Received by F.A.B.
I am here, Beethoven.
I come tonight to convey a message regarding the musical experience
in the Celestial Heavens. As I mentioned at the end of my previous
message, there are some Celestial spirits who are fairly consumed
with music, of which I am one. These spirits partake of music in
a different way. That is, it seems to mean more, even though to
all Celestial spirits music is deeply satisfying. I am not implying
any value judgments - there is no "better," since all
are equal. But it is noticed that the effect of music is somehow
deeper, somehow more complete with these particular spirits.
Celestial spirits have in common with mortals the diversity of
gifts.
Some of the former have gifts in organization and administration.
Others
naturally assume prominent leadership roles because it is their
nature to do
so. And so, in a similar way, some Celestial spirits display a passion
for
music that is uncommon even here.
I know it is hard for me to communicate ways of being that are
essentially foreign to mortals, but it should be easy to understand
this
musical passion, since some mortals display this gift. Our ways
of being are
different from yours, since we are no longer subject to the material
laws of
the mortal life. Yet the common ground is in the soul development,
that is,
the perception that soul can understand life better than mind. When
a mortal
understands that music proceeds from the soul, and that when music
moves
someone, it is the elevation of the soul that is felt, then that
mortal will
more readily understand the subject of my message tonight. This
subject is
difficult to treat in your earthly language.
Let me use an analogy. It's the difference between seeing a person
in
front you, and knowing and loving that same person. There is truth
in both
perceptions. Yet the second example goes so much deeper because
it partakes
of another dimension, the dimension of love. And when this love
is actually
in the New Birth soul condition, the dimensions change astronomically.
(January 29, 2003)
I will finish my message of two days ago. As I was saying, we here
in the
Celestial Heavens always honor any musical expression that comes
our way.
There is a feeling that our lives are music, for we are able to
integrate
the musical themes and ideas in such a way that we have a blissful
experience. And this experience becomes permanently attached to
our soul -
in other words, it gives us insight and helps us grow.
Though you are keenly aware of the limitations in my conveying
to mortals
what it is like in the Celestial Heavens, it was felt by us that
an attempt
should be made. As your soul grows in the Love, it will become easier
and
easier to receive and grasp what I may attempt to say. But for now,
we are
pleased that you are at least trying, and that you recognize your
responsibility.
Let me close here. Have a peaceful and fulfilling
evening.
Love, Beethoven
