True? "Music is most direct path to spiritual world!?"

[jstraw]

Music has demonstrated more facility for getting past my mind to my emotions than any other form of aesthetic stimulation.

[Bruce Watson]

There is no spiritual world, and consequently no paths to it. Music can help you do the right-brain thing, though.

Exactly.

[Doug Dolde]

Total BS.

Perhaps what needs to be defined is "music", not spirituality. My house is inhabited by a veritable cornucopia of musical instruments- keyboards, violin, woodwinds, guitars. But I can unequivocally state that music does not live here, no matter how hard I try. There is spirituality in the instrument however, and I enjoy them as much for being instruments, even as they appear to be devoid of music.
