Regarding music. the uncanny parallelism between musical transcendent experiences and religious experiences.
from Dr Tow's letter:
"God's Gift
Sweetest gift that mortals know,
Sounds of heaven giv'n below;
Touching heart and moving soul;
Blessing men from pole to pole."
No wonder there is something so different, so special about music. It is something from heaven, from eternity. We will be singing praises for all eternity; we will be singing a new song in His presence.
"The world's music will hook your children into the world just as surely as drugs or booze."
Exactly like what was discussed in the Music and Health lecture: Music works like drugs and sex. It is something that has always puzzled evolutionists - what value does music add to survival value? just like our appreciation for beauty. and when they cannot explain these, they always ascribe it to sexual reasons - for mating and procreation. is there any wonder why music and art are becoming so perverted nowadays?
