Gnostic Question of the Week

Why is Mozart's "The Magic Flute" so important for our Gnostic studies?

Answer from the V.M. Samael Aun Weor.

"The Initiate loves the music of the great classics and feels repugnance for the childish music of certain vulgar people, such as porros, rumbas, cumbias, and others, which only denigrate the human personality.

The Initiate loves the music of great composers; for example, Mozart's The Magic Flute; it reminds us of an Initiation this great composer had in Egypt.

The Soul communes with the music of the spheres when it listens to Beethoven's symphonies, or Chopin's ineffable melodies, or so many other classical compositions."

Samael Aun Weor. Excerpt from the book: Perfect Matrimony for Kindergarten.

Answer from the magazine "The The wisdom of the Being.".

One of Mozart's marvelous works is "The Magic Flute," which, if we listen to it with complete attention, we become ecstatic, feeling as if we are transported to another dimension.

This work, an Egyptian story from Atlantis, is more than a wonderful love story; it is something that exists within ourselves, here and now, within each person's psychology. It comes to symbolize a struggle between the forces of good and evil.

It reveals many ancient and sacred teachings, speaking to us of the importance of words, the extraordinary power of love in triumphing over evil, and the worship of our inner Parents, who are our guide to emerging from ignorance.

This marvelous work highlights the sacredness of sound toward the Divine. We find Kabbalah, alchemy, magic, the psychology of self-knowledge, and Hermetic philosophy.

Through each scene, surrounded by a sonorous atmosphere, he shows us the many psychological errors that hinder us and also the virtues we must develop throughout our existence, for our own self-knowledge, to find the path that leads us to the path of initiation. Initiation is our very existence, intensely lived, that mysterious path that leads us to discover the truth, leads us to the light of immortal wisdom, but directed toward self-perfection.
