Musical vibrations are full of healing power. Their effect upon mind and
body soothing and vitalizing beyond description, and producing every
emotion of which we are capable. It is the key that will unlock for us
the deep secrets of the universe. Its universal language enables the
composer to reveal his thoughts to an audience, by notes, tones, rhythms,
cadences, which are but different rates of vibration. As he describes
a storm, the wind wails through the trees, the branches sway, the rain
patters on the leaves. Then the rush of the storm, the pealing thunder,
the flash of lightnings, the rush and downpour of angry waters. Then
comes the lull, the dying away, the burst of sunlight, the birds singing
their songs of joy. We see and hear it all. It is a painting. It is a
symphony. It is vibration. Carlisle says, “All deep things are songs; see
deep enough and you see music. The heart of nature breathes everywhere
music if you can only reach it.”
This love force or vibration, great in volume, is like a great white
light whose radiant energy absorbs and burns up all its opponents, such
as hatred, dislike, malice, uncharitableness, etc., just as the sun in
the solar system absorbs all cosmic matter (vibrations) that comes within
its radius. This cosmic matter furnishing the combustion necessary to
continue the radiant energy, which for us means continued existence.
The maiden in her fresh and glorious beauty, with rosebud tinted cheeks,
the aureole of the sun crowning her hair, her form swaying with graceful
mien, bursts like an apparition on the youth, and the refulgence of her
beauty dazzles him like the sunlight and blinds him to all else. While
these intense love vibrations continue he has no eyes, no ears for aught
save her. He exalts her in poem and in song. He “protests” like Romeo and
she like Juliet “doubts” and “doubts,” these very doubts calling forth
more prolerlations. The vibrations called love produce a condition, an
emotion, akin to hysteria. Indeed the brain once attuned to its vibration
becomes obsessed and all sorts of vagaries are evolved amounting to
madness or insanity.
The brain being attuned by some dominant thought immediately assumes
telepathic conditions. It becomes as we say enrapport with this or that
class of thought deposited in the reservoirs of the universe.
Music is the language of love. Listening to some forgotten note or song,
what is called memory is established, and thoughts are awakened we
deemed were long dead. They speak to us in no uncertain or unfamiliar
tones, and many a lover’s quarrel of long standing has been healed by
this sacrament of music.
