Since god does not exist any search for him her or it will prove futile. Nonetheless the search may of itself prove therapeutic. I seek to find the numinous in Western Church music as well as church architecture and art. The act of singing Vittorias Requiem of 1605 is its own reward. It is mesmerism, therapy . It fills the mind and body with good things. That there is no being to whom you are addressing your sung words really does not seem to matter.
