Re-reading your contribution as above once again created the picture I often have in my mind of us conscious beings (I can't describe 'us' in any other way) existing in octaves.
The (old) idea that there are seven steps to 'heaven' lends itself perfectly to an imagined scale of 7 octaves each one in itself divided into seven 'notes'.
We move up and down the octave we are in according to the music we play and how well we play it on our instrument of choice.
What we play is left to us, we have the freedom of choosing, we can descend or ascend - we can move into a whole new octave, sometimes because of the note we are at that moment playing we find ourselves transposed for a few seconds into another full octave and, once back in our place wonder at what we have just seen.
Maybe, and I say this very carefully, if at our death we are busy playing the top note of our tune we slip into the bottom note of the next higher full octave - the Buddhist conception of our 'soul' leaving the highest of seven Chakras.
The intention of playing our chosen music within the context of an octave results in each of us being part of the same collective 'orchestra' challenged to rise into that which Emerson called the Flower and Head of all living nature.
Something which I strongly believe.
