obsession-
Moore, Forward and Buck believe that rejection is the trigger of obsessive love - also known as love addiction or relationship addiction. They state four conditions to help identify it, namely, a painful and all-consuming preoccupation with a real or wished-for lover, an insatiable longing either to possess or be possessed by the target of their obsession, rejection by or physical and/or emotional unavailability of their target, and being driven to behave in self-defeating ways by this rejection or unavailability.

Prince Studying Musical Affects on the Spirit.

~We know that lyrics can easily be uplifting by what the words are expressing.
~We know that some songs can have a happy sound and the lyrics can be indifferent to the way the music moves you.
~We know that typically a blues song rides on that lonely rhythm concept.

I do believe that Prince has intentions 2 open up the energy centers within the spirit.

If U take into consideration that Hindu, "OHMmm" Bell that resonates and opens the solar plexus energy cener, and U have come 2 understand how music does affect and alert different aspects of yourself, I believe we will be comprehending a little bit of Prince's musical intentions even before his new albums come out.

We can use this thread as a way of discussing past songs and how they have made us feel.
We can try 2 learn together as a group, what tones or pitches or sequences of notes have had a spiritual awareness come with listening to something in particular.

I believe this is a unique and difficult subject to comprehend thoroughly. It would take us all some exploration with concentrating on music to become learned enough to be selective as listeners, and it would most likely be easier 4 Prince 2 manipulate music in this fashion for his listenters, being a musician.
I do believe that you do not have to be able to sing well, to be a professional listesner and worthy of contributing to this endless study, perhaps, science.

Any thoughts?

Just don't forget to take into account the large number of spousal abuse that ranges from emotional and psychological to physical abuse. And also many abusers try to control with money. It is far better to get a divorce from an abusive spouse than to teach children to accept abuse by staying in an abusive marraige..

Thank u ahead of time. Regina

good one!!!

Jimi Hendrix was looking into the same thing before he died. I hope our friend finds what he's looking for.

I can say in my experience, that christian music such as the contemporary songs, can really touch the heart chakra, and have tremendous healing powers.

I especially favor spanish christian music, I am usually in tears when singing these songs, at the moment I am listening to Jesus Adrian Romero he is very annoited from God, his music is touches my heart. I do not listen to secular music accept Prince's music...

To add music can have so much influence on our phycological well being, if we are listening to angry, violent, and or sexual music, then this is what we are going to start to have in our minds, and start feeling, and in some extreme cases start to act out in our lives. There has been alot of controversy about if music (rap music to be exact) was affecting our youth, and many argued (mostly the teenagers themselves) that it had no affect what so ever on them. I know it did, and still does, music is documented as having a direct affect on us.

I think musicians should start to think about how their music is going to affect those who listen to them, if there was more of a responsibility with what they produce, then I believe much more positive things could come about.
