I have to add, the Yogic sytem is aware of many more chakras than 7 or 8, it just concentrates on working with 7 chakras!
And to the "chromatic" stuff:
When you Play a single string, you will not only hear the fundamental note, but a lots of harmonizes higher notes.
When you put these together, you get exactly the (original) Major scale.
In former times, it was only possible to play in one key on an instrument, all other Keys would sound seriously detuned.
For that reason, our nowadays used well-tempered ( the Term is not really correct, but everyone knows it) was invented. All notes have been detuned to a certain degree, dividing the octave into 12 equally spaced semitones, that all sound wrong to a degree, but we have now gotten used to it.
So, the diatonic 7 note Major scale does make Sense to me, since it's derived from nature exactly.
12 semitones are only possible in an artificially detuned non-natural tuning.
Thats why i dont understand the connection...
The major series of harmonics is natural although the notes we have chosen for the major scale is about tuning to the harmonics we perceive the most. The first harmonic is the same note an octave higher than the initial note and the second is the fifth. The further you go the closer the harmonics are from one another. There is in truth an infinite amount of harmonics when playing a single note. If we were to pereive them all there would be all semi tones quarter tones and further involved. It would sound detuned to us but maybe we are the ones detuned from the infinite range of frequencies. It probably has to do with the fact that in order to experience 3rd density we must choose a certain range of frequencies we can interact with so that it makes sense to us, like we can relate with a human mind. I think it is the same for chakras. We chose those we could make sense of the most in order to build a functional system. It doesn't take away from your elbow having an energetical and logical connection to your energy field but we have to figure out what it's function is in order to make use of it else it's just more confusing.
