Some time ago….
I had the unique privilege of reading the most
interesting tale about imperial dynastic China
– it was a very simple, brief story but it impressed me
so much that it etched and burned a
beautiful filigreed understanding in my mind that I have
never forgotten over the years. I
tried to see if I could find it somewhere, anywhere on
the net and to my dismay I could not.
That really sucks because I really wanted to share this
story with all of you because I knew
that if you only had the chance to hear the tale, you too
would appreciate it as deeply as I.
My only recourse then, is to attempt to recount the
story, by way of paraphrase and faded
memory to the best of my ability. I ask your patience for I wouldn’t be
surprised if I screw
up in some of the details, but I feel confident that the
story went something along the lines
of this ;
In ancient times, in China, it was customary for students
of the Master ( Confucius ? ) to be
given various errands, the purpose of which was their own
edification and learning and to
also fulfill humble meaningful service to their teacher
and to the just and rightful rulers of the
land at the time.
One of these errands, was one of thoughtful observation
of the masses, of the common
people, and to this end they were well trained by their
Master.
In essence, it went like this: The pupil was instructed to visit a village,
perhaps it was a village
on the far flung outreaches of a far away and remote
village, one in which the Emperors envoys
only checked in irregularly. The pupil was to go to the village to seek
out and discover what
state the community was in overall and then to report its
status back to his teacher, where
upon the Master would then take the findings to inner
council of the Emperor.
Upon arriving at the designated village, the task was to
walk, on foot, to its center upon sunrise.
Once at this location the pupil would find some area to
comfortable sit and then he would close
his eyes and simply listen.
All day he would sit until after sunset, listening, his
eyes closed all day long.
During this time, and from his arduous and length
training of observance, the pupil would soak
in all sounds coming in from all over the village, the
sounds close by and far away. He would
listen to the sounds of children laughing, playing,
mothers speaking, merchants shouting, people
arguing, the movement of resources, the sound of
equipment being used in foundries, the sound
of the wind, and of course the back ground tones and din
of the collective amalgamated noise
made by all and everything.
Shortly after sunset, like a medical wise-man taking the
pulse on the wrist of a patient, the pupil
would ascertain and diagnose the energetic pulse of the
village and by this diagnosis would
know intimately if famine was close, if rebellion was
brewing, if chaos or harmony would be
encountered within weeks or months..
The reason that I share this story with you is this ;
Over many years I have found that the fundamental
principle outlined in this story is absolutely
true and of extreme importance and benefit to the one
willing to gain the insight and master the
associated disciplines, certainly I know I have
personally gained immensely by this.
However there is more to this story or rather there is
much more to the set of dynamics involved.
The ‘Greeks’ had a word called ‘Kairos’, it means the
‘right moment’. I have found that when
one
can understand and combine the ‘right time’ with the
‘right place’, wondrous things may be
observed, enormous advantages may be gained, great things
may be accomplished and great
evils may be avoided or at least dampened.
There is admittedly a complex craft involved, however
various summations may be derived and
simplified for simple and rapid practical applications,
even by the common person, if they but
have some degree of access to the information, even when
and if that information is brief.
There are various tools and methods, some known by the
public to various degrees and some
not known that can be used in this pursuit.
Commonly known ones are those such as ’astrocartography’,
various forms of ‘geomancy’,
‘feng
shui’ and the like were used to ascertain the dynamic energies occupying
space. These
energies however could at times change over time and
often did and then different arts and
sciences would be used to measure and analyze the nature
of the ‘time’ component.
While I made a rigorous effort to understand these
crafts, in the end, I designed my own unique
approach to being able to ascertain what the specific
energies affecting a person, a place, a time
and of course even a person AT a certain place AT a
certain time would be.
This is part of what is offered as a service of course to
our members for example, here ;
One of the authors I have enjoyed in my journeys over the
years is Thomas Váczy Hightower.
It may have been ten years ago or more that I came across
his writings. I share some excerpts
of his here now with you and I encourage you to visit his
website. I trust you enjoy the following

Writings of
Thomas Váczy Hightower
The alignment of earth with
heaven, and man with the Supreme, was literally the
purpose of life. The entire
order and affairs of the State were dependent upon the
right tuning of the
fundamental tone, the ‘yellow bell’, or Kung.
For
the ancient Chinese, the alignment with the divine prime tone was the Emperor's
most important task.
As
an ancient text warns: “If the Kung is disturbed, then there is
disorganization; the prince is arrogant.”
If
the Kung was out of tune, because the celestial realm has changed, disorder and
inharmonious behavior
in
society became obvious. Every instrument (including measuring instruments) was
tuned and utilized in
accordance
with the holy tone.
The
instrument that could give to man the fundamental tone for a musical scale in
perfect harmony with the
universe
was the key to earthly paradise, and essential to the security and evolution of
society. It became the
Chinese
Holy Grail.
One
legend tells of the amazing journey of Ling Lun, a minister of the second
legendary Chinese Emperor,
Huang
Ti. Ling Lun was sent like an ancient Knight of King Arthur to search for a
special and unique set of
bamboo
pipes. These pipes were so perfect that they could render the precise standard
pitches to which all
other
instruments throughout the land could be tuned.
That
sacred tone, which relates to the Western modern pitch of F, was considered as
the fundamental cosmic
tone.
The Chinese were aware of the slow changing cosmic influence, and consequently
the Kung has to
change
accordingly. The Emperor had the task of tuning the Kung so it was in alignment
with the cosmic tone.
