Tantric Art - Composing Music For The Goddess Kali
We hope that this will be a truly inspiring article for whoever wishes a deeper understanding of spirituality and/or art and the creative process. The subject of our article is how to make music for the great tantric Goddess Kali. Naturally we will start of with a short description of the Goddess followed by an introduction to the revolutionary law of resonance. Finally we will end with a description of how an artist can use this law in the creation of his work. We hope that this article is of interest to artists and spiritual seekers.
About Kali
Kali is the first of the 10 wisdom Goddesses in the tantric tradition. She has black skin, four arms, open glaring eyes and a necklace of severed heads. She dances on the graves in the cemetary and laughs loudly and shrilly at the ignorance and attachments of us humans. She stands for the concepts of time and death, concepts which we humans fear and that is why she is portrayed as being so terrible.
Indeed she is a terrible goddess to behold, especially for those who are not initiated in her ways. But if you have courage and you dare to study and meditate subjects such as time and death her grace will be revealed to you!
About resonance
Tantra teaches us about the law of resonance which is in essence the law of attraction, just more profoundly described.
The universe consists of energy which vibrates with different frequencies. Energies with the same frequency will attract one another and start to 'resonate' together. In this process information is exchanged between the two energies.
During the day we move through different resonance spheres or areas and our moods and feelings react accordingly. If we are in a place where there is an 'angry' resonance we will also become angry if we have the energy of anger within us. The energy of anger in the place and our energy of anger will start to 'resonate' with each other.
If we are in a place with a hectic on edge vibe such as a football stadium watching an exciting game, we will for sure soak up that energy and resonate with it. If the place is serene and calm we in turn will become serene and calm.
A similar resonance can exist in a landscape, a color, in a room etc. If the resonance is the same for these different mediums we will start to feel the same resonance no matter if we were in the landscape or in the room. Music is the most powerful resonator as it can very precisely convey a certain feeling or mood.
For example, if you listen to heavy metal you will enter into states of rage, hatred and destruction. You will enter into a state of resonance with the people who made the music and the state that they were in when they made the music. You will enter into resonance with all the people who listen to that music and who resonate with that state. You will start downloading all their negativity and hatred.
Alternatively if you listen to beautiful music you will enter states of beauty and harmony.
One of the quickest ways of entering into a state of meditation with a specific aspect is by meditating with music which has the resonance of that aspect, which is why music is so efficient in "jump starting" us to enter the desired mood.
Art and resonance
If you want to make music or art with a certain specific mood, you have to immerse yourself in that mood. You have to study it by looking at pictures and listening to music which conveys that mood. You have to act according to the mood as if it were already in you. In this way you will through the process of resonance, start to download the necessary information for the creation of the artwork.
Through contemplation of an object you can enter into a state of resonance with that object and you will be able to very precisely convey the mood inherent in the object to anybody else who contemplates your art. The art that has the deepest impact on people is the art which most precisely conveys the resonance the artist consciously immersed himself into while creating the artwork. This is the hidden secret to any great piece of art.
Applying this knowledge to create music with Kali
Studying Kali will bring with it deep meditation and speculation on the subjects of life, death and time. These subjects might indeed be terrifying for those who have not delved more in them.
The music created by such a contemplation on Kali will very likely also convey a feeling of terror. This can be done by using drones and strong percussive elements. Also the minor tonalities from Arabia and India give an aura of mystique and danger.
After a long contemplation on Kali, one would hopefully have a higher intuitive notion of life and death which will lead to an opening in the heart. This heightened feeling of love will then also be inherent in the music. Music with Kali has to convey this feeling of danger and terror but also this great opening of the heart which comes after understanding the deeper meaning of life and death.
I hope that the article gave you a taste of what it is to be a tantric composer using the law of resonance to create artworks for Goddesses! - 18424
