Music & Magic

It occurred to me as I listened to a piece I co-wrote with my friend that magic, prayer, meditation, understanding ones self in the Creator in this life for me is based in music. The power of some of the music I hear lifts my spirit to a new sphere of understanding. Music speaks directly to emotion from emotion, and despite our culture’s attempt to deny our need to feel deeply what we are and to be logical and rational at all times, music enables us to grow in spirit if we allow it to do so. My recent musical experiences have taken me back in memory, and closer to the One. I find that the songs and musical work give meaning to what I am and who I am becoming.

The reason for this out loud thinking of music is to complain about how popular culture is trying to make music into electronic wall paper and remove all but the shallowest emotion from it. Music cannot be rationalised or made logical although logic and rational thought are used to create it.

So for all who wish to write music, or sing and play it, remember that what you do can be sacred if you allow it. Yes even the silliest and funniest tunes have something sacred in them.

So don't be afraid of creating something, the art of creation is unbound spiritually. It is a manifestation of love.
