Oneness
Oneness: Our most important concept…
Before we get into this important pillar, let’s talk a bit about the power of images…
The power of images…
Some websites are heavily laden with text. Pages and pages of text. Ours isn’t.
We make ample use of images to CONVEY IDEAS in a way that’s interesting, engaging, and effective.
When selecting images, usually the two of us (Carolyn and I) sit together in front of a monitor and scroll through pages until one image jumps out at us. Some pictures are found in seconds but those for abstract concepts can take over an hour to find.
Sometimes after minutes searching in silence, we’ll both say “Stop” simultaneously when the right image appears. Sometimes the image’s appeal is immediate, other times it reveals itself in layers, unfolding like a flower.
Why do we use so many images and take such time to select them?
Images convey ENERGY as well as information.
They can convey a mood, a feeling, an emotion. They CONNECT on a level that mere words do not. We take the time because we want to get our message across clearly. We want to get it right. We care a lot about getting it right.
So, consider the image above. What do you see?
Bubbles. Lots of bubbles.
What are bubbles?
How are they created?
Such bubbles are typically created when air is breathed into soap film stretched across a wand.
Air at higher pressure than the surrounding atmosphere stretches the film until it breaks away from the wand and closes upon itself and forms a bubble.
What is the nature of a bubble?
- Each bubble is similar, though no two are identical.
- Each contains essentially the same stuff (air) but in different amounts and composition.
- Each seeks and has potential to be a perfect sphere but rarely maintains it.
- Each is beautiful, delicate, fragile, and impermanent.
Is a bubble less beautiful if not a
perfect sphere?
- No, perhaps it is even more beautiful and interesting in its evolving, ever-changing form.
Each is perfect in its imperfection…
Each bubble was created by a CONSCIOUSNESS that CARED enough to BREATHE it into existence.
Before, it was part of a vast atmosphere, then for a moment it is a bubble, then “poof”, it is gone.
Where did it go?
Nowhere…
The contents remain, only the container disintegrated. The ESSENCE still exists, just not as a bubble.
Its contents have rejoined the atmosphere along with contents of all the other bubbles that existed but eventually popped.
The “AIR” from popped bubbles blends and mixes with the greater atmosphere until a portion is inhaled into creative lungs and blown through a wand to create a bubble again, this time with new and different composition.
Why are we spending so much time talking about bubbles?
Have you figured it out yet? Do you see the parallels?
WE are like those bubbles.
YOU are like those bubbles.
- Each of us containing essentially the same “stuff” but slightly different.
Different sizes; different shapes; at different stages in our fleeting bubble lives. - Each beautiful, each perfectly imperfect.
- Each striving to attain spherical shape, achieving it momentarily but mostly not.
- Each lovingly created by intelligent consciousness.
- Each UNIQUE; each precious; each impermanent, existing as a bubble until its film disintegrates and releases its contents back to the GREATER WHOLE to share and be shared before becoming a bubble again, this time in a DIFFERENT composition, shape, and moment in time.
Bubbles… living lives as bubbles then in between, returned to the greater atmosphere
to play, and share with all the other bubble contents.
A beautiful endless cycle of tangible and intangible existence...
We are all connected...
The visceral understanding that we are all CONNECTED to each other and EVERYTHING else in our world is THE most important concept we teach.
The LIE that we are SEPARATE has been used to divide, control, exploit and trick us into turning our energies destructively against each other rather than applying them CONSTRUCTIVELY for benefit of ALL. We have been played for suckers for too long, but no more…
Message of the great spiritual teachers...
Consider the core message of all the spiritual teachers that have lived over the centuries…
…Love your brother and sister as yourself.
And what did all these teachers DO? How did they LIVE their lives?
Q: Didn’t they radiate the same LOVE as a PARENT has for their child?
Q: Didn’t they even refer to us AS their children? Not because they saw us as less, but because they CARED and FELT as CONNECTED to us, as a parent does to their child.
Q: Didn’t they spend their entire lives DEMONSTRATING these concepts while saying such things as…
“This too and more you can do also”?
Q: Did we RECEIVE that simple message… as often as it was repeated and in as many ways as it was demonstrated?
…Or did we just fixate on the superficial rituals, meticulously going through the motions without…
…truly UNDERSTANDING the concept?
Q: Did we miss the key point entirely? Did we focus on the “What”, instead of on the “Why?”
- Focusing on the “What” will get you endless rules…
- Focusing on the “Why” will get you endless RESULTS.
And the ANSWER to the big Why of it all is that…
…WE ARE ALL CONNECTED…
…WE ARE ALL ONE.
Everything is
Connected through the Field…
You cannot affect ONE thing without an effect rippling through to EVERYTHING else.
Everything is connected by an ENERGY FIELD that allows INSTANTANEOUS EXCHANGE of information.
- The Field connects ALL things.
- What Einstein called “spooky action at a distance” and what scientists call entanglement shows that objects that previously shared an interaction are LINKED.
- What affects one, instantaneously affects the other regardless of the distance between them.
- This phenomenon has been employed in certain fields of science (like cryptography) but the implications to human interaction have been largely OVERLOOKED.
- Separation is an illusion. Simply put there is no isolation or separateness.
- You are connected to the Universe and it to you. YOU are IT and IT is YOU. It’s all the YOU-niverse.
- When one is affected, ALL are affected.
- What you do to another, positive or negative, affects you.
- There is no “US” and “THEM” – there is only US..
Since we are all connected...
...it's time we start treating each other accordingly.
When you affect another,
you likewise affect yourself…
- When you harm another, you harm yourself.
- When you help another, you help yourself.
- You cannot harm another without escaping the consequences.
- Everyone, every living thing, is connected to the All-that Is, that is experiencing itself through an infinite number of perspectives.
- As you look into the eyes of another, you are looking back at yourself.
- As you see another, you are seeing yourself.
- As another sees you, they are seeing themselves.
Uplifting One, Uplifts All…
A rising tide lifts all boats...
We have been conditioned to be concerned only with ourselves and our wellbeing as if the condition of another is irrelevant to us…
…that THEIR state does not affect OUR state.
Consider your best friend. Do you care about their wellbeing?
Consider your favourite aunt, uncle or caring grandparents. Do you care about their wellbeing?
Consider your lover and/or spouse. Do you care about their wellbeing?
Now consider your young child.
The child that hugs you, loves you, looks to you to protect them, looks to you to comfort and soothe and help heal them when they scrape their knee.
Do you care about THEIR wellbeing?
Why do you care so much
about your kids?
They…
- eat your food,
- demand your attention,
- consume your money, your time,
- interrupt you living your life,
- limit you having fun with your friends,
- interfere with you building your career, and amassing your wealth.
They…
- wake you up at night with their crying,
- vomit on your carpet,
- require you to drive them to the emergency department of your local hospital in the middle of the night.
Why endure all that hassle?
Is it just what you GET in return?
- A sense of feeling needed, of being important to another human being, of being loved?
- Do they enhance your status since now you can tick off the box that says “Have kids” from your list of life goals and satisfy your parents and society that you’ve done what’s expected?
- Do children help you complete some aspect of yourself? Perhaps win bragging rights… “My son is a doctor and saves dozens of lives each year.” “My daughter is a CEO and makes millions of dollars each year.”
- Did you have kids because you want to leave a legacy, to see your family name continued into future generations? To not be forgotten? To have your life mean something?
Is having kids just about satisfying your EGO?
Or… is there more to it?
Do you INSTINCTIVELY protect your child, stand up for your child, care for your child, sacrifice other things to do what benefits your child?
How much would you share?
Would you share, as you are able…
- …your money,
- …your time,
- …your energy…
- …your time,
- …EVERYTHING you have, right down to the very organs of your body with your child if they needed them to save their life? A kidney, a piece of your liver, would you share all that and more?
Would you risk or give your LIFE for your child?
WHERE would you draw the line?
How much is too much? Where would you stop?
At what point would you say…
“No way! Oh No, not that!
That’s going too far, that’s asking too much!”
Some would GIVE IT ALL...
They would sacrifice ALL that they have if necessary, all that they could give, right down to their very LIFE, their ability to draw breath…all that and more they would share with and give to their child.
Why?
Is it because you feel some deep-rooted CONNECTION, some unbreakable BOND, some sense that your child is a very part of you, that YOU cannot fully thrive and feel whole if your child has need that you can help satisfy?
Is it your feeling that…
- your child’s hurt is YOUR hurt…
- your child’s joy is also YOUR joy…
- your child’s suffering is also YOUR suffering…
- your child’s upliftment also uplifts YOU?
Do you feel that you have a sacred duty, a responsibility, to do what you REASONABLY can to protect, uplift, nurture and share whatever you have with your child for YOUR MUTUAL BENEFIT.
Why do you feel this way?
Why do you feel this way, so strongly, so resolutely, so passionately that if you saw your child drowning NOTHING could stop you from jumping into the water to save them?
Why do you feel this CONNECTION, responsibility, passion, this love for FAMILY?
Why not for ALL others?
Why don't we all feel this same connection for...
- The struggling stranger…
- The crying person on the park bench…
- The person huddled in a doorway looking upwards with need and desperation…
- The starving child, or dying adult in a far-off country, whose images are NOT shown on the evening news so it is not in our personal experience?
Why do we not feel for them, care for them, advocate for them as we do for our loved ones?
- Is it simply too much to ask of ourselves?
- Too overwhelming?
- Too massive and depressing a reality?
- Too easy to turn away, break eye contact, turn the page?
- Too easy to rationalize “Let someone ELSE take care of that…”
- Too easy to think “Not MY job…”
- Too easy to move on to something lighter… distracting and trivial that doesn’t ask ANYTHING of us…
…perhaps something vapid like celebrity gossip, sports scores, or the latest idiotic TV program?
WHAT IF... we ALL felt connected…
- What if we DID feel more connection with these people and their situation?
- What if we HAD greater empathy and compassion?
- What if it FELT more personal?
- What if in looking at them we SAW our friend, our relative, our parent?
- What if in THEIR eyes we saw our child’s eyes, looking for OUR help…
…or wondering WHY we aren’t stepping in to help as they would in their childlike innocence and caring? - What if when LOOKING at another we saw OURSELVES and how quickly an unfortunate turn of events could land us in THEIR plight …with us looking up into the eyes of a stranger, or a stranger’s child, hoping for understanding, compassion, kindness, and help?
- What if the IDEA of helping felt more compelling and less overwhelming?
- What if THESE FEELINGS were shared by more of us?
- What if we began feeling we could NO LONGER walk past pretending we didn’t see or understand or have ability to help?
- What if helping became as NATURAL and INSTINCTIVE as preventing a stranger’s child from running into traffic?
- What if REACHING OUT became something we instinctively do, cannot NOT do, because we couldn’t live with the consequences of failing to ACT in that moment?
What if such CARING and INVOLVEMENT became NATURAL
in our culture and society?
Think it could never happen? Think again and consider the following…
People mirror the behaviour they see…
What happens when you hear a bell?
Experiments have been conducted with strangers waiting in a room, where one person is (unknowingly) the subject and all others complicit in the experiment.
A bell rings and all people stand up, except the test subject. The bell rings again and all sit back down. The bell rings again and they all stand up, then sit back down.
Within a few cycles the test subject is performing on queue with the others, not knowing why, but conforming.
When a second test subject enters the room, the first test subject and the others soon teach the new subject to stand and sit on queue.
Do you think WE could ever condition OURSELVES to STAND UP for others?
Could we TEACH CARING to others by OUR example?
When you hear a crash...
In another experiment, a room full of people sit and wait. One is the test subject; the others are complicit in the experiment. Suddenly from an adjacent room there is a CRASH, the sound of objects falling and then cries for help.
The test subject looks around at the faces of the others, but seeing NO CONCERN or even awareness, and them taking NO ACTION, the test subject goes back to waiting in silence and inaction just like the others even though cries for help continue.
By contrast, if there is only the test subject in the room, they are far more likely to investigate and see if help is needed. They instinctively respond to cries for help.
Why the difference in behaviour?
It’s called Diffusion of Responsibility…
According to Wikipedia, “Diffusion of responsibility is a sociopsychological phenomenon whereby a person is less likely to take responsibility for action or inaction when other bystanders or witnesses are present. Considered a form of attribution, the individual assumes that others either are responsible for taking action or have already done so.”
Watch the video below and see it in action…
The majority of people feel it’s much more important to blend in than to stand up for what they intuitively know is right. However, once one person sets the pattern to help, others are quick to follow.
It’s essentially the same “follow the leader” behaviour of mimicking what they see others doing.
If uncaring can be learned, then
CARING can be learned…
…and it wouldn’t even be that difficult to learn because the nature to care is innate in us, just as it is natural and instinctive to care for our children… UNLESS the opposite is taught by poor example in our culture and society.
If uncaring can be taught by poor example, CARING can be taught by GOOD example.
We DO have potential to change. individually and collectively, we can become again who we truly are…
When trash becomes normalized...
In some large cities graffiti on walls and trash in the streets, is (or was) common. Picture New York city subways in the 1970s. Even though trash receptacles were available, many people discarded their trash on the ground. Trash on the ground had been normalized, no one took ACCOUNTABILITY for it. It was a big mess and most accepted that was “just the way it was.” People seemed unconcerned and accepting of trash.
Why?
Perhaps because a culture of UNCARING and UN-accountability had been normalized?
Contrast this with Japan…
Most public spaces are IMMACULATE. If a piece of trash gets away from someone, somebody ELSE immediately picks it up and disposes of it properly.
Why?
Because a culture of CARING and accountability HAS been normalized.
What happens when you drop the first piece of trash?
When you drop the first piece of trash it implies this is acceptable and normal. Others are more likely to do the SAME.
What would happen in Japan if people began leaving trash where it fell? Would Japan begin looking more like New York city in the 1970’s?
What happens when YOU stoop to pick up trash?
New York city subways today do not look like they did in the 1970s. There is far less graffiti and trash because a campaign was initiated, and an example set, of a higher standard of behaviour. Once established, IT became normalized.
When you DROP a piece of trash, that is a vote for the kind of uncaring world you are willing to ACCEPT.
When you PICK UP trash, that is a vote for the kind of caring world YOU are willing to help CREATE.
Taking meaningful action...
- What if this concept of caring and accountability was EXTENDED to other aspects of our culture, society, and world?
- What if we extended it to such things as homelessness, poverty, drug abuse, unemployment, and hunger?
OR are these just SYMPTOMS? - What if the ROOT CAUSE of these were discouragement, hopelessness, desperation, low self esteem and greed?
Would ADDRESSING these root causes see symptoms DISAPPEAR? - What if we consciously decided and CHOSE to address root causes instead of symptoms?
- What if we actually drilled down to root causes to SOLVE underlying issues instead of applying Band-Aid solutions that ultimately don’t stick?
- What if we took constructive ACTION that actually makes a DIFFERENCE instead of mouthing trendy platitudes?
- What if instead of crowing “We stand with ABC and XYZ” we actually TOOK meaningful action to HELP and uplift them?
- What if we stopped waiting for others and started DOING what we can ourselves, with each of us starting in small ways as opportunities present and we are able?
- What if others saw us and began MIRRORING caring and helpfulness and began doing what they could as well?
- What if instead of allowing DIFFUSION of Responsibility to propagate, like in the videos above, we consciously chose to model and SEED a CONCENTRATION of Responsibility in situations we encounter and can affect?
- What if when we see someone in need and others are passing them by, we STEP IN and demonstrate caring, and who we are, and the type of world we want to help CREATE.
- What if even our so-called “leaders” and politicians SAW what we are doing and began working with us?
- What if we began TRANSFORMING our world one person, one situation, one opportunity at a time?
- What if this built momentum and a groundswell of caring that RIPPLED through multiple aspects of our world?
WHAT IF this culture of caring is based on
the understanding that we are ALL connected and
that uplifting ONE, uplifts ALL …and that A Rising Tide Lifts All Boats.
What if WE decided to BE that Rising Tide?
Cooperation Outperforms Competition
The false god of competition…
There is nothing wrong with friendly competition, competition for amusement, or striving to set a new personal best. But competition has been SOLD as THE way to achieve and attain what we have been CONDITIONED to desire.
We are taught to COMPETE for grades in school, jobs, career advancement, spouses, club membership, and in sports.
Some teach children that winning is everything, and for some, the only thing, and that second place or lower is failure.
We compete to get our kids into...
- the best daycare…
- best nursery school…
- primary school…
- high school…
- college, and university…
…with the rabid belief that achieving earlier objectives is ESSENTIAL to achieving the later ones.
Some even teach…
- that dirty tricks are OK if they help you win…
- that taking advantage of another is OK if it helps you win…
…and conversely…
- that “taking your eye off the ball” to assist another is weakness and folly that can cause you to lose.
We can become selfish...
We can become like…
- hogs at the trough pushing and shoving others out of our way so we can gorge ourselves…
- piranhas tearing at anything we think will serve US with no thought for OTHERS or their needs.
Look around the planet and see how some sit as bloated gluttons, while others starve.
Competition can build strength, but it can also diminish and disgrace us...
Competition has its place, but in appropriate circumstances and measure.
Competition can also cause useless friction, where unproductive energy results in spinning our wheels and creating heat and noise rather than constructive motion forward.
For more thoughts on Cooperation and Competition, see our Blog post: The False God of Competition.
Survival of the Fittest is touted as a great truth of nature, but is largely a myth…
The harmony of cooperation…
Studies of social systems in nature have revealed mostly COOPERATION, not competition.
There may be some competition for mating partners, prime locations, or the first share of food from killed game, but not to the extent that one animal consumes excessively while others starve.
That behaviour seems unique to humans.
Most systems in nature feature harmonious interaction and rely on it for ALL to thrive.
Consider a beehive or ant colony. While there is a queen and others perform specific roles, none are deprived or excluded.
Cooperation in nature...
It has even been observed that some herd animals “VOTE” by standing and pointing in the direction they are inclined to go, with the majority determining the direction for the entire herd.
Primates have their groups with their own social structure. Though there may be conflict with neighbouring groups, life within a group is generally harmonious.
Penguins may compete for prime location and the most desirable stones to build their nests…
…but thousands coexist in peace.
Elephants form a circle to protect their young from threats and will cooperate to rescue one of their kind in trouble.
Dolphins have assisted humans in distress, as well as sought human help freeing another trapped dolphin, or trapped human.
Cooperation brings greatest BENEFIT
for the greatest NUMBER.
While the strong protect the herd, and adults care for their young, the oldest and sickest may sacrifice themselves so the healthy and young survive.
COMPETITION tends to strengthen a few, but dis-serves the many.
COOPERATION empowers and best serves most of a society, be it human or animal.
Thriving through cooperation…
More can be accomplished working TOGETHER than working individually. That’s obvious.
IMAGINE…
- a hive operated with one bee…
- an ant colony of one ant trying to overcome an intruder, or bridge a flowing stream…
- or a single mother elephant trying to form a circle around her calf.
Cooperation also enables thriving through SPECIALIZATION.
Without having to meet all needs one can become more effective meeting certain select needs.
The butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker all have their areas of specialization, which lets them FOCUS, and share their wares, while benefiting from shared wares produced by other specialists.
Imagine the
Benefits from feeling CONNECTED…
- Benevolent cooperation such that ALL contribute and all BENEFIT…
- Cohesion and coordination by working together in UNISON…
- Co-alignment so energies are directed and applied for greatest EFFECT…
- Co-benefiting so all participate and all are CARED FOR…
CONNECTEDNESS, such that all UNDERSTAND…
…their value…
…their relationship with the whole…
…their inherent self worth…
…and that they’re a crucial part of ALL-THAT-IS.
Aren't these ideals worth pursuing and achieving, together?
How do we do all this?
We’ll get to our practical suggestions of how to do this when we discuss the Springboard Practices later in this website.
Stay tuned and keep learning the seven Pillars of the Paradigm.
Oneness to the nth degree…
Once you wrap your mind around the concept of ONENESS, and its potential to TRANSFORM our world, the next step is to EXTEND the concept outward…
HOW far outward?
We’ll touch on THAT more in an upcoming Pillar…
Forgetting Oneness to play the game…
Oneness is one of the truths we INTENTIONALLY forget when we project a portion of our consciousness into physical.
We do this to have the most convincing, impactful experience here. When we are deprived of this knowing the INTENSITY of our space/time experiences is HEIGHTENED.
Think what is like watching a movie for the first time, versus re-watching it when you know the plot twists and the true CONTEXT of what is happening.
For example, how could you hate another so intensely if you KNEW they were one with you?
How could you be so terrified another would harm you if you KNEW they would never do such a thing because THEY knew they were one with you?
Forgetting Oneness INTENSIFIES the gravity of situations because you BELIEVE they carry such potential threat and can have such extreme consequences.
3D Visceral experience...
You came for the full high intensity, immersive VISCERAL experience that blows your hair back and has maximal IMPACT.
You have no interest in riding the “safe” rides in Kiddie-land, you want the hair-raising experience of the main midway rides…
- the Drop Zone…
- the inverting roller coaster…
- the terrors of the Haunted House…
You are done with skiing the Bunny Hills of life.
You’re here to ski the double black diamond runs with full complement of threats, dangers, the free-fall drops and other THRILLS that sharpen your senses, get your ADRENALINE flowing and heart PUMPING.
You are here for the sheer EXCITEMENT!
Learned over lifetimes..…
Eventually you may want to REMEMBER who you really are and then USE this knowledge to shape your life differently.
For some, part of the game they planned for their current life is trying to find their way back to this knowing of Oneness.
Just because you become AWARE of Oneness does not deprive you of the FUN of riding the amusement rides; it just alters the experience. A child on a roller coaster may be truly terrified that they are going to die, whereas an adult realizes this is unlikely but still enjoys the sensations of the ride.
In one life you may CONTEMPLATE the concept of Oneness; perhaps later in another you grow to ACCEPT and embrace it, still later, you may begin LIVING life based on this truth, and still later living life CONSISTENTLY in alignment with it.
It takes lifetimes to become proficient APPLYING it to daily life, and for treating others as yourself to become NATURAL.
Oneness is a concept ABSORBED in increasing degrees over lifetimes.
Imagine the movie Groundhog Day, where the main character GROWS to use his understanding of his reality in more mature and benevolent ways.
At first his interests are selfish and self-serving…
But later they become more noble and altruistic as his understanding and perspective MATURES.
Our interests over lifetimes become more noble and altruistic as OUR consciousness matures.
Remembering Oneness...
Oneness is a major concept some of us eventually grow into…
Some of us solve this puzzle. Others never do before returning to nonphysical, while still others are unaware there even exists such a puzzle to be solved.
Some are JOLTED into remembering as a result of a NEAR-DEATH experience, or a PEAK experience where they viscerally know they are CONNECTED to everyone and everything and return to life a changed person with broader understanding.
Once you have woken up to remember who you are in this lifetime, you will carry that knowledge forward in future lifetimes. It will be a concept you INNATELY UNDERSTAND and will not have to relearn.
For others, there is no intention to remember the truth of Oneness…
There is a continuum of awareness, and each of us is at our own position along it, travelling at our own rate. Wherever we are is just fine.
Don’t be concerned if others are not open to the concept of Oneness, because growing to understand it may not have been their intention for this lifetime.
ALL will reunite with this KNOWING when they return to nonphysical.
Closer to the Heart...
You’ve arrived at the bottom of the fourth Pillar, and this can be a challenging concept for some.
These are not kindergarten concepts we’re dealing with here (spiritually speaking); this is university-level stuff.
And sometimes in university, after some heavy learning, it’s good to take a break, kick back, and listen to some tunes.
So, let’s take a short break right now…
But first, let’s contextualize…
Oneness involves living less in your head and more in your heart.
Less intellectual – more intuitive. Less thinking – more feeling.
While thinking is great for processing information, for divining direction in our life and in our world, intuitive feeling, and sensing the energies and potentials of various options and paths forward, is crucial.
Oneness is more about feeling. Oneness is about living closer to the heart.
Living to the fullest can be a rush, but Rush is also the name of one of the great Canadian supergroups that evolved organically in the 1970s. If you’re a Rush fan you may already be familiar with their Wikipedia page and Official Website. If you’re new to Rush, I invite you to check these out.
There’s a particular Rush song whose lyrics seem appropriate here.
A real Rush...
Heads-up: The official song video shows clips of former political leaders while singing the lyrics…
“And the men who hold high places must be the ones to start”
…however I see this imagery as a byproduct of the 2k paradigm perspective, and the ’70s when this song was written.
Placing these lyrics in context of present day and the P3k website, my view is “the men who hold high places, must be the ones to start” now means, it is up to us who “hold high places” in terms of higher CONSCIOUSNESS, who “must be the ones to start, To mould a new reality, closer to the heart.”
WE are the ‘way-showers’ who must start by evolving ourselves and, by extension, humanity, and our world to be Closer to the Heart.
Paradigm 3k: Better Paradigm, Better Life, Better World… for ALL of us,
achieved by living… Closer to the Heart.
NOW, with this in mind, travel back in time to 1977 for some ‘70s nostalgia, and while reading the lyrics below, RELAX, open your mind, and your heart, and consider their relevance to our potential future together.
Give a listen to...
Closer to the Heart: Available on A Farewell to Kings
Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson Lyrics: Neil Peart and Peter Talbot
And the men who hold high places
Must be the ones to start
To mould a new reality
Closer to the Heart
The Blacksmith and the Artist
Reflect it in their art
Forge their creativity
Closer to the Heart
Philosophers and Ploughmen
Each must know his part
To sow a new mentality
Closer to the Heart
You can be the Captain
I will draw the Chart
Sailing into destiny
Closer to the Heart
