Someone raised their hand and relayed an experience about a certain piece of music in 1993, they said when they heard it they found god. The weird thing about a person talking like that is whatever you think god is, could never be something you are separate from. You didn&#8217;t invent your cellular activity, your toenails or your thoughts. If there is god it isn&#8217;t outside somewhere waiting for the two of you to hi five. Finding god, like looking for god, implies god occupies a separate space somewhere. It might be instead that the force of life inside everything that is living is a unifying force of life, doing what it&#8217;s suppose to do. Like the way your cells know how to react to a bee sting or the way the Earth knows to be rotating or the way your mind is certain that you are a separate creature and everything else is separate from everything else. I wondered if I shared this position with a fellow participant, if they would be amused or call security on me.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"6a21t\" data-offset-key=\"do6fg-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"do6fg-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"do6fg-0-0\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"6a21t\" data-offset-key=\"bckss-0-0\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the conference there was a panel discussion about music &amp; spiritual experiences.
