Ilchi Lee on the consciousness of Music
admin July 27th, 2008
Young teenagers understand this instinctively, and thus they often seek to define themselves through associations with certain music styles. Unfortunately, the music they seek is not always that which lifts them to higher states; more often they are drawn to music that resonates with their current state of consciousness. Just as they are drawn to other kids with similar levels of consciousness, says Ilchi Lee, they are drawn to music that resonates with their current brain wave patterns. In other words, a dark, angst-ridden teen is likely to be drawn to similarly themed music, where a more happy-go-lucky type might be more inclined to upbeat pop tunes. The same is also true for adults, even if somewhat less obviously.
You can see the effect of music throughout the history of humanity. It is an element that appears in every human culture and thus is often called the “universal language.” Ilchi Lee says music clearly possesses an uncanny ability transform human consciousness. This is evident in the fact that music is an integral part of virtually every spiritual practice on Earth. It also has the power to transform cultures.
A relatively recent example is rock and roll, which brought dramatic social change with it. At the time, people who supported the status quo reacted strongly against the music, sensing the inherent, almost primal power that it contains. In a way, Brain Wave Vibration, created by Ilchi Lee, works very similarly to music like this, its rhythms opening the mind to new experiences and ideas.
