This article will touch upon some, for the most of you, very new concepts. We will speak about the process of composing music for the great tantric Goddess Kali. First off we will give an introduction to who Kali is followed by an introduction to the law of Resonance which is a law that lies at the base of the the law of attraction. The article will end by telling how an artist can use the law of resonance to create his artwork.
Who is Kali?
Kali Ma is the first of the 10 mahavidya, or wisdom goddesses in the tantric tradition. She is portrayed with black skin, 4 arms, wide open glaring eyes, a necklace consisting of severed heads and dances on the graves in the cemetery her tongue lolling wildly out of her big wide open mouth, laughing at the attachments of us mortal humans.
A ghastly sight indeed, she will send shivers down the spine of most who do not yet know her mysterious ways. Now to a few words about resonance. But once you have understood her deeper meaning her grace will reveal itself to you.
The law of Resonance
One of the most profound teachings of the tantric system is the teaching of resonance. The law of attraction which everyone is speaking about now a days is a subset of this law.
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.
We are continually moving through different resonance spheres during the day and our moods and physical well being is continually being affected by these spheres. If we are in a place where the resonance is “angry” we will ourselves become angry.
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.
On the other hand if you listen to harmonious, beautiful music you will go into resonance with harmony and beauty.
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.
By studying the subject/object on which you base your art work you will impregnate your art piece with the resonance of the studied object. Anybody who then contemplates your art will in turn be impregnated by that resonance.
Applying resonance to make 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.
Ultimately Kali will lead the worshipper to a higher state of being, leading to an opening of the heart when the ephemeral has been surpassed and a deeper understanding of life and death has been attained. This opening of the heart can be given through large strings sections and melodic lines which lead from down and up.
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!
