what proof do you rely? I asked.
I see, he said, certain speech-writers who do not know how to use the special arguments composed by themselves, just as lyre-makers in regard to their lyres: in the former case also there are other persons able to use what the makers produced, while being themselves unable to make the written speech. Hence it is clear that in speech likewise there are two distinct arts, one of making and one of using.
I think you give sufficient proof, I said, that this art of the speech-writers cannot be that whose acquisition would make one happy. And yet I fancied that somewhere about this point would appear the knowledge which we have been seeking all this while.
[289e] For not only do these speech-writers themselves, when I am in their company, impress me as prodigiously clever, Cleinias, but their art itself seems so exalted as to be almost inspired. However, this is not surprising; for it is a part of the SORCERER'S art, epōdōn tekhnēsLatin 289e:Plat. Euthyd. 290a and only slightly inferior to that. The sorcerer's art is the charming of snakes and tarantulas and scorpions and other beasts and diseases, while the other is just the charming and soothing of juries, assemblies [Ekklesia or church], crowds, and so forth. Or does it strike you differently? I asked.

SPEAK
is the OPPOSITE of SING or ODE.
So far I have not found any evidence that music had any other motive but to manipulate people's minds for their own fun or profit. All of the "music' words in the Bible have bitter roots in Lucifer as the source, warriors, exorcists even in the temple, as a tool of the prostitute and Sodomite. Pure musical entertainment rarely existed but had a political or religious motive.
While proving that any reader must grasp that that the word SPEAK is commanded even in the Qahal, synagogue or church in the wilderness, it is almost universally perverted to meant singing and making music. If the word SPEAK is defined as "the opposite of poetry and music" that does not stop people who have an ulterior motive to "bleed off" worship for themselves--and pay them too. Non-instrumentalists are as likely to "restore" the Biblical and historic pattern as the instrumentalists will abandon their sectarianizing use of "machines for doing hard work mostly in making war and in creating the shock and awe" needed to drive people into what hisitory agreed was insanity.
The fact is, this mental derangement has always been the MARK of Apollyon in the Book of Revelation and the PROOF that the "mother goddess" worshipers have taken over. Here is a tidbit from a forum:
piney: "And I doubt that you can find any evidence that singing, clapping and doing complex harmony ever contributes to anything but mental illness."It is doubted that any evidence exists for using the charismatic form of 'music' the churches have found to be effective in filling the pews and colletion plates.
Response: Gee, sorry Piney, but music is one of the tools used to bring calmness and peace and joy to people in the psychiatric wards of hospitals and to learning disabled children, esp. Down's children. It is better than medicine.
Before posting some modern validation for using music in treating mental illness, we should note that it is based on ancient theory which is defined as sorcery when used in a religious sense. The opening basis for using music in certain cases is that::
"Painting, dancing and music have been used for healing since the beginning of humanity. The first documentation of organized use of creative arts therapies comes from the catharic tradition in antiquity. Catharsis was the cleansings of the emotions through poetry, dance, drama and painting."When we take a look at music in treating MENTAL ILLNESS mostly by and among women, we will prove my thesis that in each of these Hostile Takeovers there is a WOMEN acting as MOTHER facilitating the boylings. Therefore, I have to warn the "boys" that history is not going to treat them with respect:
The Here are some ways revivalists have always done this healing. June G. Beltzer, Ph.D., defines various methods used to bypass the rational mind while emplanting the will of the speaker into your emotional being. This is so powerful and is therefore considered mystical or spiritual. Some of these terms are:"It is no accident that a high proportion of those who suddenly show symptoms of being bewitched (such as fainting or going into a semi-trance) at 'squaw dances' or other large gatherings are women or men who are somewhat neglected or who occupy low social status." (Goldschmidt, Walter, Exploring the Ways of Mankind, p. 518, Holt, Rinehart and Winston)
With the progression through each phase, the degree of conversion becomes more effective and complete. The way to achieve conversion are many and varied, but the usual first step in religious or political brainwashing is to work on the emotions of an individual or group until they reach an abnormal level of anger, fear, excitement, or nervous tension.
The progressive result of this mental condition is to impair judgment and increase suggestibility. The more this condition can be maintained or intensified, the more it compounds. Once catharsis, or the first brain phase, is reached, the complete mental takeover becomes easier. Existing mental programming can be replaced with new patterns of thinking and behavior
Other often-used physiological weapons to modify normal brain functions are fasting, radical or high sugar diets, physical discomforts, regulation of breathing, mantra chanting in meditation, the disclosure of awesome mysteries, special lighting and sound effects, programmed response to incense, or intoxicating drugs.

When Jesus spoke of those who cried "lord
lord" as musical prophesiers He said that God does not even
know their names. Sure, they thought they "cast out demons"
from the first recorded history.Premise: Painting, dance and
music have been used for healing, probably since the
beginnings of humanity. The first documentation of organized
use of Creative Art Therapies comes from the cathartic
tradition in antiquity. Catharsis was the cleansing of
emotions through poetry, dance, drama, music and painting. It
was continued by Hippocrates, Acslepios, and Synesios.
Psychologists do not use music to teach, admonish, glorify or
praise God or to comfort one another or to "unison" to keep
the "unity" of the church. These methods aim at
DISSOCIATION which is the proclaimed goal of Promise Keepers,
Jubilee or the Purpose Driven Cult. You have to
dismantle people or in Shelly's words "burn down the old" in
order to rebuild on the ashes of other people's properties.
With the DELIBERATE DISCORDERS plan to DISSOCIATE everyone to
rebuild the ANTI-intrumental Church of Christ into Baptist or
Christian Churches, came the "turn of the century" which has
always caused mental illness among people who believe that the
are called ot be THE CHRIST for your church. The "holiness of
sin" saw the deliberate flaunting of violating "old
traditionalism" and the rise of the MUSES who were Apollyon's
musical worship team. The only problem is that the crooked
generation calls them healers and MEDIATORS but John and all
literate history called the SORCERERS under bondage to the
Mother of Harlots (Rev 17-18). Now, this WASHING BY
MUSIC without the WATER might have been on John's mind--and
certainly on mine.
Socrates: "His name and nature are in harmony; Of Apollo Who is Abbadon or Apollyon:
and in a manner declaring his power in music, prophecy, medicine, and archery. [See our notes on the Twanging bow string as the background to Apollo's end time music]
Pharmakeåia (g5331) far-mak-i'-ah; from 5332; medication ("pharmacy"), i.e. (by extens.) magic (lit. or fig.): - sorcery, witchcraft.
And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all. Rev 18:14
And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; Rev 18:22
And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee:
for thy merchants were the great men of the earth;
for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. Re.18:23
Hermogenes: Certainly.
Socrates: But this is the god who purifies and washes away (apaloouôn) and delivers (apoluôn) from such evils, is he not?
Hermogenes: Certainly.
Socrates: With reference, then, to his acts of delivering and his washings, as being the physician of such diseases, he might properly be called Apoluon (apalouôn, the washer), and with reference to soothsaying and truth and simplicity--for the two are identical--he might most properly be called by the name the Thessalians use; for all Thessalians call the god Aplun. And because he is always by his archery controller of darts (bolôn) he is ever darting (aei ballôn).
And with reference to music we have to understand that alpha often signifies "together," and here it denotes moving together in the heavens about the poles, as we call them, and harmony in song, which is called concord; for, as the ingenious musicians and astronomers tell us, all these things move together by a kind of harmony.
And this god directs the harmony, making them all move together, among both gods and men; and so, just as we call the homokeleuthon (him who accompanies), and homokoitin (bedfellow), by changing the homo to alpha, akolouthon and akoitin, so also we called him Apollo who was Homopolo, and the second lambda was inserted, because without it the name sounded of disaster (apolô, apolôla, etc.)."
This is not completed and I will add more to prove that what John called SORCERY is the approved PATTERNISM for the end time churches.
