Vibrating in the moment, we are our own teachers. Shortcuts to learning can be achieved through the experience of others, but it is only through the Self, vibrating in the moment, that we truly learn , whether it be encouraged by external teachers or through direct experience.
Music is the grand extension of the inner vibrations of the soul.
The imagination, activated and alive seeks to express itself. We could be talking through any number of disciplines ranging from artistic endeavors to sports, to loving, to developing, to planning, programming, philosophying, computing, etc. Our over-developed society has made the mistake of limiting by catagorizing music into periods and styles, completely undermining the true nature of the soul. In defining music in this way, one can have in our technologically advanced audio world just about any kind of musical style known to the history of man merely by playing sound reproductions on any number of technological media devices. Or he can participate in the trends and powers inherent in the commercial uses of music deriving from the souls, spirits, egos, and minds of practitioners.
