65) “In the etheric body are centered the forces animating man’s physical vehicle, so disease is evidenced in the etheric before it manifests in the physical. The etheric, composed of finer, more attenuated substances than the physical, is corresponding amenable to vibratory influences. It is upon the former that harmony and rhythm have the most potent effect. Good music readjusts its molecular structure in accordance with the original divine plan, the archetype, and refines and accentuates it’s vibratory currents. All forms of beauty and harmony increase this regenerating process.”
Corinne Heline (1882-1975)

80) “At a certain stage of our progressive attainment, every Initiate undergoes an “Illumination by Sound” in which the Music of the Spheres becomes to us a living reality. When the magical powers of sound are rediscovered and scientifically directed to the specific purpose of healing… and when man has learned how to release the mantraic powers embodied in such inspired utterances, he will master the energies transcending even those unleashed by the atomic physicist of today. They will be energies of yet another and higher dimension.”
Corinne Heline (1882-1975)
81) Insanity is the rebellion of a person against certain experiences over which he has no control. The conscious mind center in the cortex (upper brain) is the area where mental disease becomes established. The seat of feelings and emotions is in the lower brain. The latter it appears, is not involved in mental maladies. Music affects and influences a patient through this lower brain center. Musical therapy meets NO barriers in mental derangement cases as does the written or spoken word that works through the upper or conscious area.
Dr. Altschuler (1942)
82) “…man is a musical being. His origin is in the spoken Word. By sound was he sustained and by music he evolved. One day he will recognize music as a vital factor in the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual evolution of the whole human race.”
Corinne Heline (1882-1975)
