Session 7 May 2016

[nicklebleu]

Tapes and vinyl strip frequencies, and they are also not fully accurate even in the mid range, depending on the condition of the media. How would they capture more than digital?

Also, keep in mind that there is an encoding process with analog too, it's never like the true sound is direct to tape/vinyl.

With digital, let's say 44,100 hz (samples per second), a mid range tone of 5000 hz would have 10 samples... lower the frequency, even more samples. Between the samples of the wave, yes you miss out info. The dac would just average out in between to make a smooth line. But I really doubt that a normal physical instrument would have jumps within those 2 samples anyway.

In terms of the acoustics of the room, I do find that the music of the 70s most interesting with that. When stereo became big, they manged to make the sound surround you. It felt like you were "in the song" sometimes.
Stereo these days is more tweaked around to create effects instead. Sometimes they get lazy and put a single instrument on one channel, to sound "cool". It feels imbalanced, because in a real performance, while the guitar may be on one side, it still has a sound that echoes through the room. I guess the mastering is key when it comes to the issues of digital these days.

It's like comparing old school movie special effects to computer graphics (cgi). The old school effects sometimes looked almost real, where CGI looks "too real" (I think they could make it better but they try too hard to make it perfect, which reality is not).

Indeed vinyl and tape strips out the higher frequencies, often rolling off around 13kHz. What I've found though is that they capture the interaction of the instrument with the acoustics of the room, as well as the various distortions of the signal along an analog signal path, the parts which create the content within the waveform that the interpolating digital sample points do not capture.

There is a lot more research that needs to be done in this area, but audio researchers have largely moved on from this topic. Besides, if we can even agree that more research needs to be done, that is likely enough (as it is a very mysterious topic where digital audio theorists say one thing, but many many people still inherently say they can feel a difference in analog music, even if they can't prove why). The real intention was to simply use this as a starting point to provide some insight into what the C's may have meant by that point, something which is fascinating to me - and something I have been spending the weeks contemplating.

Analog reflects the real world with all of its imperfections - the signal degradation, the seeming infinite resolution of the real world. Digital seems like it is another world entirely, the seeming perfection of smooth waveforms by simply making the rules about which points a waveform should travel between - and how this provides the gateway to beyond.

There is a particular way of combining the "best" aspects of both analog and digital waveform generation and reproduction in order to affect a kind of bridge between these two worlds. Rather than opposing them against one another "analog is better! no, digital is better!", instead, combine them in a way that takes the best aspects of each.

It is part of a great mystery of solving a long standing question that was envisioned even 100 years ago, but could not have been solved with the technology available at the time. Now we can do it.

While I suppose the transcript thread is not the best place to initiate such a discussion, the topic will be transferred over to its own thread soon when an initial introduction to the topic has been constructed. A little more preparatory thought is needed in the meantime.

It will be a kind of summary of the research I do and how it will make fairly deliberate use of the C's advice!

lunar7,

I'm very much looking forward to your new thread, as this is a topic I am interested in. Maybe you can cross-reference it here, so we don't miss it!

 

[Lycurgus]

Can't thank everyone at the chateau enough for all their efforts in bringing about this crystal project. I received my crystals a few hours ago and before I had even unwrapped them I was surprised to feel a big surge of energy. They are absolutely amazing and could not have come at a better time. I look forward to sharing my experiences with them.

 

[Richs]

I haven't received my crystals yet but think much about them.
Reading the thread, I was considering some things about C’s crystals and how to work with them. Caring for them to maintain their energy, like singing to them (In the gardem) or reciting the psalm of protection ... I guess. But would it be necessary to do more?.

I don't think anything else is needed. If it were the C's would likely have told us. Thinking the crystals have 'energy' is probably not what they 'contain'. It seems they actually contain within them the programming which was created by the C's which has been 'downloaded' into them by Laura and her helpers. This is then like installing a connection within those of us in the Crystal Network to the C's themselves, who, being also connected to all the other members of the Network allow for us all to be so connected to each other. Apparently too, the programming is specific for each individual and will not work at all for anyone but that person.

Pretty cool concept huh? Think of the possibilities.

 

[Yozilla]

Interesting dynamics here regarding crystals. i've got a job :O - today was my first day on work after years - and chance that will be a PAYED one, which is rare thing here in Croatia! I am working in my field of expertise as telecommunications technician for some company from Stockholm - so almost looks like Nordic Covenant has come to rescue ! Curious thing is that crystals seem to start to act at much before they even arrived here (just to mention that my "special"request was to find a job) since i had some kind of "feeling" that i will find a job, and nobody believed me! I even rejected one job offer - as a gardener in some resort because i was notified that my crystals were sent and i had to leave Split to island of Hvar. Another interesting coincidence was when i started collecting documents that were requested there, i realized that my ID card and driving license had expired two months ago. So that also delayed my departure from Split for a few days. Almost looks like that i'am getting a whole new identity,,, hehe ...maybe on more aspects then i can imagine

One more day of charging for the next batch of crystals and then we'll be starting the channeled selection process. I hope that no one minds that we have sort of put off sessions of conversations with Cs in exchange for the almost daily contact during the crystal selection process! When we get ready to start, I'll make a photo. Huge batch this time!

 

[Yupo]

Laura, you are a rare gem. Thank you so much for all the work you do.

 

[MaroonSky]

Amazing news! Looking so forward to receiving my crystals. I am going on vacation soon & was wondering if you send out a confirmation email before shipping out the crystals? Again thanks so much for this huge endeavour!

I've been considering other things:
Is it possible to transfer or expand this energy or vibration to other crystals we have? Sometimes I put a grid of crystals and stones in front of a photo of mine, intuitively and with the intention to maintain purpose near me ( I do’nt know if this works).
Could we thus enhance other protection stones around the house?
Does this just occur with the mere presence of C’s crystals received?
Could this happen with proximity, contact or otherwise, a conductive crystal?
Would it be appropriate to do so?
Should we avoid contact with other stones to look after our crystal?
Maybe I missed some information related to this

Hello Ariadna,

I didn't receive my crystals yet, but read from other members post, we will have instruction pamphlet.
So, we just need to follow it.
The crystals contain full potential characteristic program that will be activated by instructions.
So, we don't need to do any extra other method of work.

And I think C's crystals are absolutely unique special beings.
So, I don't like to mixed with any other crystals/rocks.
Actually I have only one crystal that size of my fist or bit bigger, but a few days ago I took out to back yard and buried in the ground next to mulberry tree, and asked the crystal to take good care of that tree.

Thus, now I am practicing song "In The Garden Of The Universe," and cleared house to receive my crystals.
I think we should avoid contact our crystals to any other stones.
But this is just my opinion,
Maybe other members have different ideas.

Thanks for your answer kay kim.
I am also practicing Laura cappella version.
I have quite a few crystals and stones, for my very pretty, and were special to me when I bought them at the time. I think I will put them in a separate room as a small collection.
Different is my obsidian, bigger than a fist. And maybe smaller tourmalines. Especially the black obsidian I think it is very absorbent. Maybe a good idea is put them in a bowl with salt until knowing exactly what to do with it.

In fact, I used to take baths with my stones, tested with my pendulum. And now my pendulum says that I don't put any, and don't feel the need to carry any in my pocket or around my neck. This is curious.

Now I'm cleaning my house thoroughly, ordering my closets, removing some things ... I'm getting ready for its arrival. :)

Thanks for your answer Richard S, very useful reminder. And also interesting to think about the possibilities that the crystals will open for us. Who knows!
I also love your quote from the C's. :)

 

[Dirgni]

Thank you so much, Laura, you are already doing a lot for us all. Another session will be when it will be - at exactly the right time OSIT. :)

 

[Learner]

I agree with Dirgni. Charging and selecting the stones is quite a lot you are doing for us already - besides all the other things on your plate. Another session will happen sometime (when it's right) - and I think, most members can wait.

 

[flashgordonv]

I received my crystals yesterday, many thanks for the quick dispatch. I am amazed to find that each crystal is of a form that I am really attracted to. These are crystals I would have bought myself if I had seen them.

Just a quick question. What exactly is the function of the Home crystal? Is this the networking crystal that connects us to FOTCM? I do not see it mentioned in the little pamphlet.

 

[Redrock12]

How wonderful to have people like you, Laura, and the rest of the chateau crew, who care enough to undertake such a daunting project, for our benefit.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Kind of figured that. I have been checking for a new session but, all in due time. Y'all have your hands full. Thanks for the update.

Very exciting! Looking forward to the photo. :)
