The Grace of Suffering

“By living a life, you will know suffering
And so suffering is the first form of grace
And with this sort of a breaking up that suffering produces
Comes a tacit awareness that the world is not physical in nature but psychophysical
The world itself, not you only, not man only, but the world
This stuff, this universe is a psychophysical process
Whose essential foundation is conscious”
A psychic vision of heaven and heaven knows
Bound by time, I am the spirit in flesh and blood
Exiled from nature to human thought
Where your dreams have such meaning that life distorts
Uproot the anchor in oceans so unfamiliar and so profound
Did you ever think you might be lost?
To never be seen, to never be found
What a thought!
Well I swear I’ve found the key to freedom
It’s sink not swim
They’re crying out for a saviour, he screams:
(“I am here to awaken you to this realisation”)
‘I'm here to show you that you’re trapped inside a dream
A human being is a God that’s fast asleep, fuck
It’s every insight oh so sacred and profound
The greatest mysteries wait to be found…
Beyond form, beyond defeat
Awake, twice born
Beyond everything you’ve known’
Watching and waiting for silence to wake me…
Up from the stardust
The Godhead, upon us

Lost in mortal dreams
I swore I could find the answer
A secret, a blueprint, a lost and forgotten way
Seek that you will find a way to free your mind from the world we designed
It’s like my soul is plagued ‘cause with every day
I’m just searching for a way to set it free or kill time
At the end of the road, you will see
The time we spent was nothing more than a reverie
You’ll be home soon, so chase the light
We all get lost in the sounds and sights
So lost in the psychic wilderness
Seems the lies and illusions fucking persist
Will I be lifted from these cycles that plague me?
Thus we seek our deliverance from the lifelike dreams of the abyss
When will we taste the great secrets of life?
Just in time
My hands just searching for a firm hold amongst the dirt as they try and drag me away
It seems the demons of my mind
They will not quit, they will not die
I'll just have to find a better way
To keep their malicious claws at bay
Seek that you will find a way to free your mind from the world we designed
So let that breaking heart break all the way
‘Cause the pain it only builds every step that you take
At the end of the road, you will see
The life you led was nothing more than a lifelike dream
You’ll be home soon, so chase the light
We all get lost in the dance of life
Could it make any difference to a man reborn from the abyss?
Behold the champion of life and death
So rest in silent reverence for the great happening in our midst
The beauty gives me strength beyond what I can comprehend
My hands just searching for a firm hold amongst the dirt as they try and drag me away
From the universe, the entities, the mysteries
That most in this world would never dare to see
I’m torn between the realms within and the lives I lead
So fly with me into eternity
It’s beauty beyond all your wildest dreams
Dare I shed all my skin?
Oh, to cross the abyss
I can hardly await to see what lies on the other side
Maybe it holds the key I've searched for all my life
It’s over, the heart cave erupts in a psychic-supernova
As we rise to the heights of Enochian Aethyrs, the Angels sing:
‘Maybe I could save your life
But you’re running out of time
Spread your wings and fly like fire
Soar to godlike heights
Through this death you will find life
But you’re running out of time
Fly like lightning in the sky
This eternal moment is not to be taken for granted’
“We’re so used to our conventional objectification of things that,
We forget that we don’t live within a defined world
The world is a realm, such as the one into which you enter in dreams
Where is that place in dreams? What is its size?”
Seek that you will find a way to free your mind from the world you designed
God designed a game where he could lose Himself in fate
There’s such beauty in being lost in life
At the end of the road, you will see
The life you led was nothing more than a lifelike dream
You’ll be home soon, so chase the light
We all get lost in the dance of life
Oh, so poisonous the kiss
Drowning in bliss
The dreamscape lands of love will infect our minds
Standing above the earth, guiding us through each turn
They watch us from the heights of superior worlds
I am but a vessel to bring forth fire from the heavens
Reborn, this is my purpose
So now, I step forth into the dream embracing the shadows
I realise what it means to live and let die
I swear to scream the truth and spread the light until
There’s nothing above my shoulders left but the sky
Step forth into the dream embracing the shadows
The angels and the demons born from one light
I swear to scream the truth and hold fast in this fight
'Til there’s nothing above my shoulders left but the light
“Suffering moves you into the psychic position
In which you acknowledge your own psychophysical nature, not just physical nature
And also begin to have a sense of the psychophysical nature of the manifest worlds
And all kinds of experiences may begin to occur in a person
All of which tend to make him more in awe, feel more mystery
In which the world becomes like dreams, and in fact it is
The more psychic you become, the more conscious you become
The more obvious it becomes that the world is also of that nature
At that point a whole new kind of life can begin with all kinds of episodes and adventures
But contained within the seed of that change is the possibility for God-Realisation”

I have a message
For every pair of eyes into which I've gazed
Let this be a revelation amongst the lies of the world
I have a message
For every pair of eyes in through which I've gazed
Revel in this exaltation and we will transcend this realm
I'm calling the new age
You must trust the doubt inside
It's time to see where it leads
For too long, you have been trapped in a false realm
Lost in the mortal dream
And everything will die or change
But console you, I can not
Man, it ain't what it seems
No, we are not merely victims of one time-space-mortality
So, fly with me into eternity
Step into the light and fall to your knees
It’s beauty beyond your wildest dreams
To be a sacrifice for divinity
Let's take it back, in youth we see
The anxious mind grips throat
(Lost in suicidal dreams)
We can't pretend like it's not a daily thing
Life's just too many variables for the mind to conceive
“And with this sort of a breaking up that suffering produces
Comes a tacit awareness that the world is not physical in nature but psychophysical”
Never ending
Same old stories
Set me free from all I've seen, heard, been or known
It's not too late to fucking purge myself, fuck
‘Cause oh, God it is, it’s just the same mistake and I'll make again
I’ve made it again, I’ve fallen within
Can’t seem to quit, fuck
I have to release the blue into the black
I’m never coming back
We're all just searching for the next way to feel complete again
And finally I have tasted rest
Soaring higher 'til I burn up in the midnight sun
(All my life I've been searching for something)
But we all avoid final goodbyes and hate leaving others
(Lost in time we're just searching for one thing)
The realm of earth I witness, fathom and travel
But in the search for myself I begin to unravel
It’s like it’s… all my life, only chasing what seems nothing
And they all claim there’s a God, but I can’t pretend
I have to know before my life comes to an end
(Only searching for substance)
We're all just searching for the next way to feel complete again
(All my life I've been searching for something)
So shut your eyes, willing to die and be
(All my life I’ve been searching for something)
"The truth of our existence is in self-transcendence
Communion, with the all-pervading radiance
To acknowledge the divine in such a way that we release the fear of death
Then the body, the whole body-being is sacrificed into the divine
And you will pass into another plane of reality
It is the ecstasy of the presentation of ones existence to infinity"
So, fly with me into eternity
Step into the light and fall to your knees
It’s beauty beyond your wildest dreams
To be a sacrifice in divinity
I have a message
For every soul that’s lost inside this maze
No escape, there is no exit
Fall into the sky and transcend this world

“There is one essential and eternal moment
And in that moment you are tested by the law
The demand of God to surrender yourself, to transcend your experience
But it is a great trial and how you approach will determine your destiny”
We are the seekers of knowledge and gnosis, the great crusade
At the edge of the world we have chosen the leap of faith
We fight to liberate those who are walking the winding road
In the end it leads us home whence we face the great unknown
We have, we have been searching
Searching for the higher states of divinity and euphoria
(We have been searching for higher states of divine light)
But let’s get something straight
I must reveal your fate
This journey only ends with your sacrifice or total surrender
Total surrender of the fucking world
Total surrender, sacrifice your ‘self’
“At the edge of infinity the light of God is beginning to appear
But there is no way into the light except through the fire”
Cast off the threats that cry for attention, in time you’ll see
Dreams die but never the mind of the dreamer, he lies beneath
The veil falls away like the skin of a snake
Burning up, I dive into the lake of fire
No longer can I avoid my destiny (set me free)
The archangels read my eulogy
‘Burned alive in the ecstasy’
“Your limitations are being burned up”
Such terrifying ecstasy, my legacy
“Until the last cell goes up in flames”
Reverse the spell, running into the fire
Only a madman or a fool would concede
Yet they’re known as the wisest among us
Those that were willing to give up everything
Raised up in the rapture
Now I will finally let go and merge with you
“The light is given to you in the face of your surrender
In any case it is the obliteration of the conventional self”
I pray
Oh holy guardian would you hear my name?
Reveal your secrets to me
We are the seekers of knowledge and gnosis, the great crusade
At the edge of the world we have chosen the leap of faith
We fight to liberate those who are walking the winding road
In the end it leads us home to the heart of the great unknown
“There is no light, no enlightenment, without fire
Purification, self-transcendence, that’s the law
Inevitably, the fire must have its way”

Deceive, desert, expend
You are a phantom disguised as a friend
Guarding the gate through which I’ll shed
The weight that’s hanging behind my ribs, fuck
Born as a brother to me
Given eyes but with which you couldn’t see…
Beyond beginning or end
And now I know you’ve hit a dead end
But you won’t find me there
Waiting for you my friend, I left
And I know you still blame me
It never ends
No you won’t find me there
I watched you pave the path to hell
At the gates I am waiting
I left the knife in my back to make sure I never forget
All the second chances you had
I left the knife in my back to make sure I never forget that if I exist
Then the pain of loss can never end
I lost a brother, a wounded beast I…
I sought a lover, to drown in the depths of her dreams (drowned in the depths)
There I reminisce on the years I spent
Lost in visions of us leaving everything we’ve ever known
Just existing together somewhere beautiful
But you won’t find me there
Waiting for you my friend, I’m dead
All that’s left is bereavement and words unsaid
No you won’t find me there
I know you'll search until the end
Guided by the pain we chase the light beyond this hell
I left the knife in my back to make sure I never forget (I will never forget)
All the second chances I had
I left the knife in my back to make sure I never forget that if I exist
Then I carry the fate of the screaming abyss
Can you see it now or are you still blind?
We are blessed with a curse, it’s just a matter of time
Can you see it now or are you still blind?
We are the lives we mourn
We were all born to die (we live, we dream, we die)
“And in the paradox of God-Realisation
One can be reborn without limitation to mortality”
So goes the story
Taking birth as a human being
Nothings as it seems
We’re born asleep on this earth to awaken from the mortal dream (mortal dream)
I’ve seen the gods we used to be
I swear I’ll find my way back (even if it kills me)
I can see it now
We suffer to find a blessing in disguise
It’s overwhelming now
To give up your life (unto the substratum)
A blessing in the skies
Holy Goddess, oh Maya
Bathe me in suffering
‘Til I’m cleansed of all resistance
To the worlds that I precede
I submit to the fire
This is my offering
To the source of existence
It’s through our eyes He sees
Now I see
And God I just can’t believe it, oh
“God is that reality from which the body is arising in this moment
If you could see it! It is one reality”
I just need to feel it
Come forth now
Fly with me
The timeless source
Reality
Run, come now
Fly as one
In conscious light
The substratum
From the black heart of ashes, we watch the phoenix rise
Suspended in the flames, resurrected in the light
The All in One, the One in All
Then you have nothing to do but fall
The One in All, the All in One
Fall to rise inside the mind of God
Restless hope
The longing soul
You’ll find me in the substratum
Beneath your thoughts
Beneath your dreams
The One and All
The space between
Life force, flowing through me, such energy
Eternal light shine forth and scream
We’re born asleep on this earth to awaken from the mortal dream

“Life for most people is a kind of venture, heroic or modest
At the end of which they are the hero, the winner, the victor
And this is an illusion
Life is not about winning
It’s about truth, freedom in God
In any case, you must yield your victory
Then you have nothing to do but fall
And there is something to be known in that
It’s only in the case of perfect intuitive absorption that the divine is known
It is done from the heart, the great psychic region of your being
But you must yield, surrender, the specific forms of your existence
God is not what you think God to be, God is
God is that from which everything arises
And there comes a maturity in consciousness
In which you see this reality from which everything is arising
At last your eyes will open fully when you are sacrificed perfectly
Perfectly undone, in this devotion
In which case there is only God
Regardless of what arises, only God
Then you will be absorbed in the divine always regardless of the circumstances
Waking, dreaming or sleeping
Alive in the gross plane, or passed into some other appearance
It’s in that case that you truly realise the psychophysical nature of the world”
At the end of the road, you will see there is only God and His dreams
Beyond this form and defeat, I swear that I found the key
So fly with me and ascend, sacrifice all in this death
Into the light we transcend, we’ll carry on ‘til the end
The One in All, the supreme
Beneath your thoughts and your dreams
The All in One, undying
Eternal light shall scream
Psychic visions of heaven in hell
I’m bound by time as spirit
In flesh and blood, I fight ‘til the end
The champion of life and death
The veil falls away like the skin of a snake, fuck
I have nothing left to do but fall and let go of it all
Everything I’ve seen, heard, been or known
Now I must release the blue into the black
From the midnight sun, I’m not coming back
Standing above the earth, guiding us through each turn
They watch us from the heights of superior worlds
I am but a vessel to bring forth fire from the heavens
At the end of the road, where you’ll see
There is only God and His dreams
Beyond this form and defeat
I swear that I found the key
So fly with me and ascend
Soaring beyond life and death
Step into the light and transcend
It leads us home in the end
This is consciousness
“Then you will see that this is consciousness
It has the same quality exactly as when you look within to think, this is mind
And you will be drawn into greater and greater sensitivity
To that from which all of this experiencing arises”
A deathless spirit haunts this world
Oh silent witness, hear my words
“There are endless possibilities for other kinds of worlds and for experiencing in this world
None of which is of any consequence to one who is free in God”
