INCANTATIONS, SOUL PRESENCE, PROGRAMMING OF THE SUBCONSCIOUS (NLP), FLOW-STATE AND THE CREATION OF OUR DESTINY THROUGH ACHIEVING OUR GOALS.
In the history it is well known that the Shakuhachi flute (usually in D4 pentatonic ) was used in a Zen sacred wordless and human voiceless meditation for inner peace and soul consciousness presence.
Similarly the Ney flute (usually chromatically in B3, starting from A3) was used for sacred pray , ceremonies and wordless and human voiceless meditation.
The aulos winds in Ancient Greece and Hellenistic period in religious ceremonies.
And the Bansuri flute (in E4 major starting from B3) in Hindustani sacred wordless and human voiceless meditation.
It is often considered that wordless and human voiceless incantation and meditation for inner peace and soul consciousness presence may become stronger than the voiced (inner or out) with words incantation!
It is the wordless part here which is important. Animals do sing (e.g. birds) But most of them although communicate partially with wordless telepathy , they do not organize sounds in words with syntax. It is said that that the whistling of the Dolphins and Whales is an exception of an organized trinary language as they say that they are sentient animals and not simply animals.
Sometimes humans also do not have the appropriate words or concepts for inner communication with the soul consciousness, and therefore a musical soundscape maybe closer to the abstract mind which is closer to the soul consciousness compared to the concrete mind.
There is also the breath awareness that the flute require and the breath is a gate between the conscious and subconscious, as breathing is controlled both consciously and subconsciously. As a contrast the heart beating is controlled mostly subconsciously.
Tony Robins a renowned coach of personal development, insists that incantations even with outspoken words are his daily practice (10 mins minimum per day) for creating his belief system and programming his subconscious mind , and strengthening his desires for the goals his has set. He explains that incantations create a heightened excitement emotional state which metaphorically speaking is like "the fire needed to shape a metal" in programming the subconscious (NLP=neuro-linguistic programming) for the appropriate beliefs and resources so as to achieve our own set worthy goals. The sounded of an incantation and or an accompanying musical instrument is also a response stimuli bases on our beliefs system, for the right inner state.He explains also that incantations involve most of the functions of the inner and outer senses, like vision, hearing, kin-aesthetics etc therefore it is an integrated training of the subconscious and the body for the necessary resources and entering the "flow-state" for achieving our goals and desired states of existence.
Magnetic scans of the human brain during playing of a musical instrument show a unprecedented activation of almost all the parts of the human brain, the centers of vision, the centers of hearing, the centers of motions control, the emotional side, etc and no other activity is so catalytic in synthesizing all most all the functions and departments of the brain.
Therefore incantations outspoken or wordless with the help of a musical instruments is an integrated way to create our desired state of existence, achieving our goals and shaping out destiny.
I totally disagree with the "non-strategy" and "no-goals" approach to happiness. I explain why. The emotionally non-duality happiness appears when we activate our volitional side through the gradual step-wise achievement of our worthy goals. We must not forget in which planetary civilization we live. This civilization's impersonal system is designed to enslave indirectly (e.g. through the financial system but not only) the people to unworthy goals under wrong principles and values. By leaving ourselves without our own worthy goals and personalized strategies and "living in the present" as many gurus repeat, we simply allow "the stream of the river" to drift us and become subordinate to the financial oligarchy's unworthy goals. Only the mind through actions, can liberate the soul and for this to happen it is required a clear will for awareness and worthy goals under more advanced principles and values. One more example why the spiritual gurus are welcome by the oligarchy of power: They create for them masses unable to survive by themselves and ready to surrender as workers for their money and unworthy goals. And gurus make money by telling to people what is easy to and likable to listen, but not what is really valuable for their soul-evolution. Masses need to raise their awareness from the hyperbole of emotionalism to awareness of a more wise and abstract but organized thinking through collective socialization. Otherwise without goals and correct thinking they descent not ascent the ladder of self-responsibility. To ascent in the ladder of self-responsibility and frequency of body, plus faster soul-consciousness evolution we must activate the volitional aspect of ourselves through awareness , worthy goals-setting and strategies under better principles-beliefs and values. Then an emotionally non-duality happiness appears which is from the gradual step-wise achievement of our worthy goals. If the civilization's dominant power has wrong goals and wrong thought-forms, the solution to over-come this is not , "not to have goals" or avoid thinking but developing the right principles-beliefs and values for better goals and more true thinking and thought-forms.
