Is
music a “balance” of intellect and emotion? Music seems to be an
attempt to order emotions. Emotions come from the ancient dominant
part of the brain system. The intellect or neocortex is newer and it
tries to understand ancient emotions. But to dominate emotions with
intellect? Music is more the intellect harmonizing with emotions,
like a jockey riding a horse, only this horse is not really broken to
the will of the rider-intellect, even if we are arrogant enough to
think so.
But something is missing from intellect and emotion,
and it is the activation of material life by the material Will or
Tirips within. Life is shaped by outside evolution and also
activated inside by the Will or Tirips to materially evolve toward
ascending levels of Godhood. Is the path to the Sacred in art to
harmonize all three: emotion, intellect and Tirips, but then to
concede leadership to Tirips? I suppose it is the intellect that
harmonizes and understands it all this way, which does make the
intellect a powerful element in this dynamic. But it is an
affirmation by the intellect of emotions more than control by the
intellect that is happening with music...Is great music an attempt to
find the order of the Sacred? That also describes the evolution of life toward Godhood.
