# Music & Entertainment > Essassani music uses trinary structures to spark imagination and allow experience of harmonics while on Earth music can serve as a permission slip that helps a person reach a state where healing release or connection can occur through deliberately chosen vibration - Canonical: https://sassani.app/topic/music # Music & Entertainment *A musician plays beside a pool while three widening ripples reach a nearby listener* Music and entertainment, in Bashar's teaching, are tools of imagination and vibration. On Essassani they spark the imagination and allow for the experience of the harmonics of different levels of all that is. On Earth, a piece of music can serve as a permission slip — a deliberately chosen vibration that helps a person reach a state where healing, release, or connection can occur. And because symbols in physical reality are blank until you fill them with meaning, a musical symbol (the 88 keys of a piano, a particular concerto) can become the very activity through which a connection with someone on the other side of the veil is felt. ## Essassani music: trinary and simpler Bashar describes music on his world as somewhat different from Earth's and somewhat similar. It is comparatively simplistic by human standards and is built on structures of three — trinary structures — rather than the more complex human forms. The reason given is that Essassani beings hear more of what is present in the harmonic directly, and therefore need fewer notes to evoke it. The function of Essassani music is to spark the imagination and to allow for vibrations of harmony and the experience of the harmonics of different levels of all that is. The simpler form is therefore not a deficit but a match for a fuller direct perception of what each note already contains. ## Music as a permission slip When Bashar offers a healing practice, he offers it as a permission slip rather than as a prescription. The first three minutes of Beethoven's Seventh Symphony, second movement, played while lying peacefully in repose, is presented as a vibration that can help a person let go of sorrow, grief, regret, and move toward self-forgiveness and the healthy state that Bashar calls your birthright. Two features matter. First, this is framed as a permission slip keyed to the collective energy vibration of the human species — one reason it can work for most people, in whatever way each imagination desires. Second, the music is not doing something to you; it is a tool that helps you allow what you are already capable of. The permission-slip framing preserves the principle that you are the one creating the change, with the tool as the aid you have agreed to use. The specific piece of music is the first three minutes of Beethoven symphony number seven movement two. Play that while you're in a peaceful state of repose, let it wash through you. Those chords are exactly precisely what will tap into the idea of letting go of the past, letting go of sorrow, letting go of grief, letting go of regrets, and forgiving yourself and moving toward the vibration that will attract to you whatever information is germane to allow you to be in the healthy state that is your birthright.— Bashar, Healing Permission Slip Beethoven Symphony7No.2 (healing-permission-slip-beethoven-symphony7no2#text) The session is careful not to deliver specific health information; the tool is offered to attract whatever information, situations, people, or opportunities a person requires for themselves. ## Musical symbols as synchronistic bridges Because no symbol comes with built-in meaning, numbers and musical instruments can become bridges between someone grieving and the being they are grieving for. When a questioner's friend Marge passed at 88, Bashar reflected that 88 is a beautiful number and pointed to the 88 keys of a piano: "When's the last time you went to a piano concerto, 88 keys? Time to go." The act of attending the concerto — the very activity that mirrors the number — is the synchronistic bridge that lets the veil thin. This is a teaching about how symbols work, not just about music: the connection is made through the willingness to act on the symbol, in physical life, in the way that mirrors the resonant number or image. The music is the medium through which an already-present connection becomes felt. ## Practical implications Use music deliberately as a state-permission slip. Choose a specific piece, listen in repose, and let it support a chosen state (release, forgiveness, alignment). The music is the aid, not the cause. Follow the symbolic numbers. When a number, instrument, or piece of music appears linked to a meaningful person or event, treat the activity that mirrors the symbol as a possible bridge — go to the concerto, play the piece, attend to the coincidence. Do not treat simpler as lesser. On the Essassani account, simpler music can express more when perception is fuller; apply the same idea to your own listening and creating — fewer elements need not mean less meaning. Keep health framing bounded. Bashar's permission slip is offered as a general vibrational aid that may attract relevant information; it is not a medical or therapeutic prescription, and medical, psychological, or psychiatric care should not be replaced by it. ## Representative passages It sparks the imagination. It allows for vibrations of harmony and the understanding and experience of harmonics of different levels of all that is. [...] It is actually quite simplistic by your standards and usually goes on, shall we say, structures of three, trinary structures.
