44:1.1 With the limited range of [[mortal]] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Senses#Audition hearing], you can hardly [[conceive]] of [[morontia]] [[melodies]]. There is even a [[material]] range of [[beautiful]] [[sound]] unrecognized by the [[human]] [[sense]] of hearing, not to mention the inconceivable scope of [[morontia]] and [[spirit]] [[harmony]]. Spirit melodies are not [[material]] [[sound]] [[waves]] but spirit [[pulsation]]s [[received]] by the spirits of [[celestial]] [[personalities]]. There is a vastness of range and a [[soul]] of [[expression]], as well as a grandeur of [[execution]], [[associated]] with the [[melody]] of the [[spheres]], that are wholly beyond [[human]] [[comprehension]]. I have seen millions of enraptured [[beings]] held in [[sublime]] [[ecstasy]] while the [[melody]] of the realm rolled in upon the [[spirit]] [[energy]] of the [[celestial]] [[circuits]]. These [[marvelous]] [[melodies]] can be [[broadcast]] to the uttermost parts of a [[universe]].

44:1.2 The [[celestial]] [[musician]]s are occupied with the production of [[celestial]] [[harmony]] by the [[manipulation]] of the following [[spirit]] [[forces]]:

44:1.4 [[Harmony]], the [[music]] of the [[seven]] [[levels]] of melodious [[association]], is the one [[universal]] code of [[spirit]] [[communication]]. [[Music]], such as [[Urantia]] [[mortals]] [[understand]], [[attains]] its highest [[expression]] in the schools of [[Jerusem]], the [[system headquarters]], where semimaterial [[beings]] are taught the [[harmonies]] of [[sound]]. [[Mortals]] do not [[react]] to the other [[forms]] of [[morontia]] [[melody]] and [[celestial]] [[harmony]].

44:1.5 [[Appreciation]] of [[music]] on [[Urantia]] is both [[physical]] and [[spiritual]]; and your [[human]] musicians have done much to elevate musical [[taste]] from the barbarous monotony of your early [[ancestors]] to the higher levels of [[sound]] [[appreciation]]. The [[majority]] of [[Urantia]] [[mortals]] react to [[music]] so largely with the material muscles and so slightly with the [[mind]] and [[spirit]]; but there has been a steady improvement in musical [[appreciation]] for more than [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_76#76:4._THE_VIOLET_RACE thirty-five thousand years].

44:1.6 Tuneful syncopation [[represents]] a [[transition]] from the musical monotony of [[primitive]] man to the [[expression]]ful [[harmony]] and [[meaningful]] melodies of your later-day musicians. These earlier [[types]] of [[rhythm]] stimulate the [[reaction]] of the music-loving sense without entailing the exertion of the higher [[intellectual]] [[powers]] of [[harmony]] [[appreciation]] and thus more generally appeal to immature or spiritually indolent [[individuals]].

44:1.8 While you have assembled some [[beautiful]] [[melodies]] on [[Urantia]], you have not [[progressed]] musically nearly so far as many of your [[neighboring]] [[planets]] in [[Satania]]. If [[Adam and Eve]] had only [[survived]], then would you have had [[music]] in [[reality]]; but the gift of [[harmony]], so large in their [[natures]], has been so diluted by strains of unmusical tendencies that only once in a thousand [[mortal]] lives is there any great [[appreciation]] of [[harmonics]]. But be not discouraged; some day a real musician may appear on [[Urantia]], and whole peoples will be enthralled by the [[magnificent]] strains of his [[melodies]]. One such [[human being]] could forever [[change]] the [[course]] of a whole nation, even the entire civilized world. It is [[literally]] true, "[[melody]] has [[power]] a whole world to [[transform]]." Forever, [[music]] will remain the [[universal]] [[language]] of [[men]], [[angels]], and [[spirits]]. [[Harmony]] is the [[speech]] of [[Havona]].
