Interview:
Music brings our awareness to our feelings and our emotional body. The aura dances with the music. On the other side, music is a technology. Nature provides us with an environment which is, for the most part, devoid of individual notes. Everything in nature comes to us as what science might call “pink noise”, but which is probably better described as a holographic vibrational bath. In a forest we feel wonderful because we are in touch with the “music” of the forest. A forest next to a main road is uncomfortable because it is a disharmonious clutter of noises. Man-made technology makes noise that is quite different than the “music” of nature. Individual notes entrain vibrational patterns in our bodies. Bass notes and Infrasonic notes play with our nervous system and physical body. Audible notes play mostly with the emotional body.
Chords play in more interesting ways with our emotional patterns or feelings. Progressions can carry our emotional body on wonderful journeys, drawing our conscious awareness, perhaps our spirit, into our feelings. Music is wonderful, but as all technologies, it has the danger of displacing nature. More and more people are turning away from our national parks and forests, seduced by technology created music, much the way we are drawn away from whole grains and fresh water toward processed foods with long shelf life like processed flour, processed sugar, and preserved oils, and of course, soft drinks and diet soft drinks, all of which are laced with appetite enhancing chemicals.
Earth is our life. We live as a vibration on earth, our nervous system resonating with Earth’s electrical body, and our emotional bodies resonating with Earth’s magnetic field. As technology increasingly pollutes nature, including music, and becomes preferable to the sound of nature, do we lose our soul? In the final analysis, does our addiction to music cut us off from Mother Earth?
“Earth is our life. We live as a vibration on earth, our nervous system resonating with Earth’s electrical body, and our emotional bodies resonating with Earth’s magnetic field.”
