Beethoven on Buddha, Symphonies, and Politics

Beethoven, the Heart of Western Culture has come forward with this to say,

“In this moment of humanity’s greatest hour, it is with some amazement that I take this opportunity to expound upon some virtues which I deem pertinent to the situation. Never would I guess that this mode of communication would be possible, but the uniqueness has been achieved by the one currently transforming the messages from thought-forms to typewritten words.

Long have I sought to say just one more thing: Take the whole of every moment with seriousness of purpose and sincerity of intent. It is our job as holy conduits to inspire each other to seek higher and higher states of consciousness. Since crossing over, I have become aware of the teachings of the Buddha and have even had the rare opportunity to walk in the Garden of Lao Tzu.

On a personal note, I encourage you to listen once more to the symphonies of mine that often get passed by: “2” and “4”. “5” was a successful exercise in composition that has been thrust forward because it can be understood by even the dullest of individuals. “9” has been long hailed because of its universality and choral power. Also associated with “9” is the oft repeated story of my deafness while conducting. Is it so remarkable for a musician to hear his own composition in his head? I so wish this fact would be less emphasized, because for me it was mere detail. “7” is a favorite and the highest form of my art on Earth.

As for your political crisis, I shall speak from my own experience. I loved Napoleon and believed he would establish a free nation where art and music would inspire an enlightened population. When he turned out to be yet another brave fool lost on the way, I remembered that only I can create my reality.”
