It was hardly more than one hundred and fifty years ago that science considered the universe to be a machine, before coming to the conclusion that the cosmos is more like a chemical retort. Now - following the insights of quantum physics - we recognize what ancient cultures, especially the ancient Indians, have known for millennia: that everything is vibration: light, sound, and the power of consciousness. For decades, philosopher Andreas Klinksiek and the Academy of Harmonics have been exploring the vibrational reality of the world and the vibrational nature of humanity, as the effects of light and sound on body, soul, and spirit represent a promising field of research that is sure to reveal many discoveries. This fundamental research into universal vibrational energetics has already led to some practical applications that promote holistic consciousness development.
