The Serpent's Song Read online

  Angi’s quick observation to Vette was, “What exquisite crystals, just like the ones on a first snowfall.”

  “Yeh” replied Vette, “It reminds me of home.”

  Myttrwn ignoring the comments continued, “Just before we begin I would like to comment briefly on water. Water, two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen, is everywhere. It is in you and throughout your world. It’s even in the air you breathe. For that reason, prior to your present materialistic age, water was considered holy and used for sacred rituals, drinking or bathing. Today, your waterways have become dumping grounds which will reap dire consequences if unchanged. I’m sure you have detected our drinking water is crystal clear and filled with energy. That was once typical in your world, but no more. Basically, whatever impacts water effects everything.”

  Remembering her recent trip to Ireland, Angi thought out loud, “The Celts used to have, and some still recognize, sacred wells.”

  Myttrwn did not respond but pressed on, “You will see that healthy water, which I’ve used, when frozen, creates symmetrical hexagon crystals. I do not have a sample but polluted water cannot do this, instead it creates a chaotic pattern or, in some instances, is unable to form any pattern. Now let’s begin.”

  While he spoke the group stared at their crystals wondering what role these would have in the upcoming experiments.

  “First we’ll test sound on crystals. Please watch your crystal’s reaction to what you refer to as classical music.”

  The group stared at the crystals while the music filled the room. The crystals shifted slightly to create a unique hexagonal pattern.

  Angi was pressed to ask, “Myttrwn, would the crystals form a different pattern with another piece of classical music?”

  “Let’s see,” replied Myttrwn as a different piece of classical music filled the room.

  The group watched as the crystals formed a different, but consistently beautiful pattern.

  Myttrwn continued the experiment, “Next, I will play a segment of what is labeled in your world ‘heavy metal music.’”

  When this music filled the room the crystals reacted, unable to form any pattern, and eventually dissolved into a scrambled mess.

  “I can almost feel the crystals struggling to do something but the noise is too overpowering,” came Andrew’s observation.

  “If we accept that everything is alive, then Andrew, you are witnessing how garish music affects crystals. Sound is a travelling longitudinal energy wave. Each musical note corresponds to a particular frequency which is measured in hertz (Hz) in your world. Music, a universal language, adapts to the needs of the brain. These two examples demonstrate how different types of music affect the energy system in these crystals. Remember, your cell membranes are liquid crystals and there are other crystals in your body. They will react like this to sound.”

  “This is the reason classical music is said to benefit animals and plants. So, other than classical music, how would we know what sounds are beneficial?” asked Wolfram.

  “The miracle note of the universe exists at 528 Hz. This sound is linked to the heart of everything as well as to the emotion of love. Calming sounds like chanting, laughing, your ordinary voice and nature have all been designed to function at 528 Hz. It is also the frequency needed to repair your DNA. Music tuned to 528 Hz, like the classical music I just played, can bring much healing. As you have now witnessed, music can be spiritually uplifting or degrading.”

  “You mean that the music people listen to can be making them sick. Now that’s a real eye-opener,” said Morgan. Turning to the others he added, “Imagine the uproar if we told people their choice in music could be more polluting than their environmental worries. This, of course, opens the whole topic of noise pollution.”

  “That is something we’ll discuss further when we delve into a later topic on healing,” came Myttrwn’s reply. “Know that the study of sound and its effects on humanity will become the greatest benefit to mankind in the years ahead. Eventually you will discover that sound can even nullify the power of gravitation which will open a new power source for your world. There are remnants of the effects of sound on people found in your communities where rituals still involve drums, singing and chanting. Unfortunately, during the Kali Yuga much of the scientific background to sound energy has been lost. But let’s move on.”

  “The spoken word also has energy. You will recall a phrase in one of your ancient books, which I will now quote, ‘In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.’ Words are powerful. The utterance of certain letters or words has been recited by spiritual and mystery schools in your world as a means of exciting certain nervous centers.”

  “Is that the purpose of mantras?” asked Vette.

  “Mantras are precise and specialized tools created by those with the awareness and ability to use them to create some spiritual insight or healing. Mantras are one example of the power of words. Now let’s see the effect of words on your crystals.”

  “First, I will bring in the calming voice of a woman describing a scenic tour of a European coastline.”

  The group once again watched as the crystals formed a different but pleasant symmetrical hexagon pattern in response to the sound and words.

  Before anyone could comment, the next sample, a bombastic news broadcast reporting on killings and disasters, locally and internationally, filled the room. Immediately, the crystals scattered, struggled, and eventually formed a chaotic pattern.

  “Now that’s impressive,” came Bryce’s response. “I’m not surprised. I always thought our twenty-four hour news broadcasts of sensations and calamities were damaging our brain. Isn’t it amazing, the very media which demands ongoing input into our lives could be their own, and our, worst enemy.”

  “Just a minute,” came Dylan’s swift reaction. “You’re not inferring the communication of news is bad for us. The alternative would be that we are kept in the dark and live in danger of the unexpected.”

  “Let’s say some balance, more positive news, might be helpful,” came Andrew’s input, squelching the potential of an argument. “Surely, having a steady diet of fear and calamities can’t be doing us any good.”

  Myttrwn interceded, “Very good. This experiment was to show you that words can improve your energy or sap your light. Fear stifles your ability to move forward. Just think, if the crystals respond to a relatively normal media broadcast, what do you think is happening when words are accompanied by outbursts of anger or hate?”

  “And just think of the consequences of film and video games,” replied Angi. “Most of these are filled with violence, noise and aggression. If you thought changing music preferences might be difficult, imagine trying to alter the film and video game world.”

  “While grappling with these money making empires could be definitely daunting, Angi, what about the everyday word pollution which occurs in gossip sessions, cocktail parties or through today’s technology,” came Morgan’s reflective input. “It’s no wonder certain individuals crave solitude. Wouldn’t it be ironic if the current generation reaches a point of word overload and at sixty become hermits?” Everyone laughed.

  “In addition, Myttrwn, we are also aware of the power of words which you use to create these magical teaching props. But I expect that is at another level all together,” came Andrew’s pointed input.

  “Indeed, Andrew. In time, we’ll address this form of word power. But right now time is passing and I would like to do one more experiment, this time with your thoughts. I want you to think, but not vocalize, the words ‘I love you’ over your crystal dish.”

  The group did as instructed and watched as the crystals responded by forming another symmetrical pattern in response to the positive thought.

  Quickly Myttrwn added, “Now I want you to do the same thought process but this time use the phrase ‘I despise you’ and say it with feeling.”

  The group again watched a similar reaction to the rock music and the negativ
e news broadcast as the crystals struggled to create a pattern in response to the negative thought.

  Myttrwn followed up with, “As you can see, thoughts can also produce an electrical disturbance, positive or negative. Thoughts and emotions are vibrational energy waves. Emotions hold the vibrational pattern in the liquid crystals which exist in your body. For this reason, positive feelings such as caring and love can affect not only your immediate surroundings but the world at large. Sometime in your distant future, at the time of the Treta Yuga, mankind will comprehend that everything is made up of ideas and thoughts. As a result mankind will be able to more effectively manipulate and control such energy.”

  “Wow, this is an awakening. I had no idea thoughts had such power,” came Angi’s reaction. “Our culture has taught us that negative thoughts don’t matter. As long as you refrain from any overt action no harm is done. This test demonstrates that those who harbour or promote resentment, hate, or anger, are destroying the world even if they say they are not involved in any outward conflict. The question is how to redirect people to understand that their own thoughts are causing such damage.”

  “OK, if the global mess we are experiencing on Earth can be attributed to the thoughts of people, how can we change their thinking,” asked Wolfram? “That, to me, is an impossibility.”

  “We will discuss this later, Wolfram. But first individuals will need to understand the power of their thoughts on energy. Then they will need to start getting rid of the negativity in their world and redirect their thinking,” replied Myttrwn, pleased that they were beginning to grasp the enormity of the problem.

  “I’m curious,” Morgan added, “Does telepathy eliminate unwanted thoughts?” He now suspected this ability was more prevalent than he had first thought.

  “Actually, Morgan, it doesn’t totally eliminate the problem. Some become skilled in blocking their thoughts.”

  Vette couldn’t hold back, “But still, if thought pollution clung to people like a rash, people would probably make every effort to change. In our world, negative character traits such as meanness of spirit, unkindness, self-centeredness, avarice, and greed are sometimes difficult to spot. Perhaps one day people harbouring selfish thoughts and negative emotions would be considered unattractive even if physically beautiful. I expect telepathy would also enable us to see the impact of our thoughts and words on other people. Now that’s scary.”

  “You will likely have much to think about after today,” was Myttrwn’s signal the session was winding down. “What I want you to understand from this exercise is that sound, words and thoughts can have positive or devastating effects on people. This is especially true now that you have entered the World Wide Web. But before closing I have one more point to add.”

  The group looked at each other wondering what to expect.

  “You should also realize that your intentions also have energy. Intentions can have a measurable effect on physical objects. For example, if intentions can affect the chemistry of water at a great distance, what effect do you think intentions are having in your world? I’ll leave this for you to ponder.”

  “You know that fits into something I’ve read recently,” said Morgan. “There is now evidence that a researcher can affect his or her own research. How can we be sure that the results being reported have not been influenced by the researcher? This could have major implications.”

  At that moment, a single command from Myttrwn caused the laptop desk and crystal dishes to disappear. As he stood to leave, he added with a smile, “As you discuss this further may it not pressure you into silence. Its purpose was to have you understand the powerful effects of positive music, words, thoughts and intentions on your life and the world around you. Understand, much of your negative thoughts on reality were instilled from childhood, fostered in your educational system and are being daily reinforced by your media. These negative energies can deplete your light and lead to illness. Your brain now must come to terms with a different reality. The underlying question is whether you are able or willing to change.”

  While the intent wasn’t to create silence, the walk back to the House of Learning was mostly muted as each member struggled with Myttrwn’s gentle introduction to an altered reality.

  House of Learning, Dining Area

  As was their custom, the group headed to their dining area, picked up a refreshment, and selected a seat, not knowing what to say. Dylan was the first to speak.

  “That session put the kibosh into a lot of things,” came Dylan’s frustrated response. “All I need now is a sound gauge to find music at the 528 Hz level, reduce my desire for news, and definitely cool my intentions and thoughts. In summary, to imitate those students we’ve been encountering. By the way, how do they get their news anyway? There are no television monitors that I can see.”

  Morgan had been waiting for the chance and responded, “Has it dawned on you that they are all telepathic? I first thought only Myttrwn and Sirona had the ability, but I’ve changed my mind. Being telepathic they have no need for news broadcasts they just know. I haven’t yet figured out how that works in a learning situation.”

  “Wow, just think of the implications in our world when we become telepathic as Myttrwn’s seems to infer.” Glancing at the smiling faces Vette went on, “I know………. I know……… it’s centuries away. But it will definitely be a blow to the communication industry.”

  “I’ll have to think about that, Morgan,” came Dylan’s hesitant response. “If you are right, then we’re at a decided disadvantage. If everyone can read our thoughts and we can’t block them, then our actions are known before we make a move. Angi can you do anything with your medallion?”

  “Sorry, Dylan, I can’t,” came Angi’s reply, “I just learned what Sirona taught me was just enough to get us here in one piece. My time with Myttrwn has shown me that my medallion is not one of a kind, similar ones have been made. But I did learn that this medallion is programmed four levels above most medallions.”

  “Any idea what that means, Angi?” asked Wolfram.

  “Not yet,” came Angi’s hesitant reply, “I’m still struggling with whether I even want to proceed. Whatever I decide it’s for life.”

  Startled by her comment Wolfram reacted, “You mean you might not proceed with the training?”

  Andrew, understanding the enormity of Angi’s predicament, interjected, “Wolfram I expect this is a decision that Angi must make by herself.”

  Angi’s glance at Andrew confirmed his suspicions.

  Wolfram caught the signal and made no further comment on the topic.

  But Morgan seized the opportunity saying, “Then let’s get back to our discussion. In music, I expect that there is a range of positive sounds. We’ll need to explore this further with Myttrwn. I definitely need to know more.”

  Bryce waiting to comment added, “I’d like to talk about words. You know the impact of certain words is not so strange. Some computers and robots already respond to verbal commands. I admit, Myttrwn’s magical demonstrations are definitely in another league. Yet, we must remember that we’ve fought a war over the impact of a charismatic speaker on his people. Words can be more dangerous than you think.”

  Wolfram listening, decided to make his contribution, “I must commend Dylan on his superb summary of today’s session and I agree with Bryce. While I may have had my suspicions, I had no idea how powerful music, words, thoughts and intentions could be. Just imagine what this is doing to our world. I’ve also noted that while Myttrwn cleverly leads us into his Sacred Science, I have an uneasiness it’s going to come at a price……….I don’t suppose any of you can answer that one?”

  Remembering the quiet inference from Myttrwn and Sirona that the entire group would have a future role, Wolfram’s comment registered with Angi, and forced her to say, “Surely, Wolfram, Myttrwn can’t expect a small group like us to make any major impact in our world. The majority of people in the Western nations would scream like mad ab
out their God-given right to listen to, say and think whatever they want, irrespective of its effect on their own health or their environment. After all, no one to my knowledge has every suggested that any of this negative energy might be killing them.”

  Vette now entered the discussion, “But Angi, change is already happening. In the past decades there have been improvements in the environment, admittedly, the steps taken are minute and do not include the entire globe.”

  “But Vette, do you actually envision people changing their choice of music based on its negative impact to their health,” came Angi’s reply, denoting her own skepticism at such a change.

  Morgan jumped in, “Not likely. But Vette may have a point. If people realized that certain sounds, words, and thoughts were causing serious illness then maybe, just maybe, they might change. Just look at the decline in smoking.”

  Angi couldn’t resist, “Oh help. Morgan, you are about to step into the wild world of health prevention, something that has had little headway in decades. The reasons are obvious, there are too many people and industries who are currently making a fortune on illness.”

  Vette caught Angi’s gist and added, “You’re right, Angi, people fight when they sense any threat to their lucrative income, or am I being a bit cynical?”

  Andrew could see the implications, and decided to wade in, “I must say this session has stimulated an amazing response from all of you. I agree with Wolfram, Myttrwn and Sirona have a game plan, but the details are still obscure. These sessions are leading us onward. Myttrwn is not a man to waste valuable time. Whether its destiny or fate that brought us here, we will be expected to do something. Let’s wait and see.”

  “You know, after this session I just realized what Myttrwn was gently trying to say to us in his first session. Our world, viewed from their more enlightened position, must seem like an unpleasant, loud, noisy, rough, undisciplined, and backward neighbour, one best left alone for fear of contamination,” came Dylan’s assessment.
