The title “Musical Frequencies of the Hebrew Letters” suggests that the Hebrew letters have significant meaning. Although this topic appears more musically related, there’s very much a spiritual connection. In this article, we explore my spiritual journey into the wonderful world of the Hebrew letters and musical frequencies. 

Understanding how the universe works is part of how God designed us. How can we co-create with Him if we don't understand how it's done? Just like a father teachers a child how to live life, so does our Father in heaven. We start as immature Christians and through a process of trials, triumphs, and general living of life, we mature and are given more to digest and assimilate into our being.

We start "Kingdom School" the moment we choose to follow Christ. I write about this process in two of my books, one of which is a workbook. It was during my kingdom school (probably early college level) when I started receiving downloads about the musical frequencies of the Hebrew letters. I'd looked at it for quite some time before that. However, I wasn't mature enough to understand it in the beginning stages, just like a first graders can't read Shakespheare because they don't have enough information yet to do that. 

• Maturing as a Mystic (book)
• Maturing as a Mystic (workbook)
• The book I wrote with information about the musical frequencies of the Hebrew letters: Healing in the Hebrew Months: Exploring Hebrew Letters, Gematria, and their Musical Frequencies.

We'll start with a chart of the Hebrew letters and their "gematria" which is a fancy name for a numbering system, also called "numerology." Numerology is basically the study of numbers. This chart only includes the letters up through 400. Some forms of gematria use the "final forms" of five letters and give them their own gematria which brings the  numbering up to 900. That is the type of gematrial I found worked for the musical frequencies of the Hebrew letters. 

My Process

For a period of nearly six years, I worked on finding a connection between the Hebrew letters and music. It started out as an accident… sort of. My musical curiosity got the best of me when someone said one day, “You should see if you can find the musical frequencies of the Hebrew letters.” Challenge accepted! My close friends encouraged me to keep going when it felt like I was constantly hitting brick walls. Somewhere towards the beginning, I learned the “come up here principle” to ask questions (fancy words for ascension from within the heart). You’ll read about that all over this website. What makes this situation unique is the span of time that I gathered information.

The project grew and morphed based on what I watched and heard during my "come up here" times. One of my first clues came from an experience in the Holy of Holies. I watched the priest sing the names of God where frequencies arced between the breastplate, the mercy seat, and the cherubim. As the priest sang, the frequencies did a variety of dance-like movements. At the time, this didn’t make much sense to me. Later, I researched the breastplate, gathering all the information I could about the topic. Eventually, I put together a chart that listed musical frequencies, Hebrew letters, and the names of the tribes. Although that research is still resting, it propelled me into the next step of finding the musical frequencies of the Hebrew letters.

What I love about becoming a true “son” of God (“son” referring to mankind in general), is the free access to the kingdom realms. I honestly believe that without watching the Father “do” followed by having conversations about various topics, I’d still be looking for answers. I also realized that we need to see and experience before we do. It’s so easy to be overly eager when we learn something new. I expected quick answers and was disappointed (at first) when I was met with more questions during some of my conversations with Papa (He loves it when I call Him this) and Jesus.

I’ve created a produce on the results of my research on the Healing Frequencies Music website where people can purchase my research materials and hear examples of how to create their own music with these frequencies. CLICK HERE to read my original article about the musical frequencies of the Hebrew letters on the Healing Frequencies Music website. The details for the technical bits are there and more are in the actual product. In this article, we take a look at the spiritual side of how this came about and the lessons that go along with that. You might want to check out the nitty gritty details on Healing Frequencies Music so what I say here makes more sense.

My general mode of operation is to “get ‘er done!” You give me a task and I’m Johnny on the spot. There’s usually not much messing around. What did I learn? At times, things need to sit and simmer until more revelation comes. If we get things delivered too early, that revelation can easily slip by unnoticed and unappreciated.

What’s interesting about the last year of the project is that I had the answer sitting right before me waving at me saying, “Hello!! Can you see this?” Why didn’t I see it? When revelation comes that we don’t have the capacity to understand at the time, it doesn’t help. Yes, I had all but the last piece of the puzzle assembled for nearly a year before I knew what to do with it! Again, this was a teaching tool in patience for me. AND... I had to let go of an EXPECTATION it was going to look a certain way. As long as that expectation lingered, I couldn't see the right answer. Eventually, I let it sit while I began other projects. Every once in a while, I’d come back to see if I had enough to plunk in that final puzzle piece. I learned to rest with the understanding that when it was time, I’d have the answers. That’s growth for me! I can only imagine my actions and frustrations with this waiting time two years earlier.

I always ask myself the question “What can you learn from the situations in your life right now?” Even in conversations with Papa and Jesus, we talked about my project. I’d get answers like, “You’ll know when it’s time. There are other things you must learn first.” For someone who likes to push through and get it done, I didn’t want to hear that! Now that I look back on it, I see how the learning progression put everything into perfect timing. Nearly a year later, I sat staring at an almost complete chart of what I thought were the frequencies of the Hebrew letters. Here’s the clincher… I knew the information that I needed to complete the project. However, it didn’t click because of my expectation of what it should look like. I needed to go back into my memory banks and remind myself of various experiences. When we do things out of habit or are advanced in a field enough that we do everything on autopilot, we often forget about the process it took to arrive in that place. This is why some awesome musicians are horrible teachers. When things come easy for us, we often don’t understand the beginning-to-end process.

Eventually, stuff started to click. Yes, there were conversations but honestly, I enjoyed being in the presence of Papa enough that I didn’t mind waiting for answers. Sometimes, asking questions about such projects wasn’t on the forefront of my mind. When we get into the kingdom realms and engage with the Trinity, it’s easy (and probably good) to forget about what we need. I learned to focus on the relationship first. Through relationship building, other things fell into place.

One night, after several days of sitting with Papa watching and listening to the sounds around us, I thought to myself, “I wonder if there’s a connection with what I’m seeing, the Hebrew letters, and the harmonic series?” This question simply flitted through my brain. That’s when the final puzzle piece opened up for me.

Responding to my thoughts, Papa said, “As you know, there are other frequencies that come out of the fundamental. When you find the base, it’s easy to find the best harmony that fits within that note. Yes, it’s uniquely that one specific note. But, the properties – the higher properties will still follow the same rule for the law of harmonics.”

Bingo! That’s all I needed. That might not make sense to you but remember, I’d worked on this project for years. One puzzle piece that had to do with harmonics continued to allude me. I had the chart already laid out but didn’t know what to do with it. These three sentences sealed the deal. It was a casual conversation in a place of intimacy with Papa that the answer came. At that moment, it was like the answer exploded inside me. My spirit was doing little dances everywhere. I couldn’t thank YHVH enough. His smile at watching my excitement made it even better.

If you want to understand the mysteries of God, focus on intimacy first. Build relationship and everything will come naturally!

Throughout that day, puzzle pieces began to flood through my mind. I sat down and wrote it all out, connecting even more dots along the way. In the the audio that goes along with the teaching, more clicked as I talked. I’m sure that will continue on for quite some time. What I hadn’t taken into consideration until the very end was my formal training as a musician. When you speak from experience, what you say carries more weight. We often forget that every life experience (including the traumas) can be used as teaching and learning devices. Our experiences are someone else’s teacher.

I’d like to take a moment to encourage you. There are probably things on your heart that would be nice to have answers for. These could be life situations, projects you’re working on, needed direction, etc. Take some time and step into God’s presence. Engage with Him. Engage with Jesus and Holy Spirit. Imagine yourself in a beautiful place where you’re sitting in Their presence - in the garden of your hear (or somewhere else in your inner temple). Enjoy that time and begin to see yourself resonate with what’s coming from within Them. In an attitude of worship (an attitude of thanksgiving and gratitude), allow yourself to just be. Imagine handing over any cares that you have and in turn, you’re handed peace, love, joy, or whatever else you need. Take it into your being and receive it by faith, even if you can’t see, hear, sense, or feel anything. If you find it hard to settle down, you can do what I do. I usually put on music and begin singing (or praying) in my prayer language. I also sing the name of God and imagine stepping into the center of His name and staying there so that my focus is on functioning “in Him.” I do this until I feel peace. Warning! This generally takes more than a few minutes.

In closing, I had struggles in and through this research. I had to learn to deal with my issues and at the same time, trust in God’s plan and timing. Right now, I’m rejoicing in Him for the received revelation. You, too, have the opportunity to step in and receive.

How Does This Fit with NW Ekklesia?

Depending on giftings, personality, and mandate, each person is given assignments that work for them. No two people are alike and will have differing mandates and scrolls even if they're doing something very similar. In this case, my musical training and academic work has opened doors for me to do things that other musicians might not want to do, nor are called to do. That doesn't make any one person's mandate is better than another. In NW Ekklesia, there are many creatives musicians with varying levels of experience and individual callings. You'll see us all work together through worship, recordings (The Mystic Frequency Collaborative) because we honor and respect what each brings to the table.

For me personally, I've been given a glimpse into how the world functions through the lense of music theory. I believe you can explain the entire creation of the universe through music theory. Even Nikola Tesla said that "if you want to understand the universe, think of energy, frequency, and vibration." How does this fit with the musical frequencies of the Hebrew letters? Glad you thought of the question! 

Ancient Hebrew culture says the Hebrew letters were part of creation. Whether that's true or not is yet to be determined. However, when I discovered that the musical harmonic series is present in the numerical system (gematria) for the Hebrew letters, I had to realize there may some truth to this ancient belief. The Hebrew culture also says that there are seven divine names of God. So, what did I do? I created albums and songs with those divine names. This music is great "activation" music for meditations, going to your heart garden, worship, entraining with the very essence of who God is, etc. All of the albums listed below utilize the main name of God - Yahweh with the letters Yod, Heh, Vav, Heh. The seven divine names are:

1. Elohim
2. Yahweh
3. Adonai
4. El Elyon
5. El Shaddai
6. Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh
7. Yahweh Tzevaoth

If you're interested specifically in music where the names of God are used, check out the the list below. Sometimes the names are played on instruments and other times, they're sung. When you hear the clarinet and Native American flute, those songs are playing the names - mostly Yahweh and Yeshua. 

• Yahweh in the Elements (album  with 5 songs)
• Spirit, Soul, Body (album with 3 songs with the name of Yahweh)
• Holy Names (worship album with 3 songs featuring Yahweh and Yeshua)
• The Names (single)
• Divine Incarnation (single)
• Celebration in Shalom (single) 
• Peace in Good News (single)
• Age of Restoration (single)

Enjoy!
