[Now] those on this plane in this time seek to develop that music that
would be as compared with the cooking or the taking into the system of food highly
seasoned with pepper. See that these affect the body, or the emotions of the soul, in the
same manner. For pepper is an irritant to the system and is taken for such purpose that
would tickle, would stimulate. So in the music, in this time, are brought those
discordances, that which would be displeasing, inharmonious and would be exciting to the system as the abrasiveness in the sexual nature.
And so those chakras, rather than developing or opening as a flower
bud, would be yanked or forced open, thus setting the flower into intense vibration, shock
or nervousness. So that found in the opening of the chakras would be distorted.
These opened in such manners, whether by drugs or by the intensity of such music as has
been so popular in this time, would find that which they think of as the God concept would
be so shattering, so nervous a concept, that [it would] distort the image or the face of
the Father or God. So then these chakras are damaged. So the ability to think or to
understand, to reason is damaged. So that all the love nature becomes distorted and
expresses the baser natures of love, not that of growth.
Now if you would understand music, understand in these manners: Music
can be used for soul development if there be used the harmonious, or can be used for the destruction of the
Soul of the Universe if used in the discordant or in destructive manners.
Now, that difference in the black and white magic, that
difference in the left hand and right hand path, that difference in good and evil, are the
manner in which those same laws are applied. There is one law. That applied for self or
for destruction becomes evil. That same law applied for the building, for harmony, becomes
good. Understand then that music is the tool. Developing and dedicating to the purposes of
the Father can lead those of this plane straight to the throne of God and can heal the
body, can attune the heart.
There is no limit to what might be accomplished in the treatment of the
mentally ill through the application of those proper harmonious tones of music applied for
the soothing, applied for the stimulating of the proper areas, the proper glands. So many
among these have chemical imbalances within the body from the disproportionate secretion
of the glands. Through the balance of music the system could be rebalanced and could be
found to function more productively, as a result of one expressing himself or attuning
himself to the instrument, and pouring that of his love, or that of the higher nature, or
that of God through the strains of music for purposes of healing.
We have been given here the higher aspects or purposes of music. What
then will you do with same? How would you develop? Would you have us give those manners,
those methods for the developing of same or would you take that which we have offered as
possibility and find, discover, develop within the self? For the talents are here.
The intelligence is given. All opportunities lie [open]. Then lift same and apply for a
purpose.
If we would give all that might be needed for the development, for the
understanding, or if we would reveal all those laws governing same, well it might be for
our spiritual growth on this plane. But what would be accomplished in your own spiritual
growth? Take that we have offered and make it the steps of a ladder that might lead to a
proper use of those tones of that sacred scale given of God for application.
