But what does it do when you play it backwards...
Music and musicians have always been on the cutting edge of spiritual awareness. All of us have been listening to their songs and lyrics for our whole lives, but it is funny how little what they say really 'gets through' to people most of the time. Starting today I am going to post the lyrics of some songs that were obviously penned by folks with some serious knowledge and insight. Note how this song doesn't conflict with anything I have posted and in fact supports it - and I bet Mr. Kravitz has never even heard of Florence Shinn, Mr. Tolle, or any of the other writers I have quoted on my blog. How could that be?
The words are staring you in the face folks, and he couldn't be much more literal. Wake up and rub your eyes if you've been sleepin'. :-)
"Believe" by- Lenny Kravitz
I am you and you are me
Why's that such a mystery ?
If you want it you got to believe
Who are we ?
We're who we are
Riding on this great big star
We've got to stand up if we're gonna be free yeah
If you want it you got to believe
Believe in yourself
'Cause it's all just a game
We just want to be loved
The Son of God is in your face
Offering us eternal grace
If you want it you've got to believe
'Cause being free is a state of mind
We'll one day leave this all behind
Just put your faith in God
And one day you'll see it
If you want it you got it
You just got to believe
Believe in yourself
'Cause it's all just a game
We just want to be loved
The future's in our present hands
Let's reach right in
Let's understand
If you want it you've got to believe yeah
If you want it you got it
You just got to believe
Believe in yourself yeah
'Cause it's all just a game
We just want to be loved

There may be hope after all
Maybe the 'common' American really isn't all that into violence after all. According to the Time poll which asks "Which country poses the greatest danger to world peace in 2003?", 74.7% of respodents have answered The United States when asked to choose between it, North Korea, and Iraq. Let's pray that Washington starts to clue in sometime soon. Thank you to Filchyboy for pointing me to this story.
