The Secret Score: How Music Trains You to See the Unseen

“’[…] bring me a minstrel.’ And it came about, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the LORD came upon him.”
“Music expresses the inner essence of all life and existence. It speaks not of things, but of forces, the inmost being of the world.”
“There’s a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.”
Introduction
“Songs kind of just write themselves. It’s as if I’m just a source through which the music flows.”
Sometimes, while improvising a melody, I get this intense “knowing feeling”.
It’s as if the music isn’t coming from me at all—but through me.
Notes pour out in a way that feels like an intelligence all of its own—like a message. Patterns unfold, hinting at something just beyond my understanding—a glimpse of the future, a path, or a truth I can’t yet fully articulate …but one that I feel and resonate with on another plain of existence.
As an artist and deep thinker, I love to dissect moments like this.
As a spiritual seeker, I keep wondering if there’s more to this.
And as someone obsessed with how creativity intersects with consciousness, I’ve come to believe music isn’t just art—it’s the hidden language of frequency and resonance that trains us to see what’s beneath reality.
The question that I find interesting is this: What’s the connection between Music and Prophesy?
Why?
Because:
In 2 Kings 3:15, Elisha requests a minstrel (or harpist) to play music before he prophesies. The music helps to calm and compose his spirit, preparing him to receive the divine message. This suggests that music creates an environment conducive to spiritual receptivity and the movement of God's Spirit—Creates an atmosphere for prophecy.
In 1 Samuel 10:5-6, Saul encounters a group of prophets who are playing instruments and prophesying. As the music plays, the Spirit of the Lord comes upon Saul in a powerful way, and he begins to prophesy with them, being transformed into "another man". The music here seems to be a catalyst or a part of the spiritual experience that allows the Spirit to move and bring about a change in Saul—Accompanies prophetic activity and transformation.
If music is a conduit for the preparation of prophesy, then music holds the power to reveal not only who we are—but where we’re headed.
This is the story I want to tell..
The Problem: Starved for Meaning, Blind to Patterns..
“I’m looking for something… something I do not understand…”
Here’s what you might be feeling right now:
You crave transcendence but feel stuck in mundane routines.
You’re creative, but sense you’re only scratching the surface of something far bigger.
You know music moves you deeply—but you don’t know why certain notes feel so resonant.
You’re haunted by the suspicion that life has patterns, but you’re struggling to read them.
In a world drowning in noise, art is the last sacred space. And yet even some artists miss the deeper purpose hidden in their own creations.
We live in an age where meaning is scattered.
Cultural upheaval leaves us disoriented.
Attention spans fracture.
The modern problem isn’t a lack of information—it’s that we can’t see the meta connections.
Prophets of old were pattern and paradigm readers—synthesizers of meta information. They connected scattered dots into a vision of what was coming. But in a hyper-distracted world, most of us have lost that skill.
Music might be the fastest way back to it.
Music Trains the Prophetic Mind: The Ancient Connection
Here’s the perspective shift:
Music isn’t entertainment. It’s a prophetic frequency.
Why? Because music is pure pattern language.
Rhythm is time speaking in pulses.
Harmony is tension and release—a mirror of life’s cycles.
Melody is memory and foreshadowing—the past echoing into the future.
Every time you engage deeply with music, you’re practicing the same skill that prophets use:
→ Pattern recognition.
“Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.”
Prophets don’t merely predict events. They sense the hidden architecture of life. They see where currents are flowing before anyone else.
That’s what music teaches you:
How to recognize symbols and metaphors that carry meaning beyond words.
How to detect subtle shifts in emotional weather.
How to anticipate what comes next.
Neuroscientist Daniel J. Levitin writes:
“Music enhances our ability to recognize patterns and make predictions… it engages the same neural circuits involved in complex reasoning and intuition.”
This isn’t mystical “woo woo”—it’s a deeply human phenomenon rooted in the brain’s design.
Philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer linked music directly to a prophetic dimension:
“Music expresses the inner essence of all life and existence. It speaks not of things, but of forces, the inmost being of the world.”
Even artists like Bob Dylan have spoken of their work feeling prophetic:
“I’m just a musical expeditionary… songs are like prophecies.”
Music = Training for Pattern Perception
Think of the last time you felt chills listening to a song. Why did you shiver? It wasn’t random. Your nervous system detected a pattern your conscious mind didn’t fully register yet—a resolution, an unexpected chord, a truth beyond language.
This is prophetic sensitivity.
Prophets and artists share the same job description:
Perceive what others overlook. Translate it into something others can feel.
Musicians weren’t merely entertainers. They were bridges to the unseen.
Why This Matters to You
You might be thinking:
“Cool idea, but why should I care if music is prophetic?”
Because if you’re an artist, spiritual seeker, or music lover:
You’re tired of surface-level creation—you crave deeper resonance.
You suspect your art is trying to tell you and others something.
You already feel the presence of hidden patterns.
You want to unlock your intuition.
Here’s the insight:
Imagine how powerful your creativity will become if you learn to listen for the prophetic dimension of music.
How Music Mirrors Prophetic Mechanics
Let’s break down how music is prophetic mechanics in action:
1. Foreshadowing
A composer introduces a subtle theme early in a piece that returns later transformed. That’s prophecy: hinting at future resolution.
2. Symbolic Language
Prophecy often comes in metaphors. So does music. A minor chord can mean mourning, longing, or warning. A rising interval can signal hope.
3. Time Collapse
Prophets collapse past, present, and future into a single vision. Music does the same:
A single chord can carry echoes of past themes.
A rhythm can predict where the song will land.
4. Emotional Transmission
Prophets don’t merely report facts. They transmit feeling. Music bypasses intellect and implants emotion directly.
The Skeptic’s View: Isn’t This Just Woo-Woo?
Let’s be honest—some people will say:
“Artists aren’t prophets—they’re just imaginative.”
“Music is just entertainment.”
“Prophecy is superstition.”
These criticisms deserve respect. Not everything “feeling profound” is truly prophetic. And artists aren’t automatically oracles.
But here’s where skeptics miss the mark:
Music is scientifically proven to sharpen pattern recognition (as mentioned above).
Prophetic experiences often arise from altered states—which music induces (scripture).
Artists do shape culture by sensing what’s emerging before it fully manifests.
Even if you strip away mysticism, there’s no denying:
Musicians perceive patterns that most people miss. And those patterns often become tomorrow’s reality.
The Advantage: Train Your Inner Prophet
Here’s where it gets practical.
If you embrace the connection between music and prophesy, you gain:
✅ Sharper intuition
✅ Deeper emotional intelligence
✅ The ability to sense cultural shifts
✅ Music that resonates more deeply with others
✅ Creative work that feels guided by something larger
It’s not about predicting the future. It’s about:
Sensing trends before they’re obvious.
Channeling insight into your music.
Trusting your creative instincts.
Imagine the edge you’d have as an musician/artist if you could feel which direction culture is moving—and create ahead of it… now that’s poetic and prophetic.
Gamify Your Prophetic Practice
Let’s make this actionable. Here’s how you can train your prophetic ear through music:
Prophetic Listening Ritual
Put on instrumental music (no lyrics).
Close your eyes. Focus on patterns:
What emotions emerge?
What images flash in your mind?
What future possibilities do you sense?
Write down any insights, no matter how strange.
Prophetic Music Journal
Keep a notebook for musical experiences that feel “prophetic” or that feel like the “soundtrack” of your life.
Record:
Date & song
Emotions felt
Ideas that arose
Any connections you later see in life
Over time, you’ll notice themes revealing themselves.
Compose a Prophetic Affirmation
If you’re a musician:
Try composing a piece as if it were a prophecy.
Don’t just write music—ask:
What is this piece trying to say about the future?
What mood or truth is it revealing?
Conclusion: Artists See The Secrets Of The Unseen Paradigm
Here’s the idea in one sentence:
Music is a primer for the prophetic. Musicians are pattern and paradigm decoders and particle decelerators.
As an artist, spiritual seeker, or music lover, you’re already equipped with the tools of a prophet:
Emotional resonance
Pattern recognition
Intuitive leaps
The question is whether you’ll listen deeply enough to let your art become a doorway to unseen truths.
Because if music is the primer of prophecy, then your next song could be a forecast future vision.
And maybe that’s what you were born for.
