The Lambdoma, Resonant, Harmonic Scale
(P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W)

162 pp ~ In this book, Barbara Hero describes why the differences between the resonant Lambdoma harmonic scales P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W and the tempered scales lead to new/old ways of realizing the powerful impact of the Lambdoma scale to unlock positive emotions. The sections include: The resonant Harmonic Scale; Visible Harmony; Forming Matter; Manifesting; Increasing the Quality of Our Lives by: Survival, Love and Belonging, Power, Freedom, and Fun. The conditions for quality in our lives become: Building trust and revealing ourselves and our values; Speaking and listening; Reading; Writing; Numbers; Life skills and Sharing self evaluation and how this can happen through following the laws of Lambdoma.

The Glass Bead and Knot Theory of Relationships

80 pp ~ This small book was stimulated by a reading of Hermann Hess' "Magister Ludi, the Glass Bead Game", and was compiled as a brief guide to those who wish to apply the relationships between dimension (wavelength) and the harmonic intervals (frequencies) of music. The cover illustration depicts an ordering of harmonic relationships which lead to an example of a simple construction of a Lambdoma necklace. Another application of Lambdoma theory is in weaving, and yet another is in musical time signatures related to the ratios of musical keynotes which might help musical compositions become even more harmonious. (Item AT4 side 2). Charts, showing translations of Time in seconds, minutes, hours, days years and light-years, into musical frequencies, as well as Dimensions in inches, feet, meters and miles, might help others find their own correspondence to our particular universe.

The Sub-Conscious Speaks; with Lambdomas

88 pp ~ "Contacting the Sub-Conscious, or Subjective mind, without loss of conscious identity has long been sought. This feat here has unquestionably been accomplished. The contents of the book proper belong entirely to the author's Subjective mind. Yet at no time was there a loss of conscious control and direction, nor was the author at any time in any other than a perfectly normal condition". Chapter titles include: Mind; Effect of Mental Attitudes of the Conscious Mind upon the Sub-Conscious; Fear; Health; Confidence in Self – Faith in God; Using Conscious Thought in a Definitely Creative Manner; and Success – Failure.

Music Graphs

Barbara Hero draws upon her insight and wisdom in both art and mathematics to apply visual symbolism to relate the qualities of the Pythagorean numbers 1 – 10 to her 16 Lambdoma Laws of Harmony. Each page has a visual "Music Graph" as one of the ways of interpreting the symbolism of number. "The Theology of Arithmetic" by the neo-Pythagorean Iamblichus is one of the references for this work. (Iamblichus brought forth the Lambdoma again in 200 AD). PDF Link

Eyes + Ears = Ideas

215 pp ~ Barbara originally presented this information is slide format. That is the basis of the International Lambdoma Research Institute (ILRI) link in the footer of each page of this legacy web site. We've included the PDF of this book here, so that you may view the images in a more suscinct and enlarged way. However, we encourage you to look through the presentation!

Barbara created all of the art within the book (without a computer) in the early 1970's, attempting to visualize the shapes of sounds, based upon the model of the Lambdoma grid. The tools were only compass, straight edge, pen and colored markers. Most importantly, it only took a willingness to experiment with wavelengths of sound, according to the ratios imbedded in the Lambdoma array. These ratios bear a one-to-one relationship to specific musical harmonic intervals. Any given length may be divided into one-half to one-sixteenth segments, which include a scale of eight harmonic musical intervals from P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, and W, or from A to Z of twenty-six micro tonal intervals.
