Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Spiritual Practice, and Consciousness Music
In David Tame’s book, Beethoven and the Spiritual Path, we learn that Beethoven was not the only composer who was writing to serve God and uplift humanity. “in the words of J.S. Bach, ‘The aim and final reason of all music should be nothing else but the glory of God and the refreshment of the spirit.’ Mozart held with the Masonic belief that the purpose of art was to promote peace, brotherhood, and harmony in all who experienced it, and devoted his music to this cause. And, to quote just one such line from Beethoven, on the score of his stupendous Missa Solemnis he wrote: ‘From the heart, may it reach other hearts.’” (pp.13-14)David Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D., in Eye of the I:From Which Nothing is Hidden, writes the following: “To endeavor to evolve spiritually is the greatest gift one can give. It actually uplifts all mankind from within. . .” “All society is subliminally and subtly influenced by every kind and loving thought, word, or deed.” “The universe notes and records every action and returns it in kind.” (p.204)
Because of the infinite power of The Field of God, “Every kindness is therefore forever”. (p. 204)
If you listen to music (and if you are a living person on this planet, you do), what are you listening to? Is it uplifting? Besides just making you feel good in the moment, is it assisting you in raising your consciousness? Is it helping you to evolve spiritually?
Musicians of the world, what are you writing about? Why are you writing music? What is your intention for writing and/or performing music?
