Two kinds of cog­ni­tion are known to man:

It is a fea­ture of mu­si­cal cog­ni­tion on the level of our un­der­stand­ing that it brings us joy and enli­vens us.
Cog­ni­tion here means higher cog­ni­tion – to which the lis­tener climbs as if on steps.

The in­crease of joy comes about be­cause more in­tel­li­gence is re­leased within us as we com­pre­hend higher mu­si­cal or­ders on our way to higher cog­ni­tion.

As this in­tel­lec­tual proc­ess of cog­ni­tion pro­ceeds, mu­sic places our tools of cog­ni­tion into a state of greater alert­ness be­cause it makes us use more of our own in­tel­li­gence.

Thus, our po­ten­tial of in­tel­li­gence is sys­tem­ati­cally re­leased which in­creases the pu­rity of its cog­ni­tive func­tion, and the re­sult is a brighter radi­ance of the ob­jects of knowl­edge of a higher mu­si­cal or­der.

As we cog­nize higher mu­si­cal or­ders, our tools of cog­ni­tion reg­is­ter an influx of mani­fold nour­ish­ment, and it ap­pears to us as if our in­ner tools of cog­ni­tion would feed through many mouths.

It is char­ac­ter­is­tic for mu­si­cal cog­ni­tion on the level of our feel­ing to bring us hap­pi­ness and strength.
In this case, cog­ni­tion means that we climb the steps of gain­ing knowl­edge with our feel­ing.

The in­crease of our sen­sa­tion of hap­pi­ness comes about be­cause the mu­si­cal forces of cog­ni­tion, which we mu­sic lis­ten­ers catch with our net of knowl­edge in the wa­ters of higher mu­si­cal or­ders, shine brighter and brighter the deeper we enter the true world of mu­sic.
In this proc­ess, we re­lease within our­selves higher and higher en­er­gies for our emo­tional cog­ni­tion of the higher mu­si­cal or­ders.

So, quite logi­cally, we feel more and more en­er­getic as our emo­tional proc­ess of gain­ing knowl­edge in mu­sic pro­ceeds.

And when, even­tu­ally, we have reached the realm of the har­mony, we even rec­og­nize our­selves as the natu­ral ex­pres­sion of pure en­ergy. At the same time, with the ca­pa­bili­ties of our un­der­stand­ing, we think we are the natu­ral ex­pres­sion of pure in­tel­li­gence.
