It naturally follows that many have associated visual harmonic division and proportion with music and sound, music in particular being something of an aural geometry. Kepler tried to associate the polyhedra with the relative orbits of the planets known at that time (planet Earth was related to the Dodecahedron), and in turn to correlate these to rather sweeping musical frequencies, the sound of which create a harmony, into which we are born, always hearing, indeed a part of it. Likewise, many have believed that the soul or spirit essence of the material body exuded a harmony, much like the notion of a visual aura, and this harmony resulted from the harmonic vibrations of energy patterns, holding the molecules of the material in place to manifest in the form of structure. Quantum Physics and many Eastern mystical religions hold apparently similar views about the existence of energy fields which harness molecules (matter) by vibrating them, bestowing manifest shape, all sharing one common source. To observe things in this way can inspire reverence for all of reality, as the totality of the Universe may appear to be a collection of dormant molecules, woven together like a vast matrix, shaken and vibrated by energy fields which give them cohesion and consistency, namely mass, a medium for energy to travel by, like a wave upon the ocean, illuminated in time-space by light. The unity of all things becomes revealed.
