EPISODEE 395 THE LAST OF THE DEMON IN THE GALAPAGOS THEIR LAST RESORT WORRY

What could be more urgent than ending the glorification of war, and bringing to justice the handful of corrupt men—Presidents, Popes, and CEO’s—that are its cause?

We are now at the threshold of a tipping point in world consciousness in which the meaning of war has shifted from something necessary and heroic, to a form of collective insanity, like schizophrenia, the left hand of humanity fighting against the right. The world is beginning to see that the price of freedom is no longer war; Clearly, it’s the revolution of thought and consciousness that ends conflict—before—it happens.

Good music, and I mean good in the true and beautiful sense, good music has a magic to it. It hits us, brings forth from us feelings we didn’t know we had. Music can travel us through time, backward and forward. Music moves.

And its not always entirely clear how music does to us what it does. We can take a song that has shaped us, play it for someone else expecting similar magic, only to have them look back at us as if to say, “That’s it?”

But that’s also the beauty behind the bands and artists that make the magic we call music. Even though the songs, melodies, and words stay the same, we all receive them differently.

Just as music has a magic to it, so does scripture. It might not appear as such, hidden away under the dust covered Bibles of our sanctuary or living rooms. But, if you take out the Bible, and flip near the middle, it’s like finding an old mixed tape or CD. 

The psalter is a playlist of the prayers of God’s people.
