Re: A question on music!
This reply is based only on your initial post, Yoda. Since the age of twelve I have 'known' there is a supernatural component to the performance and composing of music. That there was some spirit acting through me, that to some extent I was only a channel. Now, 50 years later, I really do question the 'holiness' of that inspiration.
As much as I chide Prosperity Gospel and its megachurches and megawealthy pastors, I have to admit that between a gifted musician and a charismatic preacher there may not be much difference. It only seems to me that I vilify the fancy preacher and celebrate the gifted musician.
My signature states "...and all beauty is but a symbol of spirit". I'm caught between a rock and a hard place. I guess what I am saying (and I feel pretty comfortable with this) that the musician/artist is not Anointed - nothing sacred about it. I will add however that my experience as a recognized musician - the compliments accorded thereby - was the question that started the search for meaning.
