Steve, what is that R&R you were interested in as a teenager?

When I was just very young I remember hearing rock bands on T.V. I was impressed by the charisma of some of the musicians and the unworldly astral influences some of them could bring into this physical dimension. I remember a monk tell me at the Vivekananda Monastery (Where i lived for years.) that these souls go to certain regions of the astral realms to acquire and learn such gifts. I also soon learned how to solicit the help of spiritual guides to channel music into this physical realm.
Later I expanded this somewhat of a hero worship to great avatars as well- as I realized that they were bringing in much higher strata into this physical realm and that there are many kinds of magnetism. Soon I was performing myself yet somehow my life was always destined to many years in solitary meditation and working with others to bring many together with the same life goal of finding our ultimate liberation.
I will be seeing Amma next week. She is a tremendous spiritual magnet and also uses music to summon Gods' presence.
