Nowadays,
rock musicians and editors and/or presenters can be found, who
on the one hand verbally support a clean environment. 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. 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. |
