Day 31 Session 01: Music & Consciousness by Ladislav Brozman

About the Session

European culture gave me my professional knowledge to become a classical violinist, which put order to my outer workings. It is India that gave me the understanding of what is involved in invisible terms of what we understand under the term universal consciousness that put order to the inner action. The two together were necessary to form that which I can share and do as a teacher in the ashram school. These two realities become one in action and by means of knowledge and an inner opening to higher realities let us enter into the mystery of creation and creativity.

Music in this sense is a mantra constantly giving the whole self to the Creating Consciousness in order to make possible a path of that Consciousness to express itself through the individual. This session is an exploration of the relationship between music and the movements of Consciousness.
