Every intelligent being should be capable of traversing that hazardous part of the
evolutionary path as quickly as possible — and of avoiding the delays or detours of
false and deceptive temptations. The ability to distinguish "true" from "false" may
come too late or not at all, thus causing stumbling blocks for most of us. Here the
saying, "better late than never" is not valid. A spirit has a certain "window of
opportunity," limited in time, within which specific qualitative changes must take
place.

In order to accomplish this the brain must accumulate a certain volume and

quantity of information. This is the only way a spirit can "open" to the next level of
development. But what kind of beguiling temptations does modern civilization offer
our younger generation?

Far more than the promotion of violence and the "easy life," which bombards
the younger generation through the mass media, an even stronger influence on their
evolutionary development is at work through the medium of music. It is no secret that
different age groups have different musical tastes. Not too many people can guess the
reason for this.

It is simply that the self-same music can have an entirely different effect upon
people, de-pending on their evolutionary level. When one listens to music, he does
more than hear it: actually his spirit becomes attuned to the impact of the various
frequencies and rhythms. Somehow music imparts certain qualitative states to the
spirit that may either be in harmony with it or totally incompatible.

In the first instance, one feels an inner stirring or joy, which can reach the level
of ecstasy. If the music resonates with his sexual feelings, it can lead to orgasm.
Women are more sensitive to music, because the qualitative structure of the female
spirit is very labile and easily transformed by its influence. Concomitantly, the
reaction occurs at a subconscious level and is uncontrollable consciously.

When disharmony exists between the music and the spirit's qualitative structure,
a subject experiences irritation or other emotional reactions which impel him to stop
listening. Such a response to music is a protective reaction. Let us try to understand
why such a response arises.
As we know, sounds (particularly musical sounds) are composed of longitudinal
waves. Like any other wave, they change the dimensionality of their space by a
certain value. Sound waves, be-cause of their parameters, impact the dimensionality
level of the macrospace in the local volume of space. Even very insignificant
changes of the macro-space dimensionality cause redistribution of the primary
matters impinging upon the given volume of space.

As a result, the quantitative distribution of primary matters changes in the
local volume of space upon which the sound waves impinge.

A spiritual body saturated with primary matters in a zone of musical sound
waves invariably undergoes change. Sound waves have the biggest impact on the
astral body by creating an addition-al saturation of primary matters G and F; these
manifest in the subject's emotional reaction to the sounds of the music. Low
frequency sounds excessively flood the astral body with G matter, which, in the male,
manifests as sexuality and aggression. It is no coincidence that, to most women, the
low range of a man's voice is part of his sexual image, his sexuality. The low range
