Presence Is The Key
02:45

Subtract a nervous disposition
Be still and confront the demon
Mon dieu give me strength
To rise above the wrench
I’d rather sit on a bench
And contemplate the vicious stench
Of an ego a million years old
I will no longer be sold
Like a black slave
Observe but no longer identify with the knave
Here it comes, thought, feelings, body
The truth is I am nobody
Simply life
Flowing as me with no strife
Delight in a light that glows even at night
As tight as a sight with no spite
Lift and elevate to a state of no state
Beyond notions of experience, I have no fate
Placate the wounds that dwell deep in the flesh
Liberate the energy trapped in the mesh
Spin the sin
Reclaim the sanskrit
You missed the mark
Reclaim your grit
Nothing is wrong
You simply went astray
Lay down and reclaim your way
Drop guilt
Full of ideas that society built
We are innocent
Even amidst the indecent
Disbelieve in the descent
Hell is simply the serpent
Disbelieve in the descent
Hell is simply the serpent
A thought that we believe
Knowledge up our sleeve
Let it go so we can truly know
The ego is not an enemy
Presence is the key
for humanity to be free
For you to be me
Presence is the key

My Story
03:24
|
|||
I was born on the 31st of January
Bliss of being was my sanctuary
Had Yet to become a member
Of a society yet to prosper
I Sheepishly gave my allegiance when i was a toddler
And so i entered the illusionary realm of the other
A divided self among others
Conflicted inside looking for brothers
The game was afoot
Chasing cerebral soot
Almost oblivious to a lost paradise
For which i didn’t yet know the price
Yet something never felt correct
Covered in the background like a tiny insect
And as i grew so did the discomfort
Pursuing ever expanding ghosts and more soot
Until i hit 30
And so did my unhappiness hit me
This is when i abandoned all and took up a quest for the answer
Little did i know that via this route the little insect was growing bigger
Overturning spiritual and quantum literature
Like there was no tomorrow
Losing friends and money for this new obsession which was on full burner
And then one day after meditating
I realised i'd been in a bubble striving and striving
It burst and so did my rapture
I danced ecstatically for i had been freed from minds capture
My conceptual prison collapsed and my eyes opened forever
But the journey had just begun and Clouds came back to hover
What i didn’t realise was that what was crumbling was my persona
To keep this freedom was a challenge like no other
Then One day i found that i was eternity
William Blake’s words came back to me
And i understood with all my being his sagacity
But still there was brewing in my personality
Finally i woke up one day in a mental hospital
And realised clearly i had to let go of all
And so this is my story as real as that can be
And it is also yours for i am you and you are me

Paradox

Paradox
Paradox
You are the earth the moon and the sun
The cosmic stars the body and none
Prior to the big bang an infinite eternity
You are these thoughts the feelings the uncertainty
You never were yet you were born
You are the rose the mud and the thorn
You have nothing to mourn
Yet you feel the pain as if you’d just been born
You are the little kid the adolescent the old man
Yet you are the presence in all these without a plan
You are un-manifest yet you soar in the manifest
You are not of time yet you stand the test
You are immaculate
Yet you are the body and sweat
You are stained like the windows in the church
Yet you are the sun that illuminates these
You find it trying a times yet you are completely at ease
There is utter peace in you presence and you are that
Yet at times you think of where you sat
You are the speech the noise and the scar
Yet nothing can trouble the silence that you are
You are everything and nothing
You are silent yet you sing and sing

Spirit
03:30
|

Swap concepts for spiritual biceps
There is only spirit
Time to enter into it
Feel the cosmic dance
Subtract mental stance
Belief is the enemy of freedom
Drop it to enter the kingdom
We are all kings and queens
In the heavenly fields
I was born of flesh
And will die of flesh
But that isn't what i am
I simply am
And thats enough
You're enough
And i am is simply what is
Feel it in the thymus gland
Your body is the world
You will never be old
(Repeat)

The Mind Said To Truth
02:54

The mind said to truth
I’m uncouth
Splatter
Shatter
Were will I get my next dollar
Vampire
Perspire
Oh please don’t leave me in a squalor
I want money
I want honey
I want funny
I want sunny
I want more food
I want a fix my attitude
I’m worthless
I’ll be penniless
I’m great
I’m a good person
Please don’t leave me in oblivion
I’m a scholar
I’m hotter
I’m colder
What’s for supper
I want my bread an butter
I’m scared
I’m shorthaired
I’ll never amount to nothing
I’ll never be able to sing
I’m madder than the mad hatter
I’m a preacher
I’m simpler than the other
I’m not famous
I’m infamous
I’m brilliant
I’m better than the other
I was never loved by my mother
I dislike my father
I’m a failure
I wanted to be a sailor
He’s an idiot
He’s a bigot
I should kill him
I hate him
They’ll banish me
I’ll die alone sitting under a tree
I’m scared to die
I want to die
I don’t want to die
What if I die
And truth answered

To Speak Out Of Silence
03:12
|
|||
To speak out of silence
To spark a remembrance
I am a wretch
Still i will attempt a sketch
I am born out of infinity
And will die to my divinity
If not now then one day certainly
The outcome is sealed
Let us bow our head to the quantum field
All is eternally well
Even if this is a hard sell
Some it will repel
But be sure that in this moment you are well
And since this is all there is
Forever, let it make it my biz
To share with you my intuition
Humanity is going in this direction of transformation
Where ego identification will be a past phenomenon
The future is bright
Even if it seems out of sight
We are headed for eternal bliss
We are made out of this
Rejoice, now is what we are
And it shines like the brightest star
