The Holy Overtones






Harmony is a key to Heaven.

What is harmony? What does harmony really mean and what is occurring? How does harmony exist and conversely, what is distortion?

Harmony is resonance with the wholeness that IS.

Harmony may only be harmonic in it relation to the oneness upon which it is relating. Distortion then exists as a variance of harmony less it would not be distorted, just as our ideas of being separate could not be without wholeness to compare to.

Harmony is the “sudden” realization that we are a part of a “larger” relationship realized through hearing or feeling more. We realize that we are a part of a larger harmony (or family) of vibration experienced through our music; through consciousness.

An interesting observation is that when we harmonize, say by playing three notes (a chord) simultaneously within a musical scale on a piano, more than three vibrations are heard, or sound, or vibrate, or resonate. We are familiar with this understanding of sympathetic resonance through Physics, but let us look at this another way.

What we are experiencing are the overtones, “The Holy Overtones.”

The chord (or harmony) we strike (or sound) “calls” out to the notes within the "other" octaves (or heavens, angel choirs, dimensions, etc.), and we experience more. We may only strike (or play) one note, middle “C” for example and when we listen closely (or observe) we hear lower and higher versions of the note, or harmonies within the “C” chord. This is how sound and harmonies reveal Heaven, or the “more” that we “are”.

We are energy which experiences life through the senses as vibration, or waves of sound and light. Overtones are “higher” or expanded glimpses of organized families of harmonies of which we are a part and are integral.

The interconnectedness of wholeness is revealed through the “mysterious” language of music (vibration) that occurs with the playing of one note, or one heart.

When one note plays all notes (or strings, or beings) vibrate to a certain degree (or frequency) and it is the harmonic relationships which determines the vibration sounded, or how the strings resonate: "the celestial music of the spheres".

Harmonics and overtones are the doorways and windows into the "more" that we "are".

  1. Heard your music and singing over the weekend. Praise the Lord for your talent and you appear to be using it effectively. The harp is the most favorite instrument - would love to learn to play it.Yes the harmony that you find in music should permeate our lives, relationships, etc...
