The Inner Logic
of the Musical Process of Knowing

Detours of Human Gaining Knowledge beyond Music

We know from experience that especially nowadays man chooses the more uncomfortable, the more complicated, the less fulfilling, the uglier, the meaner, the more lifeless – because of some outer, intellectual consideration in the limited context of his first three states of consciousness he believes that in the end he will still draw a greater personal gain from such choice;
he hopes that by choosing the uncomfortable he will still reap more joy and greater happiness in the end.
That this is a false conclusions demonstrates the dreadful state of present education, generated by considerations directed to limited advantages, and, in consequence of that, demonstrates the disastrous world situation.

Coordination of the Music Lover with the
Prime Forces of Nature

The great thinkers, philosophers, artists, scientists and prophets never trusted such considerations and their testimonials document this their common standpoint; and the same way thinks the classical composer: he thinks, if the joy of his listener is concerned, that such aims directed to limited advantages and the educational methods related to them, are too complicated and therefore unpractical, but first of all also: are unnatural. For his music listener, the composer aims at the direct way to inner happiness and inner joy; he knows that, for happiness to last, the first prerequisite lies in the coordination of the listener with the prime forces of nature, i. e. in the musical unison of the music listener with the infinite harmony – that key of the listener being one with his universal self.

Musical Knowledge of the Cosmic Laws of Unfoldment

From the viewpoint of the music creator then, everything for his music listener results as if from itself; because in the same way as, with the composer, the process of creating music from the level of his self-knowledge very naturally follows cosmic laws of unfoldment, the joyful, creative will of the listener follows the same comprehensive, natural laws of unfoldment from the height of his pure self-cognition – once he has reached the musical height of the harmony – and therefore moves without resistance in accordance with nature.
