Nowadays, rock musicians and editors and/or presenters can be found, who on the one hand verbally support a clean environment.
However, to an incomparably greater extent, the music they put to these words that go relatively unheeded, bring the listener to pollute and/or destruct the environment.
Other rock groups and/or presenters use their songs and/or pro­grammes to promote better and healthier working conditions for the workers, or profess to be against war and dictatorship in their texts – at the same time, however, destroying with their music the harmony of biological functions of life in their listener’s organism, and establishing in their inner being those destructive, intolerant and dictatorial powers, we then come across again in the streets.

We could now say that these musicians and those who spread this music are complete hypocrites, who in their songs, texts and comments verbally feign a kind of ethics, they themselves do not put into practice in the way they influence people with their music.
But this would actually be the lesser evil – because beyond all the hypocrisy, they themselves are burdened with, and which they themselves have to cope and live with, they educate their listeners by means of the structural power of music in the blind frenzy of destruction: in a destructive frenzy towards the environment and in self-destruction.

That is why the kind of music, which in its structure opposes the natural harmony laws of life, can be looked upon as the main cause of growing, self-destructive drug consumption – those drugs a person logically goes for if he has been urged in his thinking and feeling towards general destruction, and therefore also self-destruction by means of unnaturally structured music.

The structural power of music on human thinking and feeling is, compared to all added words that are sung or spoken or even compared to pictures, so strong that when assessing the holistic effect on the listener, we can neglect the contents of the added words and/or pictures: the utmost part of the actual exertion of influence on the listener’s thinking and feeling originates from the structure of music, which he is unable to resist, and he has to survive with its effect on his thinking, feeling and actions.

Just like a rifle bullet, coming from a marksman, hits the victim and affects him or her in a physical structural way – without the marksman’s and/or the weapon manufacturer’s or victim’s opin­ions influencing the wounds in any way –, music that does not orientate itself towards the natural order of the harmony laws of music, has the same objectively destructive effect on our thinking and feeling, as in the same way equally destructive on the lis­tener’s biology – and that is independent of the ethical opinion the composer, musician, presenter or listener may publicly rep­re­sent and/or feign.

A musician and/or presenter who verbally declares himself against environmental destruction with his songs and/or his programme, but structurally ignores and breaks the natural order of the har­mony laws of music, is similar to a person, who verbally ad­vises his neighbour to stop drinking wine, whilst at the same time dis­creetly injecting him with a strong dose of cocaine, without en­light­ening him about the contents of the injection.

Music that is not orientated towards the natural order of the har­mony laws of music is really inscribing in the listener’s con­sciousness, thinking, feeling and organism the programme for blind destruction ending in self-destruction, by means of various drugs or other kinds of suicide.

The different kinds of destructive wills, finally leading to ad­dic­tion – such as drug addiction, alcoholism, cigarette addiction or ad­dic­tion to prescribed drugs – are only the various expressions of that one addiction of self-destruction, whose programme is inscribed in the listener’s consciousness, thinking, feeling and organism by the kind of music, which is not orientated towards the natural order of the harmony laws of nature.

The ignorance of the present musical experts, or perhaps even their hushed up knowledge of these facts, because of avarice or craving for recognition, do not alter the facts, and should stir the conscience of those responsible in our society to draw the nec­es­sary consequences with all haste.
