The Performance of the Self-Awareness in the Musical Process of Knowing


 
The situa­tion is com­pletely dif­fer­ent when our self-aware­ness is enli­vened in it­self, if we are also con­scious in re­spect to our self-aware­ness – if we are alert.

 
The Enlivened Self-Awareness of the Creative Music Listener
Emanating from our self-con­scious­ness we are then per­ma­nently crea­tive on the level of our mind, and by habit we dis­play the ex­tremely mani­fold in­ner force-pat­terns of our self-aware­ness on the sur­face of our mind with high accuracy.

 
The Self-Awareness as the Power Station for Energy and Intelligence
Natu­rally, from our state of in­ner self-aware­ness we have in­com­para­bly higher de­mands on our mind than the un­crea­tive mu­sic con­sumer de­scribed above.
And we see to it care­fully that the en­ergy re­quired to ful­fil these de­mands flows through our feel­ing to our mind, while the in­tel­li­gence re­quired flows to it through our un­der­stand­ing.

 
Si­mul­ta­ne­ously, we also sup­ply our sense of hear­ing via our in­tel­lect with the quali­ties of our feel­ing and with the quali­ties of our un­der­stand­ing, i.e. with en­ergy and in­tel­li­gence.

 
In ad­di­tion, how­ever, we must also pass on to our neu­ro­physi­ol­ogy those en­er­gies which flow from our pure self-aware­ness to our mind in a natu­ral flow of forces, and we must sup­ply it with at least as much en­ergy and in­tel­li­gence as is re­quired to enable it to for­ward the exact in­for­ma­tion about the spec­trum of the tone to our mind.

 
Supplying the Neurophysiology with Energy and Intelligence in the Musical Process of Cognition
Un­der these con­di­tions alone crea­tive mu­sic lis­ten­ing is pos­si­ble; only now can our mind suc­ceed in ex­actly rep­re­sent­ing the tonal event which has been per­ceived from out­side by our outer ear so that we are able to per­ceive it clearly with our in­ner sense of hear­ing, and to trans­mit it to our in­tel­lect undis­torted.

 
Enhancing the Performance of the Neurophysiology in Music
From these ex­plana­tions it is ob­vi­ous that – in ac­cor­dance with the na­ture of the in­ner func­tion of our tools of cog­ni­tion – the achieve­ment of crea­tive hear­ing can­not be brought about by outer mu­sic hear­ing, but only by the proc­ess of a sys­tem­atic in­ner in­crease of per­form­ance in our tools of cog­ni­tion them­selves.
And this in­crease of per­form­ance origi­nates from our self-con­scious­ness, ex­pands in a natu­ral flow of en­ergy and in­tel­li­gence to our in­tel­lect, to our feel­ing and un­der­stand­ing, ex­tends from there to our sense of hear­ing and our mind, and fi­nally, pro­ceed­ing from there, en­hances the func­tion of our neu­ro­physi­ol­ogy.

 
The Natural Increase of Knowledge from Within
This in­sight con­tra­dicts the rou­tine of the con­ven­tional In­sti­tu­tions for mu­sic edu­ca­tion which strug­gle for an in­crease in audi­tory per­form­ance by chal­leng­ing, and in­deed exhausting, the lis­tener with ever new, outer acous­tic events.

 
Conventional Lack of Understanding towards the Natural Mechanism of the Coordinated Tools of Cognition
To achieve a genu­ine, well-founded in­crease of per­form­ance of our hear­ing, the na­ture-given mecha­nism of our tools of cog­ni­tion re­quires by its de­sign and by its natu­ral func­tion, an in­crease of such per­form­ance from within.
