Dr. Mark Pretorius A metaphysical and neuropsychological assessment of musical tones to affect the brain, relax the mind and heal the body

 Thank you Dr. Mark Pretorius for you recent article, A metaphysical and neuropsychological assessment of musical tones to affect the brain, relax the mind and heal the body." I actually just discovered your work in relation to the spiritual teachings of Paul but my focus has been what I have called "Restoring the Lost Logos" (one name of my master's thesis section from University of Minnesota, 2000). I have an academia site that lists my master's thesis but also my recently published peer-reviewed academic paper on this topic of music as meditation for spiritual healing, in relation to philosophy of science. It was published in the 2024 December issue of the academic journal "Cosmos and History" and I reposted it on my articles section.

Sorry to write such a long message to you but I attended a Swedish Covenant Christian middle school and high school in Minneapolis Minnesota where I also studied music on an intense level. By age 15 I realized the secret of the Logos was actually Pythagorean music tuning as the secret harmony of the Universe. My first year of college I took quantum physics as an introductory course but taught by a very high level researcher. He demonstrated what is called the "Dirac Dance" as the secret of nonlocality and suddenly I realized it was the same music tuning math secret I had noticed in my studies.
I kept this to myself, except telling my parents in a letter home, as I could not complete the conceptual analysis. So my 2000 master's thesis then focuses on my discovery of John Beaulieu's biosonic book as you have also referenced. In that book he points out the Perfect Fifth is yang and the Perfect Fourth is yin. This corroborated the same secret I had discovered. It's a very simple idea but how it relates to philosophy of science was even more mysterious.
As I finished my master's thesis I was contacted by a publisher of music theory and physics - as he had graduated in physics. He admitted he couldn't understand my master's thesis and it was his wife who had thought it would make a good book for him to publish. So I studied his book on Music and Fractals - this was 25 years ago so - his name is Charles Madden. I realized he points out the Taiji symbol is not commutative geometry since it is complementary opposites and thus it is also not a fractal.
OK so I now realized the error in my master's thesis and I then discovered Alain Connes, a high level mathematical physicist talking about music theory with the same secret I had discovered! Finally the concept was made - it's called "noncommutativity" hahaha. My recent article is called "Noncommutative Music as Biophysics" by Drew W. Hempel.

I had tested out  my master's thesis by doing intensive qigong meditation in full lotus with qigong master Chunyi Lin who works with Mayo Clinic doctors http://springforestqigong.com
If I told you what I experienced, etc. you would probably not believe me. hahaha.
Have you read "The Man Who could Fly" by Professor Michael Grosso on Saint Joseph de Copertino? 
Well thanks for your music healing article - yes I can assure you that this is all true and much more!!
