I was just thinking about this when something occurred to me. You see, I feel that the only real 'evil' is ignorance itself, and amnesia from the only truth....which is Infinite Love; Oneness. Everything else is illusion.

Well, if creation came to be through sound....then we realize just how significant music is. Music has the power to heal, uplift, make us feel energized, amongst a number of things.

Therefor.....I was just wondering.....
Could there be a specific melody or sound in our universe that could help to awaken the most ignorant/evil of beings?????

That's an interesting question and I decided to think out of the box, to challenge myself. Let me see what I can say to that...

A particular sound...? Hmmm... I don't know if there's a particular sound that could cure "evil", but (and I am just speculating) I think that if you can get an "evil" person to see (hear) beauty in a sound, you have cured him/her in some degree.

I think the ability to see beauty in anything means that you have learned to appreciate it, therefore one can not do an evil deed to hurt something they love, in something one finds beautiful and/or one appreciates.

Therefore, maybe any sound or anything can cure "evil", the evil must just be replaced by Love...

So, say I was evil, and I am going around killing things, hurting things and hating things, then... someone would just need to make me see the beauty in all these things that I detest and that would stop me from hurting them. By seeing their beauty, I would value them, appreciate them, feel the need to protect their beauty, and not to detroy them.

So, music can cure evil, I guess. Anything can cure evil, just as long as it fills your being with beauty, appreciation, and love.

Maybe this object (or sound) doesn't need to initially be "beautiful" to you, but by changing your perrspective on it, you end up being able see its beauty.

May I suggest watching a fairly new release movie as well: "Black Snake Moan" it's funny as h. e. double hockey sticks as well as along these lines.

Starring: Samuel L. Jackson, Christina Ricci, and Justin Timberlake

When a weathered, God-fearing ex-blues musician finds the town nymphomaniac severely beaten and left for dead on the side of the road, he vows to cure her of her wicked ways in Hustle & Flow director Craig Brewer's raw and unflinching follow-up. Lazarus (Samuel L. Jackson) is a hard-living ex-blues guitarist for whom the troubled days are beginning to outnumber the good. Rae (Christina Ricci) is a 22-year-old sex addict whose wild ways are finally about to catch up with her. When Lazarus discovers Rae covered in dust and clinging to life on the side of the road, he takes her in and nurses her back to health; but Lazarus isn't your typical caregiver, he's more concerned for Rae's immortal soul than he is for her physical well-being. Now, after chaining Rae down and employing the power of the Good Book to curb the salacious seductress' hedonistic ways, Lazarus will be forced to confront his own darkest demons in order to save the soul of a woman whose one-way ticket to hell has already been paid in full. Now, as Lazarus wages a righteous struggle to redeem the soul of the fallen Rae while simultaneously ensuring that his own life hasn't been lived in vain, the situation threatens to explode as Rae's possessive boyfriend, Ronnie (Justin Timberlake) -- a roughneck Guardsman currently preparing for a tour of duty in Iraq -- comes searching for his missing lover. ~

Look at the emo kids for example. Nearly everything they listen to are either very very loud electric guitars or screamo bands.

I think its how people relate to music emotionally.

I hear what you say, Happy Dragon. I think the person would have to already be open spiritually to hear certain keys to soul, love and oneness in music. They would have to be 'attuned' to it.

I wish there was a way. I wish I could just scream and stop it all. I wish that no-one had the damned free will to ever EVER abuse a helpless, innocent being.

And... its all just experience. Its our judgement that makes us feel all that pain. Nothing is good and nothing is bad, its all just experience.
