The Secrets of the Universe: Energy, Vibration, and Sound

"If you wish to understand the secrets of the universe, you must think in terms of energy, vibration, and frequency." – Nikola Tesla

We can interpret Tesla’s words not only scientifically but also as an existential call. To comprehend the universe, we must open not only our eyes and ears but also our own frequencies. For the language of the universe is not matter, but vibration.

In fact, this statement elucidates not only the deep mechanisms of galaxies, atoms, or light, but also those of human life. The most fundamental truth accepted in modern physics is this: every point in the universe contains energy.

Einstein’s famous equation E = mc² expresses that matter is in fact a concentrated form of energy. This means that beneath everything—from a stone to the stars, from a leaf to thoughts, from our bodies to words—lies energy. This energy is in a constant state of transformation. Even seemingly solid objects are in continuous vibration at the atomic level.

In other words, nothing in the universe is truly static. This is not merely a physical reality but also gives rise to a philosophical perspective: nothing in life is fixed; everything is in a state of flow and change. In physics, this is explained by the law of conservation of energy. In spirituality, it is encoded in human creation as the imperative to “move and seek.” This condition is referenced in the Qur’an in Surah Inshirah, verse 7:^【1】

"So when you have finished [one task], strive for another." (7, Inshirah)

This verse is not merely a religious admonition but also a representation of the universe’s law of vibration. A person, after persisting in and completing one endeavor, must turn toward a new goal to sustain movement—that is, their existential frequency. For stillness, whether physical, spiritual, or mental, contradicts nature. Even universal laws are based on perpetual motion.

Every movement creates a vibration, every vibration carries an intention, and every intention shapes destiny.

If there is energy, there is motion. If there is motion, there is vibration.

Every atom, every molecule, even every cell vibrates at a specific frequency. These vibrations affect physical structures, interactions, and living organisms. For example, heart cells operate in rhythm, while brain waves are electromagnetic vibrations that determine states of consciousness.

Nature listens to these vibrations. Bees recognize the frequencies of flowers. Crystals emit electromagnetic effects by vibrating at specific frequencies. The human body is both receiver and transmitter of these vibrations. Vibrations serve as a bridge between the individual and the universe.

The measurable form of vibration is frequency. Frequency is the number of vibrations per second, and everything has a frequency. At this point, frequency becomes the language of the universe.

Even our thoughts and emotions have a frequency. Emotions such as love, gratitude, peace, joy, and compassion create balance and harmony within the body. They regulate heart rhythm and have a calming effect on the nervous system. They synchronize brain and heart frequencies, expand our electromagnetic field, and promote coherence. For this reason, these emotions are called “high-frequency.” They are orderly in terms of vibration and more readily resonate with others.

Thoughts such as fear, anger, jealousy, and anxiety trigger stress responses in the body. They increase stress hormones like cortisol, disrupt heart rhythm, create disharmony between brain and heart, narrow the electromagnetic field, and disturb vibration. These emotions are termed “low-frequency.” This is not only because they feel negative, but because they produce physiologically disordered, scattered, and low-vibration electromagnetic responses.

The frequencies of emotions directly affect both a person’s mental state and physical health. These frequencies also determine the energy of the environment, resonance with others, and the effectiveness of prayers and intentions. In other words, the longer you remain in a particular emotion, the more you vibrate at its frequency. That frequency influences the events you attract, the people who affect you, and even your health.

In Masaru Emoto’s water experiments,^【2】 he demonstrated that positive or negative words, music, and emotions alter the structure of water crystals. Indirectly, since the human body is composed of approximately 70 percent water, we can infer that our frequency-level interactions with the environment go far beyond mere thought.

In other words, every word spoken from our mouth is a sound wave. Sound waves create vibrations in the air, but their effects are not limited to the ear. As Emoto’s experiment shows, this is vibrational communication. For instance, saying “I cannot do it” is not merely a thought—it is an emission of energy. Neurons record this frequency. The brain then seeks data that support this low-frequency pattern. Words shape thoughts, thoughts shape behavior, and behavior shapes destiny. This cycle is called “self-fulfilling prophecy” in psychology and “resonance alignment” in physics.

If everything is energy and every energy vibrates at a specific frequency, then who are we? At what frequency do we vibrate? Which emotions, thoughts, or environments raise or lower our frequency?

Today’s human, caught in the midst of the information age, has forgotten to ask fundamental questions while being overwhelmed by technology, the times, civilization, and progress. Yet seemingly small choices—what music we listen to, what thoughts we repeat, who we spend time with, and how much contact we have with nature—shape our vibrational field.

Perhaps the secret Tesla intended lies precisely here: to understand the universe, observation alone is not enough; we must vibrate at the same frequency as it. Energy, vibration, frequency—this triad opens the door to greater awareness. In Sufism, this is expressed as “Cleanse your heart, and your state will change.”

To understand the secrets of the universe, we must first listen to ourselves. For we too are a part of the universe, a frequency, a wave, a vibration.

And perhaps the truest secret is that silent vibration within us—the one we have forgotten to listen to, even as it beats within us.
