Author’s Preparatory Comment¹

Reference is made to Humanity’s Wrong Turn/Humanity’s Challenge; the first book published by the Center For Vibrational Studies on its website. Best practice is to have read that book first since it is in that book that you, the reader of these words, can learn about Humanity’s Wrong Turn and the challenges humanity now faces in “course-correcting” this wrong turn.

Simply stated: Humanity’s Wrong Turn occurred when Humanity (or, more particularly, its members) began treating words, symbols and images as only words, symbols and images instead of treating words, symbols and images as what they really are: sounds/marks/vibrations superposed upon the vibrations that lie beneath them and imbue them with meaning (i.e. vibrations with meaning).

When Humanity (or, more particularly, its members) adopted a way of “thinking”, “measuring”, “projecting” and “storytelling” (current kind of thinking) embedded only in “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image”....giving no “thought” to the fact that all “words/symbols/images are sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning pointing (like signs) to the vibrations that lie beneath them.

In other words, Humanity’s Wrong Turn occurred when humanity (or, more particularly, its members) turned a “deaf ear” and a “blind eye” to their true nature (vibration) and the true nature (vibration) of their:

“bodies/brains”,

“words/symbols/images”,

“verbal realities/minds”,

“projections/measurements/thoughts”

“verbal statements/stories”.

A new kind of thinking is needed; a new way of thinking”, “measuring”, “projecting” and “storytelling” that is embedded in these sounds/marks/vibrations

with meaning; it being a new way of “thinking”, “measuring”, “projecting” and “storytelling” in which you can now be “schooled”.

*****

Admittedly, this current kind of thinking in which Humanity is now being “schooled” is responsible for many “advances” that are unique to “our species” when compared to other species.

Yet, this current kind of thinking has also led to many problems that cannot be solved using it; some of these problems relating to the extinction of many “species” that have lived on our planet (“Earth”) and the possible extinction of many more “species” including, potentially, even “us” through what can be thought of as “eradication” through “war”, “global warming”, the “carbon footprint”, “disease”.

Problems that require a new way of “thinking”, “measuring”, “projecting” and “storytelling”:

A new kind of thinking that treats vibration as being the true nature of all that exists;

A new kind of thinking that educates each of we presences called “human” (as a vibration having his/her own unique vibrating characteristics) in a new way of “healing” and a new way of living together and interacting, interconnecting and communicating with each expression of all that exists (no matter what its “name”, “number” or “species”).

*****

Yet, there is always the matter of proof isn’t there; this burden of proving “true” to “the mind” what the “body” and “its brain” already knows and what the mind can know if it would only really “listen” and really “see” word/symbols/images for what they really are:

Sounds/Marks/Vibration

With Meaning.

Diving deep, Beneath Words, is not easy; particularly if “your mind” has been educated (current kind of thinking) to treat “words”, “symbols” and “images” as only “words”, “symbols” and “images” rather than educated (new kind of thinking) to treat “words”, “symbols” and “images” as sounds and marks (vibrations) pointing to the vibrations that lie beneath them and imbue them with meaning.

In other words, diving deep, Beneath Words, is a difficult journey; particularly if one of its goals is to course correct Humanity’s Wrong Turn.

Linguistic mechanics are needed to facilitate this journey, Beneath Words, and to experience this new kind of thinking.

The linguistic mechanics used in my writings are mostly simple linguistic tools -- two examples being:

The phrase: now thought of and called

The word, “called”.

Other examples are quotation marks (“ ”), different forms of print (bold, italic, bold italic), four dots (....), some dashes (--), a forward facing slant (/), footnotes and a dividing of a complex verbal statement into multiple parts (frequently in a downward stair stepping manner indicating a deeper dive, beneath words, is occurring).

The purpose of these simplistic linguistic tools being to disrupt the normal cadence (the rhythm) of your reading style so that you can focus your mind

....not only on the specific word highlighted by the linguistic tool....

....but also on the vibration that lies beneath it and to which the highlighted word is pointing (as a sign).

However, there is one linguistic tool that I use and that is initially quite difficult to understand; that being a natural process called renormalizing....a natural selecting process....that is really much more than a linguistic tool.

Concerning This Process Called Renormalizing

There exists among we presences called “human”, certain “groups” called “physicists” and “mathematicians” that use this verbal process called “renormalizing” for the purpose of cancelling out “infinities” in order to make their mathematical calculations “finite”.

In other words, by “cancelling out” these pesky “infinities”, these physicist and mathematicians establish “boundary conditions” within which their calculations work....while understanding that these “infinities” do exists.

As it turns out....although not currently thought of in this manner, this process called “renormalizing” is really a vibrating interacting (selecting) process -- a natural selecting process -- by which what exists, physically, in potentia (the “infinite”) becomes physically present (“finite/real”).²

Although more will be stated about this vibrating interacting process along the way, while being engaged in this new kind of thinking, always remain “mindful” that although this process called “renormalizing” is typically thought of and called a linguistic mechanic (which it is), this linguistic mechanic is the process that each of we presences called “human” use when making a verbal choice (a verbal act of selecting)....

....this process called renormalizing being much more than just a linguistic tool;

....it being representative of a vibrating interacting (selecting) process (a Creative Process) by which “all that exists” emerges and exhibits a natural bias (an Historical Bias) favoring acts of selecting previously made.

Why Engage This New Kind Of Thinking?

All “minds” are products of these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”; each “mind” and “its verbal reality” being two vibrating existential states created/informed by these sounds/marks/ vibrations with meaning -- it being within these vibrating existential states that these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning serve as vibrating linguistic lenses called “projections”, “measurements”, “thoughts” through which the “mind” (while dwelling within its “verbal reality”) views and produces its “stories” about what is real/not real.

In this sense, if a “mind” (while dwelling within its “verbal reality”) “thinks” of a “word”, a “symbol” or an “image” as being only “a word”, “a symbol” or “an image” -- nothing more; then it will remain stuck in a current kind of thinking that treats “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” in only this way.

However, there is another way....that being to engage in this new kind of thinking; it being a new way of thinking that will produce a Global Mind Change -- if all minds simply listen.³

*****

So....please keep these preparatory words “in mind” as you, the reader of these words, move onward in your Journey, Beneath Words. And, please keep in “mind” that when you are speaking, writing, listening or reading “words/symbols/images”, you are always doing so in code since

Each “word/symbol/image” is a vibration that (i) is expressed in the form of a sound or mark and (ii) points to the vibration that lies beneath “it” and gives “it” its meaning.

Learning to listen to and read these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images” being Humanity’s real challenge.⁴

PREFACE

We start this segment of your journey, Beneath Words, by focusing upon your “name”; or, more particularly, the word that represents your “name” for the purpose of reminding you that: you are not that word; the presence that you are is not that “name”.

You (or, more particularly, “your mind”) may be confused by what I am asking you to do since you, most likely, have a “name” comprised of two or more “words” such as (for example) my name: William Bruce Sechrest. To be sure, each word is “your name”: each “name” is a word. So, simply choose one of these words that comprises your “name”. Then, verbally speak/sound or verbally mark/write this word.⁵

At birth, you are given a word in the form of a name much like the underlying physical phenomenon -- the underlying physical presence -- that is the source and substance of all that exists was given a name by your predecessors -- your ancestors; those early members of your tribe or community who as a group verbally selected the best word by which to identify this underlying physical phenomenon -- this underlying physical presence.

That best word may be the word, “Father”, or the word, “Mother” or another word of similar import. Or, that best word may be the word “Nothing” as in (“no” “thing”) until this “Nothing” becomes “something” (“some” “thing”) that is physically measurable and then given another word, more appropriate for the occasion.

No matter: Prior to the first word ever emerging, this underlying physical phenomenon -- this underlying physical presence -- existed and it still exists “NOW”....in this present moment of your reading “my words”.

Indeed, if you quiet “your mind”, you will feel “this underlying phenomenon” -- this underlying physical presence pulsating through “you” as “life” (i.e. “your life”); your reading of my words being indicative of the fact that “you” are “alive”....

....that we both are participating in a physical reality in which the words that I sound/mark and the words that you listen/read are present.

Words are interesting phenomena -- interesting presences. They exists and they do have a “life” of their own for as long as they exists....which can be a long, long “time”.

How words are used is important. Once produced, they provide a short-handed way (verbal code) for describing/explaining (simulating) what is happening beneath them and beneath the symbols and images that accompany them.

There was a time when “your sounded word” was “your bond”; a “bond” that other presences in your surrounding could rely upon. And, there was a time when “your marked word” served a similar function. Those moments have passed.

There was a time when the use of the written (marked) word had to be managed efficiently -- that time being when “ink pen” and “parchment” were the marking tool and smooth surface of choice.

No more....that moment has also passed and in its place has come the present moment when words, symbols and images are digitally flooding the “airways” with incessant breaking news and claims that what is being verbally stated is “true/not true”, depending upon who is speaking to whom.

Thus, now is the moment when understanding the true nature of “words” (and the “symbols” and “images” that accompany them) is required since the only way we presences called “human” can understand our true nature and the true nature of our “lives” is to understand the true nature of “our words”, “our symbols” and “our images”.

For it is then and only then that we presences called “human” will understand the power of “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” as well as the power of “our

minds” and “our stories”.

~~~

Diving deep beneath words, symbols and images into the sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning that create and inform them is quite difficult. Diving deeper beneath these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning into the vibrations (the vibrating somethings of substance) that “live” there is even more difficult.

You, most likely, have experienced this difficulty, if you have read the first two books that I have published on the Center For Vibrational Studies’ website:

Humanity’s Wrong Turn: Humanity’s Challenge

Beneath Words: What Lies There

These two books may be sufficient for you (or, more particularly, “your mind”) to accept through verbal agreement my “proof” that what I am verbally stating concerning words, symbols and images and what lies beneath them is “true”.

However, my experience is that it takes more than one or two “readings” for a “mind” to change; particularly when it comes to shifting that “mind”....

....from a current kind of thinking in which it is embedded and toward which it is “biased”....

....to a new kind of thinking about which I am writing and, admittedly, trying to have “your mind” accept.

In other words, my experience is that it takes more than one or two readings to have “a mind” (e.g. “your mind”) accept, verbally, that what is being stated is “true”....particularly if the verbal statements appear to be inconsistent with the current kind of thinking in which “the mind” (“your mind”) has been trained.

Therefore, to supplement the verbal statements that appear in those first two books previously mentioned, I, the writer of these words, have produced eleven other books bearing the title Beneath Words, each in its own unique way setting forth new, identical and similar verbal statements set forth in these first two books.

My purpose in doing so is two-fold:

(i) To give you different verbal views of what lies

Not only beneath not “words”, “symbols” and “image”;

But also what lies beneath these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning.

(ii) To address this “burden” called “proof” -- this Matter of Proof -- in other similar but not identical ways -- using these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” to do so.

Having started this segment of your journey, Beneath Words, in this manner, we continue by presenting, verbally (as a Prologue to this book) in a bit different way what has previously been stated concerning the Center For Vibration Studies and why I, the writer of these books, write the writings that appear on the Center’s website.

Forgive the repetition.⁶

PROLOGUE

“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” Albert Einstein

A Journey

You, the reader of these words, have now embarked upon your journey, Beneath Words; a journey in which you are being introduced to a new way of thinking about the words, the symbols and the images that inform your “thinking”; a new kind of thinking that is offered for the purpose of supplementing the current kind of thinking in which you and all of humanity is currently being schooled.

Your journey is similar to a journey that I have taken and that I am now setting forth in these series of twelve books: it being a journey that I introduced through my book, Humanity’s Wrong Turn: Humanity’s Challenge; it being a journey in which you are now engaged.

The purpose of this journey is to prove to you that Humanity did make a wrong turn a long time ago and that this wrong turn will continue as long as Humanity continues to use a current kind of thinking embedded in only “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” -- nothing more.

To prove to you that Vibration is the source/substance of “all that exists” including this vibrating physical reality in which each “body” and “brain” dwells as a vibration having vibrating characteristics unique to its “species” and to “it”.

To prove to you that Vibration acts upon itself and all that it exists through a natural selecting process -- a natural process of renormalizing -- that is really a vibrating interacting process frequently called “evolution” or an “interacting force” (such as the “forces” labelled “strong”, “weak”, “electro”, “magnetic” and “gravitational”).

To prove to you that what are now thought of and called “words”, “symbols” and “images” are really sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning that create and inform two vibrating existential states (each a vibration) now thought of and called “verbal reality” and “mind”; these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images” being used by “the mind” as vibrating linguistic lenses called “projections”, “measurements” and “thoughts” through which “the mind” views and produces “stories” about

What Is Real/What Is Not Real

Yet, there is always this Matter of Proof -- isn’t there? This matter of “proof” being a “burden” that must be satisfied through appropriate evidence if “any mind” (including “your mind”) is to accept through verbal agreement that what has just been stated is “true”.

~~~

What follows in this Prologue is a brief description of the Center For Vibrational Studies and the writings appearing on the Center’s website

www.centerforvibrationalstudies.com

as well as a brief statement from me as to why I wrote Humanity’s Wrong Turn: Humanity’s Challenge and these twelve books.*

__________

*Although similar statements have been made in the previous two books published by the Center, it seems best to restate....in a bit different way....what has previously been stated for purposes of reminding you why the Center exists.

1. Concerning The Center For Vibrational Studies

The Center publishes books. The first book the Center published is Humanity’s Wrong Turn, Humanity’s Challenge. The twelve books that follow each bear the primary title, Beneath Words, with a subtitle attached; their purpose being to:

(i) not only prove to you that Humanity made its wrong turn when it chose to treat “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” as only a “word/symbol/image”;

(ii) but also to prove to you that once you choose to dive deep beneath the “words/symbols/images” into the sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning that lie there, what you discover is that

Life Is Vibration/Vibration Is Life

Specifically, each book addresses these matters:

I

Absent the presence of words, symbols and images, nothing could be verbally stated nor could any verbal story be told. Present the presence of words, symbols and images, anything can be verbally stated about anything and anything verbally stated in the positive can be verbally stated in the negative. Thus, concerning words, symbols and images, the relevant questions are:

What is their true nature? How did they emerge?

Answer: Words, symbols and images are vibrations with meaning (expressed in the form of sounds and marks); their meaning emerging from a vibrating reality and a vibrating source/substance (Vibration) to which they are pointing (like signs). They emerge from the body in a manner coordinated by its brain through use of voice and hand mechanics (the latter aided by a marking tool applied to a smooth surface). They both create and inform two vibrating existential states called “the mind” and “its verbal reality”. It is within the mind and its verbal reality that these vibrations with meaning are used as vibrating linguistic lenses called “projections”, “measurements” and “thoughts” through which the mind views and produces its verbal stories concerning What is Real/What Is Not Real.

II

The Problem: there are an infinite number of verbal stories that can be told concerning What Is Real/Not Real. Which leads to similar questions relating to “reality” and “its source and substance”

What is their true nature? How did they emerge?

Answer: Vibration

Simply Stated:

The Center studies Vibration and the vibrating interacting (selecting) process by which Vibration acts upon itself and through other vibrations, thereby producing this single vibrating reality in which all “bodies/brains” dwell (as vibrations) present moment by present moment.

Yet, there is always the matter of proof -- isn’t there? A matter that these books address by diving deep, Beneath Words into the vibration that is “the word” and the vibration that lies beneath “the word”.

More To The Point

The fundamental challenge that we presences called “human” must meet if we (both individually and collectively) are to actualized our real human potential is to answer these fundamental questions:⁷

I

What is the true nature of “words”, “symbols” and “images”?

How do they emerge?

II

What is the true nature of each “mind” and its “verbal reality”?

How do they emerge?

III

What is the true nature (the source/substance) of each “body” and each “brain”?

How do they emerge?

IV

What is the true nature of physical reality?

How did it emerge?

V

What is the true nature of each physical component of this physical reality; be that component called a “wave” or a “particle” or a “string” or a “quark” or a “meson” or a “boson” or a “positron” or an “electron” or a “neutron” or a “proton” or an “atom” or a “molecule” or a “cell” or a “neuron” or a “body” or a “brain” or a “mind”?

What is the process -- what are the laws/rules -- by which each of these physical components emerges?

What each book published on the Center’s website verbally states in its own unique way is that until the first two of these fundamental questions are answered, there is no way to answer in a coherent manner all of these fundamental questions.

*****

The Point

Journeying Beneath Words into the physical reality that lies there and its source/substance is hard work; particularly if “your mind” has been “trained” in a way of thinking that treats each “word”, each “symbol” and each “image” as just “a word”, “a symbol” and “an image” -- nothing more

The current way of thinking (current kind of thinking) in which we presences called “human” have been “schooled” treats each “word”, each “symbol” and each “image” as just “a word”, “a symbol” and “an image”....nothing more.

Skating along the surface of words, symbols and images and this current kind of thinking, the only choice that a presence called “human” has when seeking answers to these fundamental questions is to select the best words/symbols/images by which to answer these fundamental questions.

Ironically, although many words/symbols/images have been selected for purposes of answering these fundamental questions, to date there is no verbal agreement among we “humans” as to their answers.

In fact, what is even more ironic is the fact that currently there is no verbal agreement among we “humans” as to the answers to these first two fundamental questions:

What is the true nature of “words”, “symbols” and “images”?

How do they emerge?

A new way of thinking is needed; a new kind of thinking that treats “each word”, “each symbol” and “each image” as being what it really is:

a sound/mark/vibration whose meaning is associated with a vibration that lies beneath it and to which it is pointing.

It is to this new kind of thinking and the model of reality/creation story implicated by this new kind of thinking that each book published by the Center For Vibrational Studies points....this book being no exception.

2. Concerning Books: In General

There are many books that have been published and will be published by wordsmiths, using words, symbols and images to do so.⁸ To be credible, each book must answer each of these fundamental questions from all perspectives, recognizing that each perspective is changing moment by moment...failing which it is only one unique perspective -- a “story” that is “told” while circling in “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” and what lies above “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image”....just one person’s view.

In other words, for any book to be credible, these fundamental questions must be answered in the order in which they are presented, since until a writer can answer the first two fundamental questions, he/she will only be skating along the surface of his/her words, symbols and images...circling (Above Words) over what is happening in and to his/her “body” (Beneath Words)....with no mind being given to the fact that each “word”, each “symbol” and each ‘image” is a sound/mark/vibration with meaning that points to Vibration being the true nature (the source/substance) of all that exists.

The following italicized verbal statement being “true” for each “wordsmith” no matter whether he/she is identified as a “theologian”, “philosopher”, “scientists”, “physicists”, “mathematician” or a “Nobelist”:

Until he/she dives deep into the “sound” -- the “mark” -- the vibration -- that creates and informs “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image”, he/she will only be skating along the surface of “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image”, missing their true nature and their true meaning.

3. Concerning This Series of Twelve Books

By reading Beneath Words: What Lies There, the first book in this series of twelve books bearing the title Beneath Words©, you (the reader of these words) have now embarked on a journey:

A journey in which you have been introduced to a new way of thinking about the words, the symbols and the images that inform your “thinking” and a new model of reality implicated by this new way of thinking;

A new kind of thinking and a new model of reality that is offered for the purpose of supplementing the current kind of thinking in which you and all of humanity is currently being schooled.

I, the writer of these words, call this journey: Your Journey, Beneath Words.

The internet is the vehicle through which your journey, Beneath Words, is presented; more specifically, the Center For Vibrational Studies’ website:

www.centerforvibrationalstudies.com

By reading the first book entitled, Beneath Words: What Lies There, you are now “mindful” that what are called “words”, “symbols” and “images” are really vibrations with meaning pointing to a vibrating reality in which “your body” and “your brain” dwell, as vibrations; a vibrating reality that is always emerging from a vibrating source/substance (Vibration).

This second book entitled Beneath Words: Sounds/Marks/Vibrations and each of the remaining ten books in this twelve-book series simply strings these vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images” in a bit different way so as to give you another perspective of what it means to dive deep beneath “words”, “symbols” and “images” into what lies there.

4. Concerning The Writings

Appearing On The Center’s Website

This book is the second of twelve books that will be published on the Center’s website, commencing on January 1, 2020, and continuing every month thereafter. Each book, in its own unique way, engages you in a journey (Beneath Words) that you can choose to make your journey, Beneath Words; each book diving deep into (i) the vibrating physical reality in which “your body” and “your brain” dwell (as vibrations) and (ii) this underlying vibrating physical presence (Vibration) that is the source and substance of “all that exists”.

Also appearing on the Center’s website will be a series of papers as well as an archive. The purpose of the series of papers and the archive being to supplement the twelve books with additional writings that I, the writer of these words, have produced along the way while making my journey, Beneath Words; a journey that commenced one night when, while seeking sleep that would not come -- mind racing, I entered an existential state in which I experienced not in “the word but beneath “the word”

the sound of running water

The experience was real. In fact, from that moment onward I am always sensing what is now thought of and called a “noun”, “pronoun”, “subject” or “object” as a vibrating something of substance and what is now thought of and called a “verb” as a vibrating act.

Yet, as I soon discovered, writing about these sensory experiences was not easy since to write about these sensory experiences required me to use what are now thought of and called “words”, “symbols” and “images” when what I was really striving to do is dive beneath words and the symbols and images that accompany them into what lies beneath them.

In other words, in order to write about these sensory experiences that were occurring Beneath Words in my “body” in a manner orchestrated by my “brain”, I had to use the words, symbols and images that created and informed my

“verbal reality” and my “mind” to do so....not an easy task.

5. More To The Point

Concerning These Twelve Books:

The first four books of this twelve-book series summarize in the best way I can the lengthy writings appearing in the archive. It is in the archive that you can, by reading the writings located there, experience the struggle I have had setting forth my Journey, Beneath Words in writing.

The next four books expand and elaborate upon what has previously been stated in the first four books; each of these four books -- in its own unique way -- providing more in depth “color” to what has been stated in the first four books.

The last four books in this twelve-book series are the most tedious to navigate; since each of them -- in its own unique way -- dives deeper and deeper into the true nature of what lies beneath the words and phrases that inform our “languages”; the words, “mind”, “body”, “brain” and the phrases “physical reality” and “source and substance of all that exists” being no exceptions.

Of course, whether or not you choose to embark upon this journey, Beneath Words is your choice. However, my request is that when making this choice to continue/not continue, you remain “mindful” that in each present moment called “Now” you, the reader of these words, have virtually an infinite number of possible choices that you could select -- albeit it may not appear that way in the present moment....the “choice” to continue being only one possibility.

Nevertheless, it is “true” (as you will ultimately discover if you continue on your journey, Beneath Words) that the act that you select in each present moment is involved in a natural selecting process -- a natural process of renormalizing --in which all vibrating presences are engaged....

....that process being a vibrating interacting process by which Vibration (as source/substance) acts upon itself and through all that it creates....

....we presences (we creations) called “human” and “our bodies”, “our brains”, “our word/symbols/images”, “our minds”, “our verbal realities” and “our verbal statements/stories” being no exceptions.

6. Why Write These Twelve Books?

Once we presences called “human” understand the true nature of the reality in which “we” dwell and the true nature of “our bodies”, “our brains”, “our words/symbols/images”, “our verbal realities” and “our minds” we can course correct a wrong turn that Humanity previously made.....adopting a current kind of thinking that is embedded only in “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” rather than in the vibrations that lie beneath “them”.

We can begin treating each something of substance consistent with its true nature....vibration. We can shift to a new kind of thinking that embraces these verbal statements as “true”:

That at the most fundamental level of its existence, each something of substance is a vibration having vibrating characteristics that are unique to it and allow it to be identified with “a word”, “a symbol” or “an image”; “our bodies” and “our brains” being no exceptions.

That at their most fundamental level of existence, “each word”, “each symbol” and “each image” is a vibration that emerges from “the body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain” in the form of a “sound” or a “mark” whose meaning is associated with and points to the vibration that lies beneath it.

That at the most fundamental level of existence these vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images” are always pointing to a vibrating physical reality that is always emerging from Vibration as source/substance.

That at their most fundamental level of existence, “each mind” and “its verbal reality” are vibrating existential states created and informed by these vibrations with meaning....vibrating existential states in which these vibrations with meaning equate to vibrating linguistic lenses called “projections”, “measurements” and “thoughts” through which “the mind” views and produces “stories” about what is real/not real

....vibrating linguistic lenses that the “mind” uses to perform its vibrating acts called thinking/measuring/projecting/storytelling.

7. The Role Of Each Book; The Role Of The Center

The role of each book is to show from its own unique perspective why what has just been verbally stated is “true”....can be proved “true”; the role of the Center being to prove “true”:

Not only that what has just been verbally stated is “true”;

But also that the selecting process by which Vibration acts upon its Potential and produces this vibrating physical reality in which all “bodies” and all “brains” dwell (as vibrations) is the same selecting process by which each presence called “human” acts upon his/her potential and produces his or her “verbal reality/mind”....that process being a vibrating interacting (selecting) process....a natural selecting process (frequently called “evolution”).

More to the Point:

The current kind of thinking in which we presences called “human” are being “schooled” treats “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” as being only “a word”, “a symbol” or “an image” rather than a vibration with meaning standing in for/representing a vibration that lies beneath it and to which the vibration with meaning is pointing.

In this sense, at the most fundamental level of their existence, there is no difference among “words”, “symbols” and “images”....each being a vibration with meaning.

In this sense, each “word”, “symbol” and “image” is a “shorthanded” representation for what lies beneath it and to which “it” is pointing (like a sign).

In this sense, “the word” is not the “thing”....just representative of “it”

In other words, If you “think” of “words/symbols/images” being vibrations with meaning pointing to a vibrating reality that is always emerging from Vibration as source/substance, then how you view the reality in which “your body” and “your brain” dwells will not only appear -- but actually be -- different....

....different than what you would be “thinking” if “your thoughts” were only embedded in “words/symbols/images” rather than....

....in the vibration with meaning that is the “word/symbol/image”....

....and in the vibration that lies beneath the vibration with meaning.

Simply stated: If you “think” of the “body” as a vibration having vibrating characteristics unique to it and can “prove” that this “thought” is “true”, then how you treat this “body” will be quite different from the current way “this body” is treated using our current kind of thinking. A similar statement applies to a “brain”

and to a “mind”.

The role of the Center For Vibrational Studies is to show how, I, the writer of these words, arrived at these conclusions.

~~~

However, the Center For Vibrational Studies has another role; that being to prove to you, the reader of these words:

That absent the presence of these vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images”, nothing could be verbally stated about anything; yet you would still exist as evidenced by the existence of a “baby”....a new born “infant”....that emerges without the benefit of having any “words”, “symbols” and “images” by which “it” can verbally state so.

That present the presence of these vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images”, anything can be verbally stated about anything and anything verbally stated in the positive can be verbally stated in the negative; examples being:

“true/not true”

“false/not false”

“fake/not fake”

“real/not real”

“God/not God”

“fake news/not fake news”

That if we presences called “human” continue to treat “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” as only “a word”, “a symbol” or “an image”, then the reductionistic thinking emblematic of the current kind of thinking in which we presences are currently being “schooled” will be a never ending spiraling downward into yet another “word/symbol/image” and then another “word/symbol/image”.

That Humanity’s Wrong Turn is the product of treating “the word” as “the thing” rather than treating “the word” as a vibration whose true meaning is associated with the vibration lies beneath “the word” and to which “the word” is pointing.

The writings set forth on the Center For Vibrational Studies website, particularly the writing set forth in its archive are illustrative of the journey, Beneath Words, that must be taken by a “mind” in order to arrive at these conclusions.

Bottom Line

At the most fundamental level of existence, despite any “thought” of “separation” that a “mind” can think, all that exists is always interacting and interconnecting (“communicating”) vibrationally, each expression of Vibration being a vibration that is always interacting, interconnecting and communicating, vibrationally with all other vibrations in “its surroundings”.

Yet,

There is always the matter of proof -- isn’t there?

A matter that provides another answer to the question:

Why Write These Books?

A matter that is also addressed in the writings appearing on

The Center For Vibrational Studies’ website.

8. Why Twelve Books?

There is no magic in the number twelve. What is true is that once “your mind” accepts the fact that all words, symbols and images (including yours) are vibrations with meaning pointing to and emerging out of Vibration as source/substance, you accept the fact that -- no matter how hard you try

There is no way to capture reality whole using these vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images” in a descriptive or explanatory manner since these vibrations with meaning are a “vibrating part” of a “vibrating whole”.

The best that can be done is to use these vibrations with meaning in a manner that best simulates, vibrationally what lies beneath them.

These twelve books set forth the best that I can do; each of these twelve books in its own unique way pointing to a new kind of thinking and a new model of reality that supplements the current kind of thinking in which we presences called “human” are now being “schooled”....

....a new kind of thinking that dives beneath the verbal and all of the verbal noise appearing on “social media” into....

....the vibrations that lie beneath the verbal....

....and....

....the vibrations to which the verbal is pointing.

That being a vibrating realty in which the simple verbal question:

What Is Life?

Is answered with this simple verbal statement.

Life Is Vibration

9. More To The Point:

Concerning This Specific Book:

This book is the second in a series of books published on the Center For Vibrational Studies website: www.centerforvibrationalstudies.com

Each book appearing on this website has been written by me, the writer of these words, and the author of this specific book.

Each book in its own unique way presents a new kind of thinking that (i) answers all of these fundamental questions in a coherent manner and (ii) informs a new model of reality that simulates the emergence of “everything”, “anything”, “something” and “nothing”....based upon these answers.⁹

Admittedly, each of these books will appear, and frequently is, repetitive of what is being verbally stated in the other books.

Nevertheless, the new kind of thinking and model of reality that each book presents is identical both in substance and in process; each book being a bit different due to this phenomenon of uniqueness (Qualia) that I, the writer of these words and the author of these books, am always experiencing present moment by present moment relative to all other presences (Relativity) in that moment.

In other words, as hard as I may try not to do so, I can only write from my unique perspective present moment by present moment: each present moment providing another unique perspective of what is going on Beneath Words present moment by present moment.

Thus, although each book, in substance and in process, is identical, each book presents words, symbols and images in a different sequence for the purpose of answering each of these fundamental questions from a different perspective.

Concerning My Words: Each of these twelve books (including this second book in this twelve-book series) sets forth a part of your journey, Beneath Words; there being twelve parts to your journey. My hope is that at least one of these “parts” opens “your mind” to the new kind of thinking and the new model of reality about which I write.

Admittedly, my writing style is complex. And, perhaps this complexity will turn you, the reader of these words, away from this book and the other books that I, the writer of these words, have written.

Yet, if you take a moment to sense....from your own unique perspective....that each “word”, “symbol” and “image” that you produce is a “sound” or a “mark”, you will be on your way....

....diving beneath “words”, “symbols” and “image” into the “sounds” and “marks” (the “vibrations”) that create and inform them....

....then diving deeper into the vibrating reality and its vibrating source and substance to which all “words”, “symbols” and “images” point.

You will be on your journey, Beneath Words.

10. To Continue/Not Continue

The choice (act of selecting) is yours. However, whether or not you choose to continue onward in this journey, always keep “in mind” these verbal statements:

Life is Vibration: Vibration is Life

“Life” is “complex” if you choose to address the subject of “Life” from only your own unique perspective within the boundaries of your “verbal reality” and “your mind” (Above Words), treating the “words”, “symbols” and “images” that inform “your verbal reality/mind” as only words, symbols and images whose meanings are defined by other “words/symbols/images”.

“Life” is “complex” if you choose to continuing along the path of a current kind of thinking (Above Words) that treat “words”, “symbols” and “images” as only “words”, “symbols” or “images” -- nothing more....

....instead of choosing another way of thinking -- a new kind of thinking that embraces “words”, “symbols” and “images” as sounds/marks/vibrations whose meaning is associated with the vibrations that lies beneath them (Beneath Words) and to which “they” point (like signs).

However, you always have the choice in any present moment called “Now” to dive deep, Beneath Words, and engage in this new kind of thinking; a new way of thinking that allows “your mind” (as a vibrating existential state) to sense, vibrationally, all of the vibrations that dwell there (Beneath Words)

including those vibrations who produce their own unique version of these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning that we “humans” choose to call “words”, “symbols” and “images”.¹⁰

Keeping these “words” in “mind”, let’s move on.

A RETROSPECTIVE*

__________

*The noun retrospective defined: “an exhibition or compilation showing the development of the work of a particular artist over a period of time.”

Google Dictionary

“All we really can do as photographers or painters or writers or theoretical physicists is to create symbols that enlarge and expand the self. The symbols we choose are not important because we choose them but because the things symbolized are important.” Wynn Bullock

Usually, when engaged in a journey, it helps to keep “in mind” where “you” have been; where you are; and, where you are going. Your journey, Beneath Words, upon which you have embarked is no different.

The first book, entitled Beneath Words: What Lies There, began with a section entitled Author’s Preparatory Comment¹¹ and ended with some Suggested Readings, some Acknowledgements and a section entitled Moving On which reads as follows (reproduced in italics for purposes of identification):

Each of these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” and each these two vibrating existential states called “verbal reality” and “mind” are the ultimate linguistic tools. Without them, we presences called “human” could not call “ourselves” human or distinguish us from all other presences in “our surroundings”. However, it is how we use these linguistic tools that makes the difference.

Using a kind of thinking (current kind of thinking) that simply skates along the surface of “words”, “symbols” and “images”, the vibrancy of what lies Beneath Words is lost....forgotten.

This new kind of thinking to which “you” have now been introduced opens “your mind” to this vibrancy by complementing/supplementing “each word”, “each symbol” and “each image” with the vibration that lies beneath it and to which it is pointing (Semiotics).

However, once “your mind” is embedded in this current kind of thinking, it is hard to “think” otherwise -- particularly hard “to think” of “each word”, “each symbol” and “each image” as being a sound/mark/vibration with meaning that stands in for and points to a vibration that lies beneath it.

One writing (i.e. this book) cannot educate a “mind” in this new kind of thinking since that writing can only be prepared from the unique perspective that the “writer” is experiencing in that present moment. Verbal statements presented from one unique perspective of the writer may have to be repeated multiple times from multiple perspectives of the writer before the “mind” of the “listener/reader” fully grasps what is being verbally stated (“spoken/written”).

Thus, appearing on the Center For Vibrational Studies website is a series of writings that I, the writer of these words, have authored from multiple perspective for the purpose of making this journey, Beneath Words, easier; this specific book being the first in the series. Hopefully, you, the listener/reader of this writing, will choose (act of selecting) to move on to these other writings, thereby allowing “you” to experience, vibrationally, both in “your mind” and in “your body” this new kind of thinking in many different ways from many different perspectives.

It is ‘your choice’.”

Indeed it is your choice; a choice that you can now make in this present moment of “your reading” by simply turning the page.

AN OPENING

(A Few Self-Reflecting Moments)

“It is the task of reason to understand and purge the symbols on which humanity depends.” Alfred North Whitehead

Please take a moment to perform the following acts. First, speak the word, “I” (as in the phrase “I am”) and note that the spoken word, “I”, is a “sound” that you can make using your “voice”. Second, after taking a moment to locate a plain white sheet of paper and a pencil or pen, write the word, “I” (as in the phrase “I am”) on the piece of paper using your pen or pencil and note that the written word “I” is a “mark” that you can make using your writing hand, aided by a marking tool (the pen or pencil) applied to a smooth surface (the plain white sheet of paper).

It does not take much thought (or should I say “self-reflection) to note that your spoken words and your written words emerge from your body in this manner. And, it takes only a few more moments of “self-reflecting” to note that these acts of word creation that you just performed could only be performed after “your body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain” had been trained (taught) to do so by a “teacher”.

In fact, if you take a few moments to self-reflect on these “facts”, what you soon discover is that....

....but for the spoken word or the written word emerging in this manner, neither you nor any other presence called “human” could be verbally speaking or writing anything about anything; yet, “your body” and “your brain” and their “bodies/brains” would still be present....

....as evidenced by the fact that, at birth, and as an “infant” and a “toddler”, your “body” and “your brain” were present before that moment when “you” could speak/write your first word.

Indeed, if you take a few more moments to self-reflect on these “facts”, what you soon discover is that but for the presence of “words” (and the “symbols” and “images” that accompany them) none of we presences called “human” would have a “verbal reality” and a “mind” in which he/she could verbally state anything about anything nor could he/she “think” or “measure” anything nor could he/she choose to “project” (superpose) a “word”, “symbol” and “image” on anything.

In fact, absent our ability to produce “words”, “symbols” and “images”, none of we presences called “human” would be able to verbally state “I am” or “I exist” or call we presences “human” or be able to explain anything including how it came to be that we presences called “human” have “our words”, “our symbols” and “our images”. Nor would “we” have the potential to speculate upon when and how the first word emerged.

In fact, absent the presence of “our words”, “our symbols” and “our images”, none of we presences called “human” (either individually or collectively) could verbally attribute the emergence of the first word to another presence; yet, our “bodies” and “our brain” would exist....would be present....interacting moment by moment with all other presences in “our surroundings”.

Of course, the irony is that but for the presence of “words”, “symbols” and “images”, I could not have written the words you are now reading; yet, if we were in each other presence we would be interacting and we could be performing body acts called “gesturing” and “pantomime” in a manner coordinated by “our brains”.

~~~

Now admittedly, the “words” you have just read may be hard for “your mind” to grasp, particularly considering the way in which “your mind” has been trained “to think” (current kind of thinking) that what is called a “word” is simply a word....nothing more.

Yet, if you take another moment to view what is now called a “tree” or a “flower” or a “body” and note that, as you do so, you are actually superposing the word (e.g. “tree”, “flower”, “body”) on something of substance that lies beneath the word, then you will be well on your way to understanding that what lies Beneath Words is the most important verbal inquiry you can make.¹²

DIVING DEEP BENEATH WORDS

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

“Everything in Life is Vibration.” Albert Einstein

_________

These are just a few of the quotations that I will be using over and over again and again throughout this book and the many books and papers appearing on the website of the Center For Vibrational Studies, the publisher of this book. Why I selected them will become obvious since all of them, collectively, point to the substance of what I am striving to speak/write in my own way.

Journeying Beneath Words and the symbols and images that accompany them into the single physical reality that lies beneath them is “hard work”, particularly if your mind has been trained in a current kind of thinking that treats each word, each symbol and each image as just a word, a symbol or an image – nothing more.

The problem: The words, the symbols and the images are always getting in the way. A new kind of thinking is needed; one that embraces the true nature of “words”, “symbols” and “images” and builds from that foundation.

How Shall We Start?

“Think” of this part of “your journey” as comprising a “thought experiment” in which

(i) first, you explore what is now thought of and called a “word”, in general

(ii) then, you explore what is now thought of and called “a word”, more specifically, by diving beneath what is called a “word” into the “sound” or the “mark” that informs “the word”;

(iii) then, you dive a bit deeper into the vibration that informs the “sound” or the “mark” that informs “the word”.

You can do this easily by simply choosing the word, “word” and noting that when you speak the word, “word”, you make a sound (the sound, “word”) and when you write the word, “word”, you make a mark (the mark, “word”).

The purpose of this “thought experiment” is to give you a “feel” for what it means to dive deeper and deeper, Beneath Words, into what lies there.

For it is then and only then....after you can perform this deep dive, Beneath Words....that you begin to understand that when using what are now thought of and called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, you (as well as any presence called “human”) are only speaking in code....

....using “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” for purposes of representing the something of substance to which “the word”, “the symbol” or “the image” is pointing....

....a something of substance with which “your body” is interacting in a manner orchestrated by “your brain”.

For it is then and only then that your “mind” can begin to embrace this new kind of thinking to which you are now being introduced; a new kind of thinking that implicates a new model of reality....a new creation story....for all that exists (in general) and all of Humanity (in particular).

More To The Point:

Through a process now thought of and called “evolution”, we presence called “human” arrived at our current existential state, having learned over the course of this evolutionary process to “string together” what are called “words”, “symbols” and “images” into “phrases”, “clauses”, “sentences”, “paragraphs”, “papers” and “books” as well as “equations”, “algorithms”, “formulae”, “creation stories”, “speculative philosophies”, “religions”, “sciences”, “theories” and “models of reality” -- all for the purpose of allowing “us” not only “to survive” but also “to thrive”.

However, along the way, we presences called “human” made a wrong turn, failing to recognize the “evolutionary” implications of “words”, “symbols” and “images”; it being how we string these words, symbols and images together that makes we presences called “human” unique and what makes the difference.

A Verbal Bridge

Note To The Reader: While moving forward on your journey, Beneath Words, always keep “in mind” that, at the most fundamental level of their existence, there is really no difference among words, symbols and images: each being a vibration with meaning; each linking “the verbal” to what lies beneath “the verbal”. In this sense, what is verbally stated in this writing concerning “words” also applies to “symbols” and “images” and what is verbally stated in this writing concerning “symbols” and “images” also applies to “words”.

I

Concerning Words, Symbols And Images

(In General)

Note To The Reader: Many words comprising this part of your journey, Beneath Words, are repetitious of words that have been stated or will be stated along the way in other parts of your journey. I repeat! I apologize for doing so. Yet, there are many “reasons” for my doing so. One reason is to “remind” you of these words over and over again and again -- lest “you mind” forgets them while moving onward along the way. Another reason is that it takes “practice -- practice -- practice” to learn anything including this new kind of thinking about which I write; repeating an act (e.g. an act of thinking) over and over again and again being the best practice by which to learn “something new”.

Diving Deep

Words, symbols and images create a verbal bridge linking what lies Beneath Words to what lies Above Words. Beneath Words exists a physical reality that is always emerging from a physical source and substance in each present moment called “Now”; it being in this physical reality that each body and each body with a brain dwell. Above Words exist each mind and its verbal reality; a verbal reality and mind created and informed by words, symbols and images.

Words emerge from a “body” but only after the “body” can, in a manner coordinated by “its brain”, produce its first word in the form of a sound or a mark. A similar statement applies to symbols and images.

Absent the presence of words, symbols and images, nothing can be verbally stated about anything nor would this verbal bridge exists nor would any mind and its verbal reality exist. Present the presence of words, symbols and images anything can be verbally stated about anything

A word serves as a short-handed way for the mind (while existing in its verbal reality) to refer to “something of substance” that lies beneath the word; a “something of substance” to which the word is pointing. For example, the “something of substance” called “tree” exists Beneath Words, independent of the word “tree” that is superposed upon “it”; a similar statement being applicable to each “something of substance” -- be that “something of substance” called a “body”, “brain”, “mind”, “infant”, “cell”, “molecule”, “atom”, “particle”, etc.

For each something of substance called an “infant”, learning how to produce words, symbols and images comes first. Then comes the mind and its verbal reality. Then comes the ability of the mind within its verbal reality to string words, symbols and images together in the form of phrases, clauses, sentences, paragraphs, verbal statements, verbal stories, and books; each word, symbol and image equating to a linguistic lens through which the mind while existing in its verbal reality (Above Words) views what is occurring as its body is interacting with its surroundings in a manner orchestrated by its brain (Beneath Words).

For we presences called “human”, it has become relatively easy to exist Above Words in our individual and collective “verbal realities/minds”. Easy for a “mind” dwelling within its “verbal reality” to interact (communicate) verbally with one or more other “minds” dwelling in their “verbal realities”. Easy for one group of “minds” dwelling in its collective “verbal reality” to set off against one or more other group of “minds” dwelling in their respective, collective “verbal realities”.

Easy relative to the difficulty that a “mind” experiences when striving to dive deep Beneath Words into the underlying reality that lies there and its source and substance. Easy relative to the difficulty that each “mind” experiences when it strives to dive deep beneath the words, symbols and images that both create and inform “it” and “its verbal reality”. Easy relative to the difficulty that a “mind” experiences when it seeks to understand the “true nature” of “words”, “symbols” and “images”....using “words”, “symbols” and “images” to do so.

The Fundamental Challenge

For we presences called “human”, the fundamental challenge remaining to be met is to produce, collectively, a model of reality....a creation story....that answers in a coherent manner these fundamental questions:

I

What is the true nature of our “words”, “symbols” and “images”?

How do they emerge?

II

What is the true nature of our “minds” and their “verbal realities”?

How do they emerge?

III

What is the true nature (the source/substance) of our “bodies” and our “brains”.

How do they emerge?

IV

What is the true nature of physical reality?

How did it emerge?

V

What is the true nature of each physical component of this physical reality; be that component called a “wave” or a “particle” or a “string” or a “quark” or a “meson” or a “boson” or a “positron” or an “electron” or a “neutron” or a “proton” or an “atom” or a “molecule” or a “cell” or a “neuron” or a “body” or a “brain” or a “mind”?

What is the process -- what are the laws/rules -- by which each of these physical components emerges?

~~~

Think of this fundamental challenge in this way.

Absent the presence of what are called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, what is now thought of and called “your mind” and “its verbal reality” would not exist nor would there be any way for “your mind” (i) to communicate verbally (Above Words) about what is occurring Beneath Words or (ii) to answer verbally these fundamental questions.

Present the presence of what are called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, there are many ways for “your mind” to verbally communicate (Above Words) about what is occurring Beneath Words....each way being a function of the “words”, “symbols” and “images” selected.

Using “their minds”, many “mystics” have used “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” with the goal of answering these fundamental questions as have many “philosophers”, “theologians”, “meta-physicists” and “physicists”. And, many of these “mystics”, “philosophers”, “theologians”, “meta-physicists” and “physicists” (each a “wordsmith”) have done so attributing the emergence of “the word” to another “word” (e.g. a “deity”)....with no “thought” being given to the fact that what is now thought of and called a “word” is really a “sound” or a “mark” (or, more specifically, a vibration) whose meaning is associated with what lies beneath it.¹³

With no “thought” given to the fact that these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning are always emerging from “the body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain” as “the body” is interacting with “its surroundings” in a manner orchestrated by “its brain”.

Yet,

That is only the beginning

Since when I (or, more specifically, “my body” in a manner orchestrated by “my brain”) sense “something of substance” -- no matter what its “name”, “number” or “species”, I sense it from my own unique perspective. In other words, no one other than me has my unique perspective....since no one other than me “stands in my shoes”....occupies “my body”.

In this sense, when I sense a “rose”, I sense it from only my perspective (Qualia). And I do so from my own unique perspective relative to each other perspective (Relativity), recognizing my perspective is changing present moment to present moment relative to every other perspective.

In this sense, each other presence called “human” does the same....senses in his/her body (in a manner orchestrated by his/her brain) what is now thought of and called “the rose” from his/her unique perspective in each present moment called “Now”, leading to the phenomenon that what is called a “rose” by each presence called “human” does not equate to the same sensory experience....a

sensory experience that is changing present moment to present moment.

Thus, the sensory experience that I call “sensing a rose” is not (and never is) the same sensory experience that you, the reader of these words, call “sensing a rose”....as weird or strange as that may sound or appear.

The Point

When answering these fundamental questions, each answer must be verbalized in such a way that it (the answer) “takes into account” all perspectives existing in each present moment and from moment to moment. Thus, when any presence called “human” is striving to answer these fundamental questions using words, symbols and images, he/she (including me) must be mindful of the fact that the words, symbols and images that he/she is selecting in each present moment to represent the physical reality that he/she is experiencing from his/her own unique perspective in that present moment is only relevant in that present moment from that unique perspective.

II

Concerning Words: Same Topic

(Just Diving A Bit Deeper)

Note To The Reader: In substance, this section is similar to the previous section you have just read. However, the words highlighted with quotation marks (“ ”) or bold italic print has shifted, reflecting how a “shift in emphasis” can make a difference -- in this case, providing a deeper meaning to what is being verbally stated.

Diving A Bit Deeper

Words, symbols and images create a verbal bridge linking what lies Beneath Words to what lies Above Words. Beneath Words exists a physical reality that is always emerging from a physical source/substance in each present moment called “Now”; it being in this physical reality that each body and each body with a brain dwell. Above Words exist each mind and its verbal reality; a verbal reality and mind created and informed by words, symbols and images.

Words emerge from a “body” but only after the “body” can, in a manner coordinated by “its brain”, produce its first word in the form of a sound or a mark using the mechanics of voice or hand, the latter being aided by a marking tool applied to a smooth surface. A similar statement applies to symbols and images.

Absent the presence of words, symbols and images, nothing can be verbally stated about anything nor would this verbal bridge exists nor would any mind and its verbal reality exist. Present the presence of words, symbols and images anything can be stated about anything by a mind existing in its verbal reality.

A word serves as a short-handed way (a code) by which the mind (while existing in its verbal reality) can refer to “something of substance” that lies beneath the word; a “something of substance” to which the word is pointing like a “sign” (Semiotics).

For example, the “something of substance” called “tree” exists Beneath Words, independent of the word “tree” that is superposed upon “it”; a similar statement being applicable to each “something of substance” -- be that “something of substance” called a “body”, “brain”, “mind”, “infant”, “cell”, “molecule”, “atom”, “particle”, etc.

For each something of substance called an “infant”, learning how to produce words, symbols and images comes first. Then comes the mind and its verbal reality. Then comes the ability of the mind within its verbal reality to string words, symbols and images together in the form of phrases, clauses, sentences, paragraphs, verbal statements, verbal stories; and books; each word, symbol and image equating to a linguistic lens through which the mind while existing in its verbal reality (Above Words) views what is occurring as its body is interacting with its surroundings in a manner orchestrated by its brain (Beneath Words).

For we presences called “human”, the fundamental challenge remaining to be met by “our minds” within “our verbal realities” is to produce, collectively, a model of reality that answer in a coherent manner these fundamental questions:

I

What is the true nature of our “bodies” and our “brains”.

How do they emerge?

II

What is the true nature of our “words”, “symbols” and “images”?

How do they emerge?

III

What is the true nature of our “minds” and their “verbal realities”?

How do they emerge?

IV

What is the true nature of physical reality?

How did it emerge?

Yet, that is only the beginning

Since when I sense “something of substance” -- no matter what its “name”, “number” or “species”, I sense it from my own unique perspective. In other words, no one other than me has my unique perspective (since no one other than me stands in my shoes).

In this sense, when I sense a “rose”, I sense it from only my perspective (Qualia). And I do so from my own unique perspective relative to each other perspective (Relativity), recognizing my perspective is changing present moment to present moment.

In this sense, each other presence called “human” does the same....senses the rose from his/her unique perspective in each present moment called “Now”, leading to the phenomenon that what is called a “rose” by each presence called “human” does not equate to the same sensory experience.

Thus, the sensory experience that I call “sensing a rose” is not (and never is) the same sensory experience that you call “sensing a rose”....as weird or strange as that may sound or appear.

The Point

When answering these fundamental questions, each answer must be verbalized in such a way that each answer is coherent from all perspectives in each present moment. Thus, when any presence called “human” is striving to answer these question using words, symbols and images, he/she (including me) must be mindful of the fact that the words, symbols and images that he/she is selecting in each present moment to represent the physical reality that he/she is experiencing from his/her own unique perspective in that present moment is only relevant to that present moment.

More To The Point

There are many books that have been published and will be published, using words, symbols and images to do so. To be credible, each book must answer each of these question from all perspectives, recognizing that each perspective is changing moment by moment.

Although each of the books presented on the website of the Center For Vibrational Study appears repetitive, the new kind of thinking and model of reality that it presents is actually representative of this phenomenon of uniqueness (Qualia) that I, the writer of these words and the author of these books, am experiencing moment by moment relative to all other presences (Relativity) in that moment.

My reason for presenting the many books appearing on the Center For Vibrational Studies website in what appears to be a repetitive way?

Each book presents words, symbols and images in a different sequence for the purpose of answering each of these questions in a bit of a different way in the hope that at least one of these versions opens “your mind” to the new kind of thinking and the new model of reality presented in each book....a new kind of thinking and new model of reality that is presented in each book for the purpose of addressing this fundamental challenge and answering these fundamental questions from all possible perspectives in a coherent manner.

[As verbally stated, previously, the role of my writing is to introduce you, the reader of these words, to a verbal process pursuant to which you learn to dive deep beneath “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” into the physical reality that lies there and its source and substance.

Humanity’s Wrong Turn lies in treating “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” as only “a word”, “a symbol” and “an image” -- nothing more.

Each of my writings appearing on the website of the Center For Vibrational Studies strives to “course correct” this “wrong turn” by diving deep beneath “words/symbols/images” into the sounds/marks/vibrations that informs “them” and into the vibrations to which “they” point....the vibrations that give “them” their meaning.]

DIVING DEEPER BENEATH WORDS

“The job of the writer is to make us see the world as it is.” Susan Sontag

I Speaking In Code

We presences called “human” speak in code. For example, the word, “word”, is not just a “word”. It is also a sound or a mark.

These sounds and marks called “words”, “symbols” and “images” both create and inform our “verbal realities” and “our minds”.

And, it is within “the mind” and “its verbal reality” that these sounds and marks equate to linguistic lenses through which “the mind” views “reality” and produces “stories” concerning this “reality”.

In this sense, we presences called “human” are always performing our acts of “projecting”, “measuring”, “thinking” and “storytelling” in code.

In fact, we presences called “human” even refer to “ourselves” in code, identifying each other by a code word (e.g. “given name”), code symbol (e.g. “social security number”) and code image (e.g. “picture/photograph”).

Yet, when you begin diving deep beneath the word, “word” into the sound or the mark that informs the word, “word”, you soon come “face to face” with the fact that the sound/mark that informs any word (including the word, “word”) is really a specific vibration expressed in the form of a specific sound/mark.

In other words, when seeking to answer the fundamental questions previously listed, what happens is that we presences called “human” get stuck in code -- stuck in “the word”; leaving “us” circling above what really lies beneath all “words” and the “symbols” and “images” that accompany them.

....instead of diving deep Beneath Words and noting that each “word”, each “symbol” and each “image” is a specific sound/mark with meaning....

....a specific vibration with meaning that is always pointing to vibration being the source and substance of “everything”.

~~~

However, in order for each of we presences called “human” to “break through the code”, he/she must learn or be taught how to do so.

And this requires a new way of thinking....a new kind of thinking that breaks through the code that informs our current way of thinking....our current kind of thinking.

A new kind of thinking that embraces these verbal statements as fundamental facts, thereby providing answers to the fundamental questions previously articulated:

Words, symbols and images are sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning.

They emerge out of the body in a manner coordinated by its brain.

They create and inform two vibrating existential states called “verbal reality” and “mind”.

Within each verbal reality and mind, they serve as vibrating linguistic lenses called projections, measurements and thoughts through which and by which the mind views and produces its stories concerning

What is real/What is not real

They point to a vibrating reality that is always emerging from a vibrating source and substance.

Vibration.

A vibrating reality in which

Each presence -- no matter what its “name”, “number” or “species”

Exists as a vibration for as long as it exists.

What is now called a “body” and a “brain” being no exceptions.

II

A New Kind Of Thinking

The source/substance of “all that exists” is Vibration; each something of substance emerging from Vibration being a vibration (a vibrating something of substance).

In this sense, at their most fundamental level of existence what is called a “body” and what is called a “brain” is a vibration exhibiting vibrating characteristics unique to it; a similar verbal statement being “true” for what can now be thought of and called a “string” or a “thing” or a “particle” or an “atom” or a “molecule” or a “cell” or an “organism” or a “sound” or a “mark”.

The process by which all vibrations emerge is a vibrating interacting (selecting) process frequently called a natural selecting process (“evolution”) and occasionally called a natural process of renormalizing or an interacting force. No matter what this process is called, it is the Creative Process by which each vibration (no matter what its “name”, “number” or “species”) emerges....the “body” and the “brain” of each of we presences called “human” being no exception.

Each vibration emerges, directly or indirectly, from Vibration as source/substance pursuant to this Creative Process

....each vibration exhibiting a natural bias (an Historical Bias) favoring acts of selecting previously made....

....what are now thought of and called “bodies”, “brains”, “bodies with brains”, “organisms”, “cells”, “molecules”, “atoms”, “particles”, “strings” and “things” being no exceptions.

As these vibrations called “things”, “strings”, “particles”, “atoms”, “molecules” and “cells” emerge, they create and inform a collective vibration called “physical reality” as do the various “cellular structures” (“bacteria”, “flowers”, “insects”, “reptiles”, etc.) that emerge as these “strings”, “things”, “particles”, “atoms”, “molecules” and “cells” combine through vibrating acts called “resonance” and separate through vibrating acts called “interference”....

...these vibrating acts of resonance and these vibrating acts of interference being a part of this vibrating interacting process.

~~~

At their most fundamental level of existence, what are now thought of and called “words”, “symbols” and “images” are vibrations with meaning that emerge out of the “body” in the form of sounds and marks once the “body” can, in a manner coordinated by “its brain” shape Vibration called “Sound/Light” into a specific vibration and associate that specific vibration with a vibration (a vibrating something of substance) that lies beneath it.

At their most fundamental, level of existence, what are now thought of and called “verbal reality” and “mind” are two vibrating existential state that emerges only after “the body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain” can superpose a specific vibration with meaning in the form of a “sound” or a “mark” upon a vibration with which the “body” is interacting in a manner orchestrated by “its brain”.

At the most fundamental level of existence, there are many “species” of Vibration that can produce sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning and these two vibrating existential states; however, we vibrations called “human” are the only “species” of Vibration that call these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning “words”, “symbols” and “images” and these two vibrating existential states “verbal reality” and “mind”....

....we vibrations called “human” being the only “species” of Vibration that string our uniquely “sounded” and “marked” words/symbols/images into verbal statements/stories including our unique “creation stories/models of reality” concerning how “we” and “all that exists” emerged. ¹⁴

III

New Model Of Reality

The “rule/law/formula” by which Vibration acts upon itself is:

V(P):+/-

The “rule/law/formula” by which each vibration acts upon itself is:

v(p):+/-

Each vibration, once emerging, exhibits vibrating characteristics

Frequency and Intensity (“F&I”)

Geometry/Space (“G”)

Spin (“S”)

Each vibration, once it emerges, is “biased” (Historically Biased), favoring those vibrating characteristics with which it has emerged.¹⁵

It is as simple as that.

Yet, it is not that simple.

Since there is always the matter of proof.

Proof over which “minds” can conflict.

IV

The Potential To Use Words/Symbols/Images

To Resolve Conflict

There has always been conflict. Prior to the first word being produced, there were conflicts and after the first word was produced, there has continued to be conflicts as evidenced by what are now thought of and called:

Tribal Conflicts (tribe v. tribe)

Boundary Conflicts (mine v. yours)

Verbal Conflicts (I right/you wrong)

War On Cancer

Trade Wars

Currency Wars

Religious Wars

Territorial Wars

Physical Wars

Yet, once the “words/symbols/images” is accepted as a sound/mark/vibration with meaning, it is possible that we vibrations called “human” can act upon our individual and collective potential and resolve these conflicts -- using these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning to do so.

That being the ultimate goal of this new kind of thinking and this new model of reality to which you, the reader of these words, are now being introduced.

That being the ultimate goal of each book published by me, the writer of these words; each book setting forth this new kind of thinking and this new model of reality in a bit of a different way....depending upon the “words/symbols/images” chosen (act of selecting) to do so.

Simply Stated:

We presences called “human” need a new model of reality....a new creation story....that coherently embraces vibration as being the true nature of our “bodies/brains”, our “words/symbols/images”, our “verbal realities/minds” and our “verbal statements/stories”.

SPEAKING IN CODE

(An Illustration)

As my “body” in a manner orchestrated by my “brain” is interacting with a vibrating something of substance, this interacting is occurring Beneath Words pursuant to a natural selecting process....a vibrating interacting (selecting) process....

....whether or not there exists any sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” to explain/describe (simulate) this interacting.

In other words, absent the presence of these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, this interacting is occurring. Present the presence of these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, I can say (verbally state) so.

And, I can verbally state “this is so” without having to state that I am doing so using sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”.

In this sense, vibrationally, I am speaking in code: Using words, symbols and images in a short-handed manner to describe and explain (simulate) what my

“body” is experiencing/feeling (sensing)....

....as “it” (my “body”) is interacting, vibrationally, with this vibrating something of substance in a manner orchestrated, vibrationally, by “its brain”.

Now let’s consider what happens when this vibrating something of substance is a “tree”.

~~~

When I sound (“speak”) the word, tree, I am speaking in code. The sound, tree informs the word, tree; the specific sound/word tree emerging as a specific vibration with meaning from my “body” as my “body” is interacting with a specific vibration having its own unique vibrating characteristics (i.e. the real tree).

As the specific sound/word tree emerges from my “body”, it informs and creates two vibrating existential states called “my mind” and “my verbal reality” in which the specific sound/word tree equates to a vibrating linguistic lens through which I view the real tree.

Similar verbal statements apply to the words: body, brain, mind, presence, organism, cell, molecule, atom, particle, quark, meson, string....to any of something of substance treated as a “noun” or an “object” or a “subject” including my body, my brain and my mind.

What are called “verbs” emerge in a similar manner, albeit each “verb” stands in for/represents a vibrating act (e.g. “sensing”, “sounding”, “marking”, “writing”, “drawing”, “wordsmithing”, “projecting”, “measuring”, “thinking”, “storytelling”.)

And as these “nouns” and “verbs” create and inform “my mind” and “my verbal reality”, “my mind” soon learns on its own or is taught by a teacher to string these “nouns” and “verbs” together into phrases and clauses using “filler words” called “adjectives”, “adverbs”, “articles” to shape the phrases and clauses into simple sentences and compound sentences....

....“my mind” ultimately learning to shape these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images” into verbal statements and verbal stories concerning what is real/what is not real

....including statements/stories concerning whether the real tree

is really “an oak”, “a maple” or a “redwood”, etc.

~~~

At birth, as an infant, I was not able to speak in code. As a toddler/child, I gradually learned to speak in code; but only after I could produce a specific vibration in the form of a specific sound and associate that specific vibration/sound with something of substance (e.g. a presence called ma ma or da da) to which the specific vibration/sound was pointing (like a sign)....thereby imbuing this specific vibration/sound....with meaning.

More specifically, as an infant, I was not able to speak in code. I had to be taught by my teacher....

....to use my body to shape Vibration called Sound into a specific vibration using the mechanics of voice in a manner coordinated by my brain...

....as my body, in a manner orchestrated by my brain, was interacting with something of substance to which my “teacher” was pointing.

The sounded/spoken word typically emerges first; the marked/drawn/written word emerging later but only I have been taught by my teacher....

....to use my body to shape Vibration called Light into a specific vibration using the mechanics of hand in a manner coordinated by my brain...

....as my body, in a manner orchestrated by my brain, was interacting with something of substance to which my “teacher” was pointing....

....my hand being aided by a marking tool applied to a smooth surface.

At birth, as an infant I have no mind and no verbal reality. It is only after my body has learned (i) to produce these vibrations with meaning and (ii) string them together into “sentences” and “paragraphs” that I can produce my verbal statements/verbal stories, ultimately learning to produce “papers” and “books”....this book being one example.

Bottom line:

What Is “Real” and called “real” is always emerging vibrationally from Vibrations as source/substance pursuant to a vibrating interacting (selecting) process. What makes we presences called “human” unique is how we string these “vibrations with meaning” called “words/symbols/images” together; not the fact that we have “them”.

Yet, there is always the matter of proof -- isn’t there? Of proving “true” to each “mind” what its “body/brain” is always sensing vibrationally....Beneath Words and beneath the symbols and images that accompany them.

SOME VERBAL STATEMENTS TO CONSIDER

(Before Moving On)

A poet is somebody who feels, and who expresses his feelings through words.

This may sound easy. It isn’t.

A lot of people think or believe or know they feel -- but that’s thinking or believing or knowing; not feeling. And poetry is feeling -- not knowing or believing or thinking.

Almost anybody can learn to think or believe or know, but not a single human being can be taught to feel. Why? Because whenever you think or you believe or you know, you’re a lot of other people: but the moment you feel, you’re nobody-but-yourself.

To be nobody-but-yourself -- in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else --- means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.

E.E.Cummings

What you will gradually discover if you choose to move on to the other writings set forth on the Center For Vibrational Studies website is that

Words, symbols and images are sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning.

They emerge out of the body in a manner coordinated by its brain.

They create and inform two vibrating existential states called “verbal reality” and “mind”.

Within each verbal reality and mind, they serve as vibrating linguistic lenses called projections, measurements and thoughts through which and by which the mind views and produces its stories concerning

What is real/What is not real

They point to a vibrating reality that is always emerging from a vibrating source and substance.

A vibrating source/substance

“The Word”

Vibration.

A vibrating reality in which

Each presence -- not matter what its “name”, “number” or “species”

Exist as a vibration for as long as it exists.

~~~

Yet,

There is always the matter of proof....isn’t there?

Of proving true to each “mind” what the “body” already feels and

What the “mind” can know, if it would only “listen”.

~~~

Keeping these “words” in “mind”, as you, the listener/reader move on in “your life” or to the next book, remain mindful of these verbal statements:

When using these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, each of we presences called “human” (including “you” and “me”) are using these two vibrating existential states called “verbal reality” and “mind” for the purpose of superposing a verbal statement/story upon what is currently being sensed in his/her “body” as

(i) his/her “body” is interacting with its physical surroundings in a manner orchestrated by “its brain”; and,

(ii) these physical surroundings are emerging within a single physical reality that is always emerging from a single source and substance.

In other words, when using “words”, “symbols” and “images”, you are always in “your mind” and “its verbal reality”. Indeed, it is within “your mind” and “its verbal reality” that your verbal memories emerge and are “recorded”.

In this sense, each of these kinds of thinking (both current and new) are verbal constructs emerging out of these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning (“Above Words”) pointing to what lies beneath these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning (“Beneath Words”).

In this sense, the best that can emerge, Above Words, is for a “mind”

To produce that one verbal story that best simulates what is being sensed in “its body” in a manner orchestrated by “its brain” Beneath Words

And then

To strive to establish a verbal agreement among “all minds” that this one verbal story is “true”, thereby proving this story is true.

~~~

The purpose of this new kind of thinking to which “your mind” has now been introduced is to supplement/complement the current kind of thinking in which “your mind” has been “schooled”....

....to supplement/complement the current kind of thinking in which “your mind” has been “educated” with a new “creation story”....a new “model of reality”....that allows “you” to dive deep Beneath Words and understand the true nature of “all that exists” including

(i) “your body”;

(ii) “your brain”;

(iii) the “reality” in which “your body” and “its brain” dwells: and,

(iv) their “source and substance”.

Bottom Line: Once “your mind” accepts the fact that all “words”, “symbols” and “images” are sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning that emerge from “its body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain”, “your mind” soon accepts the fact that that all sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning -- all “words/symbols/images” -- point to the same vibrating reality and same vibrating source/substance....

....no matter what words/symbols/images “your mind” selects.

A vibrating source and substance out of which each vibrating something of substance emerges as a vibration having vibrating characteristics unique to it and by which it can be identified through the use of a sound/mark/vibration with meaning called “a word”, “a symbol” or “an image”....

....a vibration that dwells within this vibrating reality and emerges from this vibrating source and substance for as long as it exists....

....we presences -- we vibrations -- called “human” being no exceptions

Simply Stated:

The underlying source and substance of all that exists is an underlying physical phenomenon....an underlying physical presence that is not only best represented by the word, “Vibration”, but also really is Vibration.

Vibration acts upon its potential and produces physical reality in the same manner as each of we presences called “human” acts upon his/her human potential and produces his/her first word and the many words, symbols and images that follow and inform his/her verbal reality.

It is out of Vibration that each vibrating something of something....each vibrating presence....emerges as a vibration having vibrating characteristics by which it can be identified -- each of we presences called “human” being no exception.

It is through these sound/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words” “symbols” and “images” that that we presences called “human” have the potential to evolve to a higher vibration -- a collective vibration -- and thereby continue this natural selecting process called “evolution”.

Yet, we also have the potential to “fail”.

A failure that most likely will occur and continue to occur unless and until we presences called “human” (or, more particularly, “our minds”) accept through verbal agreement that all vibrating somethings of substance (no matter how big or how small and no matter what its name, number or species) are always interacting, interconnecting and communicating, vibrationally -- each having a sensitive dependence upon the vibration/vibrations that comprise them....we presences called “human” being no exceptions.

The choice is ours/yours.

[END OF PART TWO OF YOUR JOURNEY, BENEATH WORDS]

MOVING ON

Each of these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” and each these two vibrating existential states called “verbal reality” and “mind” are the ultimate linguistic tools. Without them, we presences called “human” could not call “ourselves” human or distinguish us from all other presences in “our surroundings”. However, it is how we use these linguistic tools that makes the difference.

Using a kind of thinking (current kind of thinking) that simply skates along the surface of “words”, “symbols” and “images”, the vibrancy of what lies Beneath Words is lost....forgotten.

This new kind of thinking to which “you” have now been introduced opens “your mind” to this vibrancy by complementing/supplementing “each word”, “each symbol” and “each image” with the vibration that lies beneath it and to which it is pointing (Semiotics).

However, once “your mind” is embedded in this current kind of thinking, it is hard to “think” otherwise -- particularly hard “to think” of “each word”, “each symbol” and “each image” as being a sound/mark/vibration with meaning that stands in for and points to a vibration that lies beneath it.

One writing (i.e. this book) cannot educate a “mind” in this new kind of thinking since that writing can only be prepared from the unique perspective that the “writer” is experiencing in that present moment. Verbal statements presented from one unique perspective of the writer may have to be repeated multiple times from multiple perspectives of the writer before the “mind” of the “listener/reader” fully grasps what is being verbally stated (“spoken/written”).

Thus, appearing on the Center For Vibrational Studies website is a series of writings that I, the writer of these words, have authored from multiple perspective for the purpose of making this journey, Beneath Words, easier; this specific book being the first in the series. Hopefully, you, the listener/reader of this writing, will choose (act of selecting) to move on to these other writings, thereby allowing “you” to experience, vibrationally, both in “your mind” and in “your body” this new kind of thinking in many different ways from many different perspectives.

Once again, it is “your choice”.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

First: To the “presence” who produced the first vibration with meaning in the form of a sound with meaning or a mark with meaning -- thanks; and, to Vibration as the source/substance of all that exists, I acknowledge your presence.

Second: To the initial “teachers” who showed me how to use “my voice” and “my writing hand” (“my body”) in a manner coordinated by “my brain” to produce the “words/symbols/images” that initially created and informed “my mind” and “its verbal reality”; these “teachers” being mostly “my mother” and “my father”.

Third: To the these “initial teachers” and to the other “teachers” that appeared along the way in my “grammar school”, my “grade school”, my “high school” and “my college/law school” that “schooled me” on how to apply “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” in a way acceptable to the “tribe/community/nation” in which my “body/brain” dwelled....a “conventional way” that included a current kind of thinking that simply treated “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” as just “a word”, “a symbol” and “an image” -- nothing more.

Then: To those subsequent “teachers” who showed me a different way....a “road less traveled”....a way that allowed me to dive beneath the surface of the words”, “symbols” and “images” that created and informed “my mind”, “my verbal reality”, “my projections”, “my measurements”, “my thoughts”, “my verbal statements” and “my stories”....

....into these fundamental questions about which I now write....

....fundamental questions whose verbal answers I sought....

....verbal answers that began to appear only after “one night”, when seeking sleep that would not come -- mind racing, I experienced an existential state

....in which there existed “no words”, “no symbols”, “no images” and “no mind”....

....only a “listening”.

A PROSPECTIVE*

__________

*The noun prospective defined: 1 : “related to or effective in the future; 2 : likely to come about”. Webster’s Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary

When you, the reader of these words, (or, more particularly, “your mind”) shift

From treating “words”, “symbols” and “images” as only “words”, “symbols” and “images” whose meanings are defined by other “words”, “symbols” and “images”

To treating “words/symbols/images” as sounds/marks/vibration whose meanings are associated with the vibrations that lie beneath them

You will find your “self” living as a vibration in a vibrating reality that is always emerging from Vibration as source/substance.

You will also find that what is now thought of and called “your body”, “your brain” and “your mind” are really vibrations (each a vibrating existential state) as is “your verbal reality”....as are “your thoughts”, “your measurements”, “your projections” and “your verbal statements/stories”....

....as are what are now thought of and called “cells”, “molecules”, “atoms”, “particles”, “mesons”, “quarks”, “bosons” (e.g. Higgs Boson) and these “things” called “strings”.

For the “physicist”, this shift is fundamental....moving

From proving each something of substance is “real” by measuring it as having vibrating characteristics (e.g. a vibrating something of substance called “string”)

To proving each something of substance is real by measuring it as a vibration having vibrating characteristics (e.g. a vibration called “string”).

The shift seems subtle; yet, it is monumental since it informs “your mind” that each expression of “all that exists” is a vibration, leading to the conclusion that the source/substance of “all that exists” is Vibration; its Potential and the potential of each vibration being represented by a “wave function” (described by what is now thought of and called “Shrödinger’s Equation”) that collapses when there occurs a “measurement”.

MORE TO THE POINT:

Vibration acts upon itself through a vibrating interacting (selecting) process. By doing so, the Potential that exists in Vibration (as evidenced, verbally, by Schrödinger’s Equation) collapses into

What is Real, vibrationally

What Is (Potentially) Real, vibrationally

The former being called “the universe”; the latter emerging as a “parallel universe”.

EVEN MORE TO THE POINT:

Vibration acts through all vibrations that emerge from It; each of these vibrations acting upon its potential in each present moment called “Now” through this same vibrating interacting (selecting) process.

By doing so, the potential that exists in each vibration (as evidenced, verbally, by Schrödinger’s Equation) collapses into

What is Real, vibrationally, for it....in that present moment

What Is Not Real, vibrationally, for it....in that present moment.

MY POINT:

This vibrating interacting (selecting) process is the Creative Process by which what is called “real” or “reality” emerges.

Each vibrating act that a vibration selects is a part of this Creative Process.

Vibrating acts called “acts of sensing” are no exceptions nor are the acts that produce these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning that we vibrations called “human” call “words”, “symbols” and “images”.

Yet, as this Creative Process is producing what is “real”....what is “reality”....in each present moment....

....there is also emerging, vibrationally, in that present moment a bias (an Historical Bias) favoring acts of selecting previously made.

This “bias” pervades all that exists. It is evidenced in the vibrations called “our genes”, “our DNA”, “our RNA”....the vibrations that inform the development of these vibrations called “our bodies” and “our brains”.

And, in that sense, this “historical bias” pervades “our minds” and “our verbal realities” once these two vibrating existential states emerge.

It is overcoming the “historical bias” that pervades “our minds” and “our verbal realities” that is the hard part; this “historical bias” emerging in “our thoughts”, “our measurements” and “our projections”....but only after

(i) “our bodies” in a manner coordinated by “our brains” have produced these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images”; and

(ii) “our minds” have learned how to use these sounds/marks/vibrations

with meaning as vibrating linguistic lenses through which “our minds” (which existing within “our verbal realities”) view “reality” and produce our stories concerning

What Is Real/What Is Not Real

Overcoming the historical bias embedded in “each mind” (Above Words) is the hard part:

Absent the presence of these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning (Beneath Words), it’s just a matter of vibrationally surviving.

Present the presence of these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning, (Above Words): it’s a matter of vibrationally thriving while not making any “wrong turns”.

¹Most of these words appearing in this comment (but not all of them) are lifted from Beneath Words: What Lies There; the first in the series of twelve books that are being published by the Center Of Vibrational Studies on its website. Best practice to read this comment....from beginning to end....before moving on.

²In other words, “think” of these “infinities” as “potentialities” or “possibilities”; “potentialities/possibilities” that exist in each present moment and are representative of a “potential” that lies within each of we presences called “human” and each expression of all that exists....a potential that is part of the Potential out of which all that exists emerges....a Potential whose true physical nature (Vibration) will gradually be revealed to “your mind” if “your mind” is willing to engage in this new kind of thinking to which it is now being introduced.

⁴Although each expression of all that exists (no matter what its “name”, “number” or “species”) interacts (communicates), vibrationally, with each other and although many “species” interact (communicate), vibrationally, among “themselves” through sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning), we “humans” are the only species that call our sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning “words”, “symbols” and “images”. And, although many of these “species” have two vibrating existential states that (i) are both created and informed by the unique sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning they produce and (ii) allow them to interact/communicate between and among themselves more effectively, we “humans” are the only species that call these two vibrating existential states “mind/verbal reality”.

⁵If you speak/sound the word that is your “name” first outwardly (out loud) and then inwardly (to “yourself”), you will note that the “sound” has a lasting effect; it stays with “you” for a moment as if “it” is a thought” (which it is). It also is a “projection” and a “measurement”; the word that is “your name” being a “thought” and a “projection” by which you are verbally measured. There is a similar effect that occurs when you write/mark the word that is your “name”.

⁶What you discovered in my book, Beneath Words, What Lies There, is that what are called “words”, “symbols” and “images” are really vibrations with meaning expressed in the form of sounds and marks. Allow me to draw a distinction between what is called “intellect” and what is called “intelligence” (i.e. “intellect” being “of the mind”; “intelligence” being “of the body/brain”). Building on that distinction, you can “think” of “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” as being associated with “your intellect” and you can think of these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning as being associated with “your intelligence”. Intellectually, you (or, more particularly, “your mind”) can listen/read “words”, “symbols” and “images” over and over again and again before “your body” in a manner orchestrated by “your brain” senses each “word”, each “symbol” and each “image” as being a specific vibration expressed in the form of a specific sound or a specific mark. Thus, although admittedly, this repetition is bothersome; this incessant repeating does have a purpose.

⁷For purposes of identification, these questions are referred to as fundamental.

⁸Typically, a “wordsmith” is defined as a person (a “human”) that works with words. I use the word, “wordsmith” in a broader sense: a “wordsmith” being a person (a “human”) that works with these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”. In this sense, I include within the definition of “wordsmith” all of Humanity” including those wordsmiths called “theologians”, “philosophers”, “scientists”, “physicists” and “mathematicians”.

⁹The first ten of these books are relatively short and concise; each being a short book that introduces you, the reader of these words, to this new kind of thinking and new model of reality in its own unique way. The remaining two books are long, representing a “stream of consciousness” that emerged in “my mind” as “my mind” was striving to identify the best words/symbols/images by which I could coherently portray the reality that lies Beneath Words and its source/substance.

¹⁰Of course, these is always the matter of proof -- isn’t there? Of having to prove “true” to all “minds” that what is being verbally stated is “true”; this “burden of proof” being a verbal matter that I have chosen to address through each of these twelve books styled “Beneath Words” and the journey, Beneath Words, they portray.

¹¹This book commences with a similar (more expansive) comment.

¹²When you have a few moments to “self-reflect” on what has been verbally stated in these opening pages, please give some “thought” to the fact that absent the presence of words, symbols and images you would not have a “mind” or a “verbal reality” in which “you” can perform your acts of self-reflecting. Also when you have a few moments, supplement your reading of this book with A Man Without Words, written by Susan Schaller, Foreword by Oliver Sacks, Second Edition (University of California Press, 2012).

¹³See Footnote 1 and related text. Keep “in mind” that at their most fundamental level of existence, there is really no difference among “words”, “symbols” and “images” -- each being a vibration with meaning expressed in the form of a “sound” or a “mark”.

¹⁴Recognize that the sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning chosen (act of selecting) to produce this new kind of thinking and the model of reality it implicates is also expressed in code -- albeit this code is embedded in the vibration that is “the word”....not just “the word”. Absent the presence of these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning, nothing could be vibrationally stated. Present the presence of these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning, what “the mind” must do is continuously strive (i) to string “them” together into the best model of reality and then (ii) convince all other “minds” that is it “the best”.

¹⁵Once the “mind” emerges within its “verbal reality” and commences using these vibrations with meaning as “projections”, “measurements” and “thoughts”, it becomes relatively easy to “think” in terms of this vibrating characteristic coded “F&I” as exhibiting a “wave form” and these vibrating characteristics coded “G” and “S” as exhibiting a “particle form”.
