Beethoven’s immortal music evokes the feelings of brotherly love and kindness in people
Music is the language of the deities, the initiation of humans into the language of the deities. It gives people a unique chance to enter into the divine spheres.
Among the deities there are many knights who wage battle against the spirits of evil with the help of the golden keys of good. Beethoven, deaf to human speech, heard the music of the deities – contemplative, blissful, full of mercy… and at the same time, it was the music imbued with the spirit of fighting the darkness.
Quartet No. 10. 1809. Napoleon is attacking Austria. Beethoven painfully feels the multiplication of the world evil. His hearing picks up not only musical overtones. Beethoven is a thinker, he is a musical Schopenhauer, Cervantes. None of his notes should be played just like that, without putting deep meaning into his music. Behind each of his notes there is not a just human thought clothed in logical forms and discursive passages, but the thought of the deity expressed in the language of musical vibrations!
Introduction to the first movement (slow Adagio) is a divine emanation of light. It expresses questioning, surprise, amazement… The forces of evil are almost invisible here. They are on a distant background, and the above-the-world battle against them is yet to come.
Beethoven is introduced into the Hall of Authentic Vision of History. He is reading the Book of Life… The gates of Divine Wisdom are opening, the Allegro is sounding. Distant past times open up before him, he sees everything as it really was. In meta-history, good always wins, only good wins!
The ways of the victory of good over evil are beyond rational calculation, unpredictable, but the victory of good is predetermined spiritually and philosophically. The forces of evil are metaphysically doomed. It is only necessary that people accumulate the power of good through deep work on themselves, internalize the statutes of the divine Universum and implement them in their life. Beethoven’s music expresses it absolutely convincingly!
Acutely feeling the theme of evil, Beethoven brilliantly uses the solar means of the victory of good over evil. Victory is not always achieved peacefully – sometimes you have to fight. True knights are always driven by the spirit of truth, love for people. Beethoven brilliantly shows it in his music. He is of small stature, strong build and has the spirit of Don Quixote. Like a knight with a spear on a white horse, he rushes into the battle with evil.
The first movement is full of whirlwinds of contradictory thoughts. The contrasts of forte and piano convey the state of the heart, the internal and external battle. The soul is tormented by contradictions. She is looking for an answer, and does not find it. There is an intense battle between the opposing spirits…
The second movement is one of the greatest Beethoven’s adagios. It is a prayer of the soul in the direct presence of the Mother of God in the Hall of Mercy Beyond the Limit and Love Beyond the Limit.
The outcome of the battle is resolved in the second movement. The soul, like a small fish, finds herself in the Ocean of Mercy Beyond the Limit, she realizes that everything what happens should be understood and perceived only in the aspect of this incomprehensible divine mercy.
The Hall of Mercy Beyond the Limit resolves all the questions! The soul understands here that the highest meaning of life, for which it is only worth living and suffering, is the comprehension of Kind Providence and entering into its spheres to live under its light!
What is Kind Providence, when fatality and evil reign around, when diseases, misfortunes, suffering, crises, disappointment haunt people?… it is impossible to conclude anything about Kind Providence only based on earthly reality, living in earthly finite time.
The highest meaning of human life is revealed to the soul in the Hall of Mercy Beyond the Limit. The soul sees there that she goes through temptations and hardships because her mysterious goal on the earth is to overcome low passions, delusions, get rid of deceptions coming from false ideas and thoughts, so that she might say one day – from now on I will have only kind thought, motives, deeds, and words – and the charisma of kindness starts shining on the soul like the cloud of pure light!
Millions of souls are introduced into the Hall of Mercy Beyond the Limit. What consolation they find there! Every soul, no matter how far she deviates from the prescribed paths, no matter how low she falls, eventually finds herself in the spheres of Mercy Beyond the Limit.
Only Beethoven, crucified on his auditory cross, on his acoustic Golgotha, could have written such a great adagio! He unbearably suffers: he writes music communicated to him from above, wants to hear it – and cannot! He remains alive thanks only to All-Merciful Divine Wisdom. She tells him, “There is no other way I can reveal this music to you. This music can be heard only by the deities in the heavens, and you live on the earth. That is why I deprived you of your physical hearing to give you heavenly hearing. Consider it an honor to you.”
Beethoven endlessly thanks the Queen of Heaven, though his suffering continues. And what a miracle: in his unbearable passionate state he is becoming kinder and kinder!
From the memoirs of a young musician: after his meeting with Beethoven he wrote, “What a kind man shook my hand! He is ill, grieving – but how much tenderness and love are in his eyes!”
Kindness is a gift of the Kind Heaven. Truly kind is the one, who is not content with earthly kindness, but acquires the cloud of purity, light, defeats illnesses, delusions, and other traps of this world. Those who reach the highest stage, become the earthly celestials – immortal and constantly renewing.
The voice of Supreme Love, the revelation of which Beethoven received in the Hall of Mercy Beyond the Limit, sounds in the music: “Millions, embrace! People, you are brothers! Forget about what separates you, all that is transitory and insignificant from the point of view of eternity. Live by loving each other!”
The voice of Divine Love becomes stronger and stronger and a wave of unearthly bliss embraces the listeners of the music. They hear the Hymn to the Universal Brotherhood. The universal brotherhood will open a new page in the history of humanity.
The Ninth symphony will appear only in 15 years. But Beethoven’s main theme “Millions, Embrace!” is brilliantly expressed already in his Quartet No. 10.
