In David Tame’s book, Beethoven and the Spiritual Path, we learn that Beethoven was not the only composer who was writing to serve God and uplift humanity. “in the words of J.S. Bach, ‘The aim and final reason of all music should be nothing else but the glory of God and the refreshment of the spirit.’ Mozart held with the Masonic belief that the purpose of art was to promote peace, brotherhood, and harmony in all who experienced it, and devoted his music to this cause. And, to quote just one such line from Beethoven, on the score of his stupendous Missa Solemnis he wrote: ‘From the heart, may it reach other hearts.’” (pp.13-14)
David Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D., in Eye of the I:From Which Nothing is Hidden, writes the following: “To endeavor to evolve spiritually is the greatest gift one can give. It actually uplifts all mankind from within. . .” “All society is subliminally and subtly influenced by every kind and loving thought, word, or deed.” “The universe notes and records every action and returns it in kind.” (p.204)
Because of the infinite power of The Field of God, “Every kindness is therefore forever”. (p. 204)
If you listen to music (and if you are a living person on this planet, you do), what are you listening to? Is it uplifting? Besides just making you feel good in the moment, is it assisting you in raising your consciousness? Is it helping you to evolve spiritually?
Musicians of the world, what are you writing about? Why are you writing music? What is your intention for writing and/or performing music?
Food for thought.

This IS great food for thought!
It’s very interesting to read this post that was written over a year ago, and find that it’s content is timeless.
And the beautiful thing about blogging is that it’s easy to write bits and blurbs and publish content quickly and easily.
I recently spoke with Nadama from Malimba Records, and he totally agrees with the heart and soul and message of this post.

Hi. I came across your website, after the spirit prompted me to search the internet in answer to something that has been weighing on my mind. I am a classical music composer and a student of devotional non-duality. I have met Dr. Hawkins as well as read all of his books. I wish to write music that is in service of god and mankind. I was looking for some help in calibrating my music and also using muscle testing as a guide during even the composing process of my work. I was wondering whether you might be able to help me with that. I can’t find anyone around me to do the testing with. please, let me know. I think that music produced from the kind of process that I am describing (with the intention to serve the highest good) would have a profound impact upon the world and uplift humanity in a way that has never, or at least rarely, been seen before. feel free to email me.
