Message"He believes that Feng Shui and music went hand and hand"
This was my theory and I also heard a Sarod master explain music in a very similar way, so this is understood in other traditions. But Bagua said I was dead wrong. The basic frame of the house is the rythem and chord progression or tone then everything else is playing on top of this. It mirrors our own musical body. I often us music to explain allot of concepts, if I remember correctly Buddha was finally enlightened when he heard a musician explaining to his student if you tighten a string to much it will brake but if you loosen it to much it will not play. This same sarod player also enforced my belief about the similarities between teaching music and Alchemy. The Sarod player said today there is to much imitation in music not enough emulation. Can you hear the music, are you truly listening? Are you a Jazz player or a Classical musician playing from memory all up in the head? My musical instrument is my body can I make my instrument my heart, and then surrender it to god. Carlos Santana said that what he enjoys about music is "giving and receiving spiritual orgasms". I also find it interesting that both musicians and alchemist both talk about finding there voice.
