lyrics

So when you see the people who you think are not in on the secret... if you really understand, you need to revise your opinion completely and say that the "squares" are the people who are REALLY far out... 'cause they don't even know where they started!

See, an enlightened Hindu or Buddhist looks at the ignorant people of this world and says "My respects, because here I see the divine essence having altogether forgotten what it is... and playing the most far-out game of being completely lost! Congratulations, how far out can you get?"

So if you understand that, you don't start a war... with people you might say are "square". Don't challenge them, don't bug them, don't frighten them. Not because they are immature and you mustn't scare babies, it's nothing to do with that. You mustn't frighten them because they are doing a very far-out act, they're walking on a tight-rope miles up and they gotta do that balancing act and if you shout they may lose their balance...

(The illumination of Celtic manuscripts)

So therefore the more you have the powerful, fascistic-type government whether is masquerades under the name "communism" or "capitalism" or whatever, it's all the same thing...

.. sensation as well as the intellectual understanding of polarity...

All war-mongers are "pacifists" and therefore they call their war department the "department of defence". (Balancing scales). They're always fighting for "peace"... or for "justice" or some "good cause".

When I'm using the word "harmony", I don't necessarily mean something "sweet", I mean a concordant relationship with what goes on inside your skin and what goes on outside your skin.

That is a mechanical analogy of anxiety... and to be "uptight" you see is to be anxious. And so colossal paranoia and anxiety spreads through the world today on all sides. Engendering vast secret services, espionage systems... espionages on espionages on espionages on espionages. A thing that might be done is really to do nothing.

By doing this we would considerably slow down our own demise. In other words, you say to the people who want power "take it, you bore yourself, you tie yourself up in knots trying to arrange everything. It was by anxiety to keep things under control that you started a riot!"

Can overcome the fear of death only by realising that it's completely inevitable. Non-existence is the necessary precondition for existence. So what are you afraid of in trying to get rid of "nothing" which is already gotten rid of?
