The Most Powerful Drug of Our Era?

This drug is freely available. It crosses borders and customs unnoticed. This drug takes your body, mind and soul and forces them to the beat of its drums.

Music is the hardest drug and most powerful medicine of our era. The power of its impact is based on wide social acceptance and therefore allowance. Music, although sneakily uniting, is not prohibited.

The mind-shattering and -uniting power of music is acknowledged, however. When there’s a tight power grip, let’s say military dictatorship, the establishment is sure to tie the tongues of artists. Ask Paulo Coelho. These are not faraway stories from history books but life events of people who walk among us and whose books we’re reading. Before books Coelho wrote lyrics that got him tortured.

Music is the most impactful of producible and replayable forces…

Easy manual: you can start using music by the push of a button.

Precise targeting: choose a soundscape > choose the approaching mindscape.

Speed: the effects are immediate. They last as long as you maintain the vibe.

Availability: it is ridiculously easy to get your mind on music. In the 2020’s access is practically unlimited.

Dosing: completely controllable.

If you know how to use this medicine, there are no negative side effects. But just like with about any stimulus, you are able to abuse it to your despair, too. Pitfalls include soul sucking sounds & lyrics, beware. Empty does not fulfill.

Choose your meds wisely.

Just don’t let the every day saturated soundscape numb and strive you thinking music as mundane. Don’t take part in the tragedy of deaf ears and stiff hips. Your spine called me and said it wants a stroll.
