This book is for all parents, misicians and music lovers

This is a MUST reading for people who loves music, parents who have teenagers or at church - pastors, musicians, music leaders and elders. Some years ago, I heard that music will hypnotize people - and I start to looking for an answer - how? I like to know what part or what he meant in actual music...I wanted to hear actual examples of music. Now, you can. I Thank this book very much. Now I know rhythm you hear might hypnotize you - with or without you realizing it. Actually you can not avoid it. This is very scientific. Rhythm you hear will skip a frontal lobe which means your brain - decision making (right or wrong) function does not work during you hearing certain rhythm. Information you hear will go directory into your brain without filtering. I think this utilize as part of mind control technique. After I listen to a CD comes with this book - I understand what kind of rhythm is bad. Finally, I got answer from this book with actual music - rhythm. This book's great thing is audio CD comes with it. I recommend to my friend - especially pastors at church or church's music leaders or music teachers or youth. This is must reading/listening. Should have a study group using this book. Author DID NOT say "only classical music is good". Famous mega church's pastor in California, who is million seller book writer - who recently applying a membership of CFR is said Christian lyrics make a music Christian music - he is WRONG! very WRONG! Dangerous hypnotic rhythm make a music - bad music. Hypnotic rhythm is dangerous and we hear at Churches today. Be aware - very aware of what is going on today. Rock music and contemporary christian music is bad (only if rhythm is hypnotic - please don't misunderstand it). Many said it long awhile - now you have answer. You are able to answer if someone ask you why Rock music is bad. I love music and I have listen to all rock music - I grow up with it. Again, it comes with audio CD and some example clips with is. I strongly recommend to everybody especially Christians and parents who have teenagers. Or if you learning about mind control - read it. (I am sure that book's auther like to tell you more. In case I missed author's points - I am sorry)
