166 OCCULT PRINCIPLES OF HEALTH & HEALING
Phoebus’ wheels are rolling, singing—
What sound intense the light is bringing.”The invisible sound-vibrations have great power
over concrete matter. They both build and destroy. If a
small quantity of very fine powder is placed upon a
brass or glass plate and a violin bow drawn across the
edge, the vibrations will cause the powder to assume
beautiful geometrical figures. The human voice is also
capable of producing these figures; always the same
figure for the same tone.
If one note or chord after another be sounded upon
a musical instrument—a piano, or preferably a violin,
for from it more gradations of tone can be obtained—a
tone will finally be reached which will cause the hearer
to feel a distinct vibration in the back of the lower part
of the head. Each time that note is struck, the vibration
will be felt. That note is the keynote of the person
whom it so affects. If it be sounded in a dominant way,
loud and long enough, it will kill as surely as a bullet
from a pistol. If, on the other hand, it is struck slowly
and soothingly, it will build and rest the body, tone the
nerves and restore health.
