“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

Only God 07:40
“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”
