Music Endeavor Should begin
and End with God part 2
Some musicians are now
so squeezed into the world’s mold that they do not seem to realize that the
whole belief-system that music is amoral is the result of autonomous music
philosophy. It is no wonder that you can
trust a humanist to conclude that all music endeavors begins and ends with
man. The philosophical bias of a
humanist will always be that all meaning in life (if there is meaning in life)
will be the result of self-actualization and the act of a person’s free will.
This musical mind
believes wholeheartedly that in the beginning was “ameba” or worse yet in the
beginning was “nothing”. This musician
believes within himself that man came from nowhere and is ultimately going
nowhere. It is not hard for him to
believe that man exists in a purposeless universe and that he is “caught in the
wheel of time”. This musician also
believes that music came from nowhere and is ultimately going nowhere.
To this humanistic
musician the only thing that really matters is “me”. This type of thinker concludes that music is
amoral since man is God and God is man therefore God is in man because man
created God. So, man is God of his music. Any music that he composes or performs is God’s
music i.e. all man’s music is created in God’s image since God is created in
man’s image. Any music that pleases man
will also please God and conversely no music that displeases man is pleasing to
God. So, if you can wade through all the
previous mumbo-jumbo, you will be able to understand why a synthesis thinking
religious humanist, who is autonomous, believes that all musical roads lead to
heaven – why there is no profundity in music – why all music is appropriate for
public worship and ultimately why music is all a matter of taste.
Thought
for the Day
A musician will either say to God, “Your will
be done in all my musicing” or God will say to that musician, “You can have
your own way if you are going to refuse to retain my knowledge in all your
musicing.”
