“Everything in Life is Vibration” - Albert Einstein

“If you want to find the secrets of the Universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration” - Nikola Tesla

Everything, from our cells to the cosmos, is organized information. Through our senses, which act as captors of this information, we experience and perceive the world in a particular way. We are living in a kind of "Matrix". Morpheus famous quote from the first Matrix movie (1999) explains it well: "What is "real"? How do you define "real"? If you're talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then "real" is simply electrical signals intepreted by your brain..." So, what is real?

As we have limited senses (in terms of frequency scales our senses can capture), we experience the reality in a limited way. However, we can expand our sensory library and discover new elements of information, as well as explore other forms and sources of information. Let's begin by understanding the abstract concept of the vibrational nature of our reality through the lens of sound.

Sound is an acoustic wave that propagates through a medium such as air or water. When it reaches our ears, the vibrational information is sent to our brain, which translates it into sound.

If you are more interested in physics, here is a more precise explanation: matter is made up of atoms that contain protons and electrons. These are electrically or magnetically charged particles of energy that are constantly in motion, and this motion can be heard. The vibrations of atoms and molecules in the air are audible because they create changes in pressure. These vibrations set the air molecules in motion, causing them to propagate outward. When they reach a receiver like our ear, they make our eardrum vibrate. These vibrations are then detected by the nerves, which translate them into sound.

Would sound exist if we didn't have ears to hear it? Well, the answer is no! We could perceive sound as vibrations through our body since sound waves actually travel three times faster through water than through air and that our body is mainly composed of water (approximately 80% to 60% as we age)! In space, where there is no water or air, no sound would be heard—unlike in Star Wars movies!

Another beautiful example that helps us understand how sound waves work is their use in the animal kingdom for communication and navigation. Dolphins, for instance, employ their famous sonar communication, using echolocation through the water to perceive their surroundings. Bats do something similar but through the air, allowing them to "see" sound vibrations echoing against surfaces, and navigate in the darkness using this technique.

If the entire world exists in the state of vibration, we are only perceiving a part of it.

Indeed, taking sound as an example, the human ear can hear within the range of approximately 20Hz to 20,000Hz. One Hertz (Hz) represents the number of sound waves per second. This brings us to the concept of frequencies! A frequency is measured in Hertz, representing the number of times a wave repeats itself per unit of time—specifically, per second. Frequencies below 20Hz are called infrasonics or infrasounds, while those above 20,000Hz are referred to as ultrasonics or ultrasounds, both of which are inaudible to the human ear. Although vibrations that are not physically perceptible still affect us, they can be perceived and felt if we enhance our faculties of perception, both physically and intuitively, for example through clairaudience.

When you think in terms of vibrations and frequencies, light, smell, taste, touch, the food we eat, the music we listen to, the words we speak, the colors we see... all are actually vibrational information that we interpret as the world we are living in. Our brain interprets the vibrations captured by our senses, and that is how we experience this world.

I like the metaphor of a website: imagine your brain experiencing the world through these vibrations (sounds, colors, shapes...) just as you would experience browsing a well-designed website. As you scroll, everything is clear and organized with colors, clickable buttons, meaningful words formed into sentences and paragraphs, and pictures. However, behind this website, there are imperceptible series of binary code, sequences of 1s and 0s, that come together to convey specific information. These signals are series of electrical pulses that literally vibrate, enabling the computer to translate them into a beautiful website that we can experience. Similarly, our brain acts as a computer, translating all the vibrations that compose this "matrix" so that we can experience this world with our own unique perception.

Also, there are different scales of frequencies and vibrations. So far, we have discussed sound waves, which are mechanical waves that require a medium to travel through, such as air or water. Light waves, on the other hand, are electromagnetic waves and can travel through a vacuum. We will also delve into brain waves, the vibrational activity within our brain and neuronal system, later on.
