((( THE MIRACLE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT )))

I am now more convinced than ever that what we can really call our own in life are our efforts towards the accomplishment of an objective. Whether or not we are successful is beyond our control. It is up to invisible forces behind the scenes of the reality we experience. We can do all the 'right things' and do our very best suffering day after day after day towards the accomplishment of our dreams. However whether or not we realize those dreams is totally beyond our control.

I feel we have to use our intuition to determine whether or not we can indeed accomplish what we are aiming for in life. Chances are if we can clearly envision accomplishing an objective there is indeed the hope of accomplishing it. However, all those who lost in the recent Olympic competitions will most certainly agree that is not enough, right?

((( DARLING JE VOUS AIME BEAUCOUP )))

Darling, je vous aime beaucoup

Je ne sais pas what to do

You know you've completely

Stolen my heart

Morning, noon and nighttime too

Toujours, wondering what to do

That's the way I've felt

Right from the start

Ah, Cheri!

My love for you is très, très fort

Wish my French were good enough

I'd tell you so much more

But I hope that you compris

All the things you mean to me

Darling, je vous aime beaucoup

I love you, yes I do

Wish my French were good enough

I'd tell you so much more

But I hope that you compris

All the things you mean to me

Darling, je vous aime beaucoup

I love you, yes I do

(Darling, je vous aime beaucoup)

I love you, yes I do

((( STRAIGHTEN UP AND FLY RIGHT )))

A buzzard took a monkey for a ride in the air

Monkey thought that everything was on the square

The buzzard tried to throw the monkey off his back

But the monkey grabbed his neck and said "Now listen, jack"

"Straighten up and fly right

"Straighten up and stay right

"Straighten up and fly right

"Cool down papa, don't you blow your top

"Ain't no use in divin'

"What's the use of jivin'

"Straighten up and fly right

"Cool down papa, don't you blow your top."

The buzzard told the monkey "You are chokin' me

"Release your hold, and I will set you free"

The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye

And said "Your story's so touching but it sounds like a lie"

Straighten up and fly right

Straighten up and stay right

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down papa don't you blow your top

[Interlude]

Straighten up and fly right

Straighten up and stay right

Straighten up and fly right

Cool down papa don't you blow your top

Ain't no use in divin'

What's the use of jivin'

You better, straighten up and fly right

Cool down papa don't you blow your top

Fly right

((( NATURE BOY )))

There was a boy

A very strange enchanted boy

They say he wandered very far

Very far

Over land and sea

A little shy and sad of eye

But very wise was he

And then one day

A magic day he passed my way

And while we spoke of many things

Fools and kings

This he said to me

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn

Is just to love and be loved in return"

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn

Is just to love and be loved in return"

((( IT'S ALRIGHT )))

Say it's all right, it's all right

Say it's all right, it's all right

It's all right, have a good time

'Cause it's all right, whoa, it's all right

We're gonna move it slow

When lights are low

When you move it slow, it sounds like more

And it's all right, whoa, it's all right

Now listen to the beat

Kinda pat your feet

You've got soul and everybody knows

That it's all right, whoa, it's all right

When you wake up early in the morning

Feelin' sad like so many of us do

Hum a little soul, make life your goal

And surely something's got to come to you

And say it's all right

Say it's all right

It's all right, have a good time

'Cause it's all right, whoa, it's all right

Now everybody clap your hands

Give yourself a chance

You got soul and everybody knows

That it's all right, whoa, it's all right

Someday I'll find me a woman

Who will love and treat me real nice

Then my woe's got to go

And my love, she will know

From morning, noon and night

And she's got to say it's alright

Say it's all right

It's all right, have a good time

'Cause it's all right, whoa, it's all right

Everybody clap your hands

Now give yourselves a chance

You've got soul

((( PEOPLE GET READY )))

People get ready, there's a train comin'

You don't need no baggage, you just get on board

All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin'

Don't need no ticket you just thank the Lord

So people get ready, for a train to Jordan

Picking up passengers coast to coast

Faith is the key, open the doors and board them

There's hope for all among those loved the most

There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner

Whom would hurt all mankind just to save his own, believe me now

Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner

For there is no hiding place against the kingdoms throne

So people get ready there's a train comin'

You don't need no baggage, you just get on board

All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin'

Don't need no ticket, you just thank the Lord

((( MOVE ON UP )))

Hush now child and don't you cry

Your folks might understand you by and by

So in the mean time, move on up towards your destination

Though you may find from time to time complications

Bite your lip and take a trip

Though there may be wet road ahead

And you cannot slip so what you wanna do

Just move on up for peace you will find

Into the steeple of beautiful people where there's only one kind

So hush now child and don't you cry

Your folks might understand you by and by

So what are we wanna do is move on up for a greater day

But just you gonna make it, you put your mind to it, you can surely do it

Take nothing less than the supreme best

Do not obey for most people say 'cause you can past the test

So what we have to do is move on up and keep on wishing

Remember your dream is your only scheme so keep on pushing

So hush now child and don't you cry

Your folks might understand you by and by

Move on up for a greater day but just you gonna make it

You put your mind to it, you can surely do it

Move on up, we can to move on up

Move on up, move on child I wanna move on up

We can to move on up, we can to move on up

We can to move on up, we can to move on up

We can to move on up, we can to move on up

We can to move on up, we can to move on up

We can to move on up, we can to move on up

We can to move on up, we can to move on up

We can to move on up, we can to move on up

We can to move on up, we can to move on up

((( CONSCIOUSNESS CONTROLS THE PUPPET )))

"CONSCIOUSNESS CONTROLS THE PUPPET"

The above phrase just came into my mind, by itself, earlier yesterday.
Supposedly, when one is advanced enough that short phrase opens
the memory of who I am and why I am here.

Supposedly, this world is like a sophisticated Sims game.
I am like a Sims character who is becoming aware of what is actually going on
behind the scenes of my life.

Supposedly, this is a very difficult path I am on.
There are many obstacles deliberately placed to discourage the full memory
of who I actually am and why I am here.

I once again get the feeling that my life is some sort of reverse-vacation 'amusement park' ride.
The overall reason for all the hassles I have to put up with, in this life,
is to renew my appreciation of celestial realms where things can be too easy.

Probably just a bunch of bullshit.

I'll tell you this much:
If this is all a bunch of bullshit and when I die I completely cease to exist...
I was going to say I'll be really pissed, but... on second thought. Heh.

((( WHENEVER WHEREVER )))
