What is "Music of the Spheres?" Music of the spheres is a way of referring to the ancient mathematical alignments within the structure of music itself that follows and flows with the greater movements of the cosmos and with the inner and outer beauty of nature Herself. When combined, these essential rhythms transport us into deeper, richer, fuller expressions and experiences of ourselves, of one another and of the Divine Source within us each and all. In a word, such sublime compositions gather us up into a single, synergist, transcendent embrace, and for a short time, we can experience the essence of unconditional love, compassion, beauty and oneness.
In Michael speak, this "transcendent embrace" would reflect a fully present, engaged and directly accessed essence contact experience through the auspices of the higher emotional and perhaps also, at times, the higher moving centered functions, which allows us to partake of the ultimate experience of compassionate oneness, beauty and pure, living presence in all of its radiant glory. This music is here to further assist you in accessing the higher emotional and secondarily, the higher moving centers more easily and readily, and also to allow additional opportunities for you to validate your own experiences of this center, which you may have already encountered on many occasions, but may not have viewed in quite this light before now. Opportunities for higher centered experiences abound, and along with them come greater opportunities for essence contact recognition and validation to occur, if we are awake and aware of the potential that exists there right beneath our very noses.
Higher centered experiences are much more well-integrated, blended and synergistically based than are the three lower, physical plane centered experiences, and can be immensely transformative, but are rarely sustainable, by their very nature. As the old saying goes, "what goes up must come down," is true of such higher centered experiences. We are not meant nor intended to live our entire lives within the higher centered functions, however, they are incredibly attractive and can even become an addictive experience to some, due to their innately "trance-end-dance" affect upon our physical plane perceptions and often far more mundane daily life experiences.
There are now well over 60 songs on this page that each offer what I would consider the potential to uplift, to transform and ultimately, to transcend the ordinary and touch into the sublime, if even for just a moment or two....or perhaps even longer, if you so choose. Plus, it's just plain really great music in, of and by itself! (All of the above comments and good spiritualist intentions not withstanding! ;-)
