Evolution lyrics- So it would seem that these "shaman" have seen the end and it's inevitable outcome. So....to what end? it's always the same. Knowing this it seems that they finally realized that no matter what you do it can not be changed so "go with the flow" has been applied. The other problem encountered with transcendental knowledge and understanding is that it is more solid and absolute then it appears and once a person touches on this, they never want to come back to "linear" understanding because it can cause your own existence to seem kind of pointless when you have glimpsed the "bigger picture" and can see how very small your part is in this. This type of subjective information "sectioning" will confuse and frustrate those with absolute reasoning into perhaps considering another way of looking at things and was meant to allow others a chance to absorb higher concepts for future understanding by the sub-conscious when the mind has achieved some grasp of time and space as being connected and not separate things at all.

To sum up... Start to finish... in sections

The universe is complex and all consuming.
Humans can understand this but are having no luck spreading this knowledge.
Anyone can expand their understanding for a second with "medication" that allows a release of all "assumed" absolute knowledge.
Changes are coming. Shaman always say..Change is coming.
Change is good because we believe those who have touched the understanding and have seen the end. "it's always the same"
People will begin to find connections to each other and to nature and time and space as the end draws nearer.
And finally....All is well...all is as it should be... as it always has been....as it always will be. No amount of "knowing" anything can change anything in the transcendental universe. People should just be content if they are blessed with a sneak peek.


Oh, and I guess Gloria Estefan was right. Eventually..... The rhythm IS going to get you.!.

Wow Vince, that's a very interesting interpretation, it sounds pretty good to me.


In case anyone is tempted to try transcendence with drugs I'd like to be a warning - I ended up being locked up in psychiatric hospital once after a cannabis binge. Be careful if you're sure you want to try psychoactive substances. I can tell you that they are NOT necessary to achieve the best states, they are a junk shortcut.

Something else regarding the lyrics of the Boss Drum track - we misuse the word 'anarchy' a lot and it has come to be associated with chaos, rebellion or disorder, please don't assume that's what's meant. Anarchy is actually a co-operative, collective concept that self regulates, self organises and works in harmony.

I agree. I have tried all the "short cuts" in my day. The main problems I saw were that once you begin to see an understanding on a spiritual level you never want to stop. Day to day life becomes a stumbling block for your quest and the body is just in the way. You can't be ascended and hold down a job and even eating and drinking seem to hinder your progress.
At a certain point the universe simply kicks you to the curb for being artificial anyway and your "trip" is over. After this no amount of "cheating" will help you and you have to seek enlightenment the old fashioned way.
The universe seems to use anarchy to create order and chaos to manifest serenity. kind of reversed from what human logic dictates.
With people we start with things intact and complete and entropy breaks everything down into destruction and pieces "chaos"
With things of the spirit, they start with anarchy (separation)and evolve into wholeness.
Strange....

Chaos- pieces that we no longer see fitting together
Anarchy- Pieces that will fit together if we can understand how to do it. (if we can't put together the pieces that should fit we get frustrated)

Just a theory.

"Diamond consciousness and understanding

Concepts enable us to reach understanding. Understanding is nothing but the understanding of concepts. But ultimately, everything is concepts, and hence understanding is the true revelation of everything. The essential aspect that functions as understanding, which we sometimes called the "Diamond Consciousness", is a manifestation of the absolute reality. Out of Being arises the capacity for understanding, for the encounter between absolute reality and the conceptual reality of the mind."

"The "diamond consciousness," responsible for the diamond perspective, is like Aurobindo's "supermind" in its capacity to look through all facets. Cosmic consciousness looks without facets so it sees everything, all points of view integrated in one perspective. The diamond consciousness can see all points of view, including the integrated point of view of cosmic consciousness, and hold all these perspectives and as equally valid."

Excellent!

I recognized this card. It's from Thoth Tarot which is a very lovely deck. I collect Tarot cards, oracle cards, goddess cards, cat cards, Native American cards, Druidry cards, etc. I love artwork since I was graphic designer for a newspaper co. in South Florida for 17 years. I studied & used them. I also studied and used Rune and I-Ching (Tao). Tarot means "playing cards" and was once used by the Royals in Italy for role playing games. Tarot idea came from their triumphic parade after winning a war. They weren't originally used for foretelling futures by scary gypsies with long fingernails in Hollywood movies. (not to put down the gypsies).
