We all have to guess regarding this, but my guess goes goes with Mark's. I think every human have a unique predisposition for how we will react and act on things we bump into on our odyssey through this world. This is not "education", "talent" or "intelligence" - rather "drive". And I think this part of us is what makes us like or dislike certain kinds of music. You can see this manifesting in praxis if you look at people; those with a lot of "drive" (simply those who are doing a lot of things in whatever areas) tend to have strong likes and dislikes in music and people with less "drive" tend to dance or whistle along to whatever they might happen to hear. per On 24 jul 2007, at 21.44, Mark Sottilaro wrote: > I don't think I'm buying that theory, as it doesn't explain so many > people who shun forms of expression that they're unfamiliar with. > It also doesn't explain why I love Indian Classical music and > dislike Chinese classical music. > > > On Jul 24, 2007, at 4:56 AM, Michael Billow wrote: > >> My opinion: My opinion, it has nothing to do with past lives or >> anything so >> mysterious.
