Musical Cosmos

Part of my interest in music is in exploring how it (and sound in all forms) can influence consciousness. This is of interest partly because it’s fun to explore altered states naturally, and partly because I know from my own experience that my consciousness creates my reality. I see everything - my thoughts, feelings, physical ’stuff’ - as energy, and know that the seemingly solid physical world is in fact directly created and influenced by my mind (I’ll probably lose some readers at this point. That’s no problem - if you’re not interested in this kind of thing, just ignore the posts in this category!)

So, given this, I’m always interested in investigating ways of better controlling my focus, in order to vibrationally align with the things and situations I desire to create (or maintain) in my life. This involves following my inner guidance, and following the path that feels best. And for me, that best-feeling path means making music, (plus listening to it, learning about it, writing about it, etc), as well as exploring how different combinations of sound can directly affect my consciousness.

I’ve never been at all religious, and although I used to be interested in various ‘new age’ and self-help type stuff, I outgrew most of that some ago. Basically, my philosophy of life is my own, and I don’t need anyone to point out the best path for me. Having said that however, I do really like the Abraham-Hicks material. Abraham, for those unfamiliar with them, is a group of non-physical consciousnesses that speak through Esther Hicks (most people think of this process as channelling, although they don’t use the term). Their basic message is simple: life is supposed to be fun, and you create your own reality. Their material provides tools that help people to basically get out of their own way, let their creative power flow freely, and live the most joyous life possible. There’s no dogma, or telling people what to think; instead the emphasis is on aligning with your unique inner guidance. There’s a summary of their stuff here. I’d also recommend their books The Law of Attraction and Ask and it is Given as good introductions to their work.

I mention Abraham because in some future posts I’ll be talking about energy, and vibration, and my use of music and sound in conjunction with my deliberate creative endeavours, and I want to be clear about where I’m coming from. Of course this ‘weird stuff’ won’t appeal to everyone, and that’s fine. I’ve no interest in trying to convince anyone of anything, and I’m not going to try to justify my worldview either. If you’re a die-hard sceptic, or just not interested, just feel free to skip those posts. But if you’re open-minded and interested in the massive creative potential that we all have, as humans, the Abraham-Hicks material might be of some interest
