The workings of natural science are being used by denizens of the invisible worlds to increase and accelerate avenues of communication between inner and outer planes. Among the most interesting and fascinating of these New Age wonders is a recent invention — or rather, spiritual discovery — named the Auroratone, the manifestations of which are designated as "painting with light."
It differs from the usual color-organ. Not only does it produce a concert of musical masterpieces in both sound and color, but it creates conditions conducive to looking into "higher" realms than those of form and color, thus enabling one to discern thought forms which animated the creations and inspired the original con ceptions of their composers.
We have been teaching for many years, both by the spoken and written word, that the chief purpose of Richard Wagner's celestial music will be discovered only when it is used in healing groups or by esoteric students to awaken and stimulate certain vital spiritual centers in the body. This work is particularly effective during that holy interval between the Christmas and Easter Seasons.
Thought forms around which the Evening Star from Tannhauser is builded revealed white stars massed around a feminine figure robed in white. With the final notes, the figure and stars merged together into a seemingly infinite silver sea. This becomes doubly significant when we realize that the key lesson of Tannhauser is regeneration through purity.
The Lohengrin Prelude revealed hosts of Angels grouped around an ethereal white cup standing like a luminous, transparent lily. As the celestial music soared into its mighty climax, there appeared a golden Sun filled with Beings of a still higher order: Sun Beings who poured golden rays upon the Angelic Hosts as they stood in adoration, with outstretched and uplifted hands to receive this sparkling, golden, effulgence which they in turn focused upon the lily cup as a love gift to man.
As Parsival holds the Good Friday mystery, so Lohengrin contains that of Holy Thursday and the Last Supper.
Through this instrument and other inventions the real purpose of these beautiful, holy mysteries of the Church will be revealed — no longer as mere ceremonialisms but as magical images depicting definite steps in the spiritual progress of man.
A part of Debussey's music is to make man aware of the reality of nature spirits and their close relationship to humanity. They are all about us, and we will know of their presence if we have eyes to see and ears to hear. Debussey's music is an aid to this awakening.
This composer's Le Clair de Lune reveals these etheric beings of fairy kingdoms engaged in various forms of activity. Salamanders, or fire spirits, are seen resolving themselves into a huge gleaming ball, through which they swirl and dance like hosts of minute incandescent sparks. Sylphs, or air spirits, assume the form of a tenuous, floating Grail Cup from which they pour lovely "airy essences" upon earth sprites. Then the latter fashion themselves into a great golden heart whose modulated beats seem to pronounce a tender, multicolored benediction which rays forth from the hearts of multitudes at prayer. Undines, or water spirits, are seen leaping and floating through softly weaving waterfalls in an endless variety of singing colors that reverberate in vast rhythmic rainbows.
The Auroratone opens the door to further miracles belonging to the coming air-age music. It furthers the work of Scriabin, the magic color musician, and deepens appreciation for "between world" composers such as Debussey and Ravel. Most important of all is the fact that this instrument, by reason. of its new motion picture activity, will touch and influence masses of people with its New Age inspirations; thus it will open up new and ever widening oportunities for the development of new processes of healing and spiritual awakening by means of color and music.
In Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, the massed cosmic forces that play upon the earth become visible as magnificent auric emanations of color. They assume various forms on contacting earth's atmos phere, resembling the more beautiful and constructive thought forms projected into the atmosphere by mankind. Their power and radiance, however, greatly exceed anything that humanity can produce.
The higher auric envelopes of earth are flooded at all times with these supernal radiances. It is from them that high spiritual inspiration is drawn for miraculous healings and noble deeds of courage and valor in times of crisis. This was the source of the "etheric visions" described by Raphael, which he immortalized upon his canvasses. It was there also that Beethoven attuned his consciousness to the music of the spheres and then translated something of their harmonies to the earth-world so that man, upon hearing them, might be lifted a little higher Godward.
Beethoven was the Initiate-musician who described in his glorious symphonies some of the mysteries of nature and the intimate relationship between the earth and those great Beings of light who minister about the throne of God. One can catch something of this glory when listening to a great orchestra's rendition of any of his sublime symphonies.
New Age inventions will make pictured tone poems more meaningful to every attentive listener and spectator. "Visible music" is destined to play an important role in the ministry of the beautiful in our world of tomorrow. Its influence will contribute substantially toward increasing man's sensitivity and receptivity to the higher and finer values of life, thus hastening the dissemination of larger and wider knowledge of the deeper mysteries of God and the infinite provisions He has made for enabling man to enter into a more gracious state here and now.
Perhaps the transcendental beauty of a color-tone concert attains its full climax in the presentation of John Charles Thomas singing The Lord's Prayer by Albert Hay Malotte. The opening salutation and Amen benediction were marked by bursts of spectrum colors in their clearest and most translucent shadings. The song in its entirety was dominated by a figure of the Christ hovering in blessing among penitants representing various nationalities of the world, all in their respective postures of prayer. This demonstrates the truth that the Lord's Prayer is rightly termed the Universal Petition.
The familiar Hoffman figure of Christ in Gethsemane was chosen as most appropriate to place within the magnificent aura of kaleidoscopic colors formed by Mr. Thomas' singing of the words which climax the Prayer so it was used in the first motion picture film to be produced. The Auroratone has extended its benediction of beauty and service to bring solace and upliftment to both body and soul of the men in our fighting forces upon far-flung battlefields throughout the world.
So far it is the most important tangible evidence we possess of physical healing through the combined ministry of music and color, a ministry that will come into full manifestation in the New Age, as long since proclaimed by spiritual scientists. It was not invented for purposes of healing. That it possesses such powers was as much a surprise to the inventor as it was to those who, upon witnessing its color-music productions, found themselves healed as by a miracle. Writes one person who experienced such healing: "I look forward to a future wherein we may have Clinics where illness and distress of body, mind and spirit, may be transmuted into health, bouyancy and happiness by the power of Musical Color Harmony."
Among the many unsolicited communications relative to healings unexpectedly received through mere attendance at a recital, the following may be taken as representative of the truly miraculous service the color organ is capable of performing in the field of therapeutics. The letter reads in part as follows:
Four years ago I was taken ill with severe pains in my left breast, which condition was definitely diagnosed by the doctors as cancer of the left breast. These doctors suggested that I take radium treat ments, but as I had heard of many others who had taken such treat ments without encouraging results, I did not take them myself.
On this memorable afternoon in question, I sat listening to beautiful music and watching the entrancing colors weave them selves into indescribable patterns. As the color recital continued, I became dimly conscious that something was happening inside my body, particularly in the region of my stomach and my left side. Then, at the presentation of The Lord's Prayer, as sung by John Charles Thomas to the beautiful music written by Albert Hay Ma/latte, I suddenly became aware that I was actually a completely healed woman.
I went to the doctors for an examination after this amazing experience, and they were puzzled to find that the cancerous lump which had filled my left breast had entirely disappeared.
This was not the only miracle which took place on that afternoon two years ago. For some time I had been the victim of severe painful spasms of the intestines, and I also suffered from a bad eye condition. Both of these afflictions cleared up at the same time as the cancer. That joyful experience took place two years ago, and I have had no sign of any return of any of the conditions since that time.
I do not even pretend to know just what took place in detail on that outstanding afternoon, while I was under the influence of that wonderful Auroratone presentation of Music in Color. All I know is that I was completely healed of cancer right there immediately, all trace having suddenly disappeared, and that God must have been working in a mysterious way, for I am a happy, healthy, pain free woman once again.
A concert was given for patients in the Los Angeles County General Hospital with most gratifying results, as the following report indicates:
The large auditorium was cleared of all chairs and the patients were wheeled in. Some of them could not raise their heads and nurses had to put extra pillows under their heads so that they could see the screen which was hung high up near the ceiling. The reaction was tremendous. Many of them cried for happiness and the chorus of "God bless you!" was general. The hospital chaplain reported the following day that all of the patients said they slept soundly and many added that they heard the music and saw the floating colors in their dreams all through the night.
The color-music of this Aquarian instrument is being success fully used by St. Tomas Hospital in London, England, and from there is being sent to all parts of the British Isles. A special film has been sent to St. Anne's Hospital, Juneau, Alaska, and Father Hubbard, "The Glacier Priest," sees "immense possibilities" for its healing service and is carrying its ministry to army hospitals in the Aleutians.
Government psychiatrists are contemplating the production of specially prepared music-color films for use in treatment of men who have not been hurt physically, but whose minds have become affected by strain, explosions, fear of battle experiences, and so on. Much interest has been aroused in this experiment.
Ever increasing are the marvels of the New Aquarian Age. Truly, eye hath not seen nor ear heard the wonders which God hath prepared for those that love Him.
