The seeker still has the grand mystery confronting him: What happens to me and my loved ones after we die?
The pounding you hear at the start of the song is time running out- NOW is the time to face the music. Your seeking soul is laying it on the line...pleading with you...
Could you ever steal a prayer to deny your god? Can you give up your religion?
Could you ever buy your love and not count the cost? The Truth is free, no need for saviours or penance.
Could you ever take a life when all was lost? Do you have the courage to "kill off" the old You?
And would it ever be enough?
Could you bite the hand that feeds and then ask for more? Will you risk offending "god"?
Could you kiss the wound that bleeds? Spit it on the floor. Let go of guilt.
Could you open up your heart and then close the door? Will you risk dissapointment?
And would it ever be enough? Would you be satisfied?
Every word you whisper, all the tears you hide.
You die for love when it's alive.
But where does love go when it dies? The ultimate mystery: what happens to us after death?
PAUSE THE MUSIC!!! Now here is where we face each other, my friends. If you truly have the seeker's soul as described by the lyrics on this album, you've recognized yourself here, as I believe I did. What this album means to me I cannot relate. It touched me. If my interpretation angers you because you identify yourself with a religion, then I cordially ask you to leave now. Because now is when they loosen the noose on the serpent...
If you came across your dream would you walk on by? Does the idea of *heaven* not satisfy you?
Hold a candle to the wind and just let it die. Are you going to let that burning desire for truth fizzle out?
And is there room inside your mind for one more try? Is hope dissapearing?
And would it ever be enough?
And if you woke up from your sleep, blood on your hands... With full reckoning we see our past actions differently, sometimes with deep regrets.
Will you wash the pain away no one understands? Losing your religion is a painful process, you may rush to fill the void.
There must be someone out there who can help you breathe again, There are other religions waiting to suck you in...
Will it ever be enough? But you've got to experience the Truth yourself for you to be satisfied.
Every word you whisper, all the tears you hide...
You die for love when it's alive, but where does love go when it dies?
As your longing hangs in the air, your soul steps up in all it's glory to invite you to discover who you are...
[The music is a slow vibration wave, an hypnotic flow. If you are able, you may want to sit in the lotus position suggested on the back of the cd. (tip: after sitting reach behind and pull your buttcheeks out from under you - you'd be surprised how much it helps!) Use the hand position in the booklet, or just lay your hand in the palm of the other hand with your thumbs touching lightly. Sway your upper torso to the music until you feel the balanced center of your body, sitting with your spine as straight as possible, and then still your body and listen intently. Make sure you are sitting inbetween your two stereo speakers. Every time Joe says "feed the demon,kiss the flame" take a deep breath.]
Your price, name the time... You can do this anytime you want, and it costs nothing.
The suspect or the crime. How long has this line escaped me? The only interpretation I can find is that the CHURCH says we're sinners anyway so we may as well do the crime and sin. The ultimate sin is to turn away from the CHURCH.
The shadow of my gun ? What are the consequences of not doing as I say?
Get down, or you can run. If we don't we'll just be running scared the rest of our lives.
Feed the demon, kiss the flame, feel your desire... To the CHURCH your free-will soul (losened from It's dictates) is the demon, the flame, and it desires reunion with the divine spark. To do this you must become aware of that kingdom within...
Empty room, turn the key Close your eyes and go within...
You're never alone when you're with me. Your true soul is there always.
Temptation, break the vow. Let go of this reality system.
Cut flesh from the sacred cow. Allow yourself to escape your physical body.
Unchain the tiger, kiss the flame, feel your desire.
Feed the demon, kiss the flame, feel your desire!
Now listen as a guitar starts in one ear, and then a second joins in the other, putting you in the middle of the vibratory flow. If you can't feel the pulse then you need to turn up the volume. The music is seducing your soul to wriggle out of your body. Imagine a hole in the top of your head for you to escape your body and join the music in it's dimension beyond the physical.
Soaked in fear, a curtain falls: Religion, they hung these walls The biggest stumbling block to meditation is the doctrine we were brainwashed with in organized religion.
Mystify my soul beliefs Religion tries to control us through fear and therefore hides the Truth from us.
Confession [telling the secret] is my release!
Feed the demon! Kiss the flame! Feel your desire![Take several deep breaths]
Unchain the tiger! Crucify! [Leave your body behind as if it is pinned down]
Feed your desire!
Pearl of Euphoria With eyes closed imagine your soul is enclosed in a "bubble". It is beautiful, a protective pearl swirling with color in time with the beat. Allow the pearl encasing your soul to ride out of your body on the sound waves of the song as it floats into the distance. Don't jump up and turn off the stereo when the music fades off, just sit quietly ... and allow yourself to dwell there for awhile after the music is gone. This is the real You. Your body is only a vehicle for You to express yourself in this reality. It will someday cease to exist,
but You will always BE.
