“Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates.”–The
Kybalion.
This Principle embodies the truth that “everything is in motion”;
“everything vibrates”; “nothing is at rest”; facts which Modern Science
endorses, and which each new scientific discovery tends to verify. And
yet this Hermetic Principle was enunciated thousands of years ago, by
the Masters of Ancient Egypt. This Principle explains that the
differences between different manifestations of Matter, Energy, Mind,
and even Spirit, result largely from varying rates of Vibration. From
THE ALL, which is Pure Spirit, down to the grossest form of Matter, all
is in vibration–the higher the vibration, the higher the position in
the scale. The vibration of Spirit is at such an infinite rate of
intensity and rapidity that it is practically at rest–just as a rapidly
moving wheel seems to be motionless. And at the other end of the scale,
there are gross forms of matter whose vibrations are so low as to seem
at rest. Between these poles, there are millions upon millions of
varying degrees of vibration. From corpuscle and electron, atom and
molecule, to worlds and universes, everything is in vibratory motion.
This is also true on the planes of energy and force (which are but
varying degrees of vibration); and also on the mental planes (whose
states depend upon vibrations); and even on to the spiritual planes.
An understanding of this Principle, with the appropriate formulas,
enables Hermetic students to control their own mental vibrations as well
as those of others. The Masters also apply this Principle to the
conquering of Natural phenomena, in various ways. “He who understands
the Principle of Vibration, has grasped the scepter of power,” says one
of the old writers.
Absolutely any and every thought we have is energy vibrating at a certain frequency. Interestingly enough, what we see, while also being something vibrating at a certain frequency, is perceived by each of us based upon our own frequency. I may look at a wild flower and see something beautiful while someone else may see only a weed. We have each seen the same thing but perceived it so very differently based upon our own unique vibration at the time.
Mastery of vibration is why it is said in the Bible “he passed amongst them unseen”. (Luke 4:30) Jesus was said to have moved through the crowd safely despite dangers all around him. For most people, the mastery comes in the form of learning to transmute thoughts and feelings from turmoil to peace. As it says above, though, there is much more to this than positive thinking. Understanding and utilizing The Principle of Vibration opens the door to real, present-day miracles.
