"For the past two years I have valued a friendship with a fascinating young occultist-musician named Wilburn Burchette. By the time he was
twelve, Wil was deep into his unorthodox experiments with music. It occurred to him that since everything in our universe is composed of
vibratory atoms, then vibration is movement, movement is time, and that, to achieve any creative spiritual [sic] breakthrough, man must rise
above time. “I considered music to be an art form of time, through time, and in time. I assumed that everything was time. However, that

"For the past two years I have valued a friendship with a fascinating young occultist-musician named Wilburn Burchette. By the time he was
twelve, Wil was deep into his unorthodox experiments with music. It occurred to him that since everything in our universe is composed of
vibratory atoms, then vibration is movement, movement is time, and that, to achieve any creative spiritual [sic] breakthrough, man must rise
above time. “I considered music to be an art form of time, through time, and in time. I assumed that everything was time. However, that
which conceives time doesn’t necessarily have to be in it,” Wil told me. “The breakthrough to Higher Reality is outside of time. When you
break through time, that is revelation, that is breaking through to the Godhead.” "Wilburn Burchette’s personal revelation was given a
marvelously translatable expression through a music which he calls Impro. It is Wil’s belief that he has cracked music’s emotional code, thus
becoming able to trigger in his audiences the emotions that he, as performer, wishes to communicate. Wil further believes that he has
rediscovered the occult music of the ancient mysteries. In his performances, he does not seek to play music but emotions. He has discovered
that certain frequencies control certain moods, and he is able to directly involve the listener in his occult concerts.
The farther Wil was able to move his consciousness back in time, the more difficult he found it became to separate the concepts of music and
altered states of consciousness. “I believe that in the early days of the Earth, communication was a thought-inference system,” Burchette
says. “Under such a system any audible sound would have been communication of some sort. Consequently there would have been no
differentiation between language and music. “But I think that music became separated along the way, because of its special properties. It was
more sophisticated. The division, then, between language and music would have come about as these special properties became more
pronounced. Thus language became a lower means of communication. It was more precise and was used to carry out the affairs of material
existence. It was more functional in a day-to-day situation. “Music, on the other hand, would have been taken over by the priestcraft and
made their special domain. For music is, and has been since its beginnings, the method of communication with the gods.” « hide |
