All these thoughts printed underneath the actual lyrics of the songs were hardly visible due to the handwriting and black and white print of the CD/vinyl.
I armored myself with some patience and magnifying glass to write it all down.
Without
even noticing it, from Beta to Alpha and the
other
way around, had in reality, walked beside you,
hand
in hand.
For
quite an amount of time.
All
this without even noticing any of its fabulous diamonds
As
a piece of life finally was led towards its
non-miserable
worlds,
you
actually gave away a tear (not a spilled one though!)
Oh,
what a delightful melancholy.

Yearning The Seeds Of A New Dimension
Among
the hills I have wandered,
Through
the forests so cold,
Over
the mountains of raging thunder,
Followed
the ways foretold. (sings: '...my ways untold')
A
request, a "leave me be"...
Through
the shape that I longed for...
Withering
visions...
Bleeding
to search for the more...
Behold
the memories within,
A
questful battle to win,
Towards
which he is carrying,
The
burden named destiny.
It
is pounding proud on his shoulders.
Creating
and dreaming
Is
it all the same
As
I touch this flame...
...Of
mine.
I
await your call,
Through
body, spirit and mind,
I
shine - I shine...
The
forces of Prima Mater.
Unite
us this heathen night,
Yearning
your unknown mysterious beauty.
Forever
in you I am a Knight
(Pride
and might!)
Among
hills, we do wander,
Through
the forests so cold.
Crossing
mountains of raging thunder,
Followed
our ways untold...

"Man
should make love at the highest level - and this demands a certain
discipline.
Man has used discipline not to make love. I teach you discipline
to
make love the right way; in a way that your lovemaking not only will
remain
as something biological which never really reaches your psychological
world.
Lovemaking
has the potential to reach even the spiritual world, and at the
highest
level it will reach your spiritual world."
HEart Of The Ages
The
surrounding walls for yet unknown qualities.
Have
you ever been gifted to watch upon them?
Or
the elements so oppressive but still not known.
Was
there ever this moment they cared to let you inside?
Mother
Nature's son, or just a savage diving into
the
wilderness we do adore so much?
There
were times of hesitation and of union...
They
did enjoy the combination when one hand was
given ingratitude or even?
[2
lines omitted:
for
ages the ground we admire
have
been trampled of those whom do not know]
Will
the era ever come ...? That of, when man shall
become
aware of Her ways and his instincts.
Literature
may hold the final words for a glorious
reunion
but do gather forces and...
Strive
for knowledge wide...
Await
my gentle coming "journey", for...
...Once,
when all those in the circle of four
greets
a welcome through the Entrance, I
will
be this one who gathers up with them.
and
then to become their fifth and last
comrade
of spirituality.
Forever,
and into the oblivion of infinity.

"Mankind
does not have to surpass nature. I tell you mankind has to
complete
nature - something which no animal can fulfil.
That
is the whole difference.
You
are born a natural creature. You cannot complete yourself. That is
the
time as if you try to pull yourself upwards when lifting your
legs,
you are able to jump but sooner or later you will fall to
the
ground. You may even break a leg as well. you cannot fly
And
it is this that has been done. Mankind has tried to rise
above
nature. In other words tried to compete and rise above
himself,
but Man is not separated from nature.
Man
has ability, intelligence, freedom to explore and if you have
explored
nature totally consider it is home. Nature is your home."
In The Woods
Prologue;
Pagan
myths from the deep, eternal forests.
A
true melancholic atmosphere,
Haunts
this hidden world.
Where
men, for hundreds of years,
Have
immortalized their cult.
Moments
of...
Down
in the forest.
Or,
wherever we may care to tread
We
are Gods.
Do
not follow us as always, present icons.
Of
your very own consciousness.
...Monarchs...
(and) Queens...
In
your very own reality
Thus
we do know where our lands are laid down.
With
strength of faith, (for honour),
We
shall reign forever in loyalty.
For
we are Gods, do not obey us...
Epilogue;
One
with this world,
This
is where I long to be.

"Just
take a brief look at the animals, the birds. None of them are
worried,
none
sad, none frustrated. You will never see a buffalo go crazy.
They
are totally pleased with chewing the same old grass, each
and
every day. It is almost enlightened! There is no excitement,
it
is in fabulous harmony with nature, with itself and with
everything
just the way they are.
The
buffalo never founds any kind of parties to revolutionize the world
to
other buffalos to super buffalos to create religious buffalos,
honourable.
No
animal cares for human ideologies. And the animals are probably
laughing.
"What happened to you? Why can't you just be yourselves, the
way
you are originally? Why is it necessary to be someone else?
So
the elemental and primal thing to is to deeply accept yourself."
Mourning The Death Of Aase
A
dedication to the memory of Edvard Grieg;
The
classical composer of all times.
"Modern
music has lost its charm because it has forgotten the actual
intention
with music itself. It does not know that it's originally related
with
meditation. The same works for all other kinds of art. They have
all
gone non-meditative and each one of them leads humanity
into
madness.
The
artist creates a certain kind of danger for himself, and thus
he
creates a danger for those who are his audience. He can be
a
painter, but his painting is crazy, it does not express itself
through
meditation."
Wotan's Return
Sing
for me
To
lift above in all these fallen walls,
And
bleed for me,
In
the deepest release.
Travelling
through honour,
Travelling
through strength.
Voyage,
floating centuries keeps the key for wisdom.
Feelings
for the lost winds.
Winds
which howl reverse.
Remote,
the fields of oddities odours.
But
we will still appear in coats, of mail,
And
still obliterate these old origins,
While
dreaming a thousand choirs spell their hails.
Towards
faithfulness.
Become
one with thy weapons.
Sword
and soul.
Wotan's
Return!
Travelling
through honour,
Travelling
through strength.
Feelings
for the lost winds.
Winds
which howl reverse.

"The
person enlightened with knowledge is the major enemy of the truth.
And
its
greatest comrade is the one who knows that he does not know."

The Divinity Of Wisdom
Seek
within your own kind of depths,
And
tell me the tales of your thousand lies.
Yet,
I have withered, but I've grown again,
and
designed my own blackness to judge.
For
as we all are aware of this suffering pain.
It
drowns in this planet's mortality.
Grand
changing cosmos offers to man in itself,
myths
greater that those unexplored.
If
the light, will seem as dark as the day;
even
though my dreams were laid down for ashes,
And
the fates never were stated, nor told.
Even
then I will allow myself the treasures
of
existence...
Related
with my own balance of knowledge,
I
am divided from the pain and the pleasure,
which
has been gained from...
all
thoughts and memories (from thoughts and memories
obscured).
As
I feel the Divinity of wisdom,
float
inside the veins,
of
my earthly visions.
I
am me, Master, but not divine.
•
"The
existence is one. Its expressions are countless, even though the
soul
expressed is always the same. The existence is one
divine
force
with an infinite variation of mighty creations."
"To
know all of the world is nothing compared with knowing your
own
inner mistery."
"I
am not trying to give you ideals - or to tell you to become
this
and that. Simplified, I am only trying to help convince
you
to see that you're already everything you ever needed to be.
Just
let go of all your yearning, all longing, all ambitions
concerning
being someone else, so that you can only
become
what you really are.
I
do not wish to carry you away from your inner
existence.
I wish to come even closer to your existence, so
that
you, in the end, remain all alone inside yourself."
These
above-written words, incuding all words written
within
quotation marks are all thoughts of Bhagwan
Shree
Rajneesh; one of the greatest philosophers of modern
times…
