Music

2nd May 1840 around noon.

[1] If you want to know what music is, take note of what I tell you, so many things will become clear to you; so not music, but action out of pure love is in itself – without the addition of wisdom, but as it is, love in it’s blindness.

[2] Behold, you have no purer image than music (which should better be called blind love) of the pure love in Me, which is a confluence of the seven Spirits of the Godhead, who unite there in the mutual meeting of their steady and calm flowing.

[3] And this meeting gives birth to the sound sevenfold according to the nature of the self- encountering Spirit, and the sound then grows away from the basic tone and away through all seven spirits, and so every spirit then has it’s own sound according to the order of the scale known to you. And as every one of the seven spirits penetrates all seven, so also all seven are present in each one individually and then all of them again pour out into each other harmoniously and melodiously, which then is the great bliss of the Godhead in it’s love.

[4] And so the sound is then a vibration, and this vibration trembles through the spirits, and the spirits recognize each other, and the recognition manifests itself according to the ratio of the vibrations, and the vibrations are perceived in love in community, and this community is then the right harmony. And when then in this great purest harmony, love vibrates blissfully, then this vibrations flows back into the deity, and there is then a confluence, and in this confluence the spirits then warm up and then ignite in love, and this ignition is the light, and in this light the innumerable forms are recognized, which arise from the vibrations.

[5] Now you know what sound and music is, how it is created and what it is for and what it is. And therefore it is also given to you as a secret sign of heavy and great content, which only can be completely dissolved in the purest love to Me; and so you are also to learn to look at it and use it and enjoy it in the offering of your highest glory and your deepest thanks to Me, in which nothing unclean is to cling anymore.

[6] But how is this gift from the highest of the heavens used by you?! Oh the great shame; I have shown you through people the pure in oratorios and symphonies – but you gild heaps of dirt with it and then even kick them with your feet. So consider what music is and what it is for! – and do not desecrate the bliss in Me. I the purest love in God Jehovah Amen, Amen, Amen.
