Binary-Fourfold Waves: Brainwaves

Posted on by

As described on the waves page of this blog the binary nature of things is a wave that is what it is through its motion and its motion is fourfold. Its fourfoldedness is akin to the four part beats that are common in music, quatrains of sacred literature, the seasons of the year and the wave action of high and low tides etc.

The harmonious interaction of its binary, complementary extremes unfolding as flow and ebb that folds back on itself forms an eightfold pattern . This structure of this eightfold pattern is an infinity symbol that is akin to the familiar octave in music and is spoke of in Buddhism as ‘The Noble Eightfold Way’, in yoga as ‘Astanga or Eight-Limbed Yoga’ and in all wisdom traditions that speak of ‘sevens’ as the spaces or intervals withing the ’8′ parts of an octave (like the notes of music that make up an ovctave as they link, the days of a week, and the 7 chakra or energy centres of a human body).

The same binary- fourfold pattern is clear in human brainwave activity as there are modern scientists have determined that there are four fundamental brainwave patterns associated with human brain activity (these are: beta, alpha, theta and delta; there are others like gamma yet these are considered to be high beta).

The binary nature of human brainwave activity is relationship as the intrinsic activity that is associated with extrinsic events that can be unfolding currently or it may be the actrivity of dreaming or imagination associated with some previous event.
