In shamanistic cultures the individual would project out of his or her body and travel in a spiritual or astral world. If one is able through meditation (or other means) to remain watchfully awake in the state of deep dreamless sleep, then one experiences a vast magenta (id say more mauve) sea of cognitive bliss in which one hears the music of everything - every existent being in the universe sounding its pre3sence. In the realm of celestial music, the center is everywhere and the circumference nowhere, so there is no need to move. One simply joins in this Hallelujah Chorus to the nth power by listening and sounding ones ontic note. In this sense, music is not a representational art of mimesis, but an ontological performance.
