Primordial Line of Creation and Pythagorean Music Theory

Im not really ready to write this post in full, since it is actually a very deep, and detailed topic.

But, I did want to mention that it seems that there is a 7 note scale that rises up out of the primordial point, that correspond to the Sanskrit Vowel Tones of the Silent A, Long A, Short I, Long I, Short Ri, Long Ri, Short E and Long E. These are eight notes, but because I believe the original point of creation is represented by a silent A, since the breathe of spirit had not yet arisen, and the point is completely still mind, then the original action of arising is represented by the number 7 and 7 note scale. A seven note scale is called Heptatonic, and is the most common musical scale in Western music.

Wikipedia states that, "Indian classical theory postulates seventy-two seven-tone scale types, collectively called thaat, whereas others postulate twelve or ten (depending on the theorist) seven-tone scale types."

It also states, "A diatonic scale is any seven-note scale constructed sequentially using only whole tones and half tones, repeating at the octave, having a tonal center, and comprising only one tritone interval between any two scale members, which ensures that the half tone intervals are as far apart as possible. In Western music, there are seven such scales, and they are commonly known as the modes of the major scale (Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, and Locrian)."

It is also very interesting to note that the notes of a scale form Harmonic Intervals with Each Other. A 7 note scale has 21 Harmonic Intervals.

What is interesting to me about the 21 Harmonic Intervals of the Ascending Heptatonic Scale is that the Hebrew and Mayan alphabets are described in approximately 21 heiroglyphic symbols. In the Tibetan Tantric Traditions there are also 21 Taras. It is well documented that the 22 Hebrew Letters represent 3 Mother letters, 7 doubles and 12 singles, which describe three levels of existence, 5 visible planets plus the Sun and Moon, and 12 Zodiac Signs. These can also be said to correspond to the 12 Zodiac Symbols plus 9 Planetary bodies. This correspondence deserves its own chapter of writing. From these observations it is possible to conceive of the Ascending Heptatonic Scale as describing the birth of the Heavenly Bodies and the Path of the Sun as the Zodiac. As such it also describes the Path of the Sun in our bodies as the Pingala Nadi.

This is a picture describing the Musical Harmonic Series. This indeed is a very interesting picture to me. It makes me feel that our spine and Chakras, and the original line that emerged from a point are indeed a nearly infinite Harmonic Series of Vibration on every level of our senses. Sound vibration describes it very well, as well as Light / Color Vibrations. As we know there are also huge electo-magnetic waves constinually emerging from the center of our Milky Way Galaxy, and all the Galaxies. I suspect that if and when we ever find the original center of our Universal system that we measure a truely astonishing emergence of Electro-Magnetic Waves pulsing from its core. These waves are the Primordial Line that I am speaking of. They connect all things, and are present in each and every living being. It is the presence of the creator in all things.

As 7 tones, or 8 tones with one being silent, I feel that the Heavenly Star also is a 2 dimensional symbol of the original 7 tones that arose first from the point of Creation.

I will continue to write about the manifestation of the heavenly star in another blog post. It is very deep, and there could be a deeper mystery about the emergence of a holographic star. The main point is that this original line of creation arose and manifested 7 tones which relates to a star a Heavenly star in two dimensions.

The original action of arisal from the primordial point also necessarily resulted in an equal and opposite reaction of descent downward as Magnitude. Number and Magnitude where manifested at the same moment. This is represented by the Sanskrit Vowel Tones of the Short Ha, the Long A, the Short O, The Long O, the Short LO and the Long LO, the Short U and the Long U. This is described as a Eight Point scale since the Spirit of Breathe arose from the Silent A and all other tones vibrate and can be vocalized.

The Eight tone scale is called the Octatonic scale, and is commonly used in Modern Jazz and Classical Music. The Octatonic scale most commonly refers to the Symmetrical scale of whole and half tones.

Wikipedia states that in classical music theory, "there are a total of 42 non-enharmonically equivalent, non-transpositionally equivalent eight-note sets."

Wikipedia also states that In Jazz Theory the Octatonic Scale, "In jazz theory, it is called the diminished scale (Campbell 2001, 126) or symmetric diminished scale (Hatfield 2005, 125) because it can be conceived as a combination of two interlocking diminished seventh chords, just as the augmented scale can be conceived as a combination of two interlocking augmented triads."

There is also this very interesting connection between the Octatonic Scale and the Twelve Tone Chromatic Scale noted as, "The twelve tones of the chromatic scale are covered by three disjoint diminished seventh chords. The notes from two such seventh-chords combination form an octatonic collection. Because there are three ways to select two from three, there are three octatonic scales in the twelve-tone system."

Also, "Each octatonic scale has exactly two modes: the first begins its ascent with a whole step, while the second begins its ascent with a half step (semitone). These modes are sometimes referred to as the whole step/half-step diminished scale and the half-step/whole step diminished scale, respectively. (Levine 1995, 78)"

Howard Hanson's Hamonic Materials states, "The notes of a scale form intervals with each of the other notes of the chord in combination. A 5-note scale has 10 of these harmonic intervals, a 6-note scale has 15, a 7-note scale has 21, an 8-note scale has 28."

What is very interesting to me about the 28 harmonic intervals in an 8-note scale is that there are 28 moon phases in a month describes as 4 x 7 day weeks. So, these 28 harmonic intervals of the descending octatonic scale seems to describe the path of the Moon of the IDA Nadi.

The 8 petaled Lotus Flower is often times used to symbolize the Earth and the Moon Cycle. It is a very potent and far reaching symbol.
