Music is a key to the doorway into the kingdom of God. Our intelligence exists there, as a collection of energies, defining a whole, and operating in a way such that all parts have access to all other parts simultaneously. By resonating this defined area we can begin (but only begin) to perceive it, like a camouflaged animal being invisible in its environment until it moves. The thrill, the excitement of this perception is what we experience as the beauty of music; The joy of listening to the things that move us in such a way as to enable us to notice a realm, which we then feel, but cannot even start to understand. For now we are happy just to feel it. Someday we will demand to understand it.

I would never take any drugs to take myself to higher ground...but music makes me high when it is really good!
Everyone says, music love, everybody says it's true
Got your site from Dr. Turner...I like very much your words about music. I travelled to Israel to experiment with universal (one song) sounds to unite people. Figured I'd try the workshop on groups that really hated each other. I like your writings, Steven.

Will, I love your writing, which is why I originally contacted you.
If I remember correctly, in the movie, "Close Encounters..." it was music that united beings. Music combines science/math and art; mind and heart. It completes us and helps us to feel whole. When heart and mind are united then understanding comes, I think.
