Compiled by the publishers for this special publication from a lecture given
by
the classical composer at the medical faculty of the University of Heidelberg,
the University of Tel Aviv and the University of Magdeburg, and the talks
which
followed on the application of the natural laws of harmony in the microcosm
of
music for medicine.
With the revelation of the natural
laws of harmony in the microcosm of music, the listener should consciously
or unconsciously acquire an immediate, authentic knowledge of the natural
harmony of his biological life.
The last great representative of this medicinal music appreciation was the
famous physician, philosopher, musicologist, and mathematician, Pythagoras.
If
it is possible with the help of an insight into the microcosm of music
to recognise the laws of harmony of our life, and, if by way of an external
musical order we are able, in addition to this, to apply these natural
laws of harmony to our thoughts, and still further to our biological system,
allow them to take effect there, and to stabilise and activate those natural
laws of harmony, already in place but weak in function, this would represent
an enormous gain for the health of mankind, he concluded. And so Pythagoras set up a medical training facility in which he devoted himself with mathematical thoroughness to this musicological and medical task. After him, many renowned scientists and researchers from the most diverse of scientific fields have come up with the same or similar results as Pythagoras, so keeping his hypotheses alive. |

Natures Laws of Harmony
in the Microcosm of Music
The Musicological Fundamentals
of the Digital Pharmacy
Throughout history, the worlds
great thinkers have assumed that those same universal laws of harmony which
naturally govern the microcosm of music also determine the harmony of the
natural functions in the interior world of man himself and, furthermore, accord
with those laws of harmony which direct the entire course of biological evolution.
Some great scholars went even further and claimed that these universal laws
of harmony, which determine the microcosm of music and biological life itself,
also indeed govern the entire cosmos.
For this reason great scholars have, since ancient times, keenly supported the creation and use of music which puts into practice the natural laws of harmony in the microcosm of music and reveals these to the consciousness of the listener.
