I have a few more things to add.
1. Let's start with the following article in a pop-archaeology rag probably written by AI:
Mesopotamian bricks reveal the strength of Earth's ancient magnetic field - Arkeonews
Unfortunately, the scientific study that the article summarizes is behind a paywall, so we have nothing but the article to work with. The short version is that scientists extracted tiny pieces of iron from an unearthed Mesopotamian tablet dated to "somewhere between the third and the first millennium BC", measured their magnetic charge, and came to the conclusion that the Earth's magnetic field was about fifty percent stronger when the tablet was made. Now, for all I know this thing was forged in 1870, but if it wasn't, I doubt it's more than a thousand years old. Given that magnetism decays over time, and that they came up with that fifty percent number by multiplying the decay rate by three thousand years instead of, say, eight hundred, this would suggest that the magnetic field was actually more than fifty percent stronger when this thing was made. How much more, I don't know, as I don't know what math they used to calculate that figure. That is important in the context of this thread because much of the speculation here hinges on the idea, advanced by Meyl and others, that the natural power source that churches and temples were built to harness has weakened significantly over time. Since mainstream science is trapped in the evolutionary paradigm and cannot allow itself to engage with catastrophism, the authors of this study are forced to extend their timeline to accommodate a slowly diminishing electromagnetic field.
In other words, the fact that churches and temples no longer work like they once did is
to be expected.
2. The following scientific paper is about resonance in a sacred cave in Finland.
Ringing Tone and Drumming Sages in the Crevice Cave of Pirunkirkko, Koli, Finland
Please take ten minutes to read the article before continuing as I will be referring to it.
We will return to this phenomenon.
The cave "responds" to certain frequencies and amplifies them. No need for special equipment: ears suffice.
So there is a table and an altar. Keep in mind that the current "shamans' are impostors who have only the vaguest idea what they are doing in these caves, as the authors of the study point out. They're down there banging drums and taking drugs with no precise protocol, because the exact ritual was an oral tradition that was lost centuries ago.
I find this passage particularly telling on the part of the materialist cultist researchers. They cannot resist the temptation to reduce the whole thing to some corny "sound therapy" technique to "relieve stress". It of course never occurs to them that the electromagnetic profile of the Earth may once have been very different and that the cave may once have also "functioned" differently. So they have no choice but to reduce all of humanity before them to the status of ancient idiots. Keep in mind for later that historically,
"Pirunkirkko was a place to contact the spirit world and negotiate with the various spirits, devils, and elves living inside the Koli mountains." I am not sure that we can artificially separate the "purely scientific" functions of transmission and broadcasting from the anecdotal functions of communication with spirits. We will come back to that.
3. This article offers us an opportunity to go back and break things down once again to a basic level.
Hollow three-dimensional geometric shapes have natural resonant frequencies determined by the distance and angles between the walls. Sound waves whose pitch corresponds to this distance or an exact harmonic multiple of it will bounce back and forth, creating a lattice of "standing waves". All energy that is fed into these standing waves will concentrate on the immobile "nodes" where the waves cross. Energy that is fed into a standing wave accumulates. In other words, a small but repetitive energy input, such as tapping on a surface in rhythm or singing at a constant pitch, can over time accumulate into a very powerful standing wave.
I have a friend who bought a house a block away from a big street. Every half an hour or so, the house shakes rhythmically for a few seconds. The traffic on the big street is constant. The house only shakes when vehicles of a certain weight, going a certain speed, drive down the big street, sending waves of a very specific frequency through the ground. Sensitivity to this frequency is determined by the physical dimensions of the house, which is on piers. Theoretically, if a parade of trucks weighing just the right amount were to go by at regular intervals, driving just the right speed, the energy added by each vehicle would feed the standing wave, and my friend's house would collapse.
More generally, if the energy source is constant, such as telluric currents in the Earth, then the resonance of a structure coupled to it will augment and augment until it disintegrates under the oscillatory force. In other words, all it takes to destroy a non-damped structure "tuned" to a certain harmony is a constant stimulation that causes it to oscillate at an overtone of its architectural dimensions. And indeed the Tacoma Narrows bridge collapsed for that very reason. Everything was fine until that perfectly "tuned" breeze hit it for too long.
The wind isn't even strong enough to disturb the leaves on the trees, but when harnessed (inadvertently) by a coupled oscillator, it can destroy a huge bridge!
In "The Giza Power Plant", engineer Christopher Dunn argues that this is precisely what the Great Pyramid was designed to do: harness telluric currents to feed a standing wave concentrated in a cavity inside the structure. Hence the need for all those (probably poured concrete) stones with no space in between them: anything less robust would shake to pieces. It had to vibrate as one block. Hence also the need for the dimensions to be absolutely precise: were one side to be off by just a few feet, the focus in the center wouldn't be tight enough. (Imagine trying to pull off bank shots on a slightly rhomboid billiard table.) Dunn claims that the pyramid shows evidence of a massive shock wave that cracked and presumably broke it, which he attributes to a runaway oscillation. I suspect the pyramid was built fairly recently, in the last five hundred years, but that's a topic for another thread.
(Etymologically, "pyramid" means "fire in the middle", and we will come back to a startling coincidence there. Note as well that this line of inquiry suggests a better interpretation for the strange etymology of the word "focus", which means "domestic hearth" in Latin. I learned, in Latin class, that the hearth was the "metaphorical" focus of the household. Sounds like BS to me. Was the original fire at the center of focused lines of force?)
In other words, theoretically, any kind of constant vibrational energy source could be transformed into a standing wave that concentrates a stupendous amount of energy in one or more nodes. All it needs is a tuned, coupled oscillator (= a building) and time. There also needs to be some way to damp the structure (neutralize the standing wave through interference), otherwise it will eventually shake itself to pieces. This is the principle behind earthquake proofing. According to Dunn, even a structure as massive as the Great Pyramid was broken by the runaway effect of natural Earth vibrations so subtle that we cannot even feel them!
The following passage from the article about the cave in Finland confirms that in "cultures of the past", sacred architecture was not designed to avoid resonance but rather to make it possible. The researchers are confused, because too much resonance is bad for musical acoustics, and they can only imagine the function of these structures was musical or more generally aesthetic in nature:
Joseph Farrell, in one of his books, I can't remember which, brings up the work of Konstantin Meyl in this context (this is where I first heard of Meyl). If my memory is correct, he claims that energy channeled in this way to a standing-wave node can be transmitted over an essentially infinite distance instantaneously and with no loss of power. This is what "scalar waves" are: shortcuts between tuned, coupled, resonant structures through which information and energy can be transmitted.
(Joseph Farrell believes the pyramid was a weapon.)
Here is where I will rejoin some of my more recent speculations.
Is it possible that ball lightning forms at the nodes of standing waves once the amount of energy poured into them exceeds a certain threshold? Does a qualitative transformation occur once a quantitative limit has been surpassed? Is some chemical catalyst necessary for the fireball to form, such as water or blood? Remember, a few posts back, I reported the conversation I had with an emeritus physics professor from Auburn University who told me that ball lightning was "impossible to understand" because it was simultaneously a chemical and a physical process. Does some fluid function as the grain of sand around which a pearl forms?
Actually, something like this phenomenon is known and has a name, sonoluminescence:
I feel like we're really hovering over the target here.
Key sentences: "
The exact mechanism behind sonoluminescence remains unknown" and "
The phenomenon has also been observed in nature, with the
pistol shrimp being the first known instance of an animal producing light through sonoluminescence."
I have to pause here and comment on what exactly it means when they say "the mechanism is unknown". Knowledge is not additive. It is impossible to understand 90% of a phenomenon because that 10% you don't know might completely contradict the 90% you think you know. The autistic institutional science priesthood playing dress-up in their white lab coats love to buffalo us serfs with their knowledge but when all is said and done, tiny shrimp "know" more than they do.
Here is what I am imagining. We have a resonant chamber that is fed with telluric currents from the Earth. If the chamber is underground, so much better. When vibration at a specific frequency is induced, invisible standing waves will form that collect energy and direct it into a node at the center of the room (or more precisely, at a point somewhere in the room determined by its geometry). I am imagining a goblet full of some kind of fluid placed at that exact point. I am also imagining that the goblet functions as a magnifying glass. My guess would be that the altar would always be situated just underneath this point. I am now imagining some kind of phase transformation occurring inside the fluid once a certain energetic threshold is surpassed. This phase shift would cause matter to cohere and give birth to a ball plasmoid. In "Ball Lightning: Paradox of Physics", Paul Sagan provides several witness reports of fireballs hovering a few dozen meters above the ground which are struck by lightning and which simply absorb the massive electrical charge "without flinching". In other words, the lightning does NOT make contact with the ground below the fireball, but whatever is happening inside the fireball is so paradoxical that lightning seems not to affect it. Where does all that energy go? Does it disappear into some kind of invisible scalar grid and pop out of another fireball at some other location?
Fireballs are constantly forming in nature. It would appear that some kind of physical/chemical reaction occurs that produces a spherical "skin" which encases the scalar energy generated by the standing waves, prevents it from dissipating, and allows it to float free of the spot that created it. Kind of like a baby after the umbilical cord is cut. Or a cell. Does the chamber suddenly stop resonating, or reset to silence, when the fireball forms?
Okay, so back to our hypothetical chamber. There's an altar, there's an underground river nearby, there are hierophants singing to feed energy into the resonator, and there is a fluid chemical catalyst in a goblet situated over the principal node. Now we have a hovering fireball that exhibits paradoxical properties and which is perhaps alive. What do we do with that fireball? It occurs to me that the fireball could actually be
moved by changing the resonance in the room, in other words, by singing at a different pitch. This would cause the nodes to move, and I presume, the fireball with it. In other words, singing could perhaps function as a "magic circle" which holds the (otherwise unpredictable and dangerous) fireball in place. I am also imagining a complex architecture that is designed to funnel a fireball from one place to another. Is this the original function of the organ and the choir, and more generally, music? To move the fireball around?
Is this the origin of the occult practice of drawing geometric shapes like circles and stars on the ground to hold summoned "demons" in place? Is it because these geometric shapes direct resonant energy to a point in the center that "feeds" whatever is inside them?
Another possibility: given the idea that the scalar field is everywhere simultaneously, and that nodes are in instantaneous direct communication with other tuned nodes (I believe this is what Meyl says; if I am wrong, please correct me), would simultaneous rituals performed in harmonically tuned structures (say, on a Sunday morning) feed each other and create the conditions for some kind of direct communication to take place through these "portals"? Was all of Christendom once psychically connected in this way during Mass?
Are today's telluric currents simply too weak to induce the necessary resonance for something like this to happen? Are our churches simply no longer tuned to the Earth? Would it be possible to bury a geometric resonator deep enough underground to tap into currents strong enough to open a similar "portal"? Is that what that creepy CERN installation is?
If the idea of divine fireballs emerging from magic goblets seems fanciful to you...
Hmmm.
I'd like to conclude this post by circling back to a theme that has come up already and which I believe to be important, namely the concept of "Dark Matter Monsters" or organisms that can switch between cohered and decohered states. At
cosmic-core.com, I found the following image, without much explanation. The four traditional elements along with the fifth element, the quintessence or aether, are each associated with a specific geometric shape:
It just so happens that I recently read the 16th century alchemist Paracelsus' treatise on "elementals", the description of which is very similar to the description of cryptids in "Dark Matter Monsters":
Paracelsus claims that there is a kind of hierarchy of elemental spirits, which are similar to man in reason and intelligence, but which lack souls and therefore have no access to eternal life in Christ. For this reason, the four types of elementals (earth, fire, air, water) seek contact with man just as man seeks contact with God. Paracelsus was writing at a time (the mid-1500's) when I suspect there was still some living memory of a pre-cataclysmic world and the strange beings that inhabited it, and his "job" (he was a friend of Erasmus and all the other forgers of antiquity) was to take those memories and Christianize them. I bring all this up because I think it is very important that we remember that churches (as well as resonant caves) are above all places in which contact is made with "the other side" and the intelligences that live there.
I found a longer passage in "Ball Lightning" listing the reasons why some scientists entertain the possibility that fireballs are alive:
Note that the author, Paul Sagan, brings up the same "macro-scale coherent behavior" phenomenon discussed by several of the physicists cited in the Dark Matter Monsters post. Note as well his supposition that if they are alive, they do not quite possess a "soul", which is very similar to what Paracelsus claimed about elementals.
Now, we are deep in speculative territory already, but I think that is not such a bad place to be. Putting everything together: are the different geometric shapes associated with the different elements because the resonant frequencies associated with those shapes
call up, under certain circumstances, coherent-matter ball plasmoids "inhabited" by different kinds of elementals with different characters? Is man "designed" to correspond to the geometry of aether? Paracelsus affirms something like this, when he claims that man's natural element is a mixed and blended one and it is precisely for this reason that he has access to a soul.
Is this why the pyramid is named for the FIRE in the middle, at the FOCUS of the acoustic waves? Because the geometry itself of the pyramid summons the fire element and those entities that live there?
One last wild idea. Were baptism as well as occult initiation originally techniques for inviting a fireball to enter the body of the initiate and live there permanently?
Readers, please feel free to discard the speculative elements of this post and only retain those arguments which are grounded in quantitative science.
