are musiCians closer to GOD

If God is vibration. Or even densety in vibration. Musicians must be closer to God .
What do you thinK?

 

Death Metal.

 

In my mind, Jimi Hendrix is a higher form of life.

No human could do what he did on guitar... :H

 

Well I am sure the dead musicians are fairly close, like Keith Richards. Perhaps they would be closer to god if there was any such thing as god.

 

Case closed.

 

Jimi Hendrix played hard and good.
Are you a musician or a poet?
I want to work with people about that heart song project
I think it is good. Immagine
In the US there are renaisance faires that bring people in quest of magic and fantasy. Artisans jugglers and performers give them their moneys worth and these are highly succesful things.
Some of these last 10 weeks. Example the Maryland renaisance faire.
There are many of these. I do one as an artisan.
Imagine instead of having as a fantasy the period of humainty that with a little study of history is far from being magical (the Renaisance) let us work to create festivals that are succesful as these but their fantasy would be about a better future. With food booths selling good food rather than those damn turkey legs. ( I am a really good vegetarien cook) Though I am vegetarien I can cook a meal with tofu and potatoes that will convert or at least trigger the imagination and the plurality of any carnivore who may think vegetarien food is for people with boring tastes.
Imagine if all the coffee sold at these faires was fair trade coffee.
Imagine a faire where the craftperon is not only a private entrpreneur interested in making beaucoup $$$ but a creator of better dreams.
Imagine if the performers and actors sing and do political environmental or spiritual shows. Where the quality of the performance is so rich that people are left inspired and enriched deeply.
Let us talk about this and other concrete plans and let us pass to action as we keep developing the dream.
Stay with me on this.
Peace

Er, okay, but I don't quite understand what that's got to do with the intitial subject of the thread...

 

i was always told, coming up in a religious family, that any person that has some artistic ability had a gift... i believe it's God, others may think it's from something else. but yes, to be able to do something that the normal citizen, the normal human being cannot do, is indeed something special and should be held with high regard. to realize that something, whether you think it's in the genes or from a higher power, has given you the ability to do such.

 

There is no such thing as a normal citizen, everyone is capable of astounding the rest of us, of course alot of people do not bother to try. Jimi Hendrix was a terrific guitar player, but could he have fixed a car? God does not exist and he has caused so much harm. How can anybody believe when there are so many versions of that one religion.

 

and that's your opinion, as everyone is entitled to their own beliefs...

 

Yes, you are absolutely right. We have both expressed opinions that have reasoning behind them.

 

I'm sorry, but that's just bloody stupid.

 

sorry, but there is no god... sorry to break the news to you over the internet like this... if you need someone's shoulder to cry on... i'll be there.

 

*There is no such thing as a normal citizen,*
I wish it were so but I fear there is a group of people who have shopping marts and headlines between their hearts and their brains.
So I come to these forums fishing.
Have a beuutifull day

Good topic


Musicians who are into their music deeply get into a brainwave state that is similar to that one achieves in meditation and prayer. Tis a fact there - Im not saying that all musicians have this happen every time they play, just that when they are concentrating on their art they can have the same mental state as a monk.

I dont know if that makes them closer to god, but it certainly cant hurt!

I could go on and on, but digress for now.

 

Interesting topic indeed. I think about it in rather the same way Samson explained it shortly.

Maybe you see 'god' a bit too narrow. Did you red how the topicstarter brought it, that's one of many ways to interpretate it.

 

Oh dear lord... NOOOOOO. You can't be serious? This isn't happening... I've been living my entire life in a haze of delusion! I've blindly believed in God my entire life, and now that you've enlightened me... I don't know if I can go on! I'm gonna need to call on that shoulder!!!! ::WAHHHHHHHHHHHH::

Ok, but seriously... yes I do believe musicians are closer to God. I think all artists are, whether they know it or not... God is awareness, and to be an artist requires some form of awareness - an awareness of the beauty of the world, the pain of the world, the joy of the world.

Plus, the art itself is God... art is beauty, art is truth. So, artists are basically channeling God into artwork, in my opinion.

 

I don't know if they are closer to God or not, but I do believe they are blessed with a gift to create, as all artists are, and they can be spirital and are aware of what's around them, again, like all artists, but I do'nt think that necessarily means they're closer to God or more spiritual.
