CHAPTER IX

VIBRATION

"Nothing rests; everything moves; everything

vibrates."--The Kybalion.

The great Third Hermetic Principle--the Principle of Vibration--

embodies the truth that Motion is manifest in everything in the

Universe--that nothing is at rest--that everything moves, vibrates,

and circles. This Hermetic Principle was recognized by some of the

early Greek philosophers who embodied it in their systems. But,

then, for centuries it was lost sight of by the thinkers outside of the

Hermetic ranks. But in the Nineteenth Century physical science re-

discovered the truth and the Twentieth Century scientific discoveries

have added additional proof of the correctness and truth of this

centuries-old Hermetic doctrine.

The Hermetic Teachings are that not only is everything in constant

movement and vibration, but that the "differences" between the

various manifestations of the universal power are due entirely to the

varying rate and mode of vibrations. Not only this, but that even

THE ALL, in itself, manifests a constant vibration of such an infinite

degree of intensity and rapid motion that it may be practically

considered as at rest, the teachers directing the attention of the

students to the fact that even on the physical plane a rapidly moving

object (such as a revolving wheel) seems to be at rest. The Teachings

are to the effect that Spirit is at one end of the Pole of Vibration, the

other Pole being certain extremely gross forms of Matter. Between

these two poles are millions upon millions of different rates and

modes of vibration.

Modern Science has proven that all that we call Matter and Energy

are but "modes of vibratory motion," and some of the more advanced

scientists are rapidly moving toward the positions of the occultists

who hold that the phenomena of Mind are likewise modes of

vibration or motion. Let us see what science has to say regarding the

question of vibrations in matter and energy.

In the first place, science teaches that all matter manifests, in some

degree, the vibrations arising from temperature or heat. Be an object

cold or hot--both being but degrees of the same things--it manifests

certain heat vibrations, and in that sense is in motion and vibration.

Then all particles of Matter are in circular movement, from corpuscle

to suns. The planets revolve around suns, and many of them turn on

their axes. The suns move around greater central points, and these

are believed to move around still greater, and so on, ad infinitum.

The molecules of which the particular kinds of Matter are composed

are in a state of constant vibration and movement around each other

and against each other. The molecules are composed of Atoms,

which, likewise, are in a state of constant movement and vibration.

The atoms are composed of Corpuscles, sometimes called

"electrons," "ions," etc., which also are in a state of rapid motion, revolving around each other, and which manifest a very rapid state

and mode of vibration. And, so we see that all forms of Matter

manifest Vibration, in accordance with the Hermetic Principle of

Vibration.

And so it is with the various forms of Energy. Science teaches that

Light, Heat, Magnetism and Electricity are but forms of vibratory

motion connected in some way with, and probably emanating from

the Ether. Science does not as yet attempt to explain the nature of the

phenomena known as
