Chris Answers questions from Canada: Music, Frequency, Mind, and Ormus
Hi Chris, I am studying about ORMUS via your 'Ormus Academy. I am at part where Einstein states how important MUSIC was in helping him in his discoveries. Can you recommend some books to me on the link between...insight/intuition and MUSIC? I much appreciate learning about ORMUS through your...ORMUS ACADEMY. God bless you! -D
Dear D- Following are some of the printed materials available on the topic of music and intuitive thinking in scientific work:
1: Einstein On Creative Thinking: Music and the Intuitive Art of Scientific Imagination by Michele and Robert Root-Bernstein: This book explores how Einstein used music as a tool for his scientific imagination and how he integrated intuition and logic in his creative process. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/imagine/201003/einstein-creative-thinking-music-and-the-intuitive-art-scientific-imagination
2: Music Thinking in Science by Zoltan Roman: This book examines the role of music in scientific thinking and how some of the greatest scientists, such as Kepler, Newton, Einstein, and Bohr, were influenced by music in shaping their scientific ideas.
https://www.scirp.org/Journal/PaperInformation?PaperID=84399
3: Music, Creativity and Scientific Thinking: Are music and science different types of intelligence (as posited in the context of Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences), or are they two manifestations of common ways of thinking? By focusing on scientists who have been musicians and on the ways they have used their musical knowledge to inform their scientific work, the author argues in this article that music and science are two ways of using a common set of tools for thinking that unify all disciplines. He explores the notion that creative individuals are usually polymaths who think in trans-disciplinary ways.

4: The continuous in motion: music and/as science: "Musical knowledge is both propositional (i.e. facts) and procedural (i.e. processes) and tacit (i.e. knowledge that we have without knowing exactly how or why we have it). A distinctive characteristic of music is its ability to flow freely between these types."
https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/03080188.2022.2035101
5: The Music of the Spheres: Music, Science, and the Natural Order of the Universe by Jamie James: This book traces the history of the ancient idea that music and the cosmos are in harmony, and how this idea inspired many scientific discoveries and artistic creations.
https://www.amazon.com/Music-Spheres-Science-Natural-Universe/dp/0387944745
6: The music that influenced the work of Albert Einstein: Music played a very special role in the development of the conceptual thinking of Albert Einstein. His love for music was an enduring passion that shaped his views of the world and vision of the universe.

7: Music -Texts by Dr. Antonio Moreno González: Einstein was influenced by his mother's musical gifts At the age of six he had already mastered the violin and it was to remain his favorite musical instrument for the rest of his life. Music and science were his two great passions. When he travelled, he would take his violin ("Lina") with him.

PART ONE: ALBERT EINSTEIN, USE OF MUSIC
Now we explore Albert Einstein’s problem-solving and unique working process during his scientific work. Central to success was his enjoyment of classical music, with music being the driving force behind insights and intuitions that followed. Einstein, having musical training since youth, held deep collective understandings of music’s architecture, couched in its octaves, scales, and pitch.
To begin, we bring up that passage in Ormus relating to Einstein linking his scientific work to music, which you read in learning unit “Part Two: m state”. Link here:
https://emmonsessentialessence.com/part-two
“…Albert Einstein attributed his scientific insight and intuition mainly to music. "If I were not a physicist," he once said, "I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.... I get most joy in life out of music" After playing piano, his sister Maja said, he would get up saying, "There, now I've got it" Einstein told gestalt psychologist Max Wertheimer that he often thought in terms of musical architectures. Einstein told the great pioneer of musical education, Shinichi Suzuki: "The theory of relativity occurred to me by intuition, and music is the driving force behind this intuition. My new discovery is the result of musical perception." Einstein’s understanding of music assisted his scientific work….”
The image of Einstein which stands out in our minds today is an old person who just looks unlike everybody else. A loveable-looking aged man with unruly hair, like a mind untethered, and a mustache robust, a bit oversized.
The fact is: Physicist and mathematician Einstein, educated in the technical disciplines, with his name synonymous with science, also had a well-rounded education that included the arts and humanities. He was a devoted amateur musician, an accomplished violinist, who played with some of the great performers of his time.
Later, shifting to the piano, the depth of Einstein’s musical life ran in tandem with his scientific one, often becoming inseparable. Music was integral to his life, there was something in the music that would guide his thoughts in new and creative directions. He gave affirmation to music in his work when he said "The greatest scientists are artists as well." (Calaprice, 2000, 245). His son, Hans, recounted that "whenever he felt that he had come to the end of the road or into a difficult situation in his work, he would take refuge in music, and that would usually resolve all his difficulties" (quoted in Clark, 1971, 106). His sister Maja said that he would get up after playing the piano saying, "There, now I've got it" (quoted in Sayen, 1985, 26).
Einstein was a huge admirer of Bach and often played the ‘Concerto For Two Violins’. Talking about his approach to problem-solving and his unique working process, Einstein once provided details about his routine:
“First I improvise and if that doesn’t help, I seek consolation in Mozart; but when I am improvising and I feel I am achieving something, I need the clear constructions of Bach to get to the end.” Here is the link to hear ‘Bach - Concerto for two violins in D minor BWV 1043’

While piano playing and Einstein’s scientific work are not related in any direct or tangible sense, his collective understanding of musical architecture with its octaves, scales, and pitch had the same effect that walking has for many people: Ambulatory thinking processes, such as piano playing, facilitate the release of creative juices.
Einstein attributed his scientific insight and intuition mainly to music. In interviews he said: “"If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.... I get most joy in life out of music" (Calaprice, 2000, 155).
Asked about how his theory of relativity came to him Einstein said “It occurred to me by intuition, and music was the driving force behind that intuition. My discovery was the result of musical perception.”
Einstein acknowledged to thinking about science in terms of images and intuitions, often drawn directly from his experiences as a musician, only later converting these into logic, words and mathematics. Music inspired and guided him; stimulating parts of his brain that could not be accessed through sitting at his desk. Music gave him a sense of patterns, feelings, hunches, intuitions and ways of thinking that don’t involve words.
How Einstein explored time and space in his musical hobbies is in this article by Robert and Michele Root-Bernstein in Psychology Today, March 31, 2010, titled “Einstein On Creative Thinking: Music and the Intuitive Art of Scientific Imagination.” You will want to read it. Link here followed by an applicable quote from the article.
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/imagine/201003/einstein-creative-thinking-music-and-the-intuitive-art-scientific-imagination
“…For Einstein, insight did not come from logic or mathematics. It came, as it does for artists, from intuition and inspiration. As he told one friend, "When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come close to the conclusion that the gift of imagination has meant more to me than any talent for absorbing absolute knowledge." Elaborating, he added, "All great achievements of science must start from intuitive knowledge. I believe in intuition and inspiration.... At times I feel certain I am right while not knowing the reason." Thus, his famous statement that, for creative work in science, "Imagination is more important than knowledge" (Calaprice, 2000, 22, 287, 10)….”
In the scientific work of Einstein, the connection between music, mathematics, and physics was his intuition and reason, often having a feeling he was right without being able to explain it. His experience of space-time was through music, working out ideas in images and feelings and musical architectures for which there are no words or symbols.
An example of Einstein’s confidence in his intuitive knowledge, is seen when he theorized that gravity must bend light. Although he wouldn’t have the math to support the idea until 1915, four years later, an experiment done during an Eclipse proved this was to be true and the 4th dimension (time) confirmed. Albert Einstein was asked what he would have done if the observations hadn’t validated his math. His reply: “Then I would have been sorry for the dear Lord. The theory is correct.”
PART 2: MUSIC, FREQUENCY, MIND and ORMUS
By the team of Bob Winter and Penny Winter (the trap water diary research lady), significant Ormus contributors since 1993, and collaborators in Ormus Academy.
In this part 2, connections between music and insights/intuitions are addressed. Ormus is also included. Bob and Penny Winter are excellent and knowledgeable resources on the topic. Bob Winter holds a degree in electrical engineering, and both are musicians, having an often-played cathedral organ in the home. Bob explains: “I played the trumpet as a boy and into adulthood. Pen played the piano and clarinet. So, we both were raised under the influence of music. Decades ago, we transitioned to the multiple keyboard organ as it is capable of expanding our musical capabilities and experiences in infinite ways.
To attempt an answer to the inquiry I will first state that I have no books by Albert Einstein and have no articles that I can recommend. But, my thoughts on the subject based on frequency research over these past decades would indicate that if one bathes in harmonic frequencies that resonate with their being, then this person will be at ease and more open to any message or ideas that may flow as a modulated signal entering their being and consciousness. If one is in a state of stress, anxiety, or anger such person is radiating energy outward and effectively closed to any incoming potentially helpful knowledge.
As a personal example: At the potentially emotionally charged age of 16 I was working as an apprentice auto mechanic under my Grand Dad’s watchful eye. One day I was becoming upset and noticeably angry when I could not remember how to use a particular tool to assemble the engine valves on a six-cylinder Plymouth flat head engine. The more I tried, the more irritated I became. Grandad walked over to me and said, “Just walk away for a bit, go outside and take a break.” I asked him for the answer but he replied, “You know the answer but your anger is pushing it away from you. You need to calm down to let what you know re-enter your mind.”
A half hour later I came back in, and yes, I quickly remembered how to use the simple tool to hold the parts in place to reassemble the valve springs to the valves.
That was my first real awakening about frequency and energy radiation from a human body. Grandad did not mention frequencies but he knew from decades of experience that anger and frustration limits mental ability. I will never forget that lesson. I learned about frequencies later studying electronics and music.
Music that is in harmonic resonance with an individual will be calming and help clear the mind enabling clear thinking and potential new ideas. Albert Einstein, being a musician surely had to understand this concept.
Consider the effects of music on human behavior. In the fifties and before, music was mostly melodic. Great harmonies and vocals that blended nicely with the complex wave forms of the many instruments.
Today many forms of music are recorded, sold and aired over the radio and TV waves. Some of these are what is called “Rap” recordings. I personally do not call these recordings music as they do not contain significant melodic harmonies. While they are rhythmic, they are generally harsh and most often played very loud. The vocals often carry strongly negative messages that do not promote wellness nor a calm demeanor in the listener.
I do not recall any killings nor severe altercations in dance and music clubs prior to about 1960 when the Rap generation seems to have been started. Since then, multiple gun fights, killings and often seeming open warfare appears to exist in the “Rap Community”. The Rap sound then can be seen either as the cause of these events brought on by repressing beneficial frequencies, or the result of individuals personally repressing the more beneficial frequencies and then writing and recording these rap diatribes.
When I am near a source of one of these Rap recordings being played, I can feel the negative energy attempting to enter my personal energy space. It feels like a hammering, attempting to chip away at my very being. I do not confront the person, I just leave. I find attempting to communicate effectively with such an individual will most likely meet a mental stone wall.
Attempting to find a calming radio station to listen to here in south west Michigan is nearly impossible. More and more stations promote songs that lack complex harmonies which can help soothe and ease one through the day’s events and challenges.
In short, the frequencies in musical compositions can serve to uplift a troubled spirit, add energy to a tired soul, inspire one to continue toward a personal goal; but can also serve to motivate negativity. The frequencies actually penetrate our very being and resonate within us. So, choose wisely depending on the mood you wish to attain.
While shopping at department stores, I often feel uncomfortable. Then I realize the store is playing music over their system and their choice is not even close to any recording I would choose. Most stores now seem to be attempting to reach a generation or two much younger than I. For the most part I did not care for the Rock N Roll sounds of the 50’s and later. I preferred the old classics and what is often called “Long Hair Music”. Still do but even much of that is far too boring. Chamber music for example is mostly dull and dry lacking in full spectrum multiplex of harmonics. Even modern-day country western has evolved downward musically with vocals concentrating more on negative aspects of everyday life accompanied by harsh instrumentals. One shining star still exists from the sixties. Willie Nelson - His songs still carry some positive messages with pleasing melodies and instrumental harmonies.
Pen and I have a cathedral organ here in our home. We can and often to play some of our favorite compositions on it. The organ is capable of filling the entire home with THUNDEOUS harmony adding power to one’s very being and then transitioning to nearly silent wispy uplifting cords, or individual flute notes that make one feel lighter than a feather. Thus, we can choose according to our mood. Gentle and almost silent or bold and complex. Lots of fun and uplifting in sooooo many ways.
It is understandable that Albert Einstein would have moved from the violin to the piano. This gave him more musical variation to explore. The violin like a trumpet or clarinet plays a limited range of notes and variations. But traveling with a violin is far easier than taking a piano with him at that time. Today portable keyboards have almost replaced real pianos. But true artists still prefer a real piano. The striking of the key on live strings produces harmonic vibrations beyond what even the best sampled instruments can replicate.
About A. Einstein and music? To understand this one must first and foremost understand that all of the universe is based and powered, down to the smallest as yet undiscovered particle by vibrational frequency.
Everything everywhere infinitely in every direction regardless of size, immeasurably large or infinitely small is complete with internal vibrations unique to its size. Further each frequency can blend (Modulate) easily with all other frequencies that are an even proportional in wave length.
Each human is said to have seven primary Chakras. These are the primary energy centers and each has a specific frequency. No two humans have the exact same combination of specific frequencies. In this way we are indeed unique individuals.
Sight, sound, taste and all other inputs to our being, are in the form of frequencies. How our bodies respond to various frequency inputs results in our feeling a positive or negative sensation. And again, since we are all slightly different, we will respond differently at least to some degree. This is especially true with taste, smell, and perception of pleasing or displeasing colors.
Perhaps you have heard the term, “Does that sound, taste, or sight resonate with you?”
I haven not read any of A. E.’s works directly. Just a few quotes by other authors over the years. From what I gathered he mentioned we live in a set of perhaps 10 band widths of octaves. Lower frequencies and much higher frequencies are simply beyond the ability of our potential to ever relate to. IE: faster frequency realities are too fast or too small for our limited equipment to ever measure or interact with. Similarly, slower realities move so slowly and over time frames that are not even recognizable to us. Further, they would potentially be multiples of light years in size even their basic building blocks would be too large to even recognize.
Music we enjoy is also composed of vibrational frequencies. The lowest is around 3 hz and the fastest most of us can hear is about 1,6000 hz. We utilize our voices to vibrate air to talk or communicate in other verbal ways such as song. Each of us has a unique voice that modulates harmonics and dynamics on the frequencies producing pleasing or if wanted, non-pleasing sounds to covey intent. But the basic form is nothing but vibrations.
As mentioned, all mater has a basic frequency. This provides researchers with the ability to identify elements. ORMUS elements are primarily in the PGM metal group and these frequencies have proven over the centuries to be in harmonic resonance with life forms including us humans.
Researchers are beginning to use technical recording techniques to record and play back the sounds made by our world and other celestial bodies. We are living in truly remarkable times.
How music interfaces with ORMUS is then one of harmonic resonance. And just as a particular song or musical chord can resonate with someone resulting in feelings of calm and comfort, the same song may provoke negative feelings in another. So, each of us may have a particular song or number of songs that make us feel better. It is all about resonance. And once again we are all similar but our basic frequencies vary to some degree enabling us to be unique.
Albert Einstein appeared to understand this concept to some degree but I have not read any article where he addressed the idea head on.
Ormus substances while not music, radiate inaudible frequencies that help realign the body to promote renewed energy, mental acuity, and overall health. Each of the PGM elements are a band width of frequencies, modulated on a primary carrier frequency limited and controlled by the physical dimensions of the elemental group or individual atom. As a real-world example: Your cell phone has an antenna cut to a specific length. That length allows it to selectively receive only the frequency desired. Once the base carrier frequency is detected, the data impressed on it (Modulated) is extracted and amplified by a set of filters. The base or carrier frequency is simply negated. This form of FM, frequency modulation, is simply us humans copying nature. But it only took us a few thousand years to understand and replicate the process.
Anyway, just some thoughts on music as Albert Einstein would have potentially stated if he was here to present his ideas. -Pen and Bob Winter
