Awakened Bands/Musicians

[Parsons]

Do you think these musicians are really awakened and consciously promoting these messages as part of an "agenda of awakening" or do you think they are using their art to express subconscious ideas that they aren't able to express otherwise?

I have pondered this quite a bit. Specifically, I think the 4 bands mentioned in my original post are 'awake' to some degree. Tool I'm nearly 100% sure they are awake based on their lyrics, music videos, and artwork. Alex Grey, that made the Tool music videos and some of the album covers founded CoSM:
"The Chapel of Sacred Mirrors, CoSM, is a sanctuary for seeing ourselves, the world, and our cosmos as reflections of the Divine. CoSM's mission is to build a temple to preserve and share a collection of visionary art beloved by a global community."

Honestly, the primary contributing factor to my own awakening was Tool before I found the LOO. An example is I took the mantra to heart "think for yourself, question authority" used in the live version of Third Eye.
