Dear Great-Grandchildren: Today I want to talk to you about another bit of mystic knowledge from long ago. Please know that the past is not just the past; it is very important. It is your physical beginning, your background, your foundation, and your ancestry, and will always remain a part of you. Some of your actions, ideas, and thoughts have not always been truthful, pure, devoted, lovely, or lofty -- they may have even been ugly or hurtful to others at times. Keep a watchful eye on your thoughts and actions. There is an age-old saying, and I quote, "As I think, so will I be, because my actions will become the outward expression of my thinking. Let me therefore think aright." Hopefully, through the years you will be able to improve on the past. This particular bit of the mystic knowledge from the past was especially fascinating to me. We are told by the teachers of antiquity that the formation of the Universe out of Chaos was brought about by the word of creation....by "SOUND". One of the secrets of sound is that every object and every person has a keynote - the sum of their vibrations responds to one particular note of the musical scale. If a person's note is sounded gently and melodiously, it has a healing and constructive influence. If it is sounded in a loud, harsh, continuous manner, it has a destructive influence and can make the person ill or unhappy. If you can discover the note belonging even to a particular object, such as glass, and sound it very loudly into the glass for a little while, the sound will shatter the glass into pieces. There is even an incident mentioned in the Bible. It is written that the walls of Jericho fell because of the use of this law. The keynote of the walls was purposely sounded by the continuous noise of the trumpet under the instructions of someone who understood how to utilize this technique. The sounds by which we are surrounded every day are mostly harsh, monotonous and noisy. Have you noticed that in any average group of people or meeting, everyone shouts and talks at once? Even some singing and music can hurt our ears, grating beyond words. Trains, cars, buses, all add their quota to the hideous noises we have to endure. We must listen to sounds that are offensive to our nervous systems. One way to counteract these effects would be by healing the damaged nerve centers with complete silence for a short period every day. If you can discover your personal keynote and play it repeatedly, gently, it could revive you as if by magic. Anyone who wants to get the very best out of life should shun inharmonious noises and useless chatter. They should feed their spirits and nerves with beautiful music; they should sing often, aiming at rhythm and resonance rather than loud, high notes. We should watch and guard our words, remembering that in speaking we are building definite forms, whether for good or for evil influences. Lastly, it should be remembered, as all the Wise Ones were aware, the greatest inspiration and wisdom humanity has known came during periods of complete and profound silence. Mahatma Ghandi said, "There comes a time in the life of every man when all he has is what he is." When this time comes, we tend to earnestly desire to find an answer to why we were born, where we are going, and if there is any rhyme or reason, any justice in life, or anything to hope for or work for. When someone arrives at this stage in life, it marks a very important crisis in development. It is as if we have been asleep most of our lives, and now comes the awakening. It is at this moment that we change from a puppet to an individual and joins the honored company of The Seekers. Are you a Seeker? This is the real beginning of acquiring ancient secret knowledge which hopefully will be your path and your journey to wisdom. Until later, Your Great-Grandmother Marilyn
