The Levels of Gaining Knowledge in Music

Music knows very different levels of gaining knowledge: lower, higher, still higher, and highest.

The Unenlivened Nature in the Musical Sound-Space

The lowest level of gaining knowledge in music lies in the field of the musical sound-space.

Everything on this level, that is unenlivened or hardly enlivened, is portrayed most clearly.
And the analysis of the spectra acting in the musical sound-space provides a detailed picture of nature on the atomic and molecular level.

The Transcendental Reality of the Musical Sound-Space

But in the depth of these structures – in the field of that musical logic by which the tonal structures move the cognizant mind discovers a new world of a higher order: the world of the motif.

And in this world the dimension of individual development, individual budding, steady growth, and finally of entry into the world of the musical sequence, into the world of the natural social space, opens to the mind.

The Cognitive and the Creative Way of the Musical Motifs

All motifs tend, if they no longer romp about playfully in their own spaces, towards the sequence-spaces as their own place of origin, their birth-house from where they originally came; or they strive outside: towards the musical sound-space where they enliven what needs to be enlivened.

This striving of the motifs towards the sequence-spaces contains the natural teaching system of the Creator and of almighty Nature respectively, for training the inner human forces for the natural social performance development of the individual person by applying the harmony laws of the microcosm of music, or the Creator, or of Nature.

And their way to the outside, towards the musical sound-spaces, contains the natural teaching system of the Creator and of almighty Nature respectively, for training the inner human forces for the natural individual performance development of the individual person in the fields of his health and of his shaping the environment.
