in their orbits. (Regarded as one of the leading lights in the history of science for his formulation of the three laws of planetary motion that bear his name, Kepler, upon discovering them, excitedly exclaimed “O God, I am thinking Thy thoughts after Thee!” He obviously realized that he had tapped into the very mind of God itself in unveiling these fundamental secrets of the cosmos.)
Here now are just a few examples of the many passages found in the Cayce readings about this celestial music:
Then enter into meditation, in the wee hours of the morning, when the world at large is quiet—when the music of the spheres and the morning stars sing for the glory of the coming day, and ask the soul; and let the spirit of self answer.
440-4
In that before this, we find in the beginning, when the first of the elements were given, and the forces set in motion that brought about the sphere as we find called earth plane, and when the morning stars sang together …
294-8
And as there was followed the receding of His Star, and the flight into Egypt through the devious ways and manners in which there came the news through word of mouth, yet in awe and quiet kept, it made for that in the experience of the entity—when it sits alone in the twilight, and there is almost again felt the music of the spheres, the singing of the morning stars, as the earth is quieted—there enters oft again that peace, that is only troubled by the cares of a workaday world.
1152-3
This awoke within the entity that as may be found in the present, how all nature—the face in the water, the dew upon the grass, the tint and the beauty of the rose, the song of the stars, the mourn of the wind, all proclaim—now—the mighty words of a merciful, a loving God.
587-6
Listen to the voice within, as it is awakened to the music of the spheres by the incoming of those forces that protect in those relationships through astronomical, astrological, and the influences as builded by self in its application of that known as to the relationships now.
539-2
In the experience there came that great overshadowing desire within the entity to become attuned, as it were, to the heavenly song, the heavenly music, the vibrations as it were of the spheres when all nature proclaimed the joyous event into the experience of man!
1487-1
Who may tell a rose to be sweet, or the music of the spheres to harmonize with God?
2408-1
In the present abilities we find the latent and manifested urge for the love of outdoors, of nature—as in voice, as in sound; whether the waves upon the seashore, the wind in the pines, the song of the birds, or the music as of nature and the spheres combined.
2450-1
Think, for a moment, of the music of the waves upon the shore, of the morning as it breaks with the music of nature, of the night as it falls with the hum of the insect, of all the kingdoms as they unite in their song of appreciation to an all-creative influence that gives nature consciousness or awareness of its being itself. And harmonize that in thine own appreciation, as to bring music akin to the song of the spheres.
2581-2
The name then was Melsanteudendt. The entity gained much, which is expressed at present in the interpretings of those things prompted by listening to the voice within, and of the activities of things pertaining to spiritual attitude—as the listening not only to the promptings from without but to the music of the spheres, or of the stars, or of nature itself.
2700-1
For the entity turned to nature, to nature’s mysteries, to nature’s beauty, to the songbirds, to flowers, to music of rain patter on the roof, as well as the music of the spheres for its inspiration.
3201-2
Faint not because of oppositions, but do keep the music of the spheres, the light of the stars, the softness of the moonlight upon the water as upon the trees. For nature in its song, as the birds, as the bees make music to their Creator, contributed to man
5265-1
The astronomical, the numerological, the environs of the creations in the vibrations from metals, from stones, from those of every form, have—through the experience of the entity at times had their influence; and thus bear for the entity something that must be used as an omen, or as an experience that may aid the entity in making the proper interpretations of those things that to many an one are not lawful to be spoken in materiality—hence come only to those who have eyes to see, through the spiritual realms, or who have ears to hear the music of the spheres, the growing or the beauty in all the relationships to man that make for expressions of the divine that may be, and is, a portion of man’s experience.
No man, no physical matter, has ever seen God at any time; only the manifestations of Him.

Such references to the music of the spheres and the stars singing to us (however moving and lovely they may be) have for the most part been taken only figuratively and as “poetic license.” However all celestial objects—including the Sun, Moon, and planets of our solar system, all of the stars, and even other galaxies, including our Milky Way—give off radiation across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. And this includes not only ultraviolet, infrared (or heat), and visible light, but for many of these bodies radio waves as well. The radio emissions themselves can be converted to sound waves, making it possible to actually “listen” to the cosmos with our ears as well as look at it with our eyes.
Much of what is received for the most part sounds like static, hissing, or beeps (in the case of pulsars—spinning neutron stars). However, thanks to today’s amazingly sensitive, huge radio telescopes, the incredible number-crunching capability of Cray supercomputers, and very sophisticated Moog electronic synthesizers, radio astronomers have found that some of the stars are emitting cyclic harmonic vibrations—not radio “noise” or random static—into space. This means that they in a sense are “singing” to us! Here, of course, we’re talking about using giant “radio ears” and elaborate equipment to physically perceive it. But apparently it’s possible to hear the celestial music without their use, for these modern marvels obviously didn’t exist in Johannes Kepler’s day—and yet he heard the music of the spheres! So did a number of the people for whom Edgar Cayce gave readings. In this regard, note especially what he had to say in some of the readings above concerning tuning into this music spiritually as well as physically. And just for the record here—I have had many people tell me at conferences where I was speaking that they have also heard the stars singing to them!
