To me it means the infinitely complex interplay of all of the forces which bind the Universe together.

Personally? Or historically? From Kepler? Or from Alchemy and the Hermetic Tradition? I belong to a group artist named Kenny La Roche. Kenny is building the 1st Post-Postmodern Cathedral on the face of the earth. We build it in the woods and in that part of the landscape called the Seldom Seen. We hang huge rocks in the canopies of trees. We even hang rocks under water. Part of our Cathedral - we call it Our Lady of the Ligne since we are constructing it in bits and pieces along the 45th Parallel North - is made up of 7 large structures called Temple Bells. For these we use the Alchemical myth of the Music of the Spheres. Each of the Temple Bells is named after and represents both a Planet and a chemical element. Saturn, for example, is lead, because to the ancients Saturn was the planet which was furthest from the earth [not the sun] and since, in Alchemy, lead is 7 steps away from becoming "gold" then it too was furthest from the completion of the work. Every one of the 7 visible "planets" - the sun and the moon were included - was therefore connected with an element, an attitude, a stage of development, and an angel or a band of angels. The angels are singing, as angels often do, but we cannot hear them with our mortal ears which are based on "lead". So the elements and the soul must ascend thru each planet's sphere of influence until they have traversed all the 7 and changed their elemental nature to the spiritual - at which point they go Ogdoadic and burst thru the 8th level which is beyond the physical nature of planets and elements - here they will be in the presence of god and they will then be able to hear the constant singing of all the angels on all the levels and this is what Kepler - and others - meant by "the Music of the Spheres." Kenny La Roche [see us at: larochestonebook.com] has finished 4 of the 7 Temple Bells and when we are finished with the 7th all of them will chime.

If I consider the music of the spheres like when the earth spins on its axis, I would say it's remember me the sound (music) of the dolphins. I mean the music of the life too.

I'm with Doug on this one but I'd add sound..nature, insects, birds, animals, ocean waves, the different sounds of the wind through trees, even the violent sounds of nature as in thunderstorms, heavy rains. Don't forget the laughter of children, and sigh of a lover.
Then there is the music that is not heard by human ear but with microphones set to space. The sounds the earth makes in shearing off cliffs or iceburgs,and the fierce sound of earthquakes. There are so many sounds that create harmony, in major or minor keys, in one area of our being or another.
The phrase also occurs to me when I hear a piece of music so beautiful it brings tears to my eyes. There are some pieces that make me think they were created in another realm.

Music of the Spheres is just that...sound, aka vibration, caused by heavenly bodies as they rotate. The "music" is more mathematical than musical.
My personal opinion is that all of life is sound....everything is vibration, even colors (vibration of light).....if only our ears were attuned to hear everything..

In my dreams sometimes...
I experience music....
I call it "soul" music...
But not how soul music is defined on this planet....
(although earthly soul music is a very nice thing indeed....)
I couldn't begin to tell you about it...
It comes from "out there"...
It comes from "in here"....
It is felt, tasted, resonated, become-a- nated, vibrated, way more than just merely "heard"....
It comes from my soul...
It comes from your soul....
It comes from *The* Soul....
It comes from the Angels....
It permeates All.....
I have had a few, precious experiences with it, each time unique, and pray each time, to be in it once again....it defies earthly descriptions...It comes from birds singing, planets spinning, satelites beeping, people dreaming, cars running, cats purring, waves crashing, hearts beating, leaves falling, all of that, and more..... The complexity of rythym and harmony beyond normal perception...... To experience it, one must understand one's place within it, I guess I must do that "accidentally" sometimes, certainly never accomplished it intentionally....just kind of stumble in to the understanding once in awhile.... but you don't *hear* the song....you *are* the song....and so is everything else.....

i think of i'm like Shroedinger's cat in a field and the classic Atlanteans nevertheless stay of their area-time and created the planets and we live in a huge darkish nicely type ingredient and the planets/spheres are track machines yet in addition projectors of area-time ?

I believe that the magical sounds of music,fills the universe.The sphere of life.A complex barrier which keeps it all together in harmony.

Round sounds!

Our life and that of the universe are not separate. Everything vibrates and we hear some of it, and not most of it.
We could hear more if we were more in tune with the true nature of reality.
