The Queen of Wisdom

 
In all great cul­tures of the world, and at all times, mu­sic was the queen of wis­dom and was called upon to help de­velop the di­vine pow­ers be­stowed on man. For the peo­ple of these high cul­tures mu­sic com­prised the in­fi­nite sphere of cos­mic har­mony – in­ac­ces­si­ble to the un­edu­cated ear, yet in­fi­nitely fa­mil­iar to the ini­ti­ate, to the knower of truth, to the lover of truth.

 
Meaning and Purpose of Music
By vir­tue of mu­sic, the laws of na­ture blos­somed in per­fect un­fold­ment in these highly de­vel­oped civi­li­za­tions, and those di­vine gifts in man, too, which enable him, out of his in­ner­most free­dom, to han­dle the forces of na­ture com­pletely play­fully.

 
The Freedom of Human Development
In all great ages of man­kind mu­sic was deeply linked to day-to-day prac­ti­cal life. This re­la­tion was so clearly known and ac­cepted, that mu­sic was re­garded the basis for the pres­er­va­tion of an ex­ist­ing cul­ture.

 
Music and Cultural Integrity
In any de­vel­oped civi­li­za­tion known to us, mu­si­cal-ar­tis­tic train­ing was the be­gin­ning of edu­ca­tion. The edu­ca­tional focus was on cultivating the mind, to ho­lis­ti­cally form man from the level of his in­ner­most self, and to guide his life to per­fec­tion.

 
Life in Perfection
In the course of time, man­kind lost this great in­sight into the de­vel­op­ment of whole­ness of life and thus be­came in­volved in the strug­gle of daily ex­is­tence. This cul­tural decay was tied to the de­te­rio­ra­tion of or­der in mu­sic.

 
The Power of Music
The great think­ers of man­kind even stated that the loss of the mu­si­cal or­der was the cause for cul­tural de­cline.

 
Influence of the Musical Order
A de­cline in cul­ture al­ways brings mu­sic to a level where it is en­joyed only for sen­sual pleas­ure, and from this moment mu­sic falls into ill repute.

 
The Reputation of Music
Con­se­quently mu­sic is ousted from the world of enli­vened si­lence into the field of cold noise. Or­ches­tras grow into gi­gan­tic pro­por­tions, and the mean­ing of life is shat­tered on the mu­sic-mak­ing masses.

 
The Music-Making Masses
The in­ter­pre­ta­tion be­comes more im­por­tant than the un­derly­ing mean­ing of the mu­si­cal work, and the su­perhu­man ele­ment is dragged down to the level of mun­dane pas­sions.

 
“Interpretation”
In the mu­sic in­dus­try, em­pha­sis is on the stimu­la­tion of body-re­lated feel­ings and triv­ial sen­sa­tions.

 
Music Industry
The knowl­edge of the es­sence of mu­sic is lost. It has been for­got­ten that true mu­sic re­veals hu­man, su­perhu­man, and cos­mic re­la­tion­ship, and that the tones rep­re­sent cos­mic num­bers, and can be pow­er­ful sym­bols. That mu­sic has the power to en­chant the soul of man, to­day seems a notion of the awk­ward fan­tasy of just a few mu­sic “fools.”
