A Crusader Should Be Certain In His Righteousness
Crusader88 was kind enough to respond to my most recent post. Sadly, he never answered my question but at least he took the time to express his views.

To be fair, I will include his comment here verbatim. It's not the kind of post a person can really respond to point by point but I will try to hit the hot spots. Mostly he just states what he believes and, well, that is his right. I continue to be amazed as to how absolutely certain about everything this young man seems to be. I'm 46 years old and I'm not particularily certain about much of anything. Of course, then again, I endured a steady diet of ontological shock from Robert Anton Wilson for a number of years so I am fortunate to have a fairly fluid reality labyrinth.

Crusader88 wrote the following comment:


First of all, I would like to apologize for calling Freemasonry a "vile entity". My, my, I forgot the Golden Rule.

Nonetheless, your lengthy post on Masonry (and several other subjects) has not changed my views. I was already well aware that George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and other Founding fathers were Freemasons, that our Nation was founded on Masonic principles, that religion and politics must not be discussed in the lodge, and that atheists are not allowed into the ranks of Freemasonry.

Several elements of your post have reinforced my view on the Craft (if I may call it that). Although all Masons must be theists, the Craft's promotion of Enlightenment rationalism, empiricism, and discovering truth independent of tradition are very different from the traditional Catholic means of discovering transcendental truths.

We Catholics use (or are supposed to use) deductive reasoning for theological matters- first accept what is currently believed, and check them against evidence discovered. As individual interpretation of truth inevitably leads to error (the thousands of Protestant sects with conflicting beliefs), we Catholics believe Jesus Christ established the Church to preserve and define the truths encompassed in Scripture and Tradition. Some truths, which the Church is absolutely certain of, are defined dogmatically. Others are open to debate among theologians.

The Catholic view on religious truth, which I believe I've explained well, is incompatible with standard Masonic philosophy, which you have shown to be relativistic. The Enlightenment ideals characterized as Masonic, which led to the destruction of the old, legitimate governments of Europe, undermined piety and the idealistic foundations of Christendom from the start. They encouraged the hatred of the papacy and the rest of the clergy. Although some conspiracy theories about Masonic involvement in the French Revolution are indeed paranoid, Voltaire and other key agitators were indeed Freemasons.

Even your own words about Holy Mother Church are filled with much more anger and hatred than I left in my comment:...a struggle did exist back in the day. A struggle where the Papacy continued to fight a losing battle to control the minds, bodies, and free will of the Western World through the most brutal tactics. At the end of the day, maybe you have to make a choice. "Do you believe in Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Thought, Freedom of Religion, or do you believe that the population should live under the yoke of papist police and mind control?." This is merely a repeat of the old Protestant lies, exaggerations, and grandstanding against the "yoke of papist police".

Finally, regarding my patriotism: I love my country, and believe that it has an excellent form of government, although I do not believe republicanism is inherently better than other types of government, such as monarchy, dictatorship, limited monarchy, etc. I hold that virtue of government does not come from its form, but how it actually rules, and that all forms of government have faults they can easily fall into. For our Republic, I feel that although our Constitution provides for a very good government, its lack of an established religion is a weakness. It would be infinitely better if the government did not pretend to be indifferent to all religions ('tolerance' generally leads to preference for atheism, agnosticism, deism, pantheism, and other beliefs that are too relativistic to desire mass conversion and laws reflecting religious morality), and the Catholic Church was the established church. The government should at least encourage its citizens to accept the truth.

My interest is not in examining and arguing with your pantheistic beliefs as explained at the end of your post, so I'll leave them be. My, I'm sorry, but my comment must be half as long as your post! If you have any questions or I, in my infinite fallibility left some belief of mine unclear, feel free to contact me again (it was very nice when you did so the first time, as your post was so fixated on me. I wish you the best.

God bless.

[oh yeah, and don't call me a 'fundamentalist'. The connotation is very Protestant. If you won't be so kind as to say 'devout Catholic' or 'Catholic Traditionalist', 'fanatical Catholic' will do]

I will now try to respond to a few of the points raised by Crusader88.

Crusader88 said "First of all, I would like to apologize for calling Freemasonry a "vile entity"."

Thanks, I appreciate that and apology accepted.

Crusader88 wrote "Nonetheless, your lengthy post on Masonry (and several other subjects) has not changed my views."

Oh, no worries there. I never thought that it would. When I wrote a lengthy post about a minor one sentence comment clearly I was just using it as a launching point for me to rant about a particular topic or another. I tend to do that from time to time when the mood strikes me (the mood usually striking me after a certain number of beers consumed that evening). I quite enjoyed writing the post because I don't think a lot of people out there know what pantheism really is and I was in mood to express my views on the subject.

Since you appear to express yourself as a fundamentalist it is going to take a lot more than anything that I, or anyone else for that matter, can say to change your views. In fact, I doubt anything less than a deep and life changing ontological shock will make that happen. I would explain more to you about reality tunnels and hard wired neural networks, but I'm afraid that would probably be lost as well.

Crusader88 wrote "Although all Masons must be theists, the Craft's promotion of Enlightenment rationalism, empiricism, and discovering truth independent of tradition are very different from the traditional Catholic means of discovering transcendental truths."

On this point your are absolutely correct. After all, let's look how long it took the Catholic Church to apologize for what they did to Galileo Galilei. That's the kind of 'discovery of truth' that would have the world still thinking the Sun revolves around the Earth.

So, from your previous comment you appear to be against rationalism, logic, reason, astronomy, geography, and empirical science to understand the Universe we exist in?

Yes, I can see that Freemasonry is clearly at odds with the ideology you profess.

Crusader88 wrote "We Catholics use (or are supposed to use) deductive reasoning for theological matters- first accept what is currently believed, and check them against evidence discovered"

If you say so. I was under the impression that theological matters were the province of the Papacy, spread through the Priesthood and any attempt to use 'deductive reasoning' on the part of an individual parishioner was deeply frowned upon.

Crusader88 continues.. "As individual interpretation of truth inevitably leads to error (the thousands of Protestant sects with conflicting beliefs), "

So, I find this quite odd. I have attended the Lutheran Mass hundreds of times. I have also attended the Catholic Mass many times as well. Here's what is a little bit interesting. I can pretty much recite the entire Catholic Mass, almost word for word, based on my experience within the Lutheran Church. As someone looking at the 'big picture' the differences between one Christian sect and another, appears to me to be pretty minor indeed.

I understand that, to you, these minor differences in dogma are of some critical importance but the distinction is lost on me.

Crusader further explains "The Enlightenment ideals characterized as Masonic, which led to the destruction of the old, legitimate governments of Europe, undermined piety and the idealistic foundations of Christendom from the start. "

I find this point of view to be strange and interesting indeed. So, you view dictatorships and monarchies as purely 'legitimate' governments? No comment.

Crusader states "Although some conspiracy theories about Masonic involvement in the French Revolution are indeed paranoid, Voltaire and other key agitators were indeed Freemasons."

Indeed the French Revolution was in part inspired by enlightenment ideas, however, its execution by Robesspierre is one of the saddest episodes in Western history.

Crusader88 continues with "Even your own words about Holy Mother Church are filled with much more anger and hatred than I left in my comment:..."

Yes, my comments are. And with good reason if you know your history. Obviously the Roman Catholic Church of today, even if we ignore thousands of protected pedophiles in its ranks, is nowhere near the same institution it was at the height of its power. However, for centuries it controlled the majority of the population of Europe under a reign of absolute terror and horrific brutality.

These are facts, facts of history you may choose to ignore, sweep under the table, or simply reject. Nevertheless, it is an indelible fact of history that the Roman Catholic Church oppressed, suppressed and, yes, even slaughtered for centuries to keep the population under their control. This was done primarily to increase the wealth and power of the clergy.

We Freemasons are particularly sensitive on this topic for what happened to the Knights Templar on that fateful Friday the 13th.

Here are a few references to help you out. The Origins of the Inquisition in Fifteenth-Century Spain, The Inquisition, The Spanish Inquisition : A History, Inquisition, The Dark Side of Christian History, or any others in a similar vein.

As horrific as any of the massacres, tortures, or burnings at the stake may have been what is most significant to this conversation is the abject terror, oppression, and suppression of free thought, free speech, and free will in the human population of Europe for centuries. The monarchies only tried to control your material state but it was the Church that wanted to control every single aspect of your mind.

In fact, it became so bad that sometimes men would meet in secret and swear oaths to protect the secrets of their brethren simply so they could speak freely without fear of the wrath of the Church.

My point is that this climate of oppression existed largely all over Europe for centuries and it is what ultimately spawned the Enlightenment, the Freemasons, and, yes, even Protestantism. These were reactions to an oppressive theocracy out to control the population and extort them of their money on pain of spirtual threats of eternal damnation and suffering. It takes a person of the highest caliber to call this bluff and I am proud of anyone who ever did.

I can see now that you believe that free thought, free speech, and religious freedom are generally to be considered as 'bad things' and that when revolutions occurred, such as the one that created this nation, they got the whole thing wrong. They overthrew monarchies and allowed individuals to worship the one, true, and only creator of the Universe as they each wished.

Crusader88 next expresses this opinion: "For our Republic, I feel that although our Constitution provides for a very good government, its lack of an established religion is a weakness."

I have to be frank, this comment leaves me simply flabbergast. You believe the fact that the United States isn't a theocracy is a weakness?!?!?

Wow, now I've heard everything. If this is our essential difference of opinion; that I think freedom of religion is a 'good thing' and you view it as a 'bad thing', I can see how this dialogue will hit an impasse quickly.

Crusader88 polishes it off with this explanation "('tolerance' generally leads to preference for atheism, agnosticism, deism, pantheism, and other beliefs that are too relativistic to desire mass conversion and laws reflecting religious morality), and the Catholic Church was the established church. The government should at least encourage its citizens to accept the truth."

Hmmm...tolerance generally leads to people getting along with each other. It leads to peace, and harmony, and a people coming together based on their shared values as opposed to their differences. Tolerance is the watch-word of a Freemason and it is of critical importance for mankind to mature and grow.

You never answered the question. How many Gods created the Universe? It doesn't matter how many different religions there are, there can only be a single God that created the Universe and, despite minor differences over ritual and protocol, they all worship the same creator.

From my own perspective, as a non-Christian, this all comes across as wildly bizarre. To me all Christian sects are roughly the same. Their basic belief system almost always includes a concept of a triune God (Father, Son, and Holy Ghost) and incorporates the idea that Jesus Christ died for their sins. They almost all believe in the Holy Bible, and accept both the Old and New Testament.

Whether they call their leader a priest or a minister, or drink grape juice or wine, seems like a minor quibbling distinction to me.

Nevertheless, I believe anyone has a right to believe any tom-fool thing they want to, so long as they harm no others in the process. Having said that, I would most certaintly consider restricting free speech and free thought as 'harmful'.

Crusader88 closes with "oh yeah, and don't call me a 'fundamentalist'."

To which I can only respond, I calls 'em like I sees 'em. Look, I make no particular distinction between any one Christian sect or another. They are all pretty much the same to me. A fundamentalist actually has nothing to do with religion either. A fundamentalist is someone who believes their reality labyrinth is the only one and try reality labyrinth. A fundamentalist is an individual who has hard wired their beliefs into their cerebral cortex and is convinced that they are right and everyone else is wrong. His being, purpose, and psyche is so wrapped up in these fundamental beliefs that a perceived threat is treated as if it were an attack on their physical person.

Psychics Know How To Give Good Answers
By Berry AdamsA good solution is not possible to our problems. Psychics guide you in the right path. Even in death they help you to accept it.Most free online psychic Chat rooms offer free Mini-Readings which could be a brief response to a short query may for 3 to 5 minutes and beyond that we have to pay. Psychics are professionals and they give valuable time and advice so it is not possible for them to do free readings for everybody in detail. Usually online Psychics charge by the minute. In fact in India it is believed that teachers and astrologers which include Psychics also, must always be paid for. Otherwise what we get from them may not materialize. That is why even if it is a friend who is doing a reading they always pay them, whatever be the amount. It can even be a rupee but you pay. There is so much variety to readings in the free online Psychic chat rooms. Some readings are more sought after than others. Clairvoyants and psychic mediums and tarot reader are the most wanted in the free online psychic chat rooms. Psychic mediums are gifted with that extra sensory perception, a sixth sense that helps them see and communicate with the dead. In their words we dont use dead but we say those who have crossed over. We all come into this world for a purpose and when we finish our job on earth we shed the physical body and cross over.We move towards the light. When we lose our loved ones our world crumbles and we are in turmoil. The psychic mediums at the free online Psychic chat rooms also tell us that our loved ones are near us and if we try to feel and believe it we can get some signs from them. At the same time the psychics say that they are now at a different vibration and if we keep morning too much it hurts them to come to a lower vibration all the time. On the other hand we have to believe that they have done their duty on this earth and left to pursue higher spiritual lessons. So we have to leave them and let them go further towards the light. Think of all the happy timed you have had with them. It was this psychic who lived in an apartment next to her elderly mother. One night at around 1pm she woke feeling uneasy. Her inner senses told her that her mother was in danger. Yet she did not want to disturb her and went back to sleep. She dreamt that her mother was talking to her, telling her she is spinning into a dark tunnel and she is very afraid. The psychic apparently told her to go towards the light at the end of the tunnel and not to be afraid. Immediately the psychic got up and she knew that her mother was no more. She let herself in to her mothers apartment in the middle of the night to find she had died in her sleep. Psychics in the online chat rooms always tell us that there is a feeling of going through a dark tunnel when someone dies and there is always light at the end of the tunnel. About the Author: I enjoy writing articles about free psychic reading online now and absolutely free online psychic reading on my site weekly.

A Dark Muse A History Of The Occult By Gary Lachman
"MR. LACHMAN CONTINUES TO DELIGHT AND AMAZE ME WITH A PRODIGIOUS MIND FOR WESTERN ESOTERICISM AND A DISARMING WRITING STYLE SO MUCH LIKE HIS MENTOR, COLIN WILSON, IN THAT ONE FEELS HE IS THERE WITH YOU DISCUSSING THESE FASCINATING TOPICS. THIS IS A WORK THAT EXPLORES THE LITERARY HISTORY OF WESTERN OCCULTISM AND THE TERMINAL DOCUMENTS THAT MAKE UP THAT INTELLECTUAL HISTORY. THIS WORK STANDS IN THE EFFORT TO PLACE BEFORE THE PUBLIC THE HISTORICAL REALITY THAT THE ESOTERIC HAS BEEN A FOUNDATION STONE UPON WHICH MANY CULTURAL ENDEAVORS HAVE BEEN FOCUSED UPON, BUT REMAIN "OUTSIDE" AND UNRECOGNIZED BY MANY ACADEMICS AND SCHOLARS."

"THE CHAPTER ON THE PRE- REVOLUTION RUSSIAN OCCULT LITERARY SCENE IS EXCELLENT AND YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF JOTTING DOWN TITLES ">

"HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, THIS IS ONE MUSE THAT WILL CONTINUE TO INSPIRE, ENLIGHTEN, AND PROVOKE EVEN AFTER REPEATED READINGS."

Helping The Hurting
Most people like to help others and that is a good thing, because we are surrounded by hurting people every day. They may be in your small group or Bible study, over your backyard fence or someone you meet in line at the store.

The people in your circle of influence may share with you the difficulties and trials they have going on in their lives because their burden is too heavy to bear alone. They may want counsel, or comfort, a suggestion or solution or they may just want someone to say they understand how hard life is right now.

What do we say, and how should we respond when a person entrusts us with things that are important to them? How can we help them in a meaningful way?

I am addressing this because I have seen and experienced the rather painful results of the responses of well-meaning people who think they are helping a hurting person. Some well intentioned answers can bring more pain and sorrow and add to their load of pain. Responding to someone who is hurting requires a sensitive spirit.

You must listen carefully to what the person is telling you with compassion and empathy. Let them tell their story! You may be the first person (or people) she has trusted enough to bare her soul to and your reaction to her will be important as to where she goes from there.

It is very difficult for someone in a leadership position to share anything about them self. There is the misperception that because a person is a pastor's wife, or a Bible study leader, or even a Biblical Counselor that they don't have times in life that get them down. We tend to think of these people as "above it all" and think they don't have problems. Nothing could be further from the truth! Those in the ministry have the usual problems of daily life "plus" all the care and concern of the ministry. Those in leadership are often lonely and isolated. They have often had their confidence violated by someone they trusted so naturally, they are reticent to open up to anyone.

When someone is willing to share a part of their life with you because they are in some kind of pain the natural inclination is to want to fix it or to offer them an opinion or counsel that you believe will help them. This can be a mistake.

First, ask her if she even "wants "feedback or counsel before you offer it. She may not be ready to hear counsel yet and telling her now may be a wasted effort and turn her off to you. While I don't condone "venting" as a rule, please realize that when a person chooses to unburden their heart and soul to you that is a privilege you should not take lightly. She must really trust you to share her pain with you.

If she agrees to hear your feedback or counsel I again urge you to be gentle toward her. Watch her face for non-verbal communication and if you see she is stiffening up toward what you are telling her, ask her if she wants you to continue or stop. Be sure to the best of your ability that she understands you are her friend and helper and that what you say is being said in love and be careful not to be harsh in your reply. Even if she needs a rebuke or correction, she may accept it better if you are gentle toward her even though you may have difficult things to say to her.

Many of the things we struggle to accept are related to God's sovereignty over our lives. Understanding God's sovereignty does not negate our human emotions or feelings. Talk about God's sovereignty must be balanced with God's love, otherwise it is cruelty. If you are going to give counsel about this, realize that she may have a crystal clear understanding of God's sovereignty and that she may know the Word of God very well; but it doesn't mean she does not hurt anyway! Often our emotions are in conflict with our theology and even the strongest warrior sometimes has to find a place to cry.

Please be careful not to be chiding in your tone toward the one who comes to you for comfort. She knows what she knows...and a lecture is most likely not what she needs from you at that point. I would venture to guess she knows that the place to go is the Word of God, and perhaps she has done this already... God's Word is never lacking for wisdom and it is in that very Word that we see how Paul was comforted by the people around him. He frequently notes how his misery was decreased by a visit from Timothy, or John Mark.

These things are important to keep in mind as you desire to help others in a meaningful way.

Friends Of Mr Cairo
@ALBUM: friends.of.mr.cairo
Author: Jon and Vangelis
Album title: The Friends of Mr. Cairo

@SONG: I'll Find My Way Home

You ask me where to begin
Am I so lost in my sin
You ask me where did I fall
I'll say I can't tell you when
But if my spirit is lost
How will I find what is near
Don't question I'm not alone
Somehow I'll find my way home

My sun shall rise in the east
So shall my heart be at peace
And if you're asking me when
I'll say it starts at the end
You know your will to be free
Is matched with secretly
And talk will alter your prayer
Somehow you'll find you are there.

Your friend is close by your side
And speaks in far ancient tongue
A seasons wish will come true
All seasons begin with you
A world we all come from
A world we melt into one
Just hold my hand and we're there
Somehow we're going somewhere
Somehow we're going somewhere

(Instrumental break)

You ask me where to begin
Am I so lost in my sin
You ask me where did I fall
I'll say I can't tell you when
But if my spirit is strong
I know it can't be long
No questions I'm not alone
Sometime I'll find my way home, Somehow I'll
find my way home
Sometime I'll find my way home, Somehow I'll
find my way home
Sometime I'll find my way home, Somehow I'll
find my way home

@SONG: State Of Independence

State of life-may I live-may I love
Coming out the sky, I name me a name

Coming out-silver word-what it is
It is the very nature of the sound the game
Siamese, Indionese. To Tibet treat the life
As a game, if you please

Coming up-Carabi-this sense of freedom
Derives from a medative State

Movin' on, 'believe' that's it, call it magic
Third world, it is, I only guessed it

Shablam idi Shablam ida
Shablam idi Shablam ida
Shablam idi Shablam ida

Shot to the soul-the flame of Oroladin
The essence of the word
The 'State Of Independance'

Sounds like a signal from you
Bring me to meet your sound
And I will bring to you my heart

Love like a signal you call
Touching my body my soul
Bring to me, you to meet me here

Home be the temple of your heart
Home be the body of your love
Just like Holy water to my lips

Yes I do know how I survive
(Yes I do know) know why I'm alive
To love and be with you
Day by day by day by day

Say-Aye yaya oh
'Be the sound of higher love' today

Time, time again, it is said
We will hear, we will see
See it all-in his wisdom-hear
His truth will abound the land
This truth will abound the land
This State of independance shall be
This State of independance shall be

@SONG: Beside

I have seen the compass turning
Round & round my heart
The senses are yearning
For a possible change of heart
That is coming to you
Coming to you.
You stand upright, you are different
Why the spinal shock the fusion the evil
Spill it out on the floor of belief
Come and mend this design
Come and mend this design
With every right we do.

I have seen the sun, this sounds crazy
The story about a boy in the rain
He was standing waiting for for the light
As though he did have a reason to know
Did he really know?
His eyes were open they expected someone
In his heart he felt the compass was turned on

I will echo, ho for reasons that change me
Every thought, though it takes so long,
Is master with every plan

It would seem there is no end
To the bad or goodness in man
So my friend it seems the weariest night
Just leads to a heavenly dawn
Should we see so much
In every time we sigh.

Even this we could call music
As that would match my body connection
Let me take your hand, I will be beside you beside

He took so much a lot of my mind
I can't help believe all though is sublime
It this fate
I see it again & again
Yes, I am taugh to love above every reason
Every one every season
The compass will turn
And turn again
turn again
And turn again.

In the wind-on the ship-a lullaby
We sailing pass the moment of time

In search of a new land.

@SONG: The Friends Of Mr. Cairo

She came, as in the book, Mickey Spillane
That Saturday night dark masquerade
Had filled his friend with lead, the same, sweetheart

But then, as nothing happens quite the same
Investigation is the game
He had to check her story right away-he dead
Sam Space his buddy Archer first to go he got it
She spelt it out, how could they know the 'Fatman' got it
-he dead
Her sister didn't really live at all-confusion-he dead
His chase led to the Fatman, to face the friends of
Mr. Cairo

That night, the double crosser got it right
Pretending he was really dim
He slipped to Sam a double gin (Mickey Finn)

He woke, the boys had gone, but not his gun
They'd left a note to lead him on
The chase to find the Maltese Falcon-you bet-

Early thirties gangster movies
Set to spellbind population

From Chicago to Hong Kong
Via Istanbul the Talking Tong

Dirty rats thru' prohibition
Money flowed thru gangsterism

Acting out his fantasy
In Hollywoods vicinity

The best part for the best rendition
Al Capone he sent to prison

Citizen Kane came fast and quickly
Conquerin ol' New York City

Poking fun at superstition
Media became television

Give me Cagney anyday
Or Jimmy Stewart for President

Or Edward 'G' and all those guys
Who always shoot between the eyes
Between the eyes
Between the eyes

Father love do you work, do you work for Mother
Chances could call, and accept that, be no other
Science as it might, disappear correspond with colour
Chance is the fruit, will outlive, what is now the brother
Call for total wealth to distribute like a picture
In black and white, give it joy, give it, let it hit you
Spoil our existence by extreme gift to population
Father love do you work, do you work for Mother
Tell me straight be the Godfather be no other
Media Kings give us now give us total movie
Now being here, being now, being here believing

One on one to talk to you
Like film stars they get close to you
You've mirrored his appeal
He wants you so, he wants to be beside you
Then you pass by giving him the other side of you
Like the mystics do
So that every time he moves, he moves for you

Soul and light can always see
The metting of true love and she
This silent night and I,
I guess a lonely mind might see

I've seen love on the screen
I've seen a screen goddesss and me-oh
How often this, how often, this the power of you
And so, I must confess
Whatever I see
I'm meant to be there with you
With you with you With you, with you

Silent golden movies, talkies, technicolour, long ago
My younger ways stand clearer, clearer than
my footprints
Stardom greats I've followed closely
Closer than the nearest heartbeat
Longer that expected-ther were great-
Oh love oh love just to see them
Acting on the silver screen, oh my
Clark Gable, Fairbanks, Maureen O'Sullivan
Fantasy would fill my life and I
Love fantasy so much
Did you see in the morning light
I really talked, yes I did, to Gods early dawning light
And I was privileged to be as I am to this day
To be with you. To be with you

The Friends Of Mr. Cairo (Background voices)

The song opens at the point of break up with the sound of gangster's machine guns, and arguing voice overs stating:

Man: OK, This is the picture: Jonny been hurt, he's hurt bad.
Woman: We cant leave him here. Look he's in a pool of blood, he's gonna die.
Man: We gotta leave him here Honey, look he wont talk. I promise you that. Will ya Jonny?
Woman: I don't care whether he talks or not, I just cant leave him here like this.

At this point we get the tongue in cheek response:

Jonny: (In a dying voice) Listen, leave me here, I..I...I can.. I can handle it.
Woman: (crying) Oh Jonny No!

@SONG: Back To School

Made my escape just a few days ago
I don't wanna tell you how low you can go
Movin' on up get a job quickly
Somthin hit me I don't know wot it was
I wanna go back this (week)
I wanna go back this (week)
I wanna go back this (minute)

They said I was unruly
Better get a job
I really didn't understand the meaning of the word
I tried to get an understanding with the foreman boss
He simply put me down and said I wasn't
(To be trusted)
So I wanna go back
I wanna go back
I wanna go back

I wanna go back to school
I wanna go back to school
You might think I'm a crazy fool
I wanna go back to school
Man its safer in there
The world outside is so uncool

I need the money right now, I need the right job
The guys at work just needle me, they just can't
get enough
I telephoned my friend, he said "same with me"
So wot are we going to do in this unearthly factory
I don't understand, how I was pushed to the brink

I wanna go back
I wanna go back
I wanna go back

I wanna go back to school
I wanna go back to school
I wanna go back to school
Man it's crazy out here in the 'outer' world
I wanna go back to school

So I'm sitting in the dark
In my bed the other night
Thinking about my teacher
Now wasn't she right
They said youd get a shock
Just like coming out of the womb
The world outside's enormous
There's only so much room
People kick and tear your brain
Life outside's insane
I wanna go back "HERE ME NOW"

I really tried to work so hard
They told me scrub the floor
They kicked me like a toy
Nailed me to the door
I wanna go back to school
I wanna hear it, hear it
Hear the golden rule
I wanna go back to school

@SONG: Outside Of This (Inside Of That)

Outside of this inside of that
The memory lingers so right
Completely as that
We've loved a long time, be my friend, I need you

Inside of this and outside of that
There's so much more to finding out
How we forever simply feel the way the wayward-winds
that hide the storms at night
Like the winter came, it changed our lives
We were very merry to be there
Our love, get used to being this way
Our love, once again a story really true creates a sound
so good-That it's true

Outside of this
Inside of that
There are words that come with time
Like love songs they seem self written
So true, they seem so true
I work a moments time
And feel this is one of lifes mysteries
Bringing a smile
'Cos I know wot it does to you
So I'm trying to pass it thru
Trying for you

Countless variations of the memory the state
The mere emotion of getting round
Crazy understandings of the way we tilt the light
But it shines when we make the sound
Don't live by mistakes
We can dance to your tune
But there's this whole understanding
And it's coming I guess-I know-
I hope that you can get into this
To this
I was there and then and then
You were there and then and then
We were there the beginning of time

I was there and then and then
You were there and then and then
We were there the beginning of time
