Guest guest Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 U are on the right track! Here is only one of the Google references to the Masonic implications. Here is the link: Mozart’s Magic Flute It was the author of the libretto but Mozart was also apparently a Mason n member of a Secret Brotherhood. If u google Mozart Magic Flute Masons u will get a raft of references, but the link above seems excellent! Good luck! love ao Greetings Forum, Might someone be able to help me please ! I am doing a study on the alchemical meaning of Mozart's last opera, "The Magic Flute". Has anyone ever seen an interpretation of this opera ? Has Jung ever tried an interpretation on it? I am at the moment stuck on the meaning of the "Flute". The Flute having been given to him from the (air) that saves him from trouble every time he plays it.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Is this original from somewhere, can you please tell me from where ? All Best to Everyone, Steve Hi Steve, This is just a humorous line from my Rocky and Bullwinkle Flute and Gong side show act during the annual Telepathic Productions shows held each spring around these parts. I'm starting to branch out into other comedy routines these days picking up on some old country western songs on my banged up Willie 44 magnum guitar,,,got a sound big enough to blow a hole out, the size of Carnegie Hall. Wink! Cheers, Muttonchops! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Greetings Mike, Carol, IonaDove, and Everyone, Thank you for your help. I did find something on Krishna that helps out allot. "Krishna is pictured in Hindu symbology with a crown of peacock's feathers, playing the flute. Krishna is the ideal of divine love, the God of love. And the divine love expresses itself by entering into man and filling his whole being. Therefore the flute is the human heart, and a heart which is made hollow will become a flute for the God of love to play upon. When the heart is not empty, in other words, when there is not scope in the heart, there is no place for love. Rumi, the great poet of Persia, explains this idea more clearly. He says the pains and sorrows the soul experiences through life, are like holes made in a reed flute, and it is by making these holes that a player makes the flute out of a reed. This means that the heart of man is first a reed, and the sufferings and pains it goes through make it a flute, which can then be used by God as the instrument for the music that He constantly wishes to produce. But as every reed is not a flute, so every heart is not His instrument. As the reed can be made into a flute, so the human heart can be turned into an instrument, and can be offered to the God of love. It is the human heart which becomes the harp of the angels; it is the human heart which is known as the lute of Orpheus. It was on the model of the heart of man that the first instrument of music was made, and no earthly instrument can produce that music which the heart produces, raising the mortal soul to immortality." Crowspeak wrote, "I dun told her I'd flute her,,but she didn't believe me,,Why!! Why didn't she believe me??? I've also got a GONG!!!!! Don't make me use it! :)" Is this original from somewhere, can you please tell me from where ?

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 There's a line in one of the songs of the bengali Baul mystics that says: 'I am His breath in His very flute, and should He play but one note, I shall be happy all the days of life'... whence my initial suggestion that the flute is his 'self'. mike-- If you meditate on compassion and the attitude of enlightenment, your mind will be blessed.
