Hip hop is the highest consciousness music

For better or worse, I feel music adds emotional weight to my contemplation.

It becomes less dry.

The upside is that the extra emotional weight makes the insights really stick with you. The downside is emotional self-deception, i.e "I felt something really strong, therefore it must be true".

ITT music elitism

Just the fact that the music tastes thread is in the Spirituality section and not the Off-Topic one is already putting /mu/'s level of pretentiousness to shame 🥴

Surprises? What do you want, a monkey screaming in the middle of a song? 

Something like this I guess

You strawman my music as having one emotion. Then you act puzzled.

Why do we enjoy the music we enjoy? do we know?

It is exactly as with psychedelics or any other technique or tool used in this work. Everyone will have their own unique system which will operate in a certain way, given a particular stimulus.

The reaction can be an innate/instinctual thing. This may be state dependent. Different music for different states of awareness. Sometimes a song works better from one hour/moment to another. Perhaps an individual's reaction to music might also in part be a trained/conditioned arisal. You can for example, learn to enjoy some musical cuisine of wide variety.

For Leo to find beauty, love, and enjoyment in music, is for me to find beauty, love, and enjoyment in music. And likewise the inverse may be true.

The music which in me produces contemplative energy, may vary significantly than what works for Leo. This is perfectly normal. Everything is functioning just as intended. Welcome to Infinity.

It’s always so interesting to me to read how normal people experience music. I love that music has so many forms that any ear can find something to latch onto while being so infinitely open that interested ears can dig deeper forever. It’ll find a way to get through picky & open listeners alike!🥰
 

@Natasha Tori Maru

You talk about music like a musician!

You guys might as well be arguing over which food is best.

Of course it’s subjective

It's a bit more specific than just a style.

Every time you post music i have to go back and listen to the previous one to figure out what changed, the variation is so slight.

Its like week 1: valina ice cream with 2 sesame sprinkles, week 2: vanilla ice cream with 4 sesame sprinkles. week 3: vanilla ice cream with 12 sesame sprinkles "and this time you emphasize how amazing it is" lol

Do you see how over specific this is? It all blends together.

It's like every heavy metal song I have to go back and listen to the previous one to figure out oh OK "the yelling in this one is different"

My assumption is that Leo has been listening to this sort of music for a decent & while his consciousness is much more in tune with the nuance than you or I would be. Without spending countless hours developing a relationship with this style of music we will never truly understand the nuance. Likewise with all of us down here on the earthly planes.

It is okay if you arent attracted to it. There is only so much room on that server anyways

You aren't attracted to it. Hence the reason for a myriad of forms to chase after here. We want fun yes, but want everybody to have a little bit of a different kind of fun. Find the style you are in tune with and flow with it.

Music is vibration. Music is energetic.

Find the energy that vibrates best with you for what you need. Music is a healthy tool in as far as I am aware. Utilize it.

We can be certain that there do exist specific things that we can consume, which move us towards Truth.

Psychedelics is one example.

Some you can eat.

Some you can smoke.

The method of consumption matters not much here. Consumption is consumption. Even in its various forms.

What you consume, is in a sense, what you become made of.

Perhaps with music it is this similar dynamic?

Imagine a Psychedelic, but you ingest it via soundwaves vibrating to your ears being interpreted by and playing influence on that route rather than through direct absorbtion & neuro-molecular means. Various frequencies are already understood to alter brainwaves and hemispherical synchronization.

It also seems important to note that music is always a direct thing when you look past all the brainy ideas. When have you ever experienced music that isn’t happening to you directly?

Important Note:

I said earlier that psychedelics can lead you towards Truth. This is with intentional consciousness work directed usage. Delusion is certainly still possible.

Same with music, if you wish to utilize it in an intentional manner you may be delighted in your discoveries. If are in an unconscious relationship with music you might not benefit from it in same the way we do here.

Even the heartbeat has a rhythm you understand. The music is all around, all of the time.

Could everything of life be rythmic?

Is it all musical?

Composition?

What is Harmony?

let's imagine you were to post gongs every week. week 1: " i love this gong so good for contemplation", week 2: "this really is one of he best gongs" week 3... week 4.

Every time you post music i have to go back and listen to the previous one to figure out what changed, the variation is so slight.

week 1 

Week 2

week 3 

week 4..

Yeah, I don't see anything wrong with his preferences, i want to know why it's such an extremely narrow range lol

None of this music is stuff he grew up with. It's not even part of his childhood, why is it so specific?

Its reasonable that "tranquil dream music" is good for contemplation, its all makes sense from that frame.

I feel like some people are more into an artform than others are which explains wider taste.  People who aren't into music that much have a very different set of albums or songs they listen to.  I'm the same with visual arts, I have very little interest in that so someone who is really into visual arts would look at the pictures in my house and probably cringe a little.

@Joseph Maynor Some of that reminds me of Traffic....

@integral Listening to this by Traffic and I forget I exist. That's how I gauge good music. Whether I get lost in it or not.
