Interesting method to see how God-like (loving) you already are, using music.

[Vynce]

Someone wise in this from said, that there will always be new methods to do spirituality. So this is what I found: 

Most of you surely have a Spotify account or a similar music-listening app, where you have all your favorite music listed up. 

You have specific music genres, which you favor more than others. Also notice that there are some genres, which you have never really listened to (and would never think of listening to).

But now I want you to listen to music, which you absolutely don't like and see what happens. What part of your psyche rejects the music? 

Contemplate why your psyche is causing suffering with some noises, rather than other (your favorite) noises. 

Also try to see if you really dislike the music itself, or rather the audience, which is most commonly associated with that music. I struggled with the latter a lot. 

I personally noticed, that I felt surprised by how understanding and almost appreciative I felt, when trying this exercise, with an open mind.

I guess you can get a little sneak peak how God's love functions, if you find beauty and understanding in every music. 

 

At last: here is my example list, which music I found awful, but tried listening to with an open heart:

 

German gangster rap 

Turkish Basar music

High School Musical Songs

Overly emotional love and romance songs

Radical political music 

 

God loves it all - endlessly and equal

same with food eat the food you loathe and you will soon love

you can then go to the market without any list and feel like the kid in the candy store

let god choose everything in your life!

you may become very boring at parties when people ask you so what are your tastes preferences opinions

it's all good, it's all god

Heh... I don't have that much of a problem with German Gangster Rap, but I guess my nemesis would be German Schlager. I am not kidding when I say that I have more love for Adolf Hitler than for Schlager music. Lol

Bro, Schlager is torture... No thanks, I'd rather keep listening to Michael Jackson - Schlager doesn't exist apart from my imagination anyways, so why imagine it in the first place ^^

@Gregory1

Agreed.

I would much rather listen to your singing... just checked out your Youtube channel. Good stuff my man, keep 'em coming!
