AN EXPERIMENT

Who out there feels the rush, the adrenaline surging through their veins at the sound of pounding drums, screeching guitars and bellowing vocals.
There isn't a feeling like it, is there?
WHY IS IT SO?
Who the hell knows what I'm talking about?
Try this, change the music you listen to and see what happens to you.
That's right if you listen to heavy metal try classical, if you listen to pop switch to rock, get it?
Go from one end of the spectrum to the other as far as possible, you know what I mean.
Try to listen to something auditively painful, something outside your own personal squared circle, beyond your understanding or below your personal standards.
Then see what happens.
Watch yourself, notice changes in behavior, attitude, loss of or accentuated feelings and emotions.
Trust me you will notice a difference, FOR SURE!
Music is central to our lives to our spiritual, social, moral and total development as individuals as well as members of society.
It not only effects us personally as individuals but also collectively as members of society,
It effects us positively and negatively on many levels and in many aspects of our being, this MUST be admitted.
Try it and see for yourself, the results will shock you as they did me.

THE POWER OF MUSIC

PLATO said............
"For the introduction of a new kind of music must be shunned as imperiling the whole state; since styles of music are never disturbed without affecting the most important political institutions. "
WOW! Now there's a big call, who would have thought, that that was the case...it's only music I hear you cry, to emphatically state that it's not possible for something so benign, so insignificant, sooooo good to be so powerful, so central to humanity's total existence so influential, and finally so evil.
THINK ABOUT IT!
What type of music is popular now? What effect does this music have on those who listen to it and worship it's performers as Gods.
What would actually be the soudtrack to this evil and perverse generation, and who would write such a masterpiece, if not artists who wrote songs and lived lives that personify and typify the baseness, debauchedness and complete wretchedness of this evil and perverse generation, it's shallowness, egocentrism and moral corruption.
And yet, we not only worhip these people, we shovel our hard earned money into their laps for them to continue in their soul-corrupting activities, and to maintain lifestyles which during any other epoch in history would have been regarded as libertine and perverted and frowned upon by all logical, moral and ethical members of the human race, and would be forced to carry on their perverse activities in secret, in our own times this is reversed, as we hold these morally corrupt and degenerate individuals in the highest regard, hanging on every word they say, emulating and imitating their lives, especially the youth, who listen to the philosophies of the ROCKSTARS and hold them in the highest regard, above all other authority, including parents, teachers and all other moral teachers past and present.
Music has become the centre of our lives, not a mere side show, a distratction, as it was in the past, but the main focus, it has infiltrated into every aspect of our being and existence.
We live to worship these false gods of the entertainment industry that we have created, and feed their hideous drug habbits and excess, hedonistic lifestyles.
We don't even realise what it is we're doing or who it is that we are actually paying tribute to, we fail to even acknowledge the effect it has has and is having on us and our children and on generations to come.
WAKE UP!
