MUSIC & CONSCIOUSNESS
Excerpt from the book:
SOUND—The Fabric of Soul, Consciousness, Reality, and the Cosmos
Of all technologies and modes of energy we possess, music is one of the most effective mediums for harmonizing thoughts, emotions, and soul energy into reality. As an extension of physical reality, music is an essential vibration of consciousness that precedes every human advances. Every musical period gives rise to its distinct consciousness. It is precisely this mental and emotional energy generated by music that informs and translates into social, political, cultural, economic, religious, and other manifestations of intangible reality. These energies form the very fabric of human-induced reality. We often overlook the contributions of music and focus instead on technological innovations, scientific, political, economic, social, and other mediums as measure of human society and its progress. We forget that all these expressions of human consciousness are sound. These energies pale in comparison to music.
Music: The Complete Medium of Reality
Music is the most complete and emotionally impactful medium of reality. It provides a coherent energy that harmonizes all the subtle vibrations of thought and emotion into the fabric of human reality. The emotional content of music gives rise to powerful subtle energies of the heart, reaching the soul dimension of our essence. Once music becomes part of our souls’ vibration, its energy expands into the cosmic realm. Thus, music is the doorway into the higher dimension of both human consciousness and the soul. It is the most fundamental energy for synchronizing and harmonizing the human soul into qualities of consciousness—the very energy that gives rise to new human realities.
Humanity as a whole has yet to understand the true nature of music. Music is not an entertainment medium, but a medium of entrainment—vibrational entrainment. As a harmonized set of frequencies, music is a simple and yet complex event. Once present, it unifies all within its reach and sets powerful energies in motion and on their way to physical manifestation. An extension of the cosmos, music accesses the higher dimension of our being and of the universe, where reality is formed.
Although its audible qualities may seem passive to the listener, its effects are active and extremely powerful in shaping our thoughts, emotions, languages, attitudes, mental temperaments, intellect, and ultimately our consciousness, and our souls. In essence, music is a pre-reality vibration that entrains the human consciousness and soul at every step of its evolution. We can trace every period of human progress or regress by listening to the music that feeds the consciousness of the period.
Music is literally vibrations of reality at the audible level. It propagates into the physical world as it cycles into the light spectrum. These vibrations also represent the consciousness that creates the human reality—a product of thoughts, emotions, actions, and so on. As they oscillate and multiply, they become the primal tones of the societies/communities they form. This is the power and secret of music in encoding consciousness for the formation of human reality. It is an energy medium that gives life to new societies.
There is no other medium of expression that is able to capture the complete frequencies of human emotion, thought, language, hope, aspirations—the full spectrum of vibrations manifested by humans—more precisely than music. With music, we’re able not only to record current reality, but also to encode future realities. We document life, while we co-create the future. Using music, we’re able to imbue the time horizon with realities far into the future in ways that no other medium can achieve. This encoding is done by way of tone, message, rhythm, emotion, and soul energy, all primal vibrations for the propagation of human reality.
Music is more than a communication medium; it is a soul-level medium delivering energy and information to the human heart and consciousness. Beyond transmitting information in a sonic and rhythmic package, music delivers one of the highest and purest emotional energies of any other medium of communication. Often, the emotional energy and information generated by music is so great that listeners lose consciousness. This happens frequently when listeners are exposed to live performances where their main sensory faculties, audio and visual, are overloaded with sound and imagery (sound in the form of light) beyond their physical and emotional capacities.
A Medium of Higher Reality
When we listen to music, we are witnessing a frozen reality, one fixed in both frequency and time. It takes the human consciousness, emotion, and the soul to give it new life and meaning. While we provide music with infinite life force, it provides us with a higher medium to access our souls and the cosmos. By accessing the human mental, heart, and soul forces, music takes on a new journey through the living cosmos within and without. The cosmos within is the mind, heart, and soul. The cosmos without is the outer universe.
The full spectrum of energy delivered by music is yet to be completely understood. There are higher levels of energy within music that are inaudible to the human ear. These higher levels of sound transmission take place in the frequencies beyond the human hearing range. When we’re exposed to music, it’s not only our minds that vibrate with the sound; our bodies’ entire cellular structures absorb the vibration and vibrate with the sound at different levels of frequency. Beyond the physical, our etheric, astral bodies, and our souls also vibrate with the resonances (overtones) generated by music, capturing its vibrations at higher-frequencies.
Added to these vibrational resonances is the emotional charge carried by music, which further multiplies the effects of music upon our being. The emotional charge creates the link between physical reality and higher dimensions of reality, accessing multiple dimensions of our being. Since nature, including human beings, is made of sound vibration, sound, especially music, becomes the teleportation device that facilitates living matter to traverse different planes of existence. This helps to explain the use of music in spiritual ceremonies both in established religions and traditional faiths. Music is the link between the emotional, psychological, and the causal planes of human presence. It facilitates the transmission of the kinds of information and qualities of consciousness that lead to social, cultural, economic, political, and ultimately, societal changes.
Shaping the Future Through Music
We are living in an era where music has become the most consumed element of our expression. We can hardly live a single day without listening to music from our phones, iPods, televisions, radios, the Internet, and so on. Given this reality, it is crucial that humanity begins to awaken to the real power of music, especially its subtle energetic capacity to entrain our souls into future realities. Our personal realities are greatly impacted by the message and sonic qualities of the music we listen to. In fact, every song that we listen to pushes the boundaries of our perceived and manifested reality. It also impacts the quality of our emotions and consequently our moods, our relationships, and our overall interactions with the world around us.
In order to meet the challenges facing humanity, we, the musicians, must be the first group of creators to realize that we have co-creative powers over the consciousness of our listeners. We must become aware of the nature of sound as an element of reality through human essences of soul and consciousness. Humanity, as a whole, needs to awaken to the real potential embedded in music. Our attention to, and consumption of music should be matched by an equal awareness of the power of music in shaping our individual and collective reality. We can no longer afford to treat music as an art form, only useful for entertainment, while it is shaping our soul, consciousness, and the very society materializing in front of us. After all, we are living music.
“If one should desire to know whether a kingdom is well governed, if its morals are good or bad, the quality of its music will furnish the answer.” ― Confucius
