  1. triangle 180 degrees, F#=182 square 360, F# = 364 pentagon 540, C#544 hexagon=720, F#728 septagon=900, A# ; 916 octagon 1080, C#1088 There is more variance in these numbers as they gets higher in the frequencies but they are close enough for the instruments to follow and then adjust to compensate for the variance. If you look at the piano tuning here (James Furias keyboard) and compare it with the chart around 13:15 on the video, you'll see that most of the notes in the first two or three octaves are very close, usually within 2 cents which well trained piano tuners can hear without listening for beats between the frequencies. Even 8 cents is only a slight difference, just barely noticeable as being flat for musicians to have tweaked the strings a touch to fit the harmony, but are (were) still able to get to the (barely flat) note by following the factor 9 grid built on 432 (13:15 on video) which lines up with geometric angles. you can hear the differences here: tone generator. Yes, they are barely audible, but folk instruments and singers are often even more out of tune than 8 cents. A440 does not have any of these consistencies with sacred geometry, while they are very consistent with 432. Note, I'm saying there is something to it, not that it's responsible for world domination.
  2. I didn't see anything in your article nor the other 3 that specifically addressed the main point of that video: when you add up the angles of the major 2D and 3D geometric shapes (the Platonic solids) you get the frequencies to form a major chord in F# according to the frequencies congruent with A432, and this doesn't work with the notes congruent to A440.
  3. Ha, I was just thinking why I hadn't heard the term "harmonic alchemy" before. edit to add after speed reading the article: You should check out the following video for why 432 is considered congruent with sacred geometry (has to do with adding the angles of geometric shapes, etc..). I think we'd agree though that music has far more to do with the emotions expressed via replication of emotional tone. If someone screeches with joy, sadness, pleasure, frustration, relief, etc., it will have an effect on people too. I've heard that the Moors used tuned strings to free up fluids in the body, similar to ultra-sound therapy. I wouldn't be surprised if they used A432 tunings and passed their musical theories on through Europe. If we have an innate response to certain frequencies, it may be better that we aren't constantly subliminally activated by them anyways....

    Correct, it's not a picture of Thutmose IV, and I was mistaken. This doesn't, however negate all of the other images of Ancient Egyptians being African people of color, as shown throughout this thread. If you go to the link vortex provided and just scroll through to see all of the pictures, you will see again that they all have in common - dark skin, and often African hair textures and styles. Sure, there were a variety of looks, especially as we get further away from the earlier kingdoms, but why do you ignore that so many were Black? You say that race is not an issue here: tell that to the majority of the world who base their ideas of Africans on the already existing skewed version of history, including ignorance about the Blackness of the Ancient Egyptians and a vast portion of those who held power during Moorish rule in Europe. This false narrative of Africans in history keeps people in the dark about the reality and unreality of race, and the facts that I'm showing here shine a light on that darkness to show, with evidential proof, that current theories and histories of racial/cultural development are completely B.S. Race IS an issue in today's world, and just saying that it isn't won't make it go away. Ignoring these facts of history only robs people of the chance to see the FACTS of history that prove that modern ideas of racial hierarchy are not based on history as they claim to be, because if we are to have any theory of racial hierarchy based on history, these facts would show the opposite of what the "official history" has taught. Obviously, innovation has progressed more in the last 100 years that it has in the last 5000 years, and that has been a result of all races, humanity, working together. However, Black people still suffer the residual effects of this history being overlooked as either inconvenient or "not important." When these facts are finally accepted by the mainstream, there will truly be no foothold left for the racism that Black people suffer every single day.

    Seriously though, why do you guys have to get offended just because it wasn't your race who brought this stuff to the foray?
  6. The Moors re-civilized Europe after the fall of Rome

    "People of colour" would apply, at the very least. Again, I'm not saying anything about people who are not of African descent, just that advanced knowledge proliferated amongst and was spread by people "of colour" from Northern Africa, in "The Black Land" Khemet, before Greece; and it later proliferated amongst and was spread by descendants of military generals and soldiers who were respected as deserving all rights given to any other Muslim, at a time when the descendants of many Americans were clueless of science and maths and medicine and somehow even hygiene. Say it, I'm white and I'm... not ashamed that my ancestors may have been taught how to wash themselves by Black Muslims.
  7. This is true for martial, but chi gong doesn't require tension outside of tree-standing, imho.
  8. hello everyone. looking for help...

    Check Michael Lomax and Stillness-Movement Taoist medicine practitioners. Someone there can likely help you.
  9. The Moors re-civilized Europe after the fall of Rome

    Race is an utterly useless concept. Unfortunately, this is not the view of most likely the majority of people in the world due to the false mythology that Black people's history goes back to jungles and slavery. What I am trying to help bring to this community is the fact that the tables were turned in the past in order to squash any conceivable argument that common race theory has any truth to it. I said it before and I'll say it again -- I am a white man. I'm not an Afro-centrist. I simply accept the reality of history. It doesn't make me feel inferior, as a white man, to know this stuff. The link provided by vortex shows a number of other artifacts showing the dark skin and afro hair of Ancient Egyptians. For those who are interested, I suggest checking them out. I don't see why any of this has to suggest superiority of one race over another. Admittedly, the title of the thread was provocative, but one paragraph into the topic and that should have been overlooked.

    In regards to hair, see King Thutmose IV http://www.africanglobe.net/africa/60-royal-mummies-discovered-egypts-valley-kings/
  11. Animal communication

    Rather amazing: http://www.superstarmagazine.com/animal-whisperer-calms-an-angry-panther-life-changing-for-both-cat-and-man/ "It’s true that animals always try communicating with humans but we are often not listening. This journey of a panther who was abused in the past is so inspiring and touching at the same time. The soul energy exists in all humans and animals, and when aligned on the same level is where the magic happens. This animal whisperer proves to us that she can talk to animals and understand their needs and wants, including finding out about their past very accurately. It’s completely mind blowing that what the panther told the animal whisperer has been confirmed as true by everyone who knows about the panther’s past." Reminded me of this too: http://www.fivespirits.com/po.php (edit to add video from link)

    If you watch the interview with him he ends by saying "make people laugh." So it's no wonder when the camera's on him that he clowns around while he's doing his thang.

  15. Hello all, looking for help with energy medicine gone wrong

    If you push energy around your body but it never releases, try shaking/bouncing as a warm up or as part of a qigong sequence. You'll see it demonstrated at the beginning of this video, though you might want to shake your feet and ankles out too. The style demonstrated here is a great one for releasing, but not limited to that. Another style that employs this shaking technique is Michael Winn's "Five Treasures qigong" which I also highly recommend (it's like a Five Animals/Primordial Qigong short form, made to be simple, balanced, and easily effective, ime). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvCaY7n8-1s

    That was an inspiring share. Thanks Yu! Some more inspiration:

    Another quote from this article: "The freeing of slaves is recommended both for the expiation of sins (IV:92; V:92; LVIII:3) and as an act of simple benevolence (II:177; XXIV:33; XC:13). It exhorts masters to allow slaves to earn or purchase their own freedom. An important change from pagan, though not from Jewish or Christian, practices is that in the strictly religious sense, the believing slave is now the brother of the freeman in Islam and before God, and the superior of the free pagan or idolator (II:221)."
  18. Personally, I think I may believe in Jesus, but more as a What than a Who. Who is Jesus? What is Jesus? The What of Jesus, an ambiguous principle of calm and peace and truth and honesty, tenderness, compassion, ..... Evoking Jesus in this has power, imo, much the same with other gods of the same disposition.

    I like the description of healing by pleasure vs. healing by pain in the second interview, and also about the different sources of energy. I remember talking about the power of concerts before. It's really interesting to hear the "seeking energy experiences" description being spoken of so fundamentally (for lack of a better word choice). [1] What might be some other hidden gems of high energy-experience? A fully savoured wulong tea, the presence of thoughtful people, helping others .. [2] What about the interaction of people while playing music together, [3] working together at work together; [4] and how can we use these moments to cultivate the transformation of energy of everyone involved (musicians, colleagues, audiences, customers, etc.)? (For people who think this might a violation of consent -- Do you want to have bad luck and low energy? or good luck and high energy? Sorry.) [5] Also, is it possible to do this in internet communities like this one? [6] Is it possible to transform the negative intentions of others in the same way that we transform our own negative energies into positive energies, for the benefit of all involved? Thank youuu!

    The pyramids are said to have started with Imhotep (circa 2600 BC). Also credited with many temple buildings is Mentuhotep II, pictured below, who reigned 2046 BC – 1995 BC:
  21. new verses of the DDJ

    Excellent teachings, reflecting the wisdom and principle of following the way of Dao. I believe there are sacred teachers beyond the physical, and sacred principles which are passed on more by these teachers than any physical teachers, so thank you Shaman Flowing Hands for sharing what your teachers and masters have explained to you. 和
  22. Gathering questions for an interview with Dr. Jerry Alan Johnson

    Tie this in with the question of Christianity?: 1) It has been suggested by one member here (yours truly) that one could explain De as akin to the virtuous creative force which other religions worship as God. Does this make sense in your understandings of Daoism and Christianity? Also: 2) How would you explain the relationship between De and Dao in the Universe, creation, and in Neidan/Neigong. Thank you so much for your consideration and time.
  23. The Moors re-civilized Europe after the fall of Rome

    Okay, so then you agree or not that 1) the Moors, and 2) Ancient Egyptians were primarily (racially) Black or no?
  24. The Moors re-civilized Europe after the fall of Rome

    Thanks for posting those excerpts Nungali, but cranio-facial and dental similarities don't determine white, so why do they determine "black." They were black, while maybe appearing more East African. By the "one drop rule," they would be considered as Black (which is an identifiable group, requiring capitalization, while most white people don't really culturally identify as "White," they just mean their skin is white).
