Rendu aurique tiré de « La Valse du Danube bleu », de Johann Strauss

La musique accompagne le flux d'énergie partout dans le cosmos, même dans la cellule même de la vie. C'est véritablement le son silencieux que nous n'entendons que lorsque nous sommes en harmonie avec sa fréquence. Elle contrôle les corps inférieurs, les émotions, l'esprit, le tempérament. Selon les proportions, elle peut être apaisante, revigorante, ennoblissante, vulgarisante, philosophique ou orgiaque. Les racines des nerfs auditifs sont les plus largement réparties et ont les connexions les plus étendues dans notre corps. Il n'y a pratiquement aucune fonction du corps humain qui ne soit affectée par les sons musicaux.

Les effets de la musique

La musique est une trinité de la vie. La puissance du Père est établie par le rythme. La mélodie devient l'intelligence du Fils. Et l'harmonie, l'embellissement, devient le Saint-Esprit.

La musique est donc un pouvoir qui peut être utilisé à des fins bonnes ou mauvaises, et elle est un facteur déterminant de la civilisation et de ses tendances. Aristote a dit : « L'introduction d'un nouveau genre musical doit être évitée, car elle met en péril l'État tout entier, les styles musicaux ne pouvant être bouleversés sans affecter les institutions politiques les plus importantes. » On a dit : « Peu importe qui rédige les lois tant que celui qui contrôle est capable d'écrire la musique d'une nation. »

Les prêtres et prêtresses qui entretenaient la flamme de la Mère sur les autels de Lemuria connaissaient la science sacrée du son et du rythme. Vint alors une ère sombre de rébellion contre la lumière de la Mère, une perversion de la flamme, les prêtres et prêtresses pervertissant à la fois le son et le rythme. L'abus du son et du rythme déclencha un cataclysme provoqué par Maha Kali, la force de la Mère, d'où le souvenir ancien du naufrage du continent de la Lémurie par le feu et les éruptions volcaniques.

La science du rythme

Out of the Mother flame comes the rhythm of all rhythm. The Mother flame is located in the base chakra at the base of the spine. It is a white sphere of light sealed until we meditate upon this energy for its rising upon the spinal altar. As these petals begin to turn by the action of our meditation and the sounding of the Word, they manifest the rhythms of life: 4/4, 3/4, 6/8, 2/4, 12/8, 5/4, 7/4 and 12/4. The basis of four in all of these rhythms comes out of the Mother as fire, air, water and earth—the foundation of our pyramid of life.

In the 4/4 rhythm, we feel the release of Mother energy in a disciplined cycle, and the wheel of the chakra begins to turn. Out of the turning is produced the 3/4 time that is the beating of the heart. Three-quarter time is the rhythm of Alpha and Omega in the T’ai Chi, whirling in the center of the heart. Out of this whirling energy worlds are framed.

The 4/4 time of the four-petaled base chakra is the discipline of the march time, and upon that base, the very pyramid of life is built. If Matter does not descend according to that Matter square, that cosmic cube is going to be askew and awry and out of alignment, and it will not be a proper chalice for the Light to descend.

When the 4/4 time in a disciplined beat causes that base chakra to spin, it gently begins to turn, and that Mother Light as a crystal rises on the spinal altar. As it rises, it waters and nourishes each chakra with the negative polarity of the Divine Mother.

Rock music

With the entrance into the 1960s, the 4/4 time was corrupted with the syncopated beat of rock music. The syncopated beat is an uneven beat. It is not disciplined. It also goes counter to the heartbeat itself. So with the syncopated beat of rock music, the energy of the spine does not rise but it falls, and the life-force then descends. El Morya tells us that when large numbers of people gather for jazz or rock festivals there is enough misqualified energy released to bring about cataclysm at some point on the globe.

The healing power of music

In contrast to the downward spiraling of man’s energies that is induced through jazz and rock music, we may observe the upward spiraling and purification of his energies that take place during the playing of Strauss waltzes. The waltz, which was introduced in the courts of Europe by Saint Germain, who inspired the music of Johann Strauss, follows the rhythm of the violet fire. It has a healing, integrating effect on the four lower bodies and the soul.

Classical music that is inspired and drawn from the music of the spheres and the ascended masters’ keynotes (some of which have been popularized by composers who have tuned into the masters’ vibrations) transmits the healing, resurrecting, revivifying and transmutative powers of the Heavenly Hosts wherever and whenever it is played. These energies are delicately spiritual yet highly powerful; individuals must develop appreciation for them just as they do for classical music.

The Indian raga

The raga (Sanskrit, “color,” “tone,” “passion,” “fundamental melody”) is one of the ancient traditional melodic patterns or modes in Indian music. Ragas express specific moods and are associated with precise times of day.

Manjushri has said of this form of music:

The ancient ones knew the science of music and they used music to penetrate the atom with the mind—penetrating the atom (long before its rediscovery in the West in recent history), penetrating the atom of being, penetrating the five secret rays...

If you would know the power of music whereby the soul follows sound to the heart of being, then study this form of music, the Indian raga, which you have just heard. For it does bring you into the encounter with the cosmic teacher. It does bring you into a polarity of the plus and the minus—you, the minus, negative, feminine polarity; the teacher, the plus, positive, masculine polarity. When you are in polarity, beloved, with such music, you enter into a compartment of being that truly is the heart and the goal of meditation.
