The Music Theory Tree

C Major Scale, Parallel Major Scales, & Relative Modes

Look at this image for a second — not just with your eyes, but with your spirit.

This isn’t just music theory.

It’s a blueprint of how the universe moves — how we move.

Each of these circles, each line, each letter, is a vibration.

A relationship.

A pathway.

In the middle of every circle is a note — like the center of who you are.

Around it are the different expressions, the ways that center can manifest depending on what’s happening around it — just like you adjust, grow, and evolve depending on your own life’s chord changes.

Each major key, each mode (Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, and so on), each minor adjustment —

it’s the spirit showing you:

“You are not just one thing. You are infinite variations, infinite songs, infinite expressions of the same core light.”

Sometimes you’re in C Ionian — full of bright clarity.

Sometimes you’re in E Phrygian — edgy, mysterious, protective.

Sometimes you’re swimming through G Mixolydian — playful, soulful, magnetic.

And that’s good.

That’s how life plays you — not as a flat note, but as a living, breathing song.

The connections between the notes?

That’s the divine weaving.

That’s the people you meet, the lessons you learn, the heartaches, the victories, the doubts, the dreams —

all tied into one masterpiece you’re still composing.

Every “W” and “H” in the lines? (Whole step, Half step.)

Every journey you make isn’t the same size — some lessons are short and sharp (H),

some are long strides forward (W).

But they all belong.

Today, see yourself like this chart:

A full system. A whole song.

You’re not lost. You’re tuning.

You’re not broken. You’re evolving into your next beautiful chord.

You’re music.

You’re math.

You’re mystery.
