See Repeat Chorus Verse 3 I seek to understand the plan of God If he created this place, then surely ev'rything perfect? Instrumental Repeat Chorus

Opening Dialogue: "Welcome to the Disposition Matrix office, please take a seat." "Thank you." "So have you've completed all the forms? And have you memorised the wake-up fail-safe?" "Yes ... 'I claim my divinity, and this no longer serves me'." "That's correct. And you invoke it by saying three times with conviction. OK?" "Yes, I understand."

Of course we'll also pick suitable parents, country of birth, etc., and code in your life plot synopsis. But you do understand, you can change your mind at any time, and none of these things actually bind or oblige you in any way? After all we haven't lost sight of who you are have we? At least not yet!" Instrumental Repeat Chorus Spoken 'I claim my divinity, and this serves me very well!'

Verse 1 I wonder did I lose divinity During the process where I came to be? Or might it be that I remain divine? My disbelief is some how by design? Verse 2 I wonder did I become someone else? Or maybe I'm still me, just I pretend Believe I'm gonna die - one day the end And maybe this is just a game I play? Chorus v1 One without a second Many become - so I am Verse 3 I sometimes think I've really lost the plot I've done somethings rather my mind forgot It sometime seems as if my hands are bound I see no chance to turn my life around Chorus v2 One without a second Many become - so we are Instrumental Chorus v2 x 3 Verse 4 I wonder if I'll ever understand, Or only know those things it serves me to? If I'm divine, I figure choice it mine, And somehow ev'rything is perfect now

Preacher 03:05

Chorus Say how will you ever judge them not Yet maintain life goal prescribed? Refuse you consider may be blinkered Revelation divine Verse 1 Tell me how will you succeed Respect them their view point? Accept them their right to see things However it serves them? Verse 2 For after all who are they? And who you think you are? That you presume rock their boat now Terminate their role-play Repeat Chorus Verse 3 Tell me how will you succeed Respect their objective? For surely is theirs' to choose How divinity express? Instrumental Repeat Chorus Outro (spoken) I'm not saying you are wrong - that you have no realistation, but are you really that sure ... sure you know enough to be certain those who follow other paths are definitely misguided? That they are not simply approaching the same from a different point of view? That they are not perfectly expressing their divinity right now? Come on, how much do you really know? How much of the bigger picture do you really see? 90%? 50%? 1%?

Things You Want 03:36
lyrics
buy track
Verse 1 Fantasy I want to see beyond I want to know process I want to understand Verse 2 Mystery Appears to be to me The how and why my dreams Become reality Chours Things you want, or you think you want So often find hard to get Seems to you, on the other hand Feelings readily manifest Verse 3 Ask yourself The what you want to feel Forget about objects - reject Focus on feeling Repeat Chorus Instrumental Repeat Chorus Outro (vocal) Things you want You think you want Things you want Believe you need Outro (spoken Word) Question: Might it be that the soul is more interested in feelings than the possession of objects or external labels, and such things are only important to the soul in so far as they provide backdrop to the real business of experiencing emotion? And that their sometimes non-manifestation is therefore because they are not actually needed or helpful, rather than an indication of lack of power of the soul?
