This is happening this here is life

This is happening this here is life
Days spent pondering truth is a knife
Respect due to those who have caught it
Dedicated to our friends who have sought it

This is happening this here is life
Days spent pondering truth is a knife
Respect due to those who have caught it
Dedicated to our friends who have sought it

Brainstorm superseding the norm
When we come together new planet is born
You revel in the chaos when people are torn
Then you come to find out your welcome is worn

We are advancing and retracting visionaries
Really here it’s not imaginary
The way you work your mind you find it’s an art
Where you feel it most you feel in your heart

Everybody gets confused
Delusions are everywhere
Buy into fakeness you’ll feel used
Double talk fills the air
Looking all over for happiness
I’ve got the will to live
It’s in front of you right now don’t you feel stressed
Falls through my hands like a sieve

I’m on a new high
With a pen and a pad
And for fun I attend
A jam that’s super bad
At the same time
Give it all that I have
Whether you’re square
Or the coolest lad
Eatin up my people
Purgin their words
The jammies take flight like Icarus birds
Drop on you and you get hurt
Cuz if you’re under the rock
You get worked

Say, what gives are you after me
Breakin me down won’t you let me be
Won’t be having none of your mind control
It ain’t gonna work on me no more
I said, what gives are you after me
Breakin me down won’t you let me be
Won’t be having none of your mind control
It ain’t gonna work on me no more

You get worked

If you don’t watch your back
People are scheming on you
Exploiting all the things you lack
They’ll do what they have to do
Your good will is something they’ll crack
How many times will they bust
Your originality they will hack
Don’t know just who you can trust

I’m on a new high
With a pen and a pad
And for fun I attend
A jam that’s super bad
At the same time
Give it all that I have
Whether you’re square
Or the coolest lad
Eatin up my people
Purgin their words
The jammies take flight like Icarus birds
Drop on you and you get hurt
Cuz if you’re under the rock

You get worked
Yeah you get worked
Say, what gives are you after me
Breakin me down won’t you let me be
Won’t be having none of your mind control
It ain’t gonna work on me no more
You get worked

@Colin Oh man 311.  
Haven't listened to these guys in years. Thanks for posting.

@Solace I like it, there is a lot there.

[Solace]

@Colin What stops you from surrendering completely to God?

[SgtPepper]

Pretty awesome song. 

Too many good psychedelic songs to name. 

But I'll leave one I really like:

 

"We were talking, about the space between us all
And the people, who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth, then it's far too late when they pass away

We were talking, about the love we all could share 
When we find it, to try our best to hold it there, with our love
With our love we could save the world, if they only knew

Try to realize it's all within yourself, no-one else can make you change
And to see you're really only very small
And life flows on within you and without you

We were talking, about the love that's gone so cold
And the people who gain the world and lose their soul
They don't know, they can't see, are you one of them?"

- George Harrison

[Colin]

@SgtPepper Good stuff, I love the beatles

Turn off your mind relax and float down stream
It is not dying, it is not dying

Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void,
It is shining, it is shining.

Yet you may see the meaning of within
It is being, it is being

Love is all and love is everyone
It is knowing, it is knowing

And ignorance and hate mourn the dead
It is believing, it is believing

But listen to the colour of your dreams
It is not leaving, it is not leaving

So play the game "Existence" to the end
Of the beginning, of the beginning

[Big Guru Balls]

Why doesn't anybody ever channel Buddha or Ramana or Gurdjeff ?
 From the looks of it Jesus is a busy cat with a crapload of these channeller's. He needs to unload some of this work off to Moses or Krishna or somebody.

[Solace]

@Colin I say because of your profile picture and quotes, and your understanding. It all strongly reminds me of the spiritual heart  

The question that helped me was, “How much more suffering until I have no other choice but to surrender within myself?”. No matter how scared or doubtful I am, can I stay centered in the rising and falling of my chest, and let it heal every fear I have about life?

The most challenging part of this surrender is the first few minutes. Then staying in that experience of the rising and falling of the chest becomes much easier in every way possible. 

You don’t need thoughts to live your life. They only limit what is possible, even positive ones, for they cannot come close to describing your true, beautiful and Godly nature. Thoughts don’t come close to the experience of true Unconditonal Love, and this mind of infinite intelligence that you are.

Anytime you are ready, Love meets you with open arms. Every step you take towards love it takes two steps towards you.

The kingdom of God is within your heart ❤️

 

@Big Guru Balls More people will listen to Jesus’ ideas, and take them to heart. For because most people have been told that Jesus was resurrected, the idea he is still alive in a higher realm then seems possible to their subconscious minds, and so his message can be received and embraced, and it’s truly a gift for him to be sharing this at this time. His deepest message is to enter the Heart, although he does share more “intermediate” teachings such as rosaries and invocations to the masses for most people aren’t ready to make the quantum leap to total surrender of their awareness to their hearts instead of their thoughts ?

@Solace oh you are preaching to the choir, but I am diving head first into the mad complex open world RPG that is planet earth
 

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
That call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they
Tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Sounds of laughter shades of earth are ringing
Through my open views inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a
million suns, it calls me on and on
Across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

[SgtPepper]

 Hehe. I love those songs . You can tell I am a big Beatles fan by my username.

 

Another great one from a radically different band:

"Well, I have a home 
Longing to roam
I have to find you
I have to meet you

Sanctum your face
Slowing your pace
I need your guidance 
I need to seek my

Innervision
Innervision

My pupils dance
Lost in a trance
Your sacred silence
Losing all violence

Stars in their place
Mirror your face
I need to find you
I need to seek my

Innervision
Innervision
Innervision

It's never too late to reinvent the bicycle
Small breaks for the new
Giving you life
Giving you force

There's only one true path in life
The road that leads to all leads to one
There's only one true path in life (innervision)
The road that leads to all (innervision)

Your sacred silence, losing all violence"

@Colin You can only experience the beauty, magnificence and wonder of physical reality by finding your true self  

I say no more! It seems like you are enjoying yourself, and this life. And I’m really happy for that.

@SgtPepper Ooo nice there definitely time to hop and stomp and rock out. Haven't heard that one.

Breathing in the dark
Lying on its side
The ruins of the day
Painted with a scar
And the more I straighten out
The less it wants to try
The feelings start to rot
One wink at a time

Oh
Forgiving who you are
For what you stand to gain
Just know that if you hide
It doesn't go away
When you get out of bed
Don't end up stranded
Horrified with each stone
On the stage
My little dark age

Picking through the cards
Knowing what's nearby
The carvings on the face
Say they find it hard
And the engine's failed again
All limits of disguise
The humor's not the same
Coming from denial

Oh
I grieve in stereo
The stereo sounds strange
I know that if you hide
It doesn't go away
If you get out of bed
And find me standing all alone
Open-eyed
Burn the page
My little dark age

I grieve in stereo
The stereo sounds strange
You know that if it hides
It doesn't go away
If I get out of bed
You'll see me standing all alone
Horrified
On the stage
My little dark age

Giddy with delight
Seeing what's to come
The image of the dead
Dead ends in my mind

Policemen swear to god
Love's seeping from the guns
I know my friends and I
Would probably turn and run
If you get out of bed
Come find us heading for the bridge
Bring a stone
All the rage
My little dark age

I grieve in stereo
The stereo sounds strange
I know that if you hide
It doesn't go away
If you get out of bed
And find me standing all alone
Open-eyed
Burn the page
My little dark age

All alone
Open-eyed
Burn the page
My little dark age

I love it! I haven’t listened to this kind of genre before. 

For me it tells me that wherever you go, your ego also comes. But the song had a warmth to it that made the darkness it spoke of seem very gentle and just wanting to give you a hug. 

[Colin]

You got a wishing well within
That's ready to begin
See how we roll, see how we roll

I'm trying to compromise
Because with me there are no lies
See how we run, it's already begun

Now that I'm back to a pushing pen
That weighs two hundred tons
I'd like to drop it on you
And watch it all fall through

Nobody knows just what
You're battling inside, you can hide
Nobody knows just why
Most everyone will lie if they need to

The ones who aggravate you most
And happen to be ever close
Seem to be the ones lurching
For the same things that you are searching

The ones that make you feel ill
And you think that nature should have killed
Those you curse when you're alone
Seem to be so close to home

Not an even field to be on
Feels like standing still for eons and eons
Stare it dead in the eye, what now?
All we can do is try to shut it down, shut it down

Not an even field to be on
Feels like standing still for eons and eons
Stare it dead in the eye, what now?
All we can do is try to shut it down, shut it down
