FINALLY!...THE Latest Perfect Religion ...(I Believe)

.....YES...THE RELIGION OF MUSIC IS NOW OPEN FOR ALL.....

.....I have spoke of this new religion, on other threads, in a slightly tongue -in -cheek style, because it comes pretty strong and I didn't want to be too much associated with other religions. I am so serious about this that for many years,on certain forms that I filled out, I put Music, when asked to state my reigion. Music is my idea of a bridge between religion and the more important...Spirituallity....
.....Why Music?...Because music a universal language, and method of communication...God, or whatever you choose to call the the esscence of existence, theoretically assumed to be "omnicient, or Perfect. Mankind is assumed to be imperfect . However, Man can achieve perfection in Music. There is perfect timing, perfect rhythmn, and perfect pitch.* Ever here a caucasion say, "You Blacks have rhythmn. We whites don't." ..WRONG Exclamation
.....Every living animal has it. If you didn't, your heart wouldn't beat virtually perfect, from birth to death. What people are refering to, in that instance, is a conscious rhythmn. It comes about from a more developed, and evolved brain. (O-o-o...that's gotta sting Sad )
....Anyway, It's important, members either, can either make and/or appreciate music.This is not a deal breaker, but it's hard for me to imagine a human that isn't covered by that "mandate" ( sorta')
.....There are no official ministers, but anyone wh understands, and shares is a ministers. the only temple or churh, is of course the body. There are no ceremonies, symbols, trinkets. holy books, or gadjets. No holy lands, or positions. ( deacons, messengers.etc.) No official name for God, Allah or whatever No sacrifices, rituals, or prayers. When you are thinkinking you are praying. No compulsory genuflecttion any material, or spirtual being.
.....You are responsible as a man or woman, adhering to your own code of ethics. After all these don'ts. there is one essential mandate, and on this mandate, is the foundation of my religion, when you agree to this, It's "OUR" religion. and the non-negtiotiable. sole dictum is:

.....You must promise yourself, and God.(my choice of name), that you will sincerely endeavor to[ BE NICE TO ,AND RESPECT, EVERY HUMAN BEING]you encounter. ( for exceptions, use common sense, and don't bring it to me for purpose, of debate)

.....I will my state the code of ethics, aand principals that I choose to live
by.: A) I beleive in God...
......B) I try to always; Be true to myself
......C) I treat people like I want to be treated

So there it is If this is something you'd like to live by, POOF!,...You are a member. Please don't try to force it on anyone, but if the subject should come up...Spread the word, One lover of peace and love at a time.

...* Think about a symphony orchestra, hitting every note on time, everytime...That has to be perfection.

.....From time to time, iwill state a quote from the book of the Boo, that show certain detailed homilies that help to state some of my thoughts, with a bit of extra elucidation.....I'll start things off with the following staement,plus, my signature line. So here's looking at you, Grasshpper. Cool

.....Oh Yes...."As God is love.....God is Thought"......_Book of the Boo Cool

Yes very beautiful Ideas you have,my dear friend!
I totally agree with you and I would say for those who are able to go deeply in symbolism that sound and its vibration is the very core of the human soul.
In the Bible and Hinduism all physical manifestation come from the Verb/Om wave!
Very Happy
Inspired Souls, chant Gods Name and no other practices are necessary for true happiness!

I, who am a non-believer in the usual sense of the term, have always felt closest to the universe when listening to a symphony orchestra. I think that you may be onto something, Boo! Very Happy

Unfortunately to many of us have tin ears.

That aside what you are preaching is the old axiom of "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," that should be enough religion for all.

Of course if it did come to be accepted it would throw many people in the business of religion out of work. They will have to find something more productive and worthwhile to do inorder to earn a living

Yes, music is spiritual; there is no doubt about it. Music is flowing like an eternal spring and like our spiritual nature. Stop the flowing and what do you get? Drought, dead music, and dried-up reactionary dogma in place of a feeling spirituality.

One thing about music; it doesn't matter what kind you like. What appears silly to one person is spliritually ecstatic to another.

True for Mahler.
Every planet has its sound more or less sacred more or less Major( or minor).
The vast and infinite cosmos is truely a synthesis of different bands,or orcherstras.
Whales have quite a similar method of expression in the ocean. :wink:
If man renders the life on this planet sacred by following Divine principles like Truth,Love,Compassion,Right conduct,Peace, then our planet will have more powerfull resound in our system and universe and will certanly attract better vibes from above.
It would be an incredible advancement,progress - for mankind,for us!

Now See, I didn't know about the planets,and sound. I t just goes to show, no matter what your geographic location, and cultural influences are, the truth can find you if you'll just use your God given brain.
Au1929,
.....I could never understand how a person could make a living spreading the word. but this just shows how far religion has sunk from it's original function. You see,actually your (and my) African ancestors carried their religion 24/7. EVERYONE was a minister.
.....And in my studies of virtually all major religion and philosohies of the world I found an essential truth, that permeates all of them. Plus.I feel that astrology and numerology, are as valid, as the rest. Not the newspaper amusment brand. but rather, the original fundementals.

I'm quoting myself because I wanted to clarify what an eternal spring is. Eternal doesn't mean a spring that flows forever, instead it means a spring that is constantly renewing itself. The eternity is the constant newness of the flow. "Life springs eternal" is not concerned with time; it's the constant flowing of a creative mind. All creativity if eternal in this sense.

We use our mind, the brain is what Doctors see on a radiography...
Vibration,language is truely magic If one learns to use it.
And through music or poetry it can reach easely emototional "body" and human feelings.The sound is magic.
Astrology and numerology are as divine as religion or science.

Booman, I'd like to congratulate you on being the first person I've ever met who's turned music into a religion - and with good reason! Music speaks to the soul with its rhytmic flow and melodic tonality, through which perfection itself can be achieved. I am now a devoted and gleeful member of the Religion of Music.

Maybe, then, all the various aspects of music are symbolic of a truth about life, from the largo minor arpeggios and their brooding sorrow to the allegretto major runs of joy. The diminished chords represent those falling from grace, as the suspended chords represent the ending of even the good things in life. Perhaps, too, the improvisational aspect of contemporary styles reflects the chaotic aspect of life, the one element that we simply cannot control in circumstances that we want complete authority over! I know I've probably taken this metaphor too far - but that was pretty much my intention.

I particularly liked your mentioning of the rhythms of a heartbeat and the fact that rhythm is not racially discriminating, even to caucasians. I'm living proof - 16-year-old white boy who plays piano, guitar, oboe, saxophone, and mallet percussion... just think, whitey, you too can be musical!

I, too, think Boo is onto something there. Everybody has rhythm, or should find it. Hop out of bed with a rhythm, take a shower with that rhythm. Move, for God's sake, like there is a purpose in your life. When you move with your own rhythm, you create a purpose for your every move, appear confident and people just move the hell out of your way.

I ride horses, and the best advice I've heard when it comes to "natural horsemanship" is to keep a rhythm going the second you fetch the animal, while tacking them up, riding them. As I lounged my horse (in a circle) it was for the express purpose of developing the rhythm by stomping to the beat of four. Try to train a dog without rhythm! You can't.

And, yes, music can be a religion. In our church it's the good music that touches my soul and makes me cry. A minister's talk with no rhythm leaves people fidgity and bored.

I visited a Baptist church recently to hear a singing group (of 7) from South Africa. What they talked about was their ministry, which was music. The voices would hit notes in a strange sort of way that resulted in a sort of vibration in my head. These young men were brought up by fundamentalist missionaries, but, somewhere along the way they've traveled way beyond the people they were singing to in that Baptist church. They knew it, too.

Rhythm, music. Humans couldn't live without it, or some of us wish none would. Just think, no more wishy-washy teachers, employers, those people, you know, who live by sucking up energy from others and using it for themselves.

The metronome could be a rather lucrative business.

I heard it said that someone had actually recorded the music of the spheres. Sure would like to find it.

Booman makes Music the Universal Religion, and I want to join!

But there is already the first church:

The Jazz Church of St. John Coltrane
