All You Need Is Love - The Beatles

So... I ran into the song "All You Need Is Love" by The Beatles on line the other day. As I watched John Lennon chew on gum between verses (Nom, nom, nom) and the rest of the band played along. I couldn't help but notice that this song makes little to NO SENSE! How about "All You Need Is To Make Sense" by Lennon/McCartney/Flores? I've posted the lyrics below and highlighted the only line in the verse which makes some sense. The chorus makes some sense too, "All you need is love", but that's such an easy thing to believe when your name is Paul McCartney, half the worlds female population are throwing their nickers at you, and your royalty checks are rolling in with six zeros. (Wipes rotten tomatoes off face)






Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love.
There's nothing you can do that can't be done.(WTF?)
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung. (WTF?)
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game - It's easy.(WTF?)
There's nothing you can make that can't be made. (WTF?)
No one you can save that can't be saved. (WTF?)
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time - It's easy.(WTF!!?)
 
All you need is love, all you need is love, love is all you need.
 
There's nothing you can know that isn't known. 
Nothing you can see that isn't shown. (WTF?)
Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be. It's easy.
(WTF!!!? Hello Afghanistan.)
 
All you need is love, all you need is love, love is all you need.

Synchronicity & The Law of Attraction

" T he Secret teaches us that we create our lives, with every thought every minute of every day. Living The Secret offers tools and ideas to help you live The Secret and create the life of your dreams." - "As The Secret has swept the world and touched millions of lives, we have received so many stories of lives being transformed into joy." -The Secret W e shouldn't underestimate the power of synchronicity. "Synchronicity" is usually thought to be the opposite of "coincidence." Coincidental events seem to have no rhyme or reason. But, The Secret proposes that by consciously applying the Law of Attraction you can change every aspect of your life. Synchronizations seem to be perfectly orchestrated to arrive at exactly the time we need them, as if by divine order . Perhaps you can remember a few events or experiences that where too "trippy" to write off as mere coincidence. For example, instances where you were thinking of a certai...

Ishmael - Daniel Quinn

One of the best books I've ever read... T he book opens with a deceptively ordinary personals ad: "Teacher seeks pupil. Must have an earnest desire to save the world." Seeking a direction for his life, a young man answers the ad and is startled to find that the teacher is a lowland gorilla named Ishmael, a creature uniquely placed to vision anew the human story. Ishmael's paradigm of history is startlingly different from the one wired into our cultural consciousness. For Ishmael, our agricultural revolution was not a technological event but a moral one, a rebellion against an ethical structure inherent in the community of life since its foundation four billion years ago. Having escaped the restraints of this ethical structure, humankind made itself a global tyrant, wielding deadly force over all other species while lacking the wisdom to make its tyranny a beneficial one or even a sustainable one... That tyranny is now hurtling us toward a planetary disaster of...

Closed Open Minds

     To be open minded means that you entertain all arguments. ALL of them. That's when you realize that many people who told you that they're open minded are actually not, because they'll judge you for listening to an opposing political argument, or for lending an ear to someone from another religion. I think that it's a mistake to think that we can all like each other sometime in the future. That would require a considerable amount of hegemony, and that's the opposite of freedom, that's the opposite of open mindedness. Freedom isn't rainbows and unicorns, freedom is complex and can be dangerous, and scary. In the woods, an armadillo wanders off into the road, and someone else's freedom paved a road, and ran right over it while freely traveling from one city to another. Perhaps, the root of many of our social issues has to do with the inability to sit with discomfort. The way that tribesmen had to sleep, with bears, and lions, or giant ants, and snakes ...
