Music is a trinity of Life. The power of the Father is established by the rhythm. The melody becomes the intelligence of the Son. And the harmony, the embellishment, becomes the Holy Spirit. | Music is a trinity of Life. The power of the Father is established by the rhythm. The melody becomes the intelligence of the Son.

Music, then, is a power that can be used for good or for evil, and it is a controlling factor of civilization and its trends. Aristotle said, “The introduction of a new kind of music should be shunned as imperiling the whole state since styles of music are never disturbed without affecting the most important political institutions.” It has been said, “It doesn’t matter who writes the laws as long as the one who controls is able to write the music of a nation.” | Music, then, is a power that can be used for good or for [[evil]], and it is a controlling factor of civilization and its trends.

Priests and priestesses who tended the flame of Mother on the altars of [[Lemuria]] knew the sacred science of sound and of rhythm. There came a darkening era of rebellion against the light of the Mother, a perversion of the flame as priests and priestesses perverted both the sound and the rhythm. By the misuse of sound and rhythm, cataclysm was unleashed from this Maha Kali, the Mother force, and thus the ancient memory of the sinking of the continent of Lemuria by fire and volcanic eruption. | Priests and priestesses who tended the flame of Mother on the altars of [[Lemuria]] knew the sacred science of sound and of rhythm.

Out of the Mother flame comes the rhythm of all rhythm. The Mother flame is located in the base chakra at the base of the spine. It is a white sphere of light sealed until we meditate upon this energy for its rising upon the spinal altar. As these petals begin to turn by the action of our meditation and the sounding of the Word, they manifest the rhythms of life: 4/4, 3/4, 6/8, 2/4, 12/8, 5/4, 7/4 and 12/4. The basis of four in all of these rhythms comes out of the Mother as fire, air, water and earth—the foundation of our pyramid of life. | Out of the Mother flame comes the rhythm of all rhythm.

In the 4/4 rhythm, we feel the release of Mother energy in a disciplined cycle, and the wheel of the chakra begins to turn. Out of the turning is produced the 3/4 time that is the beating of the heart. Three-quarter time is the rhythm of Alpha and Omega in the T’ai Chi, whirling in the center of the heart. Out of this whirling energy worlds are framed. | In the 4/4 rhythm, we feel the release of Mother energy in a disciplined cycle, and the wheel of the chakra begins to turn.
