The study and training of universal rhythmic consciousness has deep historical roots. In truth, URC existed long before humans appeared on this planet. It appears to be a structuring force behind all natural phenomena within the known universe, with planet orbits aligning in rhythmic ratio's to biological morphogenesis being guided by rhythmic structuring. . Traditional cultures embraced 'Primal Rhythmic Movements' to expand awareness, connect with the intangible, and strengthen communal bonds. Without any cross pollination traditional cultures from around the world agreed on what an offbeat, double time off beat and triple time off beat was, how is this possible without a Universal Rhythm Consciousness.

Over time, Western culture lost touch with the true power of this rhythmic intelligence, largely due to religious restrictions in the early days of Christianity. However, many voices have since worked to restore this connection, bringing wisdom and healing back to the West. Below is a list of these influential individuals and resources.

LITERATURE RELATED TO URC

Water Sound Images – The Creative Music of the Universe (Cymatics) Alexander Lauterwasser

https://www.amazon.com/Water-Sound-Images-Creative-Universe/dp/1888138092

Specific related themes found in the Book:

universal laws, primordial, primal forces, structure formation as the result of one base matrix, archetypal structuring / patterns / rhythms, shifted forms, synchronization is manifestation as a process of chaos and order, primordial elemental structuring through synchronisation of wave phenomena, vibration as a rhythmically structuring force / rhythm as vibrational field / wave energy, rhythm as oscillation of polarities, pulse /interval, density and empty space, contraction and expansion, systole and diastole, something /nothing, stillness and movement. Density = pulse = stability - The void = immaterial = essence. Simultaneity is the principle of life, something new emerging from the integration/harmonisation of polarities, stillness and movement, permanence and change, rigidity and flexibility. Rhythm is repetition in time, past and future alternating, permanent communication between things past and things yet to be!
