I Want You

By Mark E Smith and the Inspiral Carpets, 1994



(The whole fucking kitchen sink)

There are already all these rumours circulating around
I think you should remember whose side you are on
No one said it was gonna be easy
No one ever said
It was gonna be easy
The pain's to teach me the barrier's broken

The pain's to teach me the barrier's broken

And climbing aboard a white knuckle ride
Climbing aboard
On a white knuckle ride
I think you should remember whose side you are on
Churns my insides
And the wheels are in motion

There are already all these rumours circulating around
I want you
I think you should remember whose side you are on

My heart is set
Harder and harder
No chance of defeat
It's not in my nature
A course, receiver)
I've set a course and
I'm the great one, two, three wham bam
You're the receiver
I'm the retriever
I'm out to get you
(Barrier)

I want you
(And I want you back)
Right now
And forever

No one ever said
It was gonna be easy
A pain's to teach me
The barrier's broken
(Rough breakdowns)

(You say you lost two stone in weight
So why did you look like that?)

I want you
(I want you back)
Right now
And forever

(The Dutch East India Company
In the the you. S. A of A
Think they can fool with their sincere yous urea)

I want you
(I want you back)
Right now
And forever

I want you
(I want you back)
Right now
And forever

(You're)
The barrier's broken
(Harder and harder)
The barrier's broken
(Next year you'll be)
The barrier's broken
The barrier's broken
(I've set a course)
I want you

Old and Wise

By the Alan Parsons Project

Performed by former Zombies vocalist Colin Blunstone 

As far as my eyes can see
There are shadows approaching me
And to those I left behind
I wanted you to know
You've always shared my deepest thoughts
You follow where I go

And oh when I'm old and wise
Bitter words mean little to me
Autumn winds will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time
When they asked me if I knew you
I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine
And the sadness would be Lifted from my eyes
Oh when I'm old and wise

As far as my eyes can see
There are shadows surrounding me
And to those I leave behind
I want you all to know
You've always shared my darkest hours
I'll miss you when I go

And oh, when I'm old and wise
Heavy words that tossed and blew me
Like autumn winds will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time
When they ask you if you knew me
Remember that you were a friend of mine
As the final curtain falls before my eyes
Oh when I'm Old and wise

As far as my eyes can see

Enhancing Your Connections with Self and Others

By the Andromedans

Channelled through Natalie Glasson, 10 June 2016


It is with love, truth and blessings, we the Andromedans come forth to greet you. The love we share to you is not greater than any other love within the universe of the Creator; it is simply an expression of the Creator. We love you deeply and wish you to know within your mind and heart that we are present to support you in your present and coming stages of ascension.

A question you might wish to ask yourself when connecting with all different types of souls and beings of the Earthly reality and the inner planes reality could be, ‘Am I allowing myself to recognise the true source and essence within each being, connection and experience?’ This question invites you to realise that there are so many levels of connection and communication. When you connect with a soul/ person you may only allow yourself to connect on a superficial level because of inner fears of receiving the Creator or a feeling of being unworthy. You may find yourself distracted by the reactions of your mind, emotions and personality when creating and recognising connections with others or even the Creator. The question we have shared with you encourages you to contemplate what a true connection or a source to source experience is, why it is important and what stops you from recognising the true essence of the Creator in all souls, situations and experiences.

Giving yourself time to explore inwardly while holding a focus of recognising the source or essence of everything around you especially connections and in communication, will give you the opportunity to know yourself more fully. It is your divine right to experience a connection with all aspects of the Creator and to recognise yourself as a valuable aspect of the Creator. It is also your divine right to be in constant communication with the Creator; this can take place through the diverse aspects of the Creator such as flowers, Goddess Beings, Ascended Masters, family members, Star Beings, in truth anything that holds and resonates as the Creator’s vibration.  The more you seek a divine and sacred connection and communication with all aspects of the Creator the more you will realise what is hindering your natural existence as the Creator. It is often fear or feelings of being unworthy which disable you from fully connecting with the Creator in every experience and person. Alternatively, maybe there is simply a need to develop and practice recognising the essence and source of the Creator within all.

Allow yourself time in your reality to recognise how deeply you permit yourself to connect with another soul. Realise whether you connect on an emotional, mental, spiritual or soul level. Realise if you are willing to see only the negative or positive aspects of the soul or whether you wish to know their true essence; their Creator essence.

When you connect with the Creator essence within a soul, situation or experience you allow yourself to realise and connect with all levels of energy. In doing so you can let these go which allows you the space and freedom free from attachment or reaction to acknowledge the truth and essence of the Creator. The Creator’s truth and essence are within everything. You will know when you are connecting with another person or situation’s Creator essence because you will feel your inner Creator essence be magnified, shimmering and filling your entire being with blissful sensations and light. Recognising the Creator in another magnifies the Creator within you. Your communication with the Creator will enhance and develop to the point that you will experience a divine powerful message and confirmation of truth with each true essence connection you make. Whether the other person realises or not, or even if you are connecting with the energy of a situation the messages you receive from the Creator will be awe inspiring.

Imagine if you were in constant communication with Creator in your daily reality through a cat you see beside a house, a stranger that passes you on the street, a newly blossomed flower in your garden or a person or situation which you are currently finding challenging. Imagine if you were in the practice of looking, sensing, acknowledging the divine essence within, accepting the personality and all levels of the being or situation while letting them go to embrace the truth in an instant. You would understand the purpose, meaning and reason for every person present in your life and every situation. To you, it might feel like a fast track because the actions and reactions of the person, yourself or connected to a situation would just seem superficial and unimportant. An example of this is, you may experience a negative person entering into your reality. This person creates numerous unpleasant reactions within your mind, emotions and maybe even spirit. You might become engrossed in the reactions within you and the actions of the other, losing yourself and feeling confused. If you have the intention and focus of seeing, sensing and acknowledging the true essence and source within the person, then you may still experience your own inner reactions and their actions. However, you would be able to let go of these maybe instantly, connecting with the truth of the person. It will actually be your truth reaching out to connect with their truth or Creator essence. It only needs to be an intention. In that moment, any unpleasant energies would fall away, and you would understand the reason, purpose and message the person or divine essence before you wished to share.

You will also be able to recognise that the message is directly from your soul and the Creator to support your ascension. The person before you is present simply to reflect the truth within your being so that you can be the witness.  The message or understanding may not be to due to the unpleasantness of the person; that was simply to catch your attention. Although the message may not seem profound, it will be deeply moving and meaningful. It may offer guidance such as to love yourself, to release anger, to ground yourself and so forth. You may glimpse a deeper understanding of the Creator or receive a healing vibration. The universe and Creator are miraculous and will guide you accordingly if you open yourself to receive and connect, seeking truth in every moment of your reality.


There is so much to discover. Everything that you recognise concerning the Creator will be born from within your being. Everything you seek will always be within you. When you realise that everything you need and require whether at a mental, emotional, physical or spiritual level is within you this creates a powerful acceptance and acknowledgement of yourself. Then you are able to look outside of yourself realising that you are not seeking answer or validation, you are seeking reflections of yourself. This means that you never give your power away to others. In fact, you will experience the complete opposite as you will be constantly empowering yourself and others as well.

While you can be conscious of recognising the Creator essence within every person or situation as if you are looking beyond their current manifestation into the truth of their soul, you can also practice and affirm this process in your own time so it becomes a positive pattern in your reality.

Allow yourself to gain a deep meditative state, through breathing deeply and relaxing your body. Take the attention of your mind and third eye to the presence of your soul within your heart chakra.

Repeat out loud until you can sense and feel the meaning of the words as if they are present within you: ‘I permit myself to see, sense and acknowledge beyond the physical reality to recognise the truth essence of the Creator.’

Breathe deeply and experience the energy forming within you from your intention.

Repeat out loud until you can sense and feel the meaning of the words as if they are present within you: ‘I choose to connect with and embrace the truth essence of the Creator within every person and situation.’

Breathe deeply and think of people you know or if there is someone you wish to connect with on a deeper level or wish to resolve a problem with, think of them, even a situation. Imagine, sense or acknowledge yourself gazing through all they are into the truth within.

Repeat out loud until you can sense and feel the meaning of the words as if they are present within you: ‘I trust in the truth essence of the Creator within every person and situation as I recognise it to be a reflection of my truth.’

Breathe deeply and when you are ready bring your intention back to your soul, experience the growing energy in your soul.

Repeat out loud until you can sense and feel the meaning of the words as if they are present within you: ‘I acknowledge and gratefully receive the wisdom, guidance, healing and empowerment which flows forth to me from the truth essence of the Creator.’

Breathe deeply, sit peacefully and receive any insights which may align with you or be shared.

Repeat out loud until you can sense and feel the meaning of the words as if they are present within you: ‘I honour the truth within me and the guidance it shares through my being. I honour the reflection of my truth in others and situations, thank you.’

Breathe deeply and ground yourself, coming back into your reality when you are ready.

After practicing the meditation, when you then move through your daily life, you will discover that a connection with another’s Creator essence will simply occur and all you will need to do is be observant and aware of that which unfolds.

It is time to see the truth within and all around you.

With eternal love and always truth,

Andromedans

Gangsta's Paradise

By Coolio

'Gangsta's Paradise' is a song by American rapper Coolio, featuring singer L.V.  The song was released on Coolio's album of the same name, as well as the soundtrack for the 1995 film Dangerous Minds. It samples the chorus and instrumentation of Stevie Wonder's 1976 song 'Pastime Paradise.' (Wikipedia).

Official video


As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there's nothin' left
'Cause I've been blasting and laughing so long,
That even my mama thinks that my mind is gone
But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
Me be treated like a punk you know that's unheard of
You better watch how you're talking and where you're walking
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
I really hate to trip but I gotta loc
As they croak, I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool
I'm the kinda G the little homies wanna be like
On my knees in the night saying prayers in the streetlight

Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise

Look at the situation they got me facin'
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the streets
So I gotta be down with the hood team
Too much television watching got me chasing dreams
I'm an educated fool with money on my mind
Got my 10 in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I'm a loc'd out gangsta set trippin' banger
And my homies is down so don't arouse my anger, fool
Death ain't nothing but a heartbeat away,
I'm living life, do or die, what can I say
I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24
The way things are going I don't know

Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me

Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise

Power and the money, money and the power
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Everybody's running, but half of them ain't looking
What's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cookin'
They say I gotta learn, but nobody's here to teach me
If they can't understand it, how can they reach me
I guess they can't, I guess they won't
I guess they front, that's why I know my life is out of luck, fool

Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise

Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me
[Fade out]




The original song, 'Pastime Paradise' by Stevie Wonder, is from his 1976 album Songs in the Key of Life


Pastime Paradise




They've been spending most their lives Living in a pastime paradise
They've been spending most their lives
Living in a pastime paradise
They've been wasting most their lives
Glorifying days long gone behind
They've been wasting most their days
In remembrance of ignorance oldest praise
Tell me who of them will come to be
How many of them are you and me

Dissipation
Race Relations
Consolation
Segregation
Dispensation
Isolation
Exploitation
Mutilation
Mutations
Miscreation
Confirmation.......to the evils of the world

They've been spending most their lives
Living in a future paradise
They've been spending most their lives
Living in a future paradise
They've been looking in their minds
For the day that sorrow's gone from time
They keep telling of the day
When the Savior of love will come to stay
Tell me who of them will come to be
How many of them are you and me

Proclamation of Race Relations
Consolation
Integration
Verification of Revelations
Acclamation
World Salvation
Vibrations
Simulation
Confirmation.......to the peace of the world

They've been spending most their lives
Living in a pastime paradise
They've been spending most their lives
Living in a pastime paradise
They've been spending most their lives
Living in a future paradise
They've been spending most their lives
Living in a future paradise
We've been spending too much of our lives
Living in a pastime paradise

Let's start living our lives
Living for the future paradise
Praise to our lives
Living for the future paradise
Shame to anyone's lives
Living in a pastime paradise

What Is Is What Ain't Ain't


Osho talked to Swami Atmanand

 2 February 1977, afternoon, Chuang Tzu Auditorium.

From What Is Is What Ain't Ain't, Chapter 2, p.25 to 29.

“Always remember that even if you don't like a certain thing, it is not necessarily bad. Liking and disliking makes no difference. Sometimes the thing that you like may be harmful, and vice versa: the thing that you don't like at all may prove a great transformation. In fact that is more likely.

The thing that you don't like is more likely to help you, because liking comes out of the past, liking comes out of your mind. The mind likes that which fits with it, and anything that fits with the mind is never going to change you. Anything whatsoever that fits with the mind will strengthen the same mind, will make it even stronger.

So something that the mind feels repelled by has to be explored. There is a possibility that it may prove a radical change in your life. And right now you misunderstand because you are identified too much with the mind. You don't know what is really beneficial and what is not. Whatsoever you decide, you decide through the mind. You don't know yet how to look at things without the mind interfering.

Now for example, this: if you had listened to the mind, the mind was telling you, 'Leave! It is pointless, and why are you wasting your time? I don't like it!'

That mind tries to say that you don't like it, and you are so identified that you don't make the distinction that this is the mind saying, 'I don't like it.' But the mind's liking or disliking is not your liking or disliking. You are separate from the mind, different from the mind.

So sometimes try that which the mind does not like, and sometimes don't try that to which the mind feels attracted and likes. Go on playing with this game. By and by the mind and you become loose, and then you have a tremendously new perspective. Then sometimes it happens that you can see a thing without the mind coming in, because now you are loose, not so tightly attached to each other.


This loosening comes only when you sometimes go on trying the thing that the mind does not like, and sometimes not trying the thing that the mind likes.

Gurdjieff would always give just the opposite. To somebody who likes physical exercise very much, goes for a morning walk, evening walk, horse-riding, this and that, Gurdjieff would say to just sit silently and not to do anything. He would feel restless and would boil inside.

But this is the way the mind and you become loose. When you don't listen to the mind, a distance arises. So learn this one thing from this experience - don't decide in a hurry.

Sometimes you don't like a woman and she may prove the best companion. Sometimes you like the woman at the first sight - you 'fall in love' as it is said - and she may prove the worst enemy to you. That's how it is happening all over the world: people fall in love at first sight and then they suffer their whole life. Because this is decided by the mind...and the mind is blind!

The mind has no awareness. Awareness is a totally different thing, far away from mind, and awareness becomes available only when the mind is no more making its chattering, its noise, so you can hear the still, small voice, from somewhere beyond the mind.

Keep it as a key, and sometimes go on trying something against the mind. Enjoy it, and you will be benefited tremendously.”

Rajneesh Foundation, Poona, India, 1980

The Ultimate April Fools Prank

Whatsoever happens, I am going to remain happy


By Osho

"We are here to remind you that pain and fear are not the only methods of growth; that you can more elegantly grow through joy and love…that you create your own reality…that there is a God/Goddess/All That Is who loves you, who knows your name… and that you love good enough." — Lazaris (channelled through Jach Pursel).


It is part of your work upon yourself. In fact the day a person decides not to ask for things he likes but starts to like things which happen, that day a man becomes mature.

One can go on wanting what one likes. That will make you always miserable, because in the first place it is never going to happen. The world is not running according to your likes and dislikes. It has no guarantee that what you want, the whole is also wanting; there is no guarantee. There is every possibility that the whole is destined towards something else that you don't know anything about at all.

There is no possibility of its ever being fulfilled, so frustration and misery will be its outcome. And if by chance sometimes it happens that you fall in the rhythm with the whole, and by accident you like the same thing which was going to happen on its own, and it coincides ‑ which is very rare ‑ then too it is not your desire being fulfilled. No, it is simply because by some accident you liked the same thing which was already going to happen; whether you liked it or not was irrelevant.


When sometimes it does happen, then too you will not feel very happy, because whatsoever we demand, we have already lived through fantasy, so it is already secondhand. If you say that you would like a certain man to be your lover, then in many dreams and in many fantasies you have already loved that man. And if it happens, then the real man is going to fall short of your fantasy and he is going to be just a carbon copy because reality is never as fantastic as fantasy. Then you will be frustrated.

So a person who goes on asking for his own desires to be fulfilled is going to be frustrated. Either the desire is going to be fulfilled or not. Misery will be the outcome. If you start liking that which is happening, if you don't put your own will against the whole, if you simply say okay, whatsoever happens you simply say 'Yes', then you can never be miserable, because whatsoever happens, you are always in a positive attitude ready to receive it and enjoy it. If it goes just according to your nature, very good. If it sometimes goes against your nature, you take it as part of growth. If it is pleasure, good. If it is pain you accept it as a price to be paid for all the pleasures that are available in the world, the cost to be paid.

If it is pain, a positive, yes‑saying person accepts it as a growth pain and is happy about it because through it, growth will happen. If pleasure happens he accepts it as a gift of God. You cannot make him miserable. On one hand you cannot make a man happy if he is desiring too much and wanting this and that; it is impossible to make him happy.

 
On the other hand it is just the opposite. A person may accept whatsoever happens with deep gratitude ‑ whatsoever: good or bad, day or night, summer or winter, it makes no difference. He simply accepts, because whatsoever God sends must be good, has to be good. 'If I cannot see good in it then I have to grow into my awareness and see it. Nothing is wrong in it, something is wrong in me. So there is no need to be frustrated with it. The need is to grow more, to expand more, to understand more. Pain is happening because I am still not so alert and aware. If I am really aware then pain becomes impossible.'

Awareness brings you into the rhythm of existence. You become part of this organic unity. You don't move alone and separate. You don't function as an island, you don't isolate yourself. You are no more an ego and you don't try to go upstream. You float with the stream. In fact you become the stream. You have no will of your own; this is what surrender is. Try this time.

Just go ‑ that's exactly right ‑ creating no misery for yourself. And not only with this. With everything, from this moment, try the 'yes' attitude, the religious attitude. The grumbling, the complaining, always desiring something and then being frustrated and feeling negative and sad, not only creates misery, it creates a barrier between you and God ‑ because how can you love a God who goes on frustrating you? You propose and He disposes, and whatsoever you want He never fulfills. And He goes on doing things that you never asked for. How can you love a God who is never for you and always against you?


By and by a certain antagonism arises ‑ and that antagonism is the greatest barrier between you and life. So drop that. Float and let things happen, and soon you will see things are really happening as they should. In fact in the very desire that you wanted things otherwise, you were creating trouble for yourself.

Things are as they should be. They have always been that way. Existence is going so smoothly. Look at the stars and the trees and the birds and the rivers. Things are going so smoothly. There seems to be no problem. All problems exist in man and in the mind of man, and the problems are created, manufactured by man. First he desires something and in that very desire he is creating a conflict between himself and the whole. And how can you win against the whole?

That's what Jesus says: 'Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done.' That is the deepest prayer ever uttered: 'Let Thy will be done. I withdraw. I will no more come in the way. I give way. I will simply open.'

If you desire, you are never open because the very desire makes you narrow. There are millions of alternatives and you desire one thing. So except for that one thing, everything else is excluded; you are focused on one thing. You don't know that there are millions of alternatives, millions of possibilities. Why hanker for this one? Why emphasise this one? Why pay so much attention to one at the cost of the whole existence?

Draw My Life - Ryan Higa


The One to Sing the Blues

Awesome Motörhead song from album '1916' (1990)


Don't know what I did to make you feel that way,
I can't always say just what I want to say,
I'm out of place again, you're on my case again,
Bringing up the past & sling it in my face again,
Put me in the frame,
So even if I win I lose,
Going down slow ain't the only way to go,
Listen to me honey, gonna tell you something funny,
Miss me when I'm gone you'll be the one to sing the blues,
Seems to me the good times ended way to soon,
Seems like faded echoes in an empty room,
Strangers in the night, strangers in the light,
Seems like every word we say just makes us scratch and bite,
You thought we had the answers,
We were sure we couldn't lose,
What you want from me,
Is all the things that I can't be,
Listen to me baby, I'm beginning to go crazy,
Miss me when I'm gone you'll be the one to sing the blues,
More I think about it it's a goddamn shame,
Opposites attract 'til they become the same,
Daggers in our eyes, time to say goodbye,
Time to stop pretending, time to stop the endless lies,
I wish you luck, babe, I hope you find a dream and it comes true,
What my eyes can't see don't make no difference to me,
Listen to me faking, even though my heart is breaking,
Miss you now you're gone, now I'm the one to sing the blues.
