The Listener as Philosopher – as Lover of Truth

The listener loves truth; this is why he strives for it. And when, eventually, he reaches and perceives the truth –
5. 7, 8, 6. 11, 7. 12, 8. 13, 9. 14, 10. 17, 18, 15. 25, 16. 26, 17. 29, 30
7. 12, 8. 13, 15. 25
4, 6-9, 11, 15-21

or in other words: when truth unfolds before his mental eye in more and more glorious musical forms –
5. 7, 8, 6. 11, 7. 12, 8. 13, 9. 14, 10. 17, 18, 15. 25, 16. 26, 17. 29, 30
7. 12, 8. 13, 15. 25
4, 6-9, 11, 15-21
6. 11, 7. 12, 8. 13, 9. 14, 15. 25, 16. 26
5. 9, 6. 10, 11, 7. 12, 8. 13, 9. 14, 15, 10. 16, 15. 25, 16. 26, 27, 17. 28
1.-3. 3, 11. 21, 12.-14. 22, 18. 33, 19. 34
1.-3. 2, 3, 12.-14. 22, 23, 19.-21. 34, 35
6. 10, 11, 9. 14, 15, 16. 26, 27
5. 9, 6. 10, 10. 16, 17, 17. 28, 29
5. 6, 7, 10. 18, 19, 17. 30, 31
4. 4, 5, 11. 20, 21, 18. 32, 33

the listener attracts truth closer and closer to himself
4, 6-9, 11, 15-21
5. 7, 8, 9, 6. 10, 11, 7. 12, 8. 13, 9. 14, 15, 10. 16, 17, 18, 15. 25,
16. 26, 27, 17. 28, 29, 30
7. 12, 8. 13, 15. 25

and finally unites with it without having to take a single step outside.
