There is a conclusive point to all of our lives when ignorance ceases and wisdom prevails. This is said to be the dawning of enlightenment. It is happening everyday across the nation. This story is a prime example. Beginning with a man named Kamunda Halassi, as he sat listening to his employer gabble about the crimes against humanity and have such joy about it, he realized she wasn't the only person who enjoyed drama. He thought it was his fault because as an anchor man, he captured millions of hearts with death and destruction. When this realization hit home, it worried him. He then decided to give something to the world that could change people. It was his son, Monsoguthra. In doing so, Kamunda prepared his son's mind, body, and soul with knowledge--enough that Monsoguthra would ask the same question he asked: What's the most important aspect of life? As it was with him, Kamunda pressed him to find his own answer by engaging life. He did and combined his own wisdom with his father's knowledge. This became a spectacle in the Halassi family. So aspiring that Monsoguthra decided to keep the genetic knowledge flowing forward.

As Vyasa, scribe of the epic Mahabarata, said, “This book is about you.” At first glance the material may seem to be about the specter of ancient Greek musical theory, the ghostly remains that concern a musical system long past and forgotten. However, first glances are often very deceiving. What is offered within its pages goes far beyond arid musical theorizing. As the reader soon begins to discover, permeating through-and-through, in every word on every page, is the archetypal portrait of the ever-present Self. The original and revelatory information, overflowing with meaning, emerges into the world-at-large not only from the extensive research that comes from books and libraries and institutions of higher learning, but also from the deep, quiet, inner searching for the soul. The ideas are unquestionably rich in the nutrients that feed the mind, while also nourishing the heart. Assimilating their message cannot help but inform and transform the reader. Utilizing simple but irrefutable musical mathematics, the author deftly erases centuries-long misunderstandings and speculations by bringing to light what has been lost for twenty-five hundred years: the enharmonic genus. Her point of departure is the Greek musician, Aristoxenus [c. 360 B. C.], a pupil of the philosopher Aristotle. Aristoxenus, the son of a musician, penned a seven-part treatise about music, called Elementa Harmonica. Harmonics was the science concerned with the laws of world creation and world maintenance: how they came into existence and how they were organized. Harmonics revealed the fundamental blueprint of creation, and subsequent theoretical structures. The Elementa Harmonica is considered the oldest “theory text” still in existence. Its influence was considerable and its theoretical ideas were passed on as doctrine by musical theorist of antiquity. Even so, much of what Aristoxenus wrote in Elementa Harmonica has been lost. Of its last three sections (Modes, Modulation, and Construction) very little remains, while the first four categories (Genera, Intervals, Notes, and Systems) continue to be the basis for heated controversy and endless confusion among scholars. The perplexities are immediately cleared up by the recovery of the enharmonic genus. Suddenly, with discovery of the long lost key, we are able to “read the basic blueprint,” or matrix, that reveals the universal laws. What today we call the matrix, the ancient Greeks named the “katapyknosis.” From the shifts within the matrix structure comes the organization of the ancient Harmonia, a word that means “soul.” Harmonics is really about the soul: of what it is composed, and how it is made. Being the reconciling factor, the soul integrates the “inner” and “outer” octaves, enabling the image-formation that is uniquely human. By the measure of the soul one is able to view both the world and oneself objectively. Taking a more intuitive approach than what is permitted in academia, the author describes how Aristoxenus’s seven musical categories, beginning with the key of the recovered enharmonic genus, actually reveal the expanded viewpoint of an underlying hermetic tradition, one effectively preserved and transmitted by the very information contained within Elementa Harmonica itself. The bold and innovative interpretations in this work may, in all likelihood, set off a storm of controversy that will go beyond the confines of the academic community. What has been dared is the revivifying of ideas, long considered cold and dead, so they once again vibrate the eternal truths of physical and metaphysical principles. Uniquely original yet universal, crossing the lines of science and religion and philosophy, the information emerges into the world-at-large just in the nick of time, as the world approaches the brink of an abyss that cannot be bridged by the usual attempts at diplomacy, or by superfluous and useless ideological phrases. The times themselves have brought about the dire necessity for this book about musical harmonics, the ancient science of the soul, which can bridge the gap.

This musicological study, by persuasive explanation, shows how, adhering to certain exact ratios and proportions, music gains objective power. The inquiry is scientific, the solutions ingenious. Following unexplored and unconventional lines, the author brings together what, on the surface, appear to be three separate lines: Judaism, Hinduism, and the Gurdjieff Work. Their link is musical harmonics, or the magical science of connection between sounds.
The failure of modern musicians to achieve the magical effects long ascribed to music by the ancients is due to the prevailing ignorance of those who know nothing about the objective laws on which music is based. Ancient cultures knew how the laws of harmonics (or what comes in between the tones) could evoke metaphysical correspondences of a spiritual nature, as did Gurdjieff. The Hebrews encoded harmonics in their Tree of Life diagram, the Hindus incorporated the potent musical information in a secretive “Music of the Path,” and Gurdjieff enshrined it in the Enneagram symbol of the Work.
In this groundbreaking book, the author presents a provocative and engaging picture of how these laws work. The wealth of new information will have a profound impact on modern views of music and its laws.

INTRODUCTION. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? We had the experience but missed the meaning —T. S. Eliot, The Four Quartets What does it mean? How many times we ask ourselves that question! Frankl wrote that to find meaning in one’s life was the primary motivational force in man. Gurdjieff’s fundamental question was ”What is the meaning and purpose of man’s life on earth?” Without meaning, life becomes only a dreary disillusionment, a mere stopgap between birth and death. Since our human nature abhors a vacuum, our common search turns toward filling the ever-present inner void. Our humanity urges us to fill in the empty space between the two points. What urges us is the will to meaning: Who am I? What am I? Why am I here? The Mysteries not only address these wrenching human questions, but afford them objective, mathematically provable answers. The Mystery teachings are all about the science of mediation. Mediation means the mean between the extremes. Without the calculable knowledge of the mean, we are the halt leading the blind; and all fall into the ditch of ignorance and discord. From ancient times, the keynote of the special training into the Mysteries concerned the vibratory laws of harmonics. Harmonics is the language of initiates. Even today, our scientists, peering into the ineluctable mysteries of Nature, recognize how the knowledge harmonics unveils the hidden, mysterious, underlying substructure of the visible material world in which we live. They call it string theory. However, they see only the tip of the iceberg and fail to comprehend the vastness of the structure lying below the surface. Consequently, their results give no real meaning to their discoveries. As ancient cultures well knew, unless understood with a special cast of mind, the arid and secular (Ital. secco, dry) knowledge of mathematical harmonic ratios lead only to pedantic factual data that no one, except perhaps the pedants themselves, care to peruse. The sacred meaning is lost. Meaning, one might say, is the value computed by dividing the sum of two extremes of a range of values by 2? Both means and meaning are valuable as the connectors that join together the proverbial two ends of the octave stick. Means are what come in between. As the ancient musicians were at pains to point out, means provide the middle position. As the reconciling force, they represent the distinctive and valuable aspects of our human nature. In the Timaeus, Plato expresses the importance of the mean that mediates between the two incommensurable things: mind and body, allegorized as fire and earth. However, the universal frame was not simply a surface plane (for which a single mean would have sufficed). Rather, it was a solid, and solid bodies are always compacted not by one mean but by two.Therefore, God placed water and air in the mean between fire and earth, and made them to have the same proportion so far as was possible(as fire is to air, so is water to earth); and thus he bound and put together a visible and tangible heaven. And for these reasons, and out of such elements which are in number four, the body of the world was created, and it was harmonized by proportion, and therefore has the spirit of harmonia, having been reconciled to itself,

BOOK DESCRIPTION Journeys of the Soul, by Audrey J. Saabye, is Audrey’s continuing adventures with Bill, her decease husband. As she travels, he guides, chides, protects and leads her into greater Self-realization and soul healing. Before she and Bill could realize their dream of visiting Alaska, he’d passed away. After healing some of her family relationships, Bill proclaimed, “Our trip to Alaska is in Divine Order.” She was thrilled, but she had found comfort, security, solace, freedom and independence traveling via automobile throughout the western United States and the idea of turning life and luggage over to others was scary. Watching her car disappear through the windows of a crowded van en route to a Cruise Ship that first time was disconcerting. No matter how detailed the brochures tried to prepare her for this cruise, nothing matched the reality. Once on board she learned that staying in touch with new friends meant getting their address immediately or she might never see them again. But she was hooked, and after recovering from that first cruise, the joy and wonder of Alaska sparked four more Alaskan adventures as well as greater soul healing.

An account of how the author began receiving messages from the spirit world back in 1984. It tells how she went from totally disbelieving to eventually accepting what she was being given through automatic writing. This book also includes some of the fascinating information that has been related within these channeled messages. Such subjects as Creation, the eternal soul, the seeding of man on Earth, the Earth Changes, the predicted axis shift, the Anti-Christ and the Second Coming are examined in this narrative about angelic communication.The author does not expect others to believe everything that her Guides have expressed. Instead, she offers their teachings as an incentive for people to pursue their own journey of spiritual awareness. The Foreword to this book was written by the Women´s Spirituality writer Diane Stein.
