Sure, spiritual music has a different dimension—it was always intended for a specific purpose for practitioners—but for most of us, it all tends to blur together.
To me, enjoyment is just letting your brain go idle. It's an escape from the daily grind. You focus on something you actually care about—like a hobby, maybe with a beer, or a joint, or just sitting in a pub with the radio playing in the background. I don't see how you "achieve" spirituality through it, but you certainly can't grow spiritually if your head is a total mess. That said, actively engaging with spiritual music definitely works... it's not much different from prayer or chanting.😢😲
Music takes shape through whoever is listening to it, or rather, perceiving it.
Most people can't actually feel things, so they use music to trigger emotions. It creates this sense of self-assurance...
Rock, punk, metal—they provide pleasure specifically because of
that feeling of confidence, which vanishes once the music stops.
Still, every generation finds refuge in its own sound, tying their passions to certain genres, though these are fleeting states. It all depends on individual intent, much like any other interaction.
Music allows for mass influence, but the response is always up to our own choice.
What we call feelings is just a pale imitation of reality. A feeling is merely a byproduct of perception; energy is applied to how we interpret reality rather than to observing it directly.
By triggering specific emotions, music can be used to target the will.
Sound can heal, build, or destroy... and we can use any melody to enter a state of silence, precisely because it triggers an emotion.
It all depends on what we focus on.
The intention we follow, or the goal we have.
The mechanical effect of music is predictable; there’s profit involved, and there are tools for that. Some will react to it,
some will play along, others will promote it and recognize the intent behind the sound,
choosing their path in their own time, while others... well, everyone acts according to their own capacity.
Negativity is just another challenge.
Spirituality isn't something you can label or pin onto a specific genre just because it evokes certain moods.
We can respond to music through movement,
which I think is the most vital aspect of sound.
Even if it isn't through dancing, it easily influences posture, and by extension, one's state of consciousness.
