Boom Cars: Trance Music in Disguise?
VooDoo Drums, Shamanic Drumming and Other Forms of Sacred Music
What could cars that go boom possibly have in common with trance music, incantations, or the summoning of demons? Let's consider for just a moment the characteristics and purposes of the various forms of what is known as sacred music that has been used by every culture and people for millenia. The voodoo drums of Haiti, shamanic drumming, and other forms of ceremonial or trance "music" around the world are played for the performance of incantations and to serve as trance music for one or more individuals. A trance is another word for a state of religious or spiritual ecstasy induced by various methods such as meditation, the use of mind-altering drugs, and sacred music. People who tend to desire to enter into a state of trance include, but are not limited to: shamans, followers of voodoo, psychics, practitioners of any form of witchcraft or magic, and mediums. Incantations and the summoning of demons are carried out to perform curses, which might sometimes be referred to as spells, hexes, charms or enchantment depending on the express purpose/s of the curse. Witchcraft, magic, fortune-telling, astral travel, and the like are said to be arts belonging to the occult. Occult simply refers to something, usually knowledge, that is hidden and/or secret.
What are the characteristics of shamanic drumming and many other types of sacred music and what do they have to do with cars that go boom? According to the website: ShamanicDrumming.com, "Shamanic drumming uses a single, repetitive rhythm played at a tempo of three to four beats per second." The author explains that the Tuvan shaman believes that the spiritual beings in nature have their own world of music and that man can communicate with those beings through sacred or trance music. Explanation on the purpose of this practice continues: "The primary cross-cultural function of shamanic drumming is to induce altered states of consciousness for both journey and embodiment trances" (ShamanicDrumming.com). We continue learning that, "The usage of repeated rhythms can also induce trance. This is an ancient method used all over the world for inducing trance" (ConversationalHypnosisCritic.com/how-to-induce-trance.php). It's not difficult to see the conclusion: repetitive rhythms should raise a flag that incantations and the summoning of demons through trance music just might be at work through boom cars.
Incantations for the Summoning of Demons Compared to Boom Cars
Again, what does trance music or sacred music or even satanic music have to do with boom cars? The cars that go boom aren't driven by shamans, voodoo followers, or practitioners of the occult. However, are not the rhythms blasted by boom cars repetitive? Yes, they are. There are no lyrics; there is only very slight variation in tune; and there is no melody. This is why they're not called loud music cars. They're not called noise pollution cars; they are called boom cars because that is what they are--cars that go boom and nothing else but a repetitive boom like the repetitive beats of voodoo drums and shamanic drums.
If repetitive drumming and sacred music has the ability to perform incantations and the summoning of demons, why can't boom cars do the same? The shamans know that the spiritual beings they invoke are attracted to repetitive beats. Notice that they do not specify that the beat has to be made by a drum or any specific kind of drum. Not all sacred music for incantations consist purely of repetitive beats; however, repeated rhythms have proven to be very effective in invoking supernatural beings. Remember, incantations can also be performed by chanting without any background music. A chant is a repeat of spoken words. It's obvious that there's supernatural summoning power in repeated rhythms, sounds, and words whether there's willful intent on the part of the music maker or not. People who are not voodoo followers, but who have attended voodoo ceremonies speak of being affected by trance music.
The website of LowerTheBoom.org/problem.htm documents the medically verifiable consequences of being exposed to cars that go boom. Harm to the body, including damage to its cells, organs, the onset of hypertension, loss of hearing, and aggressive behavior has been documented by the World Health Organization (WHO). Is not aggressive behavior that has been induced constitute an altered state of mind? Yes, it does. We learned that repeated rhythms are used for incantations and the summoning of demons and that these two things take place in the pronunciation of a curse. Among the definitions of a curse is an invocation of divine wrath and a thing causing evil.
God's Word on Supernatural Beings and the Definitions of Evil
The article, Is There Such a Thing As Neutral Supernatural Beings? lets us know through the scriptures that all spirits are either holy or unholy; there's no middle ground. Therefore, we ask ourselves if the spirits invoked during the playing of sacred music are all evil. To answer this question we simply consider the things that are practiced in the religions and belief systems that encourage their summoning and compare those things to what God's word says. Deuteronomy 18:10-12 warns, "There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire (be sacrificed to idol gods) or that useth divination (black or "white" magic) or an observer of times (fortune teller) or an enchanter or a witch or a charmer or a consulter with familiar spirits (a medium) or a wizard or a necromancer (someone who talks to the dead) For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord...." Aren't all of these things practiced among those who follow religions and belief systems in which incantations and the invoking of spiritual beings are done? All of them are openly practiced except sacrifice of people, which has become a crime in modern societies. Those who still believe in it must do so in great secrecy.
Now, if the things that God called an abomination are being practice for incantations and curses, it's only logical to know that we are not speaking of the summoning of holy spirits, rather of the summoning of demons or unholy spiritual beings. Also, there's the truth to consider that there's absolutely nothing good that has or ever will come from cars that go boom. Remember, a curse is a thing causing evil and to willfully harm and damage the body that God created is evil. To stress and alter the mind and incite aggressive behavior in others also is the working of evil. Jesus warned, "The thief (Satan) cometh not but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy..." (St. John 10:10). Boom cars steal peace and quiet; boom cars kill kind behavior by inciting aggression and cars that go boom destroy cells of the body and the hearing. They are the work of the thief as evident in today's society. If there was such a thing as another world of beings who visited Earth decades ago and returned to visit in our modern times, they would certainly conclude that the incantations have been successful and that the curse is working. Consider the state of American society that is stressed, rude, aggressive, and extremely dangerous.
Not by Strength Nor Might But by God's Spirit
Most people, including Christians, do not see and do not want to see the spiritual wickedness behind this plague of terrorism by noise as some put it. Those who will open their eyes, however, will better understand why natural methods of fighting a spiritual problem produce limited results. This doesn't mean that we don't continue to work to change legislation or to refuse to be intimidated by noise terrorists, or to complain even if it is anonymously. Nevertheless, Christian believers must pray and they must pray fervently without ceasing because, "...This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts" (Zechariah 4:6). The word "hosts" refers to an army; this scripture refers to the Lord as a God of war, because spiritual warfare is very real and what is taking place.

As a believer in Christian values I am embarrassed by the mindset that produced this article. This is full of fearful ignorance that attempts to throw the baby out with the bath water. Such narrow mindedness is dangerously ignorant. Music is a beautiful gift of the creator capable of soothing beasts. Just because the entertainment industry is largely owned and controlled by evil yew know hews that are casting spells and selling depraved morals does not make music of drums inherently evil. Identify the actual issue before making blanket statements. Just a suggestion, thank you for your efforts I am sure you mean well.

Jerry:
You state that the entertainment industry "does not make music of drums inherently evil." Where in the article did you read that the music of drums is inherently evil? No where. You read NO such thing in the article. You did not read anything that even hinted to that. So, why did you make such a statement? You conveniently dodge the truth of what was said about "a repetitive rhythm played at a tempo of three to four beats per second." Please don't pretend like you don't know the difference between a repetitive rhythm and music.
