The Philosophers Talk Music

 

Einstein sensed the secrets of the universe in music', "If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician"

 

 "He used music to clear his mind while it was twisted up with all these tortuous concepts," Liebeck suggests. Einstein would leave his desk, play his violin or piano for a short time, then return to the study in a more relaxed frame of mind: "It would help him to stand back a little from the problem and crystallise his thinking."

 

 "Playing music opens neural pathways that otherwise might not open," says Liebeck . "It makes cross-references between different areas of the brain that might not connect so readily without it.

 

Music of the Heavens Turns Out to Sound a Lot Like a B Flat

 William Shakespeare once wrote, “If music be the food for love, play on”. Well, I say if music be the food for new neural pathways and increased intellectual abilities, by all means, play on.


The music composed by Mozart has a 60 beat per minute pattern that is repeated throughout his pieces. This pattern activates the action potentials in the right and left hemispheres of the brain and it strengthens the connections between the neurons that connect the two halves. Strengthening of the neural connections leads to more efficient information processing because the brain must concentrate on comprehending multiple stimuli and it therefore becomes capable of multitasking. The ductility of an infant’s brain must be utilized to its fullest potential, because unused nerves are rendered useless.
Even thousands of years ago, philosophers like Plato, Aristotle, and Socrates understood the tremendous influence music has on its listeners.


The Bible makes reference to music throughout it's many pages, few understand that the bibles mentioning music has to do with meditation.

Over 2300 years ago, Aristotle spoke about music and its ability to communicate the emotional states of humans:


"Music directly imitates the passions or states of the soul...when one listens to music that imitates a certain passion, he becomes imbued withthe same passion; and if over a long time he habitually listens to music that rouses ignoble passions, his whole character will be shaped to an ignoble form."


Aristotle recognized that music communicates emotion, and that immoral music can shape our character for the worse. Plato also observed the effect that music had on society in his day and made this thought-provoking statement:


"Any musical innovation is full of danger to the whole state, and ought to be prohibited. When modes of music change, the fundamental laws of the state always change with them."


Plato also spoke about the contribution music made to the moral decline of ancient Greece:


"They were men of genius, but they had no perception of what was just and lawful in music...And by composing licentious works, and adding to them words as licentious, they have inspired the multitude with lawlessness and boldness, and made them fancy that they could judge for themselves about melody and song...in music there first arose the universal conceit of omniscience and general lawlessness; freedom came following afterwards, and men, fancying that they knew what they did not know, had no longer any fear, and the absence of fear begets shamelessness. For what is this shamelessness, which is so evil a thing, but the insolent refusal to regard the opinion of the better by reason of an over-daring sort of liberty?"

The Kingdom Of Light





Socrates also extensively studied effects of music, recognizing its potential as an instrument of indoctrination and character development:


"Musical training is a more potent instrument than any other, because rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul, on which they mightily fasten, imparting grace, and making the soul of him who is rightly educated graceful, or of him who is ill-educated ungraceful."


 “Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, gaiety and life to everything; It is the essence of order and lends to all that is good, just, and beautiful.”

- Plato

"Music directly imitates the passions or states of the soul...when one listens to music that imitates a certain passion, he becomes imbued with the same passion; and if over a long time he habitually listens to music that rouses ignoble passions, his whole character will be shaped to an ignoble form."

- Aristotle





Early Christian philosopher Boethuis said this:

"Music is part of us, and either ennobles or degrades our behavior."


Sixth-century Chinese philosopher Shu Ching agrees with Boethuis, saying, “for changing people’s manners and altering their customs there is nothing better than music.”


It is plain to see that these philosophers understood the immense power of music. But it is sad that most people today don't know about these observations made so long ago. It is crucial that we teach our youth about the power of music—especially as it is such a big part of their lives.


If these philosophers are correct, then our music is contributing to many of today's issues in our society. 


If music can shape our characters and passions—and therefore our morals and values—then these effects will also be noticeable in our relationships, our laws and government, and in our psychological challenges such as depression and anger.


Music, video games, and television all have a profound effect and will continue to shape society.
It is imperative that we wake up to some of the influences that are affecting our society for the worse, and take control of our own personal choices. The effect of music and media on the public is not a secret to music makers and those in the entertainment industry. They have spoken about it themselves. It is our own ignorance that permits us to be controlled by the media.


If we expect our society to improve, we must start putting controls on ourselves and on our youth and even on the entertainment industry, if possible, to limit its effect. Otherwise, problems of aggression, depression, suicide, and addiction will continue to overtake our world.


In this context, the Bible's offer of a better life to those who obey looks better and better. Freedom without controls is not freedom at all. It is anarchy and chaos, and leads to pain and death. Attention to the principles of good living, self-control, and submission to God lead to life and happiness.




















In the latter half, filmmaker and mystic ecologist David Sereda discussed his recent experiments with how human brainwaves correspond to frequencies of the nine planets in our solar system. Essentially, the planets are the power transmitters of these frequencies, and our DNA coils are the receivers, he explained. Sereda said he's developed a tuning technology that enables him to experience quantum communication with the other planets, and star systems such as the Pleiades. This technology has also been able to heal people, and facilitate astral projection, he added.


Sereda described some of his communications with the Jupiter frequency, in which he encountered 8 ft. tall beings who had lightning bolts flashing between their chests. Calculating the electromagnetic frequencies of the Great Pyramid of Egypt, he determined that it was a giant crystal oscillator, which could be used to function like a stargate.

Light and SOUND



OM MANTRA MEANINGS

The Sound of Creation
Consciousness
The Vibration of God
The Truth of Existence
The "Hum" of the Universe
The Path to Liberation


OM


AUM


AUM SILENCE


 “The syllable OM, which is the imperishable Brahman, is the universe.   Whatsoever has existed, whatsoever exists, and whatsoever shall exist hereafter, is OM.  And whatsoever transcends past, present, and future, that also is OM.”


Brahman here means the divine or ONE presence .. however you like to think about that.       Om represents this higher connection and links us in to the state of ONENESS.



The sound of the universe



The vibration produced by chanting Om in the physical universe corresponds to the original vibration that first arose at the time of creation. The sound of Om is also called Pranava, meaning that it sustains life and runs through Prana or breath. Om also represents the four states of the Supreme Being. The three sounds in Om (AUM) represent the waking, dream and deep sleep states and the silence which surrounds Om represents the "Turiya" state.

 Mantras


Everyone is now familiar with the stereotypical image of a yogi sitting cross-legged chanting the sound, “OM”.  But what is the real significance of “OM”?
OM is the primordial sound of the universe, the first sound, the sound that was made at the Big Bang, the beginning of our universe, and it resonates within our being. OM has the power to take us into meditation, to make us one with the universe, to take us into the the silence and the peace that is the vastness and the power of the universe, like the stillness of a bottomless lake that has no ripples.
The sound, OM, was made when matter first started to divide and differentiate and to recombine. OM is actually made up of three separate sounds, A-U-M, that together make the sound, OM. The first is “A” which sounds like “ar” as in “car”. The second is “U” which sounds like “oo” as in “book”. The third is “M” which sounds like “m” as in “man”. These sounds can help to keep us in balance.  How?

Human beings have within them a subtle body which consists of three channels and seven chakras.  The three channels are connected to our emotions on the left, our physical and mental activity on the right and our integration and balance in the centre. If we are over-emotional we are operating too much on the left side, and if we are thinking and planning too much or are over-active physically then we are using our right side too much. These situations cause the imbalances which lead to physical and mental health problems.
The central channel is generally activated only when we achieve our Self-realisation.  This happens when the residual life force (called the Kundalini) which resides in the sacrum bone in every human being rises up through the spine, through the limbic area in the brain and out the top of the head at the fontanelle bone area. It then connects us with the All-pervading Power of the universe, the force that created us, the force that keeps the planets in their orbits and makes the seeds sprout in the Mother Earth.
Once we have our Self-realisation we can go into “thoughtless awareness”, the state of true meditation in which we are awake and alert but we are not thinking. In thoughtless awareness the Kundalini flows through us, balancing our subtle systems and clearing our chakras, giving us good health and feelings of well-being. As we continue to meditate and to strengthen this connection, the Kundalini flows more strongly and we are able to enjoy the silence, the space between the thoughts, to be the pure consciousness, to feel one with the whole of creation.
After our Self-realisation, when we have that connection to the force that created us, the sounds of the OM (AUM) can help to clear and balance our channels.  If we use as a mantra the sound, A (“ar” as in “car”), it will help to clear the left channel, the sound, U (“oo” as in “book”), will help to clear the right channel and the sound, M (“m” as in “man”) ,will work on the central channel. As a result, the whole system will come into balance.
The sound, OM, also has the power to clear each of the chakras when sung at the pitch which resonates with the particular chakra, and it can raise the Kundalini when sung up the musical scale.
So, sit comfortably, on the floor or on a chair, hands palm upwards on your lap.  Take a few deep breaths, and relax.  Now sing, “Aaaaoooommm,” and let the sound take you into meditation, into the stillness and the silence and the peace that is the vastness of the universe where you are at one with the whole of creation and are nothing but pure consciousness.

"Music's the only thing that makes sense anymore, play it loud enough it'll keep the demons at bay" Across The Universe

The President is a Liar, the Congress is a Liar, the whole of this world is a LIE, the only place you can find truth is in MUSIC and MEDITATION is a Darkened Room. That's how we escape the matrix.
