Music?
I don't believe in any god.
I do believe that there exists something in the sort of a creator. I put that very loosely because it is, no doubt, beyond comprehension. None the less, a universe of simple elements has come to represent everything about our existence.
Whats that got to do with music?
A universe of simple elements composed to things as beautiful as the human form, the rising of the sun, sex, drugs, rock and roll. Music, 12 pitches create all (western culture for the past few hundred years) all songs. To experience music honestly and passionately is to know what "God" was thinking when great things are created. Inspiration is divine. Music reveals our true nature. I emphasize music over other arts because it is non-imagerial. The ideas of art are an essential part of what should be the human race's biggest priority, the pursuit of real truth, of freedom and true understanding. Why does this not happen? Because also through music is the "Birth of Tragedy" as Nietzsche put it. We see that all beautiful creations never truely exist as they all come to an inevitable death. Either can happen at any moment and so we, as in the human race, are living in a world of fear. You have to choose freedom or live in fear. True music is always in the process of creation and so it is free. When there is music, there is no room for fear.
If there are any good writers out there who know what I'm trying to say please feel free to clear some of that up. I am stoned after all.
