Why I stopped listening to music?
posted 3 years ago by the4thhorseman 3 years ago by the4thhorseman +16 / -3

It drowns our your internal monolog, and replaces with someone else's

It replaces Ponderance with axiomatic statements

It's dull and formulaic,

Plus who owns all the record companies? That in itself is reason enough

You are on right path from my personal experience, if your aim is to unlearn social conditioning etc. Not everyone has this aim though, so not everyone should do this.

This is common among dharmic faiths (Buddhism, Raja Yoga, Jainism etc.). Those who wish to follow the yogic path abandon pleasure seeking (among other things) during their training, as it prevents the mind from quietening down enough to enable rapid spiritual progress (a side effect is unlearning all forms of conditioning including that of the faith itself).

By the time they come out of training, their natural state of being is already ecstatic enough they don't desire any further pleasure. Example:

Richard Alpert (who later took up Yoga and became Ram Dass) was a Harvard psychology professor, who once went to India and met the Hindu Yogi by the name of Neem Karoli Baba. He gave the man 1200 mcg of pure LSD (4x the typical users' upper limit). The man felt nothing. "LSD didn’t affect Maharajji, Ram Dass implied, because the guru already had such a profoundly mystical outlook."

Once your mind is quiet enough, you notice that any music of any kind will create "ripples" in this calm mind, disturbing the quietness within. It takes a while for the mind to become quiet again. But to notice that, you must first reach that level of quietness of the mind. The quietness actually allows the satisfaction emanating from within to pervade the mind. If you are interested in this kind of thing start practicing. Here's an source that presents authentic information rather than the New Age nonsense on Amazon.com:

Not a problem at all. A strong desire for learning the truth is the first step. Subconsciously, that desire will guide you to the right path for you. I hope you find truth. I hope we all do...
