The
Increase of Performance of Musical Knowing Starts with the
Self-Consciousness
The Self-Awareness as the Field of All Possibilities in Music
Varying Structural Density in the
Self-Consciousness
The Self-Awareness Systematically Practises Self-Identification
For an increase of performance in our musical hearing our self-consciousness is therefore the first station.
Our
self-awareness must be trained systematically to identify itself with itself
to know itself, to know its infinitely manifold, extremely flexible
sound qualities.
As it practises, our self-consciousness must comprehend its potential to most
perfectly structure the tone.
Compared
to all other tools of cognition, our self-conscious-ness is that organ which
by nature possesses the largest degree of energy and intelligence.
This means that, within itself, it has the potential for the most complete
structural formation of tones, as well as for the clarity of representation,
and for the complex integrated structural change of the tones.
Within
our self-consciousness already we find a varying structural density.
If, in our self-awareness, limited individual awareness dominates cosmic consciousness
the unlimited, the universal self-awareness then its average
density is lower.
If the universal self-awareness dominates the limited individual one, then its average density is higher.
So, cosmic self-awareness includes the potential of the entire art of sound, while the individual self-awareness includes only the potential for single musical works.
