the Supreme Scientist

“A poet makes himself a visionary through a long, boundless, and systematized disorganization of all the senses. All forms of love, of suffering, of madness; he searches himself, he exhausts within himself all poisons, and preserves their quintessences. Unspeakable torment, where he will need the greatest faith, a superhuman strength, where he becomes all men the great invalid, the great criminal, the great accursed--and the Supreme Scientist! For he attains the unknown! Because he has cultivated his soul, already rich, more than anyone! He attains the unknown, and if, demented, he finally loses the understanding of his visions, he will at least have seen them! So what if he is destroyed in his ecstatic flight through things unheard of, unnameable: other horrible workers will come; they will begin at the horizons where the first one has fallen!” - rimbaud

within you without you

"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?
When you've seen beyond yourself-then you may find, peace of mind,
Is waiting there-
And the time will come when you see
we're all one, and life flows on within you and without you." - george harrison

IT

"«Now, man, that alto man last night had IT -he held it once he found it; I’ve never seen a guy who could hold so long.» I wanted to know what«IT» meant. «Ah well» - Dean laughed - »now you’re asking me impon-de-rables - ahem! Here’s a guy and everybody’s there, right? Up to him to put down what’s on everybody’s mind. He starts the first chorus, then lines up his ideas, people, yeah, yeah, but get it, and then he rises to his fate and has to blow equal to it. All of a sudden somewhere in the middle of the chorus he gets it - everybody looks up and knows; they listen; he picks it up and carries. Time stops. He’s filling empty space with the substance of our lives, confessions of his belly bottom strain, remembrance of ideas, rehashes o fold blowing. He has to blow across bridges and come back and do it with such infinite feeling soulexploratory for the tune of the moment that everybody knows it’s not the tune that counts but IT - »Dean could go no further; he was sweating telling about it." - Kerouac

figure it out for yourself

“From my earliest years I wanted to figure out what life was about. I wanted to find out why I was here so that my actions and my desires would have some meaning. I don’t understand why everyone isn’t mainly and centrally a philosopher, because if you aren’t trying to figure that out for yourself you’re borrowing, or begging, or passively taking on someone elses philosophy, and this may lead to situations that are unsatisfactory.” - timothy leary

mind flowers

"Mind flowers
Pretty mind flowers
Take a trip to the center of your mind
To your mind
Letting only your conscience be your guide
Finding out that life is where it's at

Sacrifice of your ego, sacrifice, sacrifice
Let it go, let it go, let it go...

Falling sounds explode across myriad conscience of tomorrow’s mind
You feel yourself rising slowly and yet falling down upon shattered dreams
Crystal sights are shattered and distorted by reality’s truth
Again you hear the crying of a thousand harpies as tomorrow is gone
You are cleansed…
You will never hear distortion again

I am falling into the quicksand of my troubled mind

Peace, tranquillity
Mind flowers" - ulitmate spinach

fight for your mind

"If you're gonna live
then live it up
and if you're gonna give
then give it up
if you're gonna walk the earth
then walk it proud
and if you're gonna say the word
you got to say it loud

you got to fight for your mind
you got to fight for your mind
while you got the time
you got to fight for your mind

if you're gonna build a house
make it a home
if you're gonna pull some weight
pull your own
if you're gonna help
reach out your hand
if you're getting up
then take a stand

you got to fight for your mind
you got to fight for your mind
while you got the time
you got to fight for your mind

if you're gonna step
step on in
if you're gonna finish
you got to begin
don't you fear
what you don't know
just let that be
your room to grow

you got to fight for your mind
you got to fight for your mind
while you got the time
you got to fight for your mind" - ben

change your mind

"When you get weak,
And you need to test your will
When life's complete,
But there's something
Missing still
Distracting you from this
Must be the one you love
Must be the one whose magic touch
Can change your mind
Don't let another day go by
Without the magic touch

Distracting you
(change your mind)
Supporting you
(change your mind)
Embracing you
(change your mind)
Convincing you
(change your mind)

When you're confused and
The world has got you down
When you feel used and
You just can't play the clown
Protecting you from this
Must be the one you love
Must be the one whose magic touch
Can change your mind
Don't let another day go by
Without the magic touch

Protecting you
(change your mind)
Restoring you
(change your mind)
Revealing you
(change your mind)
Soothing you
(change your mind)

You hear the sound,
You wait around
And get the word
You see the picture
Changing everything
You've heard
Destroying you with this
Must be the one you love
Must be the one
Whose magic touch
Can change your mind
Don't let another day go by
Without the magic touch

Destroying you
(change your mind)
Embracing you
(change your mind)
Protecting you
(change your mind)
Confining you
(change your mind)
Distracting you
(change your mind)
Supporting you
(change your mind)
Distorting you
(change your mind)
Controlling you
(change your mind)
Change your mind
(change your mind)
Change your mind, change your mind
(change your mind)
Change your mind
(change your mind)

The morning comes
And there's an odor in the room
The scent of love,
More than a million roses bloom
Embracing you with this
Must be the one you love
Must be the one
Whose magic touch
Can change your mind
Don't let another day go by
Without the magic touch

Embracing you
(change your mind)
Concealing you
(change your mind)
Protecting you
(change your mind)
Revealing you
(change your mind)
Change your mind, change your mind
(change your mind)
Change your mind
(change your mind)
Change your mind, change your mind
(change your mind)
Change your mind
(change your mind)
Change your mind, change your mind
Change your mind
Change your mind, change your mind
Change your mind
Change your mind, change your mind
Change your mind, change your mind" - neil

all your goodies are gone

"I know at one time or another, each and every last one of you has had some goodies of some kind. and just as soon as you got it all built up for yourself, so you thought... a perfect stranger came a long and just tore it all down. you see, I know this old saying is very true. cause believe you me, it could happen to you too. but there is one thing I want each and every last one of you to remember before you leave this ground this evening: you can only get as much love, or anything else, as you make for yourself." - george
