Songs of the Spirit Movement 

The Spirit Movement utilizes song as a pedagogical method of “imaginal education.” Music does not merely “tell” a story; by its very existence, it is designed to cause things to happen.  There are three primary functions of song as a tool for transformation:

  1. Resetting Habits of Thought: Movement songs provide a mechanism for “resetting” self-destructive mental patterns. By introducing new rhythms and tone qualities, the music breaks through the auditory blocks created by culture, allowing the individual to hear the “Word” anew.
  2. Capturing Imagination: This is the heart of “imaginal education.” These songs are devised to literally reshape the imagination of a community or individuals, replacing defeatist internal images with a clear vision of a decisional future.
  3. Causing Action: Song creates a “decisional atmosphere” that compels the individual toward their specific missional task.
