Considering that spiritual enlightenment can only come from<br />

developing a truly non-judgmental perspective, music can be a<br />

great tool to help facilitate that requirement. As humans struggle<br />

with suffering on this plane of existence, music offers something<br />

non-tangible, yet very powerful, as an antidote. It beckons us to<br />

either look deeper or to let go, rejecting the idea of physical security<br />

and worldly permanence. Both reactions work, looking deeper or<br />

letting go.<br />

<strong>Music</strong> reinforces the belief that there’s more to the picture and<br />

galvanizes faith in that belief. It allows you to mindfully float through<br />

your present place and time, giving you a fresh point of view. It’s not<br />

at all unusual for people to listen to music to “escape”. Combining<br />

this well-known fact with a desire to embrace an attitude of “no right,<br />

no wrong” opens the door to the mystery and turns on the light.<br />
