Some of the more progressive hospitals are engaging musicians as full-time members of their regular staff. This expansion of the art of music into constructive usage is entirely in keeping with preparation for the coming Aquarian Air Age, and has long been predicted by occult scientists. The most successful practitioners of the New Age will consider man's invisible vehicles together with his physical body as making up a complete unit, for it is upon the inner or finer vehicles that musical therapy produces its most potent effects. Paracelsus, the noted occult physician of the sixteenth century said that the true healer looks not for causes in the visible but seeks to understand the invisible. All life is a vibration. Vibration is the key to the secret of both health and sickness, youth and old age, death and its ultimate surrender to immortality. The fundamental condition underlying man's well-being is harmony. In obedience to the Law of Harmony, man was made in the image of God. Had he continued to function in attunement with that law, physical imperfections and diseases would have been unknown to him. Trends of the New Day point to man's acceptance of this universal truth along with an inner realization that it is within his own divine power to recreate, here and now, conditions in accordance with the initial pattern. One of the noblest of all arts, music, is in the vanguard of this most glorious work: the perfection of man by means of reawakening the divinity within.
