Yeah, okay.... I'll just tune em out. It ain't like they're sayin'
nuthin' new!
So now I'm talking to Warmroom. ***Denialists may filter this series***
by my name, or via Subject-lines starting with WmRm. Or if you insist,
we'll have to start a new list. Ready? Close your eyes...

(Denialists gone?) My new general motto:

But this, now, is important. Here's a little piece more, for the chain
of causality I'm trying to postulate:
When Kate says, "Synchronise rhythms now," maybe it's not "just a
metaphor." Maybe *emotions* in the brain and body (and breathing) *do*
have distinct, someday-scientifically-mappable *rhythms*, so that people
can move *into* phase (if their emotions have the same cycle-length) or
out of phase (when they don't). (Don't kid yourself that science knows
anything much yet, about emotions! Psych 101 is still a long long long
long way from "The Dreaming".)
So when we listen to emotional music, ***maybe*** our emotional rhythms
naturally move *into* phase with it, the better to savor it at full
intensity, and our *brainwaves*, or the slow rhythms of our breathing, or
our heartbeats, or a billion other sorts of rhythmic biological signal,
really maybe might *gently color*, in a perfectly *asimovian* way ( ;^),
the physical fieldstrengths thruout the room, including necessarily the
*read* mechanism of the stereo as it plays, to any least infinitesimal
degree *sufficient to leave a mark*...
(But CDs, see, being digital, can't take *any* mark, unless it's
imprinted thru a zero toggling into a one, or back, which, *by design*
almost literally *never* happens... )
