That's what I meant earlier by if you know how to speak and know all there is to know about language, God said, let there be light, how this language creates reality. And ancient biblical texts are encoded with the science of harmonics. People should look into my friend's work, Howard Barry Schatz, someone who went so deep into...
in Kabbalah, and now he teaches it to rabbis, and he happened to study the esoteric side of sound with Ernst Maclean, who kept the torch that Plato was talking about. They're all encoded with the science of harmonics and the ultimate truth. He was able to decode the Sefer Yetzirah, the Book of Creation, that's attributed to Abraham.
that the ultimate message given through is that harmonic series is a living God. So it's a very serious matter. But that's a whole other story. I'm going to come back to what your mouth is doing. It's creating consonants and vowels. Let's keep vowels on the right side. Vowels and consonants. Consonants are vowels that you add to them
Besides opening and closing the buccal cavity, which changes the physics of the sound, you add to them something, part of your mouth, like E becomes T when your tongue touches the back of the upper teeth and a little bit the gum, very specific, T. T, people should say T and feel the shape, E, T. Now, if we don't get the tongue to do something, we get the lips to do something, it could be P.
E, P, T, P, V. They're getting close. And V, different than B. And when we get sloppy, then the V becomes B in Spanish. And people change. And then you have three, four letters sounding the same. They're not supposed to sound the same. Each letter is supposed to sound different. The H, J, and G, and X. So languages and systems change over the years. And then you lose...
So at the end, you are creating waveforms. You're creating different physics, state of resonance that creates pathos. And this is where we got lost. And I think... Jehovah, Yahweh, Yod, He, Vav, He. If you are a religious Jewish person or something, you don't say the name Yahweh. It's blasphemous. Nobody knows how to say it. This is a reference to harmonic series.
The unpronounceable name of God, Tetragrammaton, I believe it's the harmonic series. Why it's unpronounceable? No one can pronounce infinite number of frequencies together. Only God. Not most people can pronounce...
Yes, exactly. The logos, again, it's a metaphor. So here's how diaphonic singing, overtone singing, sounds like. And I follow physics to get to it. And I'm going to talk about how I'm producing it. Hopefully people will practice it. I'm picking any note, preferably mid-range notes, so that it'll be comfortable for me to sustain it. I'll take a deep breath in.
Like this not being, ah, my harmonics are there. You're hearing them as my tone color. Now I'm going to sing it in a way preserving the fundamental frequency. And my tongue, keeping my lower jaw stationary this time, I'm going to create something like vowels by moving my tongue up and down and exploring different ways.
When you do that and you move it correctly, you create a condition in physics and acoustic called Helmholtz resonance. Helmholtz resonance means a specific frequency shape of space, size of space can naturally amplify one of the harmonics. Like when you blow in a Coke bottle or any bottle, and if you add water to it, then the pitch goes higher. We've all done that.
Or when you have the window next to you as a driver, open and someone in the back opens the window and start to go, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, that's Helmholtz resonance. It can manifest in different ways. But you can amplify something that's there, it's there all the time, we can hear it, and that's what the harmonic singing is.
And that's why Buddhist monks do it to quiet the mind, to quiet the maya and go into state of nothingness. They do it in a more guttural way. I can't do it so well, but it sounds like, I'm going to do it in a way that it's comfortable for me, which is the same, which is,
Good. Any note doesn't have to be mine.
Beautiful. Your ability on the didgeridoo came handy and I could hear the didgeridoo start singing. Exactly that. Exactly. Anyone can do it. You just need to be more patient and do it slowly.
Don't move through the harmonics very quickly, which means don't start to move the tongue very quickly, very slow first, just to get the hang of it and to know the placement that this tongue has to be in exactly the right place for the right echo chamber to amplify naturally that specific harmonic. If you move too quickly, you're gonna miss it.
And it has to be just the right space because it's related to physics. Anyone can do it. Now, how did you feel after having done that? Let's talk about
Exactly. Exactly. it becomes more powerful for producing your sound because you're no longer experiencing the sound from an auditory standpoint, but you're also experiencing through bone and tissue conduction. That means your skull, your jaws, your lips, your tongue, your cheeks, your neck, your chest, and the rest of your body, but you feel these areas that are close to the source the most.
And that's how we experience our voice, through audio and bone and tissue conduction. This is why people, when they listen to their voice on a recording for the first time, like the answering machine, everybody reacts the same way. That doesn't sound like me. Yeah, dude, that's how people hear you. You don't hear yourself like that.
You hear yourself at the same time in combination of auditory and bone and tissue conduction. Except here, because it's recorded, it's only auditory. So the harmonics are different.
You see how reality is created differently and how acoustics are always, they have a hand in there that changed the perception, changed the way. You keep following that and understanding the constructs around the physics of sound acoustics, you get the gold. you get to the logos, you get to different reality, you get to different set of harmonies or different ethos and pathos.
