Music, is the new religion
12.05AM. Jaipur.
I’m standing in my balcony, with my eyes to the sky. Everyone’s asleep in the house. A cold breeze sweeps across my face. I take out my phone, plug in my fake iPhone earphones that I bought from Amazon for 300 bucks, and I close my eyes.
And that’s how it started. My connection to music.
I started listening to Electronic Music a decade back. No lyrics. No words. Only pure energy. I don’t know what it was about EDM, but I was instantly hooked. Each track had a feeling to it. A deeper meaning. A puzzle waiting for you to solve. To understand the mysteries of the universe. To understand the purpose of life.
It is how I understood that most beautiful things in this world, cannot be expressed in words.
It would elevate me to a state of mind I had not known. It’s not something you can express in words, but listening to trance standing on that balcony at night - I felt true freedom.
A feeling that anything was possible. That there was unlimited energy that I could harness from the Universe and send it to my loved ones. That I could talk to my future self. That maybe time was an illusion and that everything was happening all at once.
That maybe, just maybe - music could save this world & all of humanity.
Religion. Caste. Nationalism. Politics. Race. Money.
These are the tools that we’ve used over the years to create a massive divide between human beings and all other living things. The idea that we’re separate is so deeply rooted in our subconscious, you won’t believe me when I tell you that we’re all part of the same energy source.
The original purpose of religion [I believe] was to bring people together. To remind us that God resides within each one of us. To love each other. To becomes the grandest version of ourself. I’m not sure if that is what’s happening right now.
People are divided more than ever. Clamoring over gods. Killing each other. Destroying sacred places. We’ve lost the plot.
And that’s why music is so important.
It brings people together. It’s a gateway to UNLIMITED ENERGY. It helps you reconnect with your highest version. Gives you a glimpse of who you really are. Of the magic that vibrates within each one us.
So, make the most of this gift that we have received from the Universe. Let it inspire you. Let it set your soul on fire. Let it take you places where you could only imagine going.
Let it set you free.
