DIRECTIONS TO LIFE

Whatever it is
There are so many ways it can be done
1) The puzzle is to recognize it is a puzzle.
2) The trick is to recognize the best solution.

When accepting guidance from above
When accepting guidance from the heart
The answer is instantly easy to see
As well as, when to start

You’ll know it’s now
You’ll know just how
Understanding,
The impact of your action
On the faction
Comprehending
The ramification
On the population

You’ll know you’ve won
When you know you’re one

Solution
Satisfaction
Deployment
Of enJOYment

bookmark_borderTake Me To Your Leader

“I am a stranger”
Stranger, I am
Stranger than you
An Alien?

“I come in peace”
A piece I am
More than a pwan
Are you?

“Take me to your leader and there will be a massive reward for you in eternity.”

This note in my pocket
Is to notify you
There is no intelligent life on Earth —
the third planet from the sun.

We’ll guarantee your eternity
While mine is in jeopardy

ABOUT THIS SONG

“I am a stranger. I come in peace. Take me to your leader and there will be a massive reward for you in eternity.”
— Note carried by John Glenn (the first man to orbit Earth. It was translated into several languages in case he splashed down in the remote South Pacific seas.

Now that we are hear,
We might as well take advantage of… this opportunity.

The opportunity to see… hear.

Now that we are here,
With hear… I can see. c c c c

corrugated,
perforated,
saturated,
human waste

corrugated,
perforated,
saturated,
with a bad after-taste

rinse it clean,
rinse it clear,
wring the fear,
from the beautiful scene.

corrugated,
perforated,
striated,
through the prism threw.

glistening dew,
upon you,
like a new born pup,
you’re looking up

Am I alert,
To all that is?
Am I aware,
Of what exists?

Subsonic,
Supersonic,
Frequencies,
Infrared,
X-ray,
Why the sky is blue,
All day?

Am I alert,
To all that is?
Am I aware,
Of what exists?

Subterranean,
Angels refrain,
Frequencies,
Of inadequacies,
Infrared,
X-ray,
What happens,
When I pray?

Ring, ring, ring,
“God is calling,
On line # 1.”

“Is it hard to put your finger on,
Everything under the sun?

Or, do you wish you were god?
I hear the jobs pretty hard.

At any rate,
I’ll try to appreciate,
The fate I create.

Ring, ring, ring,
“Calling god,
On line #1.”

Won’t miss you,
If I’m with you.
Sincerely,
Me

Ring, ring, ring,
“Calling god,
On line #1.”

Can’t miss you,
When I’m with you.
Love,
Your wayward son

[whistle]
Fido! Come here, my boy
Yo, Fido!

The animals are running the zoo
There’s nothing much
You can do
They’ve broken free
Of all restraint
Now, there ain’t…
A tame point-of-view

Mic check [echo]
Tell your Ma
Tell your Pa
The sheep say baa

Chorus

Mic check [echo]
Tell your brother
Tell your sister
The mounted monkey will twist her

Chorus

Mic check [echo]
Tell your teacher
Tell your preacher
A sounder of swine
Are taking away your liberty…
And mine

A litter of pigs litter the streets
With a pack of mule mentality

bookmark_borderWill

What will we will?
Will we will nothing?
Ahh… but, to will nothing
Is to will something still

Sing!
Say you will
Say you will
Then, will it

To your credit
Will it
Needn’t say it
Feel a bit
Then,
Will it

Be it to will
Will it to be
Purely for thrill
Will ecstasy

It will be
Believe
We create
Reality
Negate *Me*
Will it to be
*Me* leave

Universally
Will it to be
Dramatically
No tragedy
Life is ecstasy

I really had been puzzled as to why this was being called a poor translation, as it seemed clear enough to me, but looking at the objections again, I think the assessment of it as an error derives from being over-constrained with the use of the English word “will” — using it only in the sense of “I will do it” — rather in the sense which here applies, which indicates the presence of “will” in relation to desires and determination as in the statement “I will it to be so.” ~ Kalki 17:46, 16 December 2007 (UTC) [In a reply about: “Große Drache” bit from Also Sprach Zarathustra. “ich will” means “I want”, not “I will”]

“WiLL iT TO BE, so, iT WiLL BE, and, SO iT iS ” (13) ~ Susan Lynne Schwenger

I will it to be so – English
Ich will es so – German

B / C
Physical and emotional.

A song about my broken leg and the girl I met the night before… learning to walk again after a broken leg… learning to love again after a broken heart… kind or the same thing? Bringing on the joy, the pain fades away… I’m learning to walk again.
