The Power in Music

Music has been a favored entertainment down through the ages. It is both therapeutic and energizing. It uplifts one's mood and spirit. It has the ability to take the listener to subliminal heights.

However, is it possible that music possess a subtle power most people have never been aware of? A power that can stir emotions, provoke thoughts, and instigate conflict?

The Power in Music is an engaging article that explores the unlimited potentialities of a musician and his/her instrument.

The Power in Music


A musician can induce a variety of emotions through the rhythms and words integrated into compositions.

But little do most of us know how truly powerful music is. Just as it can be a potent cure for nostalgia, it can be crafted into a tool of destruction.

The Solfeggio tones are the universal musical notes, which were also utilized by the Gregorian monks for their chants. The 432 Hz was one favored by Master Classical Musicians. In particular, Mozart implemented the tones in his compositions, often tuning his instrument to achieve certain frequencies that vocalists had to struggle with.

The 440 Hz that prevails nowadays is said to be a legacy of Hitler. During WWI, the Nazis were extremely engrossed with developing new ways of torture, making each one more formidable than the previous. And they discovered that music is quite a powerful tool for this purpose. By altering the frequency of music to the high-pitch 440 Hz, they can trigger emotions of fear... increasing their manipulative powers over those within the concentration camps.

Hence, simply setting the 440 Hz as a universal standard allowed fear to linger on long after the war. Unwittingly, the populace has been willingly playing and listening to 440 Hz music, without realizing they are submitting themselves to subjugation through the most cunning weapon used by those in power-and they have been winning without lifting a finger.

Upon completely eradicating knowledge of Solfeggio tones and replacing it with a new set of notes, the Heptatonic Scale, media was fashioned into an indispensable tool, allowing those in power to continue sowing fear, anger, and separation among people even with the most sublime musical pieces.

Everything is energy. Everything that enters our body (food, words, sounds, thoughts, elements, etc.) contain energy that influences our energetic field... and therefore, affecting our very being, especially if we are oblivious to how external factors can be absorbed into our energetic field.

As we progress into a new era, humanity is re-acquainted to ancient knowledge once lost and hidden. During the 1970's, Dr. Joseph Puleo rediscovered the Solfeggio tones. Among Star Seeds, Crystal Children have innate healing skills. This includes creating healing music, which uses the Solfeggio tones.

In essence, the Solfeggio tones are natural sounds that connect and converse with our body and energetic field. They comprise the sound of the universe and everything that is in it (that includes us and all of Earth.)

Yes, we emit sounds through our emotions. We emit tones caused by the energies of our very thoughts.

When extrasensory perception is fully awakened and activated, the energies of sound, image, scent, and emotion can be perceived by all senses-this is how we will all come to experience the truth that emotions (and virtually everything) produce vibrations that emit sound, color, and even scent. In a nutshell, all is energy. And energy is light, sound... vibration.

And through Solfeggio music tuned to a particular frequency, we are able to tune into the vibrations of love, intuitiveness, and healing.

An enthusiast and passionate artist, 
I believe love is the driving force of creativity; 
imagination, its vehicle; manifestation, its progeny.

Hokusai



Katsushika Hokusai is a Japanese artist, whose works epitomize the country's ardor for minimalist artistry. He rendered at least 100 images of the Mount Fuji and published 4,000 sketches in one book. However, most know him for a single painting, The Great Wave off Kanagawa.

One might wonder how a flat, two-toned painting can be straightforward, refined, and, yet, quite intense. These words aptly describe his style of harmoniously balancing elements within a composition. As though to demonstrate, one needs only a step closer. Revealed to the onlooker are intricate details, skillfully veiled so as not to dominate nor contest their value over the hues, forms, or the artist's technique.

Despite his good repute even among Western contemporaries (including Vincent van Gogh), he is noted for his personal censure:
From the age of 6 I had a mania for drawing the shapes of things. When I was 50 I had published a universe of designs. But all I have done before the the age of 70 is not worth bothering with. At 75 I'll have learned something of the pattern of nature, of animals, of plants, of trees, birds, fish and insects. When I am 80 you will see real progress. At 90 I shall have cut my way deeply into the mystery of life itself. At 100, I shall be a marvelous artist. At 110, everything I create; a dot, a line, will jump to life as never before. To all of you who are going to live as long as I do, I promise to keep my word. I am writing this in my old age. I used to call myself Hokusai, but today I sign my self 'The Old Man Mad About Drawing.'
A true craftsman, only death rendered him powerless and embitteredparting him from his sole life purpose and true love. His famed resentful utterance in his deathbed:
If only Heaven will give me just another ten years... Just another five more years, then I could become a real painter.

Albert Einstein

“Once you can accept the universe as matter expanding into nothing that 
is something, wearing stripes with plaid comes easy.”―Albert Einstein

"Brilliant physicist, proponent of peace, debater of science and spirituality, champion of kindness." These are just a few of the words Maria Popova wrote about the renowned scientist.

Made famous by the equation E=mc2, Albert Einstein was never confined to the four walls of a laboratory. Unlike the common notions of what scientists are, he was one with a heart--and, in every way, he made this evident in his works. His pensive yet cheery disposition is considerably an aspect of his personality that he treasured as much as his scientific achievements.

Included in Posterity: Letters of Great Americans to Their Children, Albert's letter to his son, Hans, speaks of his affection as a father and his view on life and occupation:

My dear Albert,
Yesterday I received your dear letter and was very happy with it. I was already afraid you wouldn’t write to me at all any more. You told me when I was in Zurich, that it is awkward for you when I come to Zurich. Therefore I think it is better if we get together in a different place, where nobody will interfere with our comfort. I will in any case urge that each year we spend a whole month together, so that you see that you have a father who is fond of you and who loves you. You can also learn many good and beautiful things from me, something another cannot as easily offer you. What I have achieved through such a lot of strenuous work shall not only be there for strangers but especially for my own boys. These days I have completed one of the most beautiful works of my life, when you are bigger, I will tell you about it.
I am very pleased that you find joy with the piano. This and carpentry are in my opinion for your age the best pursuits, better even than school. Because those are things which fit a young person such as you very well. Mainly play the things on the piano which please you, even if the teacher does not assign those. That is the way to learn the most, that when you are doing something with such enjoyment that you don’t notice that the time passes. I am sometimes so wrapped up in my work that I forget about the noon meal. ...
Be with Tete kissed by your
Papa.
Regards to Mama.

The Dalai Lama


The Dalai Lama's good cheer is probably his most intriguing characteristic. In contrast to the austere, implacable features common among religious figures, the Dalai Lama does not hesitate to exhibit joviality.

Here's an excerpt from the Dalai Lama's book, "My Spiritual Journey," where he shares his thoughts on laughter and compassion:
Of course problems are there. But thinking only of the negative aspect doesn’t help to find solutions and it destroys peace of mind. Everything, though, is relative. You can see the positive side of even the worst tragedies if you adopt a holistic perspective. If you take the negative as absolute and definitive, however, you increase your worries and anxiety, whereas by broadening the way you look at a problem you understand what is bad about it, but you accept it. This attitude comes to me, from my practice and from Buddhist philosophy, which help me enormously. 
...
If we are content just to think that compassion, rationality, and patience are good, that is not actually enough to develop these qualities. Difficulties provide the occasion to put them into practice. Who can make such occasions arise? Certainly not our friends, but rather our enemies, for they are the ones who pose the most problems. So that we truly want to progress on the path, we must regard our enemies as our best teachers.
For whoever holds love and compassion in high esteem, the practice of tolerance is essential, and it requires an enemy. We must be grateful to our enemies, then, because they help us best engender a serene mind! Anger and hatred are the real enemies that we must confront and defeat, not the “enemies” who appear from time to time in our lives.
