apply to all manner of change throughout Nature and in all of Creation if we choose to take notice, and stop disputing its existence in lieu of what we think and believe.

Flow is related to a very specific branch of scientific investigation that few people know about, many are talking about, and a lot of punters and entrepreneurs are leveraging to develop a growing number of higly lucrative applications, systems and over the counter advice without having any understanding of the simple principles that facilitate the proprietary solutions and so called miracle cures that they pander for profit.
