In Peter Deunov's school, sound/music was a means to further the disciples' spiritual qualities. Under its influence, their minds became more open to the philosophical truths that the Master explains in his lectures. Here is what the Master said about the special role that was attributed to sound/music in the classes: "I use occult music so that the great Truth that I want to imprint in your minds may come."
Peter Dunov composed original music. He contributed more than 150 pieces to the Bulgarian musical legacy. His most prolific period was the second year from the establishment of the School (1923 - 1924). This is when he wrote a number of songs and musical exercises that he used in both the General and the Special Class. Each song was charged with energies/frequencies (currents of Sound, Light and Vibration or Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma) that acted on particular head centers. This is how the Master explained their essence: "These songs are created by the laws of the Music of the future (The Aquarian Age)".
They are characterized by purity of tone. They liberate man/woman of all confusion and of all inherited faults." As early as in 1922, Peter Dunov practiced musical therapy at the School with an excellent result: "I use music as a means to install harmony among you. Sometimes, when I go back home, I play a song and set things right. When I see you are confused I take my violin and start playing." The Master often talked about the meaning that music conveys, of its positive effect on life in general. "The music transforms the energies of the mind and the heart. It is a contact, a link between two worlds, the physical and the spiritual. Do not cut that link, or you will hinder the development of your mind and heart."
In every new thing people are not accustomed to, there is something frightening and threatening. "One day your ears will open and you will hear the majestic music wafting everywhere in the world, and then you will understand the meaning of life." The awakening of consciousness, the desire to penetrate the secrets of nature is the result of the wave of spiritual development that arrives with the Age of the Aquarius. The Master's music is a driving force in this process. Its vibrations carry new elements which, having once reached the human mind, help it open up to the reality of life.
"Music is not a source of amusement but a method for conscious work. It helps make the Word more understandable."
In his first lecture, the Master said: "The new culture (Aquarian Age) needs intelligent people. If you think that with your present ideas and beliefs you can enter the new culture, you are quite wrong." Problems are solved not in the classroom with the Master; the disciples' life is a series of examinations, and in its course, they had abundant opportunity to learn the cause and effect of natural laws. "Do not think that once you are in an occult school, your situation will improve. No, at first, consciously using Sound, Light and Vibration, things will deteriorate, and only then will it take a turn for the better.
