Resonance: A Generation's Opportunity

by Ken Carey

The Word that is spoken by God resounds in our mutual hearing simultaneously. This eternal, creative moment opens the arms of her potential inviting harmony and grace. In a linear sense, each moment becomes more welcoming. As each additional human being enters a state of healthy attunement, it becomes easier for others to enter into harmony with them. Though the opportunity to experience a fundamental spiritual healing has always been present, it has never been so easy. It is becoming easier day by day.

It has been said that every Christian generation has had among its numbers those who supposed they were to see the Second Coming, we at this time are merely echoing the hope that springs fresh in every age. Yet even without taking into account the prophecies which point to modern times, there is a profound reason why you and I are living in the generation that shall see the restored dominion of God's creative purposes upon the earth. This reason can be summed up in four words: the power of attunement.

Putting all other factors aside for a moment, the laws of probability suggest that as the earth's population continues to increase, each given moment will find more people than ever before in a state of harmonious function. Every human being who begins to function in a healthy way enters “the Holy Place” of the Most High”, a state of attunement with the full spectrum of vibrational frequencies that dance throughout the universal order. Each individual who restores trust in God sounds a note in harmonic resonance with the entire cosmos. This magnifies the vibrations of the Holy Place.

Presently, each human being on earth is sounding a note or tone of sorts, but for the most part these notes are not in any kind of harmony. Just as no two snowflakes are alike, no two discordant notes are ever similar enough to build upon one another's harmonics. Consequently, their destructive effects on the surrounding environment are arithmetically cumulative, but far from exponential. If it were possible for dissonance to become amplified through resonance, the earth would have long since perished.

Many a bridge collapsed beneath the coordinataed step of marching soldiers before the awesome power of resonance was recognized. Physicists call this curious amplification of harmonics “rhythmic entrainment.” Perhaps the best example of it was discovered by the proprietors of 19th century clock shops who repeatedly observed that all their clocks with pendulums of the same length would sooner or later end up with their pendulums swinging in harmony. Experiments showed that no matter how randomly the pendulums were set in motion, sooner or later, they would all begin swinging together. Moreover, it was found that the length of time that it took for all the pendulums to begin swinging in harmony (after they were set in motion randomly) decreased exponentially in direct proportion to the number of clocks that had begun to move together. In other words, it would take a while for the first two clocks out of a roomful of forth-five clocks to begin to swing together once the pendulums of all forty-five had been randomly set in motion. It would not take quite so long for the third clock to join the first two. The fourth would come in with much less hesitation and so on, until by the time there were (say) a dozen clocks with pendulums swinging side by side, it would seem that the rest would join them almost instantaneously. The number that it takes to cause this almost instantaneous shift of the whole is called a “resonate minority.”

No one who has lived the two millennia since the life of Jesus Christ has been denied an opportunity of resonating with divine frequencies. It has always been the case that, “Where two or three of you are gathered together in my name there I am in your midst.” But because of the increased population of the earth and because of the changing subconscious climate, there are more human beings resonating today with frequencies of love and truth than ever before.

This epoch is one of those rare times in the slow rolling eons when lightening is able to jump down from the heavens, when the myriad and forever-turning creative cycles are all about to roll over in a row of metaphorical zeros. We are very close to the optimal moment in which a fundamental human transformation might occur, when the consciousness of eternity can wake up and come to dwell among the forms that inhabit time. You and I, our brothers and sisters, our parents, friends, and co-workers are living in a moment of unprecedented historical opportunity.
