Good Vibrations, Vedic Soundwaves

[Guest guest]

Good vibrations

February 9, 2006

 

"These scientifically sculpted soundwaves, Master Charles explains,

have their genesis in the stone caves of the Himalayas, where the

yogis of the old Vedic tradition would "sit like pretzels" and chant,

or play droning stringed instruments to assist oneness with the

universe."

Master Charles' modern mysticism vibrates in sync with quantum

science. Michael Dwyer investigates what the bleep he knows.

 

First the scary news. The way Master Charles sees it, we have about

six years to get our act together. According to several ancient

sources in his estimable body of philosophical research, 2012 (or

thereabouts) will be "a crossroads for humanity", for better or worse.

 

The good news is harder to swallow. The self-described modern mystic

from New York has a plan for averting Armageddon with a pair of

headphones and something called holodynamic vibrational entrainment

technology, also known as High-Tech Meditation.

 

Shhh... listen. As he sits in silk pyjamas at his Australian

residence in East Ivanhoe, a wide view of Yarra Flats before him and

a shrine to his Indian guru, Paramahansa Muktananda, to his right,

recorded electronic waves lap the room, allegedly working subtle

magic on our mutual consciousness.

 

These scientifically sculpted soundwaves, Master Charles explains,

have their genesis in the stone caves of the Himalayas, where the

yogis of the old Vedic tradition would "sit like pretzels" and chant,

or play droning stringed instruments to assist oneness with the

universe.

 

Which was all well and good for them, but as the West awoke to

Eastern mysticism in the 1960s and '70s, Muktananda saw the need to

contemporise this ancient path to enlightenment. Some years before

his death in '82, he bestowed that duty on a young American monk in

his Maharashastra monastery, Charles Cannon.

 

"So I went back to the cave," Master Charles says. He began to

measure the cave's size, shape, composition and vibrations. After

years of experiments with primitive tone generators, frequency

counters and brainwave monitors, he launched a meditation cassette

through his fledgling Synchronicity Foundation in Virginia that

ostensibly replicated those primal vibrations.

 

Twenty years later, he jokes that while he'll never win a Grammy, his

many CDs have sold platinum around the world - although he specifies

that royalties are funnelled into prison meditation programs.

 

The modern monk's purported aim as a recording artist is to bring his

audience closer to God, or Source, or unity consciousness - the

terminology gets tricky at the impossible end of human comprehension.

 

And so to the burning question: why does all this sound, to the

casual inquirer, like a dodgy load of New Age bollocks?

 

"OK, let's go back to before creation," Master Charles says. And

here's the rub. This wisdom doesn't lend itself to nifty sound bites.

To explain the cynicism and denial of unity that defines the human

mindset, which, in turn, explains the dreadful mess we're in, we must

go way back to "The Void" that preceded the Big Bang.

 

Only then can we follow the devolution of negative energy from "the

positive wholeness of nothing", until we reach the polarised illusion

of separated reality in which we now wallow. And only then can we

grasp the urgent necessity of shedding that illusion, in order to

realise we are all one being, and thus negotiate the crossroads of

2012 in peace.

 

In broad terms, Master Charles' version of reality will be familiar

to anyone who saw last year's cult New Age/new science documentary,

What the Bleep Do We Know? The film implied a cosmic link between the

unravelling mysteries of sub-atomic physics and the principle of

universally shared consciousness - or life source, or God, or here-we-

go-again-withthe- naming-rights-issue.

 

Although his orthodox training is in comparative religion and

philosophy, Master Charles pointedly champions "science, not

superstition". Like many on both sides of the fence, he perceives

modern scientific thought in perfect harmony with his spiritual

philosophy as an ordained monk of the ancient Vedic contemplative

order.

 

"Newtonian science could be looked at as negative-dominant - the

subject studies the object, but there's no unification of the two,"

he says. "Today, as our instrumentation increases, we can look more

subtly and we can see a little deeper into the nature of

reality. "When we get into quantum science, we see there is an

interaction between observer and observed. At the sub-atomic level or

the subtler levels of our experience, we can see it's all made of the

same stuff.

 

"Really, in essence, we are one, or there is unification within

whatever we want to call that stuff: consciousness, energy,

intelligent energy..." He waves his hand to signify the semantic

quibbles potentially separating scientific argument from spiritual

enlightenment.

 

"There is growing consensus among some very fine quantum physicists

that there is enough evidence to call it consciousness," he says. "We

now have to acknowledge that there is a unified field of experience,

or a unified consciousness that is the substratum of being. And

that's what all the great holistic models of being have said."

 

Put as simply as that, the full circle between God and science is not

without holes. Associate Professor Martin Sevior from the school of

physics at Melbourne University says that while he's also spiritually

inclined, and even enjoyed What the Bleep Do We Know?, he has

reservations about some of Master Charles' assertions.

 

"Quantum science has all sorts of beautiful consequences," he

says. "But whether or not my brain activity interferes with or

connects with yours, there's certainly nothing in quantum physics to

indicate that.

 

"It's by no means a mainstream idea. Nobody is coming and giving us

colloquiums here about the quantum physics of consciousness. But

that's not to say it's not valuable thought," he adds.

 

In a sense, valuable thought is Master Charles' aim. The global

expansion of his Synchronicity Foundation parallels a massive growth

in the number of people meditating. The modern mystic cites another

mystifying theorem, Spiral Dynamics, to explain why that's a good

thing for the wellbeing of humanity. In layman's terms, the gist of

it is "the more, the merrier", especially when we're heading for the

same crossroads anyway.

 

"The crossroads is either the annihilation of human life as we know

it or a quantum leap in consciousness," he says. "The question is, do

we want to sustain life, so we can evolve with quality, or are we so

unconscious that we don't care that we make a mess of it?"

 

Master Charles presents One Day Empowerment on Saturday from 10am to

5pm at the Camberwell Centre, Camberwell. Bookings: 136 100. Details:

Dear Prabhuji, dnadavats

 

Do you have any information of how the present IT

world is using sankrit for programming software to

enhance this science.

This is an information resource and discussion group

for people interested in the World's Ancient Vedic

Culture, with a focus on its historical, archeological

and scientific aspects. Also topics about India,

Hinduism, God, and other aspects of World Culture are

welcome.

Remember, Vedic Culture is not an artificial

imposition, but is the natural state of a society that

is in harmony with God and the environment.Om Shantih,
