Music: Spiritual Effects of Rock/Metal Music

[loostudent]

Welcome binahtarot!

I wrote in a similar thread:

I used to listen to a lot of heavy metal (mostly progressive) when I was younger. I guess I needed something to awake my masculine energy, courage, readiness to protect and fight, decisiveness, passionate emotions ... I was very very shy. My life was also less stressful, I had more free time ... Now I need more peaceful and sunny music to calm my nerves.

I still listen to some metal and rock. Darkness and agression is typical for this genre but I rather listen to bands that have a positive vibe or address stregth and power from a different perspective. Everytime I hear "Child in Time" I feel the shivers. Or music of Angra (when Matos was in the band), Shadow Gallery, Dream Theater, Rush, Neal Morse ...

As Ra said also about the concepts of the Tree of Life: "The intent of the practitioner in working with these powerful concepts determines the polarity of the working. The tools are the tools." I see the concept of Geburah (Strength) (also Fire and Warrior in other systems) as predominant in metal music. It can easily express anger of separation and negativity but it can also express active love, readiness to deal with the shadow and to do/fight for something positive, hope/never giving up ...
