Topic: The Egos self deceptions about music
The negative ego, when allowed full control over the expression of the Earthbound human will lead itself right down the path of destruction. The ego was never meant to be running our lives, but this became the case.
The warriors path is to identify and systematically subjugate the ego to the proper control of the higher self which is also the proper integration of the intuitive side of our awareness which has been suppressed, both internally and externally.
Music is a Meta Language. This needs to be pondered. Digital reproduction has corrupted music no end but that is another story. Music leads straight to the emotional plane and is a gateway and conduit to non locality in ways that are generally overlooked or not suspected. It is in a large sense, a very powerful programming tool which is and has been being used towards negative ends with the willful cooperation of guess who....the ego, or shadow side of mankind.
The game is always worked by using false mentation to stick people in their emotional bodies and run them in circles that lead nowhere. Hollywood keeps serving up the same old hash, same with pop music...most of it negative and people in total denial about it. People are addicted to pain in the main. The fractured spirits under the total control of the egos addiction to negative emotional body response, convince themselves that the music they like is a good thing, but in most cases its not. It speaks of suffering, warefare, violence, hatred...the list goes on.
It need not be lyrical either to convey these underworlds, from expanded states of consciousness....the Intent of anything can be felt. Tones have a colour and a feeling that goes far beyond the mundane, often leading to the most brutal corridors imaginable, not being accurately perceived by the fragmented human who has sold him-herself on addiction to self sustaining suffering. All of these icons, and meta forces perceived or not, signify alignment with something in the consciousness of the listner. They don't call it " Death Metal " without a reason.
The ego self likes to identify with all these negative images. Its considered cool or somehow heroic, but its not.
Its really just a form of martyrdom with energy mining underlying.
The ego will always go for whats shiny, what it thinks it wants, and more often than not whats bad for it and the body. The body will not respond well over time to bad vibrations. The ego self will seek to contradict and lie about the deeper needs of the body and the real truth about its twisted desires.
Its no different than watching voilence that is made out to be entertainment and denying that its a bad idea to image those things into ones consciousness. Its no different than putting artifice and excess into the body and then expecting allopathic poison to cure it. The populace was instructed to develop a taste for the wrong kinds of energy and they mostly did it. The sickness gets replicated and permutated and keeps running hosts in circles of pain. Denial keeps it strong. If everyones' doing it....walk the other way.
I know a sage guy who said you don't have to go far to find negativity....or something like you don't need to go seeking it...its on every street corner.
What I suggest is be honest with yourself about areas where you might be blind and stop feeding your consciousness lower dimensional programs in the form of music you think you like. If you are on a path of rapid awareness expansion this contradiction of self will eventually get thrown back at you in very weird ways until the message is grok'd. People that are celebrating and listening to some of what passes for music are running old programs plain and simple, and wallowing in them...flaunting the ego self out in the fields of matter ad infinitum.
For initiates....whatever initiation really is.......the Goddess has to be integrated. She knows what doors to close and knows what ones not to open. She knows what feels off, and also calls a spade a spade.
She takes no prisoners. She heals all wounds and takes us back home.
Good luck on the path
