The 'music of the spheres'?

[Ecclectic79]

I'm bringing this up in reference to the Platonist and Neoplatonist claims of being able to hear or see the 'music of the spheres' - ie. the influences exerted by them. From what I understand, as people come increasingly in tune with the laws of the universe they come in contact with this as a function of clairvoyance.

Has anyone else here done research and come to an opinion?

Doctor Who - Music of the Spheres (Live) - YouTube

This is the only time I've heard of it. xD I think it's a very interesting concept.

I haven't heard about that, but the video was interesting.

Clairvoyance isn't real is it.

Clairvoyance isn't real is it.

Around here I suppose it would be vogue to say that its demons looking for ways to influence impressionable people into believing they have powers. For as much as I've seen though and for as much as I've read on those who either naturally had it or were 'initiated' or even back in my wayward days of talking to mediums - it would take a huge leap of faith to go atheist and claim that it isn't real. Could just by my own credulity though.

I have read in scientific articles that the planets do actually make a noise like musical notes which bounce off one planet to another, and they can be detected somehow. But I don't know.

Psalm 19:1
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.

yeah. I always got a kick out of Paul's statement in 1 Corinthians as well about all the different glories - the glories of the planets, the glory of the sun, the glory of the stars, all stars having a different glory. In a funny way it almost reads as if he's subtly disclosing that the stars might be other suns.

If by clairvoyance you mean talking to dead people, I would think it makes more sense to think that the medium is either deceiving themselves, deceiving others, or just doing it for entertainment.

I have no idea what mystics and 'clairvoyants' have done with the idea, but originally, the idea was that the planets were in some sort of celestial harmony. Not exactly in the musical sense, but more that all the orbits and periods of the planets were in some sort of mathematical proportion.
