The Seven Sacred VOW+ELs (A 🧵)
The Tradition of Chanting Vowels is Very Ancient. In Ancient Egypt, the Laws of Music were engraved on the Temple Walls. Pythagoras taught that the Soul, just as the world, is created according to musical laws & should be tempered accordingly.

It was believed that Pythagoras used Music & Sound to cure people. As Diogenes wrote, "he used to practice divination by sound or voice."
According to Plato, the practice of vowel incantations derived from Ancient Egypt. It was taught that the Hebrew Alphabet was Mystical.

This tradition is still preserved by Rosicrucians & Qabbalist who chant Sacred Vowels (& different G-d names) in a certain order and, also, engage in meditation connected with the Tree of Life, thus harmonizing (& integrating) different aspects of the Self & Psyche.
It was taught that, "When the Seven Heavens sing together they produce a perfect harmony which ascends as an everlasting praise to the throne of the Creator. The Seven Strings were always related both to their correspondences in the human body and to the planets."
"The names of God were also conceived to be formed from combinations of the seven Planetary Harmonies.”
According to Manly P. Hall, the Deity described Himself as: “I am the great indestructible lyre of the whole world, attuning the songs to the Heavens.”

The Seven Vowels of the Greek Alphabet & their Planetary Correspondence:
A (alpha, a) = 1st heaven
E (epsilon, short e) = 2nd heaven
H (eta, long e) = 3rd heaven
I (iota, i) = 4th heaven
O (omicron, short o) = 5th heaven
Y (upsilon, u) = 6th heaven
Ω (omega, long o) = 7th Heaven
A (alpha, a) = 1st heaven
E (epsilon, short e) = 2nd heaven
H (eta, long e) = 3rd heaven
I (iota, i) = 4th heaven
O (omicron, short o) = 5th heaven
Y (upsilon, u) = 6th heaven
Ω (omega, long o) = 7th Heaven
According to this concept, between the literal ALPHA and OMEGA lies the whole gamut of the Phenomenal World and these 7 vowels represent a Perfect Circle & Harmony. It was said the Heavens constantly sang the Music of the Spheres and Pythagoras could hear this Harmony.
Who was the Master and Player of the world lyre?
Apollo, the ‘most Greek’ of all the gods of Greece. The Supreme Deity of Harmony, Order & the Arts.
Diogenes writes that “the only altar at which he (Pythagoras) worshiped was that of Apollo the Giver of Life."

“The Sun is the leader of the choir of the planets, & Apollo’s lyre a symbol of the harmony of the spheres.”
According to Pythagoras, Apollo represented the higher principle setting the orderly framework of the universe, “an impersonal principle of higher reality".

In many Renaissance depictions of the world is shown as a system organized according to harmonious laws of Music, Apollo presides above the so-called “world monochord,” stretching the cord of the whole creation & creating the Harmony of the Spheres.
Even Ancient Architecture & Music was intimately related. As Goethe said “Music is Liquid Architecture; Architecture is Frozen Music.”
If you listen closely enough, you will still hear the Music of the Spheres.

@TruthIsComeN Hence the missing 23rd Letter...
22 is the Master Builder Number for a Reason. Those 22 Letters vibrated the Universe into existence. 22 Cards in the Major Arcana, 22 Paths or Creative Forces on the Tree of Life. 23 path is not usually shown as it is the return to Source.
