Pulse

Pulse, rhythmic expansion of the arteries caused by successive surges of blood produced by contractions of the heart. Each contraction of the heart forces blood into the already filled arteries, and the enlargement passes along the arterial system until it reaches the capillaries. The pulse may be felt wherever an artery passes over a solid structure, such as a bone or cartilage, and it is commonly taken at the wrist. The pulse rate varies from 150 beats per minute in an embryo to about 60 in the aged. Changes in pulse rate, rhythm, and strength alert the specialist to existing or impending disease.

Pulse and Meter

Like the rhythms in nature, musical rhythm usually is organized in regularly recurring patterns. Such patterns regulate the motion of the music and aid the human ear in grasping its structure. The most basic rhythmic unit is the beat, or pulse- a recurring internal linktime pattern that resembles the ticking of a clock. In most popular and internal linkdance music, the beat is explicitly stated, often by internal linkdrumbeats or by a regular accompaniment pattern. The tempo of the music determines the speed of the beat. In a fast tempo, the beat has a relatively short time value; in a slow tempo, the value of the beat is longer.

Just as a beat regulates the duration of a note or pair of notes, beats themselves are regulated by larger recurring units called measures. Measures are formed by stressing the first in a series of beats, so that the beats group themselves into a pattern. The term meter can refer to this general internal linkprocess of regular accentuation or to the particular metrical grouping used in a given piece. In musical notation, meter is indicated by the time signature.

Metrically organized music is highly structured and tends to be regular. Once the meter is established, however, it need not be rigidly adhered to at all times; the listener's mind will retain the pattern even if the music temporarily contradicts it. Thus, a normally weak beat can be stressed, producing a syncopation (accent that works against the prevailing meter).

Books

A book is a part of life, a manifestation of life, just as much as a tree or a horse or a star. It obeys its own rhythms, its own laws, whether it be a novel, a play, or a diary. The deep, hidden rhythm of life is always there- that of the pulse, the heart beat.
Henry Miller (1891-1980), U.S. author. The Cosmological Eye, "Un Etre Etoile" (1939).

The Universe

Anyone informed that the universe is expanding and contracting in pulsations of eighty billion years has a right to ask, "What's in it for me?"
Peter De Vries (1910-93), U.S. author. The narrator (Jim Tickler), in _The Glory of the internal linkHummingbird_, ch. 1 (1939).

Many modern scientists regard internal linkDNA as a shimmering internal linkwaveform configuration, able to be modified by internal linklight, radiation, magnetic fields or sonic pulses. The legacy of internal linkThoth/Enoch suggests this "internal linklanguage of light" the internal linkharmonic science of the ancients, could actually affect DNA.

Shiva internal linkNataraja

The upper right hand holds a hour-glass internal linkdrum which is a symbol of creation. It is beating the pulse of the universe. The drum also provides the music that accompanies Shiva's internal linkdance. It represents sound as the first element in an unfolding universe, for sound is the first and most pervasive of the elements. The story goes that when internal linkShiva granted the boon of wisdom to the ignorant Panini (the great internal linkSanskrit grammarian), the sound of the drum encapsulated the whole of Sanskrit grammar. The first verse of Panini's grammar is in fact called Shiva sutra.

Charon writes: "Inside its micro-universe, the electron encloses a space that is able, first, to store internal linkinformation, second, to make this information available again during each pulsation period of its cycle by way of a sort of 'internal linkmemory system', and third, to control complex operations by communicating and cooperating with the other electrons of the system." - internal link_The World Is Sound: Nada Brahma_ - by Joachim-Ernst Berendt
