Change in the taste of music

[kilaya]

I have experienced the same. The desire to listen to recorded music and even watch my all-time favorite movies has just fallen away. In a way this feels strange, to have desires that were strong and long-standing just disappear without a trace. Gives me more time to meditate for sure.

Socrates actually taught in the 5th c BC Greece that all creative works have a very powerful impact on its listeners/watchers that is hard to perceive but is long lasting in its potential harm (& potential support as well) to the soul. He said that even very wise people enjoy many forms of entertainment (those of his day: poetry, song and theater principally) without realizing the negative impacts. For that reason he promoted censorship of all such works of art using the discrimination of spiritual masters.
