John Lennon; His words will echo in time forever

When John Lennon said, in the classic song "Imagine";

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today


He was not only telling you about an idealistic world he was putting forth in his mind’s eye, but also a philosophy that very few understand till this day. He broke down the fundamental principles of new thought in this brilliant 3 minute song. The Beatles in general spoke of these principles especially after their time with the famous Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. But this song really hits the hearts of many as the song has many levels of truth and speaks volumes of John's ability as a song writer.

He was suggesting that we Live in this moment, and strive for the betterment of mankind, and not to do this because of a reward or punishment that awaits you after you leave this physical reality. He understood the Universal connection of all living beings and not to be afraid of exploring the self. Which many scholars agree that the concept of hell and it’s theoretical placement below our beings is a way of deterring self exploration as looking inward is titled as looking below the self, where Hell supposedly exists.

To continue the song and words of true knowledge from the immortal John Lennon, they are continued below. Truly allow your mind to analyze what he is trying to tell you as only he could.

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

George Harrison, a lesson from a great master.

Things seem obvious to me, easy and effortless. The world, your daily errands and life, of course that was my decision and naturally  it can be yours too. There are many ways I can say that same sentence and it can mean an unlimited amount of things depending on your own personal views. This is why two eye witnesses can have an entirely different view of the same exact incident.

Many masters say to tread lightly on truth as some are not ready to hear your words and this truth can shatter a person from their very foundation. Even if they dismiss what you say, the observation of these truth's will not allow that person to be the same after this philosophical question is asked themselves.

Why are you here?

What is the meaning of life?
What is living all about?

I will not use my words here as a true Master has spoken about this subject so eloquently and even if you do not agree with me and you cannot argue with this man’s success. I am speaking of the extremely highly enlightened George Harrison formerly of the Beatles.  In his song the art of dying he puts it the best way I have ever heard anyone put it.

George gets it in a way very few did. He saw past physicality and saw past what many call reality. This is all about becoming better and evolving as spirits. Doing it over and over again to gain a higher consciousness through an eternal dance of Love and living.

The lyrics to this classic are below along with a link to the song. Enjoy a master doing what he does best, being himself. Thank you George for all the inspiration and  living the way you did. You have spread so much Joy which that will carry on for countless years. I have been greatly influenced by George and the way he lived his life. Thank You George! Wherever you are!

The Art of Dying 
by George Harrision

There'll come a time when all of us must leave here
Then nothing sister Mary can do
Will keep me here with you
As nothing in this life that I've been trying
Could equal or surpass the art of dying
Do you believe me?

There'll come a time when all your hopes are fading
When things that seemed so very plain
Become an awful pain
Searching for the truth among the lying
And answered when you've learned the art of dying

But you're still with me
But if you want it
Then you must find it
But when you have it
There'll be no need for it

There'll come a time when most of us return here
Brought back by our desire to be
A perfect entity
Living through a million years of crying
Until you've realized the Art of Dying
Do you believe me?
