Is it possible that "the beat" in modern music is a form of mind control and demonic?
06-20-2017, 11:22 AM
This is something I've been researching into in my study of theology and Christianity. Jesus never lost control of himself, not once. In places like Pentecostal churches, the singers often shriek loudly and inanely, yet they claim to be doing so in the name of God. Nearly every sub-sect away from the original Christianity is rooted in pagan ideals and philosophies that work as co-beliefs in the Christian theology. Anyways, on the topic of the soul and not losing control of oneself, from a wide range of things, to greed to wrath to lust to simply allowing the environment or ambiance around you to control your movements or thoughts, many people fall short nowadays.
Think of the modern club scene, something that only came about in the late 20th century to present day, it's a high-tech version of this Voodoo sexual gratification. Darkened, pulsating clubs and raves capture many with their hypnotic sensual atmosphere. Yes in antiquity, there were many orgies with music and food and all kinds of weird rituals in different cultures, but today everything is so synthetic and forced that it is hard to ignore.
I was reading from a plethora of different sites and sources, some I'm sure are unreliable and facetious, but however I noticed the same thing from my studies of music for many years. The beat in Rock n Roll music is based on the rhythmic beating of African voodoo rituals. Unlike Jazz which appeared many decades earlier and has less of a dark underworld connection (although I can't say the same for some free-form jazz), Rock N Roll has some pretty interesting connections to pagan and demigod worship.
Unlike most preachers just shouting "It's the devil's music!" I intended to look beyond the here-say and delve into what really is inside, without exposing myself to all kinds of bad juju. Rumors and admissions of soul-selling aside, the lyrics in most songs were usually absent of demonic powers-that-be or usually written about beta-love type stuff or a myriad of other topics. I could cite sources on lyrics for days but that doesn't mean the music is evil. What I think truly is what engages the hypnotic effect on people is what everybody nowadays likes to call "the beat" or "da beat" depending on which neighborhood you're in. It evolved out of Rock n Roll into other forms including hip hop, gangsta rap, club music, techno music, now house music, and every sub-genre thereof. The only people I know who don't listen to this are the geriatrics who grew up in a different world than all of us.
"Its strength has always been rooted in the sexual energy of its rhythm . . Rock 'n' roll made you want to move and shake and get physically excited."—Janet Podell, Rock Music in America, pp. 46-47
"Its insistent basic backbeat and shuffle rhythms demanded a physical response . . So the harsh, direct syncopation of rock 'n' roll came as a physical manifestation of its content—a challenge to loosen up, to break the old molds of convention and standards of propriety . . The musicians themselves moved and danced as they played, begging the listener to cast off his inhibitions."—William J. Shafer, Rock Music, p. 15.
Think about this. When you're talking to a girl one second, and all of the sudden she hears music the first inclination is to dance and start shaking, forgetting whatever witty or worthless banter you two were engaging in. Even girlfriends, fiances, and wives are no different if they grew up with this. Lots of men do this too so I think its more of a general hypnotic effect than a vagina behavior. However, look at their eyes when this happens. Some girls will close their eyes, others will roll their eyes back into their heads exposing their whites, some people you can even notice a REM-like rapid blinking of their eyes when dancing to the "music." The success behind this format of music is founded on the hypnotic principles of repetition. The constant repetition of the beat causes an instantaneous mental and physical response, while the catchy phrases and repetitive melodies ensure the message is retained and recalled at ease.
I'm going to post the rest of sections from an article on inside rock music, if you want to read the whole thing it's here:

"Spurred by the holy drums [in Central Africa], deep in the meditation of the dance, one is literally entered by a god [demon] . . and it can happen to anyone.
"In Abomey, Africa, these deities that speak through humans are called vodun. The word means 'mysteries.' From their vodun (also called voden) comes our Voodoo, and it is to Voodoo that we must look for the roots of our music . . Voodoo is not so much Africa in the new World as it is Africa meeting the New World, absorbing it and being absorbed by it . . Protestantism and Voodoo are always at odds. A Haitian saying goes, 'If you want the loa [a voodoo god] to leave you alone—become a Protestant [believer]' . .
"Elvis Presley was the first product of African music in America which the official culture could not ignore . . When whites started playing rock 'n' roll, the whole aesthetic of Western performance changed . . Spurred by a god within him, the devotee . . throws himself into a series of improvisations [bodily movements] . . The audience is not taken in: it is to the loa [Voodoo god] and not the loa's servant [the performer] that their admiration goes out.
"The Voodoo rite of [demon] possession by the god became the standard of American performance in rock 'n' roll. Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, James Brown, Janis Joplin, Tina Turner, Jim Morrison, Johnny Rotten, Prince;—they let themselves be possessed not by any god they could name but by the supernatural spirit they felt in the music . . Western performers transmitted their possession through their voice and their dance to their audience, even through their records.
"From the first, this music has felt like an attack on the institutions [marriage, the family, the church, etc.]—and that was what it was attacking . . 'If I told you what our music is really about, we'd probably all get arrested,' Bob Dylan told an interviewer in 1965. It is a music that won't stop, and it won't leave us alone. It speaks through the body and invokes the spirit."—Michael Ventura, "Hear that Long Snake moan," Whole Earth Review, Spring 1987, pp. 28-43; and Summer 1987, pp. 82-92.
n the following passage, the author refers to the demons as "gods," because that is what the native musicians and worshipers call them. But they are actually demons which, at the sound of the drum rhythms, come and enter those in attendance."
I'm sure many are aware of this already, but today's music scene is on a whole 'nother level than the 50's and 60's where this emerged. Rock has all but been forgotten by today's youths, with all the useful-idiot cookie-cutter rap and hip hop and pop types garnering worship and fancying themselves as gods among men. But has the beat changed? hardly. It's just assumed another form.
The music today that most closely resembles the Voodoo ritual dance music is rap. As in Voodoo, it is the bare essentials of the beat that form the basis of rap music. On top of the beat is heard the monotonous chanting of the rappers.
In this musical environment, listeners can easily slip into a hypnotic drug-and-music-induced stupor, losing control of the master brain. This opens them up to the power of suggestion and lessens their ability to reason. The music becomes the hypnotic tool, opening the mind to receive the messages that demons want to implant. Digitize and modernize Voodoo music, and you end up with rap.
There is nothing new about rap or the endless beats heard pumping through clubs and raves around the world. Inside these temples of modern paganism, today's youth revel in their rebellious freedom. Half-naked bodies, writhing in sweat and saturated in drugs and alcohol, worship the gods of conceit and sexual expression.
What these young people don't understand is that they are repeating a ritual that has formed the basis of Satan worship and pagan ceremony for thousands of years. Whether we like it or not, the ingredients that make a Voodoo ritual ceremony such a satanic success are the very same ones that keep dance parties thriving today. No true child of God will be found in their association.
"But why do the natives want to call the demons to come and possess them? Because the people have learned that when the demons enter their bodies,—the people feel excited and exhilarate,, and want to wave their arms, dance around wildly, and fall on the floor in apparent ecstasy.
While they are gathered together, the demons give them—what seems to be—a glorious feeling of excitement and exaltation. Amid the excitement of these native rituals, the natives are urged to want to have sexual intercourse with one another.
But then afterward, those demons—still in their bodies—give them feelings of depression and anger, and gradually lead them to acts of violence."
One of the ways to break free of the death cult that is modern day society is to turn the music off. All of it. I can think of few genres where there is no connection to the darkness. But the Christian peace-love rock band types? Forget them, they don't preach the true word, just another subterfuge for feel-good politics.
Now for those horny bastards out there who want to seduce women, using music as a means of engaging them in a form of hypnosis to allow you to have your way with them is too easy. But not for the Christian. Perhaps one of the ways a society can be rid of corruption within is to rid itself of decades of culture and music, an impossible feat.
The "beat" is everywhere now. What effect does it have on you?
