EGO DEATH Songtext
von ALEPH

How do you feel inside?
Inside? Oh, it feels like—like you′re released or
You're free or... I don′t know how I can tell you
What does this all mean to you?
I've never seen such infinite beauty in my life. It's like
A... a good heaven. I wish I could talk in technicolor or
Or let you see— Can you— Did you say you can see it?
No, I can′t quite see it, tell me about it
Everything is one. I am one with what I am. I can see Everything in color. Everything— You have to see the air
And the dimensions, and all the— the prisms and the rays
And everything coming down through you and— and moving
Is all this pleasant or unpleasant? Or aren′t these the right words?
There isn't anything pleasant or unpleasant. It′s too beautiful
It's— It′s— How can you think it? I mean, it— Can't you feel it?
Everything is so beautiful and lovely and— and alive. You— You
Shouldn′t say anything about anything not being. This is reality


In order to understand, one has to have a context in which to
Understand these things. And the context usually is defined as, "
What is the meaning of it? What am I doing here on Earth?" Because
Having an understanding of one's function or purpose makes one
Understand whether some process that's going on in transformation
Is functional or dysfunctional. I think most of you now have
Found through your own experiences that there is incredible
Growth through suffering. Some of the most profound changes
Occurred at the times of the most intense suffering. But a lot
Of what our suffering has been is not due to the actual
Characteristics of the situation, but to the way in which we perceive
The situation. That we are confronting a situation which is dissonant
Or disparate from the model we have of how reality ought to be
