*Reveals how a hierarchy of initiates, evolved spiritual intelligences and devas actively influenced the musical compositions of geniuses to transmit great truths through music*Explores the influence of the classical composers Bach, Handel, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Chopin, Schumann, Wagner and Strauss - from Beethoven's influence on the creation of psychoanalysis to Chopin's musical influence on the emancipation of womenComposer and author, Cyril Scott, explores the role of music in the evolution of humanity and shows how it has pushed human evolution forward. He explains that music has a profound effect on history, morals and culture and is a more potent force in the moulding of character than religious creeds or moral philosophies. Whereas mediocre musicians reflect only their own times, inspired ones help determine the character of the future. Exploring the works of classical composers such as Bach, Handel, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Chopin, Wagner and Strauss, Scott reveals how their compositions were actively influenced by a hierarchy of initiates, evolved spiritual intelligences and devas to make the way fertile for human spiritual evolution.
Scott explains how humans are composed not only of a physical body, emotional body and a mental body but, also, a sensation body that acts as the bridge between the physical realm and the hierarchy of initiates. Scott shows how the music of great composers affects not only those listening, but, also, society as a wholefrom Beethoven's influence on the creation of psychoanalysis to Chopin's musical influence on the emancipation of women.
