Music brings people together. Materialistic Science explains it as a factor in human groups evolution, an advantage for survival. This theory is supported by a research published by the Cambridge University in 2020.
A doctoral thesis from the University of Oslo investigate further with live experiments showing that the musicians’ heartbeat synchronized as they played. The audience is also synchronizing at certain moments.
How do we perceive music ? The Voice of the Silence says : “Before the Soul can see, the harmony within must be attained”, and Light on the Path : “Before the ear can hear it must have lost its sensitiveness.” Music teaches that, instead of separateness, one can cultivate Unity, because every human can produce but a part in the great Symphony of human life. Never will physical ear hear the beauty of that highest expression of soul-life, unless human rises to the point where spiritual life opens its portals for him and touches the soul with the magic wand which awakens at once the spiritual senses, so that : “The seventh [sound] swallows all other sounds” (The Voice of the Silence).
