Theos-Talk Archives (March 2008 Message tt00170)

Yow Frank:

Yes it was great but it carried the music not
theosophia. As a musician I can simply state all kinds
of music are expressing ideas and thoughts. When you
dig deep enough you will find that music is the base
of Life in where rhytm ordens the different forms,
bass vitalises it, chords combine the various spheres
of a form and melody gives it its unique character.
These are my thoughts, they could be wrong.

As I understand it, music (art) could be used as an
expression of Theosophy, even without labeling it as '
Theosophy'.
Since music (art) moves on the Intuitive plane, its to
me the best way to express it: there is no confusion
on the Intuitive plane. 
Another example: why do kids at school mostly learn
how to read, count, history, geography, biology?
Its all a mind thing, while music could be read yes (
I cant read music, dont even want to)but real music
comes from the soul. I hate playing some1 elses work,
I do enjoy their life performances though.

So, all I wish for Theosophy is a new Raja Yoga school
to be started, with all the means we have today, it
would be brilliant...and lets forget about all the
mindstorms which took place since that other brilliant
musician HPB passed away...the mind will never make
you feel in harmony, the soul does and will...
BTW most occult manifestations are done as a result of
a song or piece of music...
