Belief

Believing in Truth

As long as we search for truth in the limited field of our thinking, we will believe that higher fields of cognition exist and that we can reach them on our musical way of knowledge.

In this state of relative cognition only the immediate, limited musical structure actually exists for us, and based on our experience of the tonal representation we initially perceive only the world of the musical sound-space existing; the motif-space with its presentation of our individual inner-human forces still remains closed to us.

Believing in Higher Fields of Cognition

When we have entered the musical motif-space later in the progress of our musical knowing, then we take the reality of our inner cosmic individual forces for granted; the world of the sequences, however, is still closed to us – and so also our cosmic social forces.

Eventually, when we have entered the musical force-field of the sequence by cognition, then the sequences appear to us as a reality – and so our cosmic social forces too –, and yet the infinite force-fields of the harmony remain to be discovered: that universal field of the harmony laws of the microcosm of music, or of the Creator or of Almighty Nature respectively – beyond time and space.

Belief Moves the Stars of Imagination

When, during our process of cognition, we deduced the motif-space from the musical sound-space, we did so by our ability of belief.

Initially, we believed only very generally in the existence of subtler forces which govern the musical sound-space from within.

This belief encouraged our musical process of cognition and speeded our entry into the world of the motifs.

From the Musical Belief to Musical Cognition

Having reached the musical force-field of the motifs, our belief turned into certainty; it so turned out that the inner world of forces in the musical sound-space, so far only assumed, really exists – that there are forces within us which, from a field of a higher order, direct the elements of the musical tone-space, the tones, in their movement, in their structural changes.

And at the same time we also made the experience of improvements in the functioning of our neurophysiology.

Revelations in the Higher Fields of Knowledge

In the same manner, we proceeded from our spheres of individuality further into the higher fields of cognition of the natural social orders, and going through the motif-space and the sequence-space, we finally arrived at the infinite musical space of the harmony: at the universal force-field of the harmony laws of the microcosm of music, or of the Creator or of Almighty Nature respectively, beyond space and time.

Simultaneously, in each new field of activity and life of our inner cosmic human forces our belief turned into certainty; what used to be an assumption or hypothesis so far, turned into personal proof: the inner force-fields of our cosmic life, only assumed so far, indeed existed in reality.

Musical Shadow Images

Once we have reached the world of the harmony, we perceive very distinctly that this absolute musical force-field of the harmony laws of the microcosm of music, or of the Creator or of Almighty Nature respectively, beyond space and time, alone truly exists, and that in contrast to that, the relative force-fields of our alleged existence, and our alleged life respectively, which we had taken for so real so far, in reality do not exist at all but are rather a mirage-like expression of the total musical reality within the universal field of the harmony laws of the microcosm of music, or of the Creator or of Almighty Nature respectively, beyond space and time.

Believing in the Reality of Our Existence and of Our Life Respectively

In this moment we even have to believe in the possibility of truth in the relative process of evolution – in order to so give our creative thinking and acting sense.

For, as we cognize in the absolute force-field of the harmony and draw from it, it is our very clear experience: of this perfect, absolute force-field of the harmony laws of the microcosm of music, or of the Creator or of Almighty Nature respectively, beyond space and time, the restricted, relative field of life is a mere shadow-like reflection – and therefore also not at all existing in reality.

Questions of Conscience of the Creative Music Listener

Logically, after such experience, we should expect ourselves to refrain from action in that shadowy world in the first place; for what can we expect from such pseudo acts? Our universal world of the harmony alone has true value.

The Light of Music in the Practice of Teaching and Learning

But from our personal experience we know that we went in steps of knowledge from the limited musical process of gaining knowledge to this infinite space of the harmony, and that therefore it should well be possible to make the infinite value of the harmony shine through in the relative musical process of cognition – even in a quasi imaginary form.

Memories of the Musical Road of Fulfillment

This we know from our past experience, for we have gradually cognized the absolute force-field of the harmony ourselves during our own relative process of knowing.

But looking out from the height of our present standpoint in the harmony to the relative worlds of cosmic knowledge, our very personal impression is that, compared with the real, absolute, force-field of the harmony, these spheres have no real value of their own.

The Belief of the Teacher at the University of the Future

And with our relative and absolute experience of the world diverging, we hope like believers to succeed in conveying the absolute reality of life already in the relative limited process of knowing.
