Despite general perceptions on the matter, the truth is that music is an attribute of the spirit. We tend to forget this because our civilization has surrounded music with a gargantuan industry of unnecessary mundanity. However, underneath all that, music is, has been and will always be the voice of the spirit. The fact that every human being is emotionally and intellectually susceptible to music provides the evidence that music is both, a spiritual manifestation, and also a spiritual influence.

Whatever our affiliations, our faiths, or philosophies may be, music is one of the most direct windows into our own individual spirituality. It represents our innermost emotions. It symbolizes our deepest characteristics. It resonates with our intentions and moves us in those directions. Furthermore, it originates from who we really are and what we really mean, beyond external appearances and public attitudes. I believe music is inseparable from the human existence not because of the physical gratifications we receive from it, but because of the intimate influence it exerts upon our hearts. Not because of the ephemeral effects of entertainment, but because of its lasting capability to define and identify us deep down where the spirit dwells. Such is the significance of music.
