lyrics

2nd Recitation

“THE OTHER OTHERNESS”

When one understands through feeling
There is no gravity geo-captivity
Communication-point.
Through the earth-ego-involvement desire,
Thus the supervised state of distances,
And earth-bound limitations
Are no longer valid.
The celestial spirit master dwells
Above and within....
For we who are know we are to is...
To be and am
We be am
To beam-syncronize
Within its energy-rays....
To rise above
The
Revoluted-eternity......
To feel our worthless pricelessness
Invaluable rare celestial touch
To reach
A Separate onliness to own and on .
The onness movement out
To behold kindred otherness
Cosmo-mysteries
Of an other otherness
That is not like to or of
Their themness
If they are of a non-similarity
Vibration-intensity.


PROPHECY

Advancements will be made
But it is to be of other dimensions
These advancements are beyond the measured.
They are advancement
It is outside as advancement always is.
the eternity/cycle/age code is circle
return again according to the record
Repetition of the mirror existence
Yes, outside of the shadow world
Advancement shall be made
With giant strides
And lightning comprehension
Potential realization.
