Hey You say its all the same Just atoms re-arranged A pattern that repeats across an endless time and space But I have seen the change You're someone new today You're more than just the sparks and flashes shooting through your brain Hey They say there's nothing wrong The world is humming along The money and the songs will keep you going just sing along And if you start to think That maybe this isn't your thing Well you could always pop some pills and try to fall asleep And if the pills don't work Well you could buy a car And drive away as far as you can get from where you are And if the car breaks down Well you can turn around And walk back to your hometown that's still sinking in the ground Hey The ice will keep on melting The people keep on fighting With nothing solved the problems all persists and stay the same Well maybe it's a game A momentary flame A chance to say hello and then to wave goodbye again Or maybe there's a reason A changing of the seasons A waking up A letting go A new world to believe in Well I can surely hope And I can surely pray And do my best to keep the dream alive from day to day Hey You say it's all the same And history is to blame But I say what has changed is that we can't go back again You can't repeat the past It's all just broken glass A mirror that has cracked and falls apart with each new day And if you feel afraid That things won't be the same Imagine what is ending is the hatred and the blame The violence and the shame A world that went insane And we will find a way to build a new one in its place

She walks down the pathway To the ocean with the bird song in her ears Once there was a city here Now there's only silence all around Ocean is a river is a drop of holy water in an endless mind Lifting up the vale to reveal what is living underneath our eyes Alone he sits in silence With the shadow stretching slowly across the floor Reading ancient scripture Under candle light that's slowly melting down Strangers at your doorstep Holding scripture from the lost Aegean sea Speaking in a language now forgotten that was once quite profound

Big Mystery 02:58
Oh Now my time has faded All my life is wasted What have I become? Oh Let me please erase it All the bad I've tasted All the wrong I've done Oh All my dreams awaken Future shadows beckon For the new day sun Oh Time begins to spiral Memory unravels Endlessly undone Oh great mystery Who are we Traveling this endless sea?

I'm still alive Still fine Still running from the same things in my life It's a shadow game It's a hard one to win and a hard one to play I'm still your friend, I'll always be It's not a question about you and me We're good, We're fine, We'll always be I'm not afraid I'm just really freaked out Too many questions and I can't let them go My mind is racing And I can't keep up with this pace Wow, American trash heap you're getting so high Hey, American trash heap you're going to touch the sky No such thing as a simple love That's just a dream that someone made up Hard to know what you really want When nothing turns out the way you thought I let those expectations go They bring me down like a dead weight Hanging on for dear life, Wonder if we will be alright Wonder if we will make it through the fire, and the rain storms, and the crashing lightning strikes Wow, American trash heap you're getting so high Hey, American trash heap you're going to touch the sky

Fade to black All we have Lost our way again Call my name again Light me up with another one Trying to be friends with everyone Step back look at that, I don't know Things are looking bad and its starting to show Jack and Jill running up the hill Lost in the sauce on a bunch of pills again Jack fell down and bumped his head Better off dead guess it's all gotta end some day Jill moved on and found a new man She stopped snorting pills on the weekends Jack was reborn as a baby mouse Living in the walls of an old farm house You gotta kiss him on the cheek like a best friend should, Better luck next year, better be good You know I'm catching myself looking back again, The past is dead like it's always been Fade to black All we have Lost our way again Call my name Again

All the old memories, All the old friends Lost in pages of Books long forgotten All the intentions and grand aspirations, Dust collecting on dreams never realized Where do we go when we fail to see the pathway? Laid out before us, no blazes in the forest Listen for the messenger Silence in the evening Wind in the branches Whispering the answers I am bound Prisoner to Earth, the sacred ground I have found Shadows of myself all around Let me go, Let me go, Let me go. . .

Down by the river side Following alone Soul is the deeper thing Strange as the night There's no time to play the game anymore Counting down the moments you have left Time goes and I am fine Still feeling young Don't be a fool friend It's up to us to bare the burden I was caught but now I'm free There's no lock without a key

Dark Moon 04:22
This dark moon rise I'll try anything I could be right or I could be wrong This lonely night I'll go anywhere I'm not afraid of the endless unknown This deeper sight Show me how to fly Through the darkness through the silence Hyper real The crystal lattice The shape of your mind Try to feel The drugs you take To fill the void And try to hide The things that you've seen The loss of a dream The weight of a broken world The edge of a high The crash that will come This dark moon rise I'll try anything I could be right or I could be wrong This lonely night I'll go anywhere I'm not afraid of the endless unknown This deeper sight Show me how to fly Through the darkness through the empty night Silent voice Inner doorway Unlock with a key Make the choice Help me see What I haven't seen yet The ancient legend The boundless sea The endless spiral The living symmetry A sense of meaning A reason to be We're more than we think we are There's more than we see

I Woke Up 05:41
I woke up Out of a daydream Out of the silence Into the light. I wonder, what's going on here? All of these questions filling my mind. The starlight It's so familiar I feel like I've been here long long ago I wonder, Will I be o.k? Will I fall under, get lost in the times? Oh Love, Won't you save me? I can be the lonely kind Who falls into shadow Never to see the light If I could You know that I would now Discover the secret that happiness holds But somehow it's hard to hold on to Hard to remember what brings it around So I try to smile and laugh more Do something good for the people around me And Maybe something will save me Keep me from falling into the dark... Oh Love, Won't you save me? I can be the lonely kind Who falls into shadow Never to see the light

about

"Like a transparent crystal": - This is the statement of an analogy. As the crystal becomes colored by the color of the object placed beside it, and then shines according to the form of the object, so the mind is colored by the color of the object presented to it and then appears in the form of the object.

This, then, is sampatti [thought-transformation] - the mind showing itself like a transparent crystal, in the form of the object it comes in contact with, be it the knower, the knowable, or the acts of knowledge.

-Yoga-bhasya
