Is there a harmony between heaven and earth? Are we connected with the planets?Since the dawn of time, mystics have talked of a heavenly music, audible only on a subtle level. Until recently, the theme of The Music of the Spheres was taken seriously in many cultures and religions around the world, and even in music theory. And yet now it has become mute. Or perhaps we have become deaf.Can we learn how to hear this heavenly music again?This book begins by looking at the Music of the Spheres throughout history, and how paradigm shifts in consciousness, from mysticism to materialism, have reduced the Music of the Spheres to a fanciful myth. But we will not allow this sound to become a myth so easily. We will instead fine-tune our listening, exploring physical sound, soul sound and the highly subtle spirit-sound. A deeper understanding of the quality of number will then prepare us to internalise and spiritualise the musical intervals found in Pythagoras’ and Kepler’s Music of the Spheres. Finally, a future initiation path of Listening is suggested and described.Through personal anecdotes, listening exercises and philosophical inquiry, based mainly on Rudolf Steiner’s Anthroposophy, Paul Lawrence explores this subtle sound in an exciting and masterly way. Your appreciation for music and its significance for human and world development will not be the same after reading this inspiring book.
