SOUND & THE VOYAGER

ENCOUNTER WITH SATURN

By performing quantifiable science research, this vibrational influence on human thought processes and energy interchange will be measured and documented from data obtained from the sophisticated technical instruments.

The Voyager missions to Saturn verified its beauty beyond scientist's wildest imagination. Saturn, the sixth planet in our solar system from the Sun is one of the gas giants whose volume is 815 times that of earth, but with a density of only 95.2%. What lies beneath those clouds we can only guess?

The Voyager spacecraft launched in 1977 had plasma wave instruments on board with 16 channel spectrum analyzers that provide accurate spectral information about the voltage changes during the Saturn encounters in 1980 and 1981. The intensity in each filter returned to earth consisted of 15 sequences of intensity measurements covering the Voyager channels. The center frequencies are at 10 Hz, 18 Hz, 31 Hz, 56 Hz, 100 Hz, 180 Hz, 311 Hz, 560 Hz, 1 kHz, 1.8 kHz, 3.1 kHz, 5.6 kHz, 10 kHz, 18 kHz, 31 kHz, 56 kHz, each filter has approximately 15~o fractional band width.

The Voyager program is viewed as one of NASA's most productive space science missions, with six planetary encounters in 12 years including two first time visits to Uranus and Neptune.

The current objective is to research the space sounds from the Voyager encounter with the planets in a scientific visionary process. The sound data as recorded will have great scientific contributions relative to the physical properties of planets in our solar system.

Previous evidence of human biological responses using various sounds and sonic vibrational frequencies have been found to have a direct effect upon the physiological systems (i.e. pulse rate, respiration, GSR, EMG, pupillary dilation, EEG, EKG, body temperature, and others). Recent advances in technology and research have yielded a wealth of information concerning sonic waveforms and their effect on the body and the brain. A new science of psychoacoustics has arisen parallel to the already established discipline of music therapy. From forerunners in the field of sonic vibration, sound, and music for stimulating physical and subconscious response have shown positive results with limited research.

More recent evidence has shown physical and psychological responses using disguised nature sounds. This includes ocean waves, water, wind, animal, human, organic, dolphin, etc. sounds, processed electronically in different octaves, speeded up and slowed down, processed through different filters and embedded with specific frequencies for resonating brain waves into target states for opening the subconscious mind. Studies carried out in a variety of centers across the U.S. have all seen positive physiologic and psychological responses to the application of sound frequencies and music

One aspect of the current experimental projects with which there has been powerful response is in the realm of "primordial sounds". It has been further found that these sounds have a far greater impact when they are disguised in such a way that the conscious mind does not recognize them. This then activates a mechanism similar to the subliminal programming response (such as "buy coke" is speeded up or slowed down to unrecognizable proportions, yet the subconscious mind seems to easily hear the message and produce significant results in altered behavior).

By exposing test subjects to sound environments of disguised "primordial sounds", a state of subconscious "openness" seems to occur in which a heightened suggestibility of the mind occurs. In some cases it appears that even neuro-hormone and autonomic body processes respond to specific sound frequencies. The possibilities for this level of tapping into higher brain functions and the implication for the fields of psychology, learning, healing, etc. are too great to ignore.

Many of the sounds, which have been used thus far, have a striking similarity to a number of the space-recorded sounds from NASA. Indeed, one of the interesting peculiarities of disguising the primordial nature and organic sounds is that they tend to sound like one another at different octave levels; dolphin/ocean sounds like dolphins, human voice sounds speeded up sound first like dolphins and then like birds, etc. all with a powerful effect on the subconscious mind. Extensive research is needed to determine if these observed responses could be predicted and controlled.

Our current proposal is for the use of NASA space sound recordings in a series of controlled experiments to ascertain the exact parameters of the possible biological and psychological effects on human subjects with the possibility of accurate control of these responses. We propose that this project be affiliated with the University of California at San Diego (U.C.S.D.), Department of Experimental Psychology, the Department for Music Experimentation, and possibly an affiliation with the research section of Scripps Hospital in La Jolla for access to M.R.I. and P.E.T. Scan equipment for accurate physiological and neurological response mapping of brain and body functions can also occur from electromagnetic radiation. The heart, brain and muscles all emit signals from less than one cycle per second to over a hundred thousand cycles per second. These signals form the basis of electrocardiograms and electroencephalograms. Amidst all this electrical activity, four predominant brain wave patterns can be identified:

Delta 0.5 to 3 Hz Deep Sleep, higher state of consciousness

Theta 4 to 7 Hz Reverie, dream states

Alpha 8 to 13 Hz Passive, blank, relaxed, meditation

Beta 14 to 30 Hz Thinking, activity mind and/or body

This proposed research would concentrate on the vibrational effect of molecular rearrangement of cells and the fundamental role of frequency motions on the brain. These waves and vibrational patterns will be analyzed using the effect of space sounds on emotional and physical possibilities by rearranging to the energy patterns. This in-depth research is intended to conclude and give way to clues and basis for an ecologically sound approach to this science since no event, device, artificial or human action is seen as separate from the universe as a whole. By performing quantifiable science research this vibrational influence on human thought processes and energy interchange will be measured and documented from data obtained from the sophisticated technical instruments.

The ultimate goal is to build ecologically sound devices using mathematical and engineering models and heretofore-unconsidered techniques to establish relationships of subtle oscillatory patterns in energy patterns and pathways. Physiology, anatomy, biology, botany, ecology will be considered in a holistic approach of understanding the vibrational whole and to incorporate the sound technology with related color healing frequencies, so will be the rebirth of the "Temple of Sound" for healing.

A great amount of the above work was started by the late John David and continues to be researched by Dr. Jeffery Thompson and Richard Stamper in the San Diego area. Much of the advancement of this sound technology must be credited to these dedicated research individuals.

The next decade of science missions will require some earth introspection and research aimed at healing earth and its inhabitants. We now have a wealth of data from the Voyager 1 and 2 missions. Much of the data is not understood or misunderstood because of the political/religious aspects of the science industry on earth. The data to be interpreted requires a philosophical and technical paradigm shift by scientists because the basic principles by which we as earth beings deemed science often does not apply in other worlds. Should this shift in thinking occur you would see the process to cure and prevent cancer as well as the elimination of AIDS happen overnight as a part of the Enlightened Earth.

Conversation with Roland L. Beanum on Gamma Rays, Consciousness & the Universe. Gamma Ray observation of galaxies are also beginning to help scientist unravel the mystery of the dark, unseen matter that they believe orbits each star system and galaxy. According to Beanum "Gamma rays are an energy of the highest order we are aware of. When you start to talk about gamma rays, you have to talk about consciousness. At the instant that this energy came out of the darkness, there was a consciousness, an awareness, and that awareness had order to it. It didn’t just happen by accident.
