Some people say that our reality has a resonance of 432 Hertz
also known as the heart Chakra,
and that this resonance is sacred,
it is the heartbeat of the earth
I have concluded that they are right
but this tone...
432 hertz
is much more sacred than people know
Do we humans have the desire for war and destruction?
Or do we just let some guide us in this direction?
What is wrong with the world of man?
What is wrong with us?
The legend began this way...
Paul Joseph Goebbels was a german Nazi politician
and Reich minister of Nazi propaganda in germany
he was one of Adolf Hitler's close associates
and most devoted followers,
known for his skills in public speaking
and his deep violent anti-semitism,
which was evident in his publicly voiced views.
Amongst other things he advocated progressively
harsher discrimination
including the extermination of the Jews
in the Holocaust.
he ordered in 1939 to replace all tuning forks to the frequency 440 Hertz,
before that period
instruments were tuned to 8 Hertz lower
to 432 Hertz.
when you compare the same composition in 432 Hertz and 440 Hertz
there is definitely a difference
there are many theories why we still listen to music at 440 Hertz
some even claim that 432 Hertz
is in harmony with the vibration of the Universe.
And now we are somehow blocked,
from this so-called channel
does this claim has validity or not?
we better find out the answer!
This topic of the change from 432 Hertz to 440 Hertz,
in our contemporary music,
has become a kind of a myth
it is unclear and people are not quite sure what to think about this subject
just putting blame on one man, seems vague
and deserves another kind of approach.
Hearing diverse opinions and arguments from both parties,
has never hurt anyone.
A musician strikes the fork and tunes the string of the instrument representing La or the key of A.
From there,
the musician can tune in to all other notes.
Today standard fork produces a vibration of 440 Hertz,
or 440 cycles per second,
due to its chemical compounds.
The argument about this subject in recent years
is that it has been deliberately altered
and has a conspiracy around it,
in the fact that a standard adjustment has been made.
some people,
who research this topic proposed that this change was officially approved
because they discovered through a study
founded by the Rockefeller Foundation
that determined that 440 Hertz music
was good for making people work harder
and promoted
personality traits more in tune
with the character of Spock of the Star Trek series.
These characters are based on pure traces of the left brain
that stifle creative thinking and nullify emotions.
It is clear why these traits would be desirable in Nazi Germany
during the Third Reich.
It would also explain why modern music
which changed to the 440 Hertz standard in 1939,
had such a negative affect on today's culture.
We see an increasingly prominent advertisement on television shows today
where these left brain traits are presented as cool,
and a model to follow
is this something we should worry about?
much is made of the fact that 440 Hertz is unnatural,
and creates discrete disharmony for listeners
The argument raised is that when the two frequencies are examined in cymatics experiments
the patterns show that 432 Hertz
creates distinct forms
that indicate that they resonate with nature.
The 440 Hertz tuning creates indistinct patterns
that reveal a lack of coherence
and a sense of disorder.
In the course of my research,
I have discovered that these arguments are well
presented and make a lot of sense
but, what is on the other side of the coin?
A coin always has two sides...
let's start with the official records on the tuning aspect of instruments throughout history.
A 440 or A4
is also known as the Stuttgart pitch.
which has a frequency of 440 Hertz
is a musical note of a above middle C
and serves as a general tuning standard for musical pitch.
The International Organization for Standardization classifies it as ISO 16.
Prior to the standardization of 440 Hertz
other frequencies were standardized upon
although not universally accepted
it serves as the audio frequency reference
for the calibration of acoustic equipment and the tuning of pianos
violins and other musical instruments.
Before the seventeen hundred's was very difficult to tune instruments with each other,
until the tuning fork that was imagined in 1711 in England
by John Shore
who was trompet of King George.
The pitches of musical instruments produced change over time
due to heat and mechanical wear and tear
so until the tuning fork was invented
there was no simple way to make tunings consistent
among different regions
and even performances in one region
however,
even after the invention of the tuning fork
there was no single standardized tuning
but all change with the invention of the tonometer by Johann Heinrich Scheibler
Who lived between 1777 and 1838
After several meetings
of organizations, the standard became 440 Hertz.
by the indication of Scheibler himself,
One of the scheibler famous tonometers can be seen at the french Polytechnique.
Scheibler was a music enthusiast,
who has made himself famous for his acoustic discoveries
he devised a system to easily tune the instruments
even for na untrained ear.
When two bass sounds are simultaneously produced
the vibration numbers of which differ little from each other
we hear alternations of strength and weakness
which succeed each other at equal intervals.
If these alternatives are close enough,
the strokes are only distinct.
It was by using this theory that Scheibler imagined a process for tuning organs.
This man has changed the music industry forever,
And because of his influence,
we still use his recommendation of standard A as 440 Hertz.
If someone is to blame about a standard pitch is definitely him and not Joseph Goebbels.
It was only in 1936,
that the American standards Association recommended that the A above middle C
be tuned to 440 Hertz.
This standard was taken up then by the International
Organization for Standardization in 1955
it was reaffirmed by them again in 75
as ISO 16
When you do a deep research on this topic you will realize that there is no conspiracy
what actually exists is a pattern of development towards industrial manufacturing
that dictaded a standard tuning.
imagine all orchestras...
with all of their instruments using a different tone
nowadays most of all commercially produced contemporary music
is tuned to A 440 Hertz.
Nevertheless,
most symphony orchestras simply ignored the standard
and tune to 441
442, and sometimes 443 hertz instead.
while orchestras specializing in older music may sometimes tune
in a tuning close to the one for which the piece was originally written
which may range from 415 Hertz to 470 Hertz.
The tuning of instruments is more a question of taste,
some people like it better at 440 Hertz
claiming that has a brighter sound
but of course,
the change to a standard tuning of 440 Hertz
made some composers upset
because they use a different tuning for their compositions
one of them was the famous Italian Giuseppe Verdi
who used 432 Hertz tuning for his compositions
and that is why the frequency of A at the standard of 432 Hertz,
is known as Verdi's tuning.
It was first proposed in 1713
by the French physicist Joseph Sauveur
and promoted by Giuseppe Verdi in the 19th century
and it was then advocated by the Schiller Institute in the beginning of the 1980s.
but is still sometimes favored in scientific writings
for the convenience
of all the octaves of C being an exact round number
binary system when expressed in hertz.
And probably,
this is the reason why the argument has made to recent years
is more a question of mathematical precision than other thing.
But this mathematical precision,
is what made the research a lot more interesting!
The number 432 has special properties
and it has been involved in mysticism over the years.
for exemple :
An equilateral triangle whose area and perimeter are equal
has the area of exactly the square root of 4 3 2.
so you can see the repeated pattern,
the number 4 3 2 has the four Primes
the three equal sides of the triangle
and number 2 of the square root,
4 3 2 again!
According to Ananda Bosman,
international researcher and musician,
archaic Egyptian instruments that have been unearthed
are largely tuned to A = 432Hz.
Ancient Greeks
tune their instruments predominantly to 432 hertz as well.
Within the archaic Greek Eleusenian Mysteries,
Orpheus is the god of music, death and rebirth,
and was the keeper of the Ambrosia and the music of transformation.
His instruments were tuned at 432Hz.
Guiseppe Verdi as we know,
placed A key exactly at 432 Hz.
He did this because this tuning
is ideal for opera voices.
Jamie Buturff, sound researcher,
found out that some Tibetan monks used this tuning in their hand-made instruments.
Story goes that,
he put a CD with the Tibetan singing bowls into his player
and used the Korg tuner
to discover that the bowls were all harmonic to the 4 3 2 music scale.
this musical tuning can be found throughout various religions and
cultures of the ancient world
it seems that implementing it to the musical instruments
was a good choice, even today many musicians report positive effects
from returning to the 432 Hertz.
Such as better audience response
and a more laid-back feel to their performances.
In 1884 Guiseppe Verdi wrote a letter
addressed to the Music Commission of the Italian Government
In the letter he writes:
According to Brian T Collins a musician and researcher,
the standard pitch A at 440 hertz.
The greatest musicians, such as Mozart and Verdi,
based their music on the natural vibration of a at 432 Hertz.
it is true...
that is only eight vibrations per second different from the standard tuning
but this small difference seems to be remarkable to our human consciousness
there is a growing musical and metaphysical movement for recovering
optimal integrity in the music industry and spirituality through the 432 Hertz tuning.
In April of 2008
claiming that this original tuning was used in ancient
cultures and is found on antique instruments like the Stradivarius violin.
According to Richard Huisken
music tune to 432 Hertz is softer and brighter
giving greater clarity
and is easier on the ears.
many people experience more meditative and relaxing states of body
and mind when listening to such music.
The natural musical pitch of the universe
gives the more harmonic and pleasant sound than 440 Hertz
432 Hertz seems to work on the heart chakra "the feeling"
and therefore would have a good influence on the spiritual development of the listener.
The fact is that the 432 sequence appears throughout history
it's a mystery of our days,
and in the next chapter I will explore to the deep
history and to the work of one of the great scientific minds ever to live
Nikola Tesla
until then...
take care!
