The

Performance of
Musical Knowing
Starts with the
Self-Consciousness
The Self-Awareness
as the Field of All

Varying Structural
Density in the
Self-Consciousness
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-consciousness 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.
