The music theory stuff, as far as it goes—not all that far—is, as I noted earlier, as old as Pythagoras. There have been a few refinements since then, which josepp's screed simply skips over.

As to the mystical "Music of the Spheres" stuff, that, too, is as old as the hills. Superstition and speculation back in the days of Thales, Aristotle, Socrates, et al. This stuff, as josepp presents it, is thoroughly lathered with bits and pieces from Madame Blavatsky, the Rosicrucians (ads in "Horoscope" magazine), and a guy who used to run around in a burnoose, give lectures on what he claimed were the teachings of the ancient Coptic religion, and who also claimed to have reincarnated more than a thousand times and said he remembered each of those lives. (THIS is the guy!!). He financed himself through lecture fees, and by selling vitamins. And, allegedly, bilking gullible, blue-haired ladies out of their Social Security money. Begged for contributions to keep his great work of trying to Enlighten the World going.

What's to be jealous of? Something akin to pity and contempt is more appropriate.

P. S. josepp probably even channels Shirley MacLaine. You remember, she was the actress who went mystical and said she was channeling an ancient Atlantean warrior.
