The 12 Tone Scale

There are many people now-a-days talking about Harmonic Healing and Sound Healing. Most notable are the Tomitis teachers and associates, and this organization we highly recommend for people with hearing and learning difficulties.

However, there are many other people "out there" who speak only of the "C" scale in their writings, web pages and books. In our opinion, and according to the teachings of Pythagoras, any system that does not include the FULL 12 TONE structure is essentially flawed.

If you see any chart that says things like, "The Note C is connect to the Base Chakra" etc. then you can also consider that the person is not well versed in Harmonic Healing.

The reality is this: Your body will 'hum' to the Harmonic Music that suits it.  

You are already "singing the Harmonic" of your body, at a spiritual level, and at a molecular level. You can hear this tone in quiet moments. Have you heard that high pitched buzz in our around your ears? At Number Harmonics we can work out YOUR tone mathematically through the analysis of your name and birth details. Your Harmonic Chart is based on a series of "Tones" that are quite SPECIFIC to YOU.

Why is this important? A person who vibrates to the Note "B" will have a completely different response to the note "C" than the person naturally vibrates to "C". In fact, if you are a natural "B" harmonic, listening to "C" all the time can make you lethargic. (This is very important to understand if you are buying a crystal Bowl, or similar)

Once more ... Why is this important? Simply put: If any system does not incorporate ALL 12 NOTES then THROW IT AWAY. It is next to useless, and worse, it COULD be causing you obstruction. Please note: There is a LOT of wrong information out there regarding Harmonic Healing

The Curse of Sharps and Flats

A lot of misinformation come about because of the use of Sharps and Flats. Many people believe that the "C" scale is the most important, but really, while it is the key note for Planet Earth, it is just one of 12 scales, which all relate to 144 other scales, which relate to 1728 other scales, and so on.

How did we get stuck with this "Sharp" and "Flat nonsense in Music? How on Earth did we end up with the "Black Notes" on the piano?? You can blame the Catholic Church.

We need to know a little about the history of how the 12 Note scale was thrown to one side and WHY the "C" scale was used for almost one thousand years to the exclusion of all other scales. To understand how the "C" scale came about as the "primary" scale in music we need to look at the Catholic Church.

During the 6th Century, during the period of the Iconoclasts (and immediately prior to this) a rampant angst against anything that was not "Pure" Christian belief became a driving force for all Church doctrine. It was in this period that the Court of the Holy Inquisition was first set up.

At this point in time, the Catholic Church actively destroyed and denigrated all other 'opposition' faiths. They considered the MUSIC of these faiths to be degenerate and "Devil Music". Even the universities dedicated to Pythagoras and Plato had to close down. Only the Catholic Universities remained, and only Catholic thought held sway.

So why did we end up with the "C" scale as the important one?

The Catholic Belief was simple... Certain combinations of notes could form "Devil Chords". (These are the same chords you hear in Horror Movies) If these Chords were played, it would release Devil's to walk upon the Earth. Music was seen as a powerful doorway to the Divinity, but it could also be used as a doorway to the hordes of hell. So music had to be constrained and confined to what was "safe".

These so-called "Devil Chords" are the same chords you hear in the mystery and horror movies ... To the superstitious medieval mind, it really could sound like you were releasing Devils.

The short and the long of it is simply this ... The Seven Notes that could not form any "Devil Chords" are what we call the "C" Scale. It is as simple as this, and so the "C" scale became the only one that could be played. In fact, if you played a note from any other scale, you could be burned at the Stake for Heresy.

Prior to this, music was numbered from One to Twelve... One was what we now call "A", 2 is "Bb", 3 is "B" and so on until we get to 12 which is Gb/Ab. The 13th note became the start of the next octave, and so 13 = 1 or "A".

In the Dark Ages, if you got caught playing that "evil" Bb note ... You could get burned at the stake. No one was ALLOWED to play what are now the Sharps and flats, or the Black Keys on the piano. Did you ever wonder why the early spinets had only the white keys? The net result is that music theory at that time evolved to Seven notes, which became the letters A to G.

During the Reformation the "missing" notes were included back into the Musical Alphabet, but by this time the 7 note system was entrenched, and so we got the "black" notes stuffed between their former position in the 12 note sequence ... It caused concerns about where these "new" notes could be placed on the keyboard.

It was resolved by putting the "Black notes" between the white notes at the appropriate places. Then, to top off this lunacy, to try and make sense out of this nonsense these "Black notes" were called Sharp when above the white note, and flat when below it. (But in the meantime Bb and A3 are the same note!)

This led to some of the pretty ridiculous logic inversions in modern theory and this, of itself, is what made learning music much harder than it needed to be.

Safe to say, we have a 12 Note Scale. We have ONE PATTERN that selects a scale, and everything in theory is simple a VARIATION of the One Pattern. It is a little like Lord of the Rings ... the One Ring to join them all...

Of course ... We are not here to teach you music theory, but how to APPLY the mathematical information of a date of birth or a name to a Music Scale.
