Document Summary
Music- romans didn"t write any of it down. It may have an emotional response within people, humans have a relationship with it. Influence- magic tells us that influence comes in two forms, fear and desire. Talking about the influence that music has. We listen to the music because of the effect it has. Nothing influences the humans more then fear and desire. Everything we do have a process of desire. Broken down into two categories- erotic (looking at things and humans with longing/possession), the desire to possess. Change- ability (the beginning of magic), we can influence another person. Transcendence- creates ideas that we understand something outside of our selves. Technology- we can influence anything and anyone. Magical behavior, seeks to acquire and refine the ability to influence others. Influencing others has an ancient history- especially the greeks, along with rhetoric. Fear involves choice, entering into a relationship with fear, our influence will fall outside of ourselves.
