Knowing Unity in Music


 
Once the lis­tener has gone through the mu­si­cal se­quence-spaces in his so­cial ex­peri­ence of many converging in­di­vid­ual paths of cog­ni­tion, and once he has reached the gate to the har­mony, then be­hind all the in­di­vid­ual life-paths he be­holds the unity which or­gan­izes them and pow­er­fully keeps them to­gether in the har­mony.
And he wit­nesses the per­fec­tion with which this lively unity of mu­sic un­tir­ingly sup­ports the free in­di­vid­ual un­fold­ment of the mo­tifs.

 
The Listener at the Gate to the Harmony
Here, the fires of cog­ni­tion of the se­quence gather to­gether in the su­preme mu­si­cal sacrificial fire which is per­formed in the har­mony, at the basis of all mu­sic.
In this ab­so­lu­te world of mu­sic – be­yond space and time – the in­nu­mer­able cog­ni­tive fires of mu­sic form the many shin­ing, licking tongues of a sin­gle great sacrificial fire of mu­sic burn­ing with the high­est and purest radi­ance known in mu­sic.

 
The Supreme Sacrificial Fire in Music
All the flames per­vade each other with a golden shine, like a sin­gle flame flickering in it­self with in­fi­nitely many tongues, and convey the com­plete pic­ture of the mu­si­cal truth to the keen un­der­stand­ing of the mu­sic lis­tener.

 
And as the warm­ing, flow­ing glows of this su­preme mu­si­cal sac­ri­fice merge into each other in an in­fi­nite flow, they sway in bliss­ful dance from unity again and again back to unity and mi­racu­lously warm the full­ness of feel­ing in a mani­fold man­ner.

 
How­ever, the com­plete mu­si­cal ex­peri­ence in this per­fect mu­si­cal world of magic is permeated in the har­mony with the al­mighty and all-crea­tive pow­ers of a new, unlim­ited world be­yond space and time, which the mu­sic lover now very spon­ta­ne­ously lo­cal­izes within him­self.

 
Cognitive Fires in the Musical Harmony-Space
Fi­nally, as he en­ters the in­fi­nite space of the har­mony be­yond space and time, the lis­tener sees many eter­nal, ful­filled life-paths in­fi­nitely flow­ing to­gether and into each other – he sees and knows the na­ture of the har­mony and, through this, makes the ex­peri­ence of pure self-knowl­edge.

 
The Listener beyond Space and Time
Hav­ing reached the field of pure self-knowl­edge, the mu­sic lis­tener be­comes a mu­sic crea­tor, for the func­tion of pure selfknowl­edge be­gins im­me­di­ately to stir his in­di­vid­ual crea­tive forces with the thrust of in­fin­ity.
From within the new crea­tor of mu­sic now the se­quences, the mo­tifs, and the sounds issue forth in col­our­ful se­quence and enli­ven his new realm of mu­sic.

 
Musical Creative Power as a Function of Pure Self-Knowledge
This ab­so­lu­te mu­sic-world of the har­mony is held to­gether and or­gan­ized through the un­earthly breath of life, through that cos­mic breath which breathes through all true mu­sic like a pri­mor­dial wind, and which sus­tains it from within as the soul of mu­sic.
And the mu­sic lover knows this breath of life to be his own, in­ner breath.
