*Secrets of the Alchemists* Why do we learn? Learning may be nothing more than how the human brain builds immunity to disease and for survival in nature. Therefore, the truth itself and certain writings may act as a vaccination for that survival. In storytelling this shows how one becomes a god. They do so by creating invincible immunity in the brain. Vampires, gods, beasts, superheroes, all require a certain exposure by which they eternally fight off death and, thus, grow exponentially from it. It's a slight gamble that not all survive but which may pay off in immortality. The bloodstream is the dirty river of the body. By drinking blood vampires gain in that immunity. Unfortunately, crime also often works in the same way. One may glimpse how the Philosopher Stone of the Alchemists actually works from this point. Be warned! For Newton's Dark Years

*Downstream Mirrors* "The Righteous and the Bold" - Knights Versus Aristocracy. Morons on their paths. Come! And partake of the real class system! - A person's features and physicality determine to a large extent what the outcome of their life will entail. People, especially socially, tend to take a path of least resistance, like water in a stream or a river. They tend to settle in to their possibilities which may, over a long term period, dictate their long term outcome. If you believe in past lives (or not) then this can create an ever widening gap socially. If one settles in to battle then they will tend to gravitate towards battle. If one always faces an uphill climb they will tend to gravitate towards an uphill climb. People tend to heap more onto what is available to a person, especially in the negative. It may help to look at your possibilities and mark your ideal so it may slowly change your overall outcome in life. Genetics may work in this same regard. Though you may be born into a family gateway, what you gather from that bread may only entail what is available to your physics. Life is, in essence, the process of breaking one's mold for a better outcome and steering out of blind corners. This is the root of social confusion, often mistaken by mathematical formulas, whereby one distance crashes into another. One can become trapped in political danger and espionage unapparent to themselves and unaware of any opposing aristocracies. This creates an unsettling confusion like a bad joke. Crashing a quality gate is often mistaken as an easy task or target. Instead it remains competitive to billions of souls. You'll find yourselves clinging to definitions by Thoth the Magistrate at the bottom of a huge ocean proclaiming "As above, so below." Refusing to understand politics is like a trap will only make it worse in the long term, though they bring with them the reality of conflict and danger. One must avoid the Noble roads at all costs and either take from the down-rolling streams or stand above them the best they can. The awful truth is that these gaps will only become worse over time. The truth is humanity is a bunch of f'ing monsters who refuse to accept the truth even when its given to them for their own gain. They should just continue blindly on their ways into whatever Hells await them. - -Francis N.

*Walking on the Devil's Sea* How does one become like a Devil, both thin and well-informed? Do they eat only rice? Do they study like mice? No. One turns the crank of a watery well, and puts in it a baby unborn to tell. Then they say an incantation, and grave upon a sheet, and wait until a demon shows up and tells them how to cheat. They wander and they wait until the demon takes ahold, staring at the bells in the palisades old. Finally, it begins to sink in like a stinky old rot, and sun and the moon shine down their new plots. They begin to realize what the demon has taught, and they open their eyes to the world he has brought. "What have I done?" they scream to their lots. Well, they got what they wanted. They just didn't like the cost. If you want to cheat you must pay for the lies. Otherwise, don't even bother to roll the dice. So, go back to eating your sticky bland rice unless, of course, you are willing to pay the price. Instead, you can walk and forever avoid the third or the half of the world you destroyed, by keeping well under the truths we all enjoyed. And, don't forget your old Dr. Freud! For Poor Lucy Westerna who broke off like bread

Who could imagine - my most piercing through and emotionally killing piece of ART still thrills. Since 90-es at least.

I wonder if those brave ukrainian soldiers listen to this song every now & then (especially those now based in Kursk & Belgorod)😎

Great classic song. Quite accurately describes the events that took place then. 👍

Love this song. Love a lot of Townes music. This one I can relate. A man has accepted his fate and can appreciate the world’s beauty.

Was Larry really bigger than the Beatles?

Those lyrics just fucking kill me….you could work this into a lecture to the starving not to beg for food…

Every song every song every song the key to magic music 💙🩵🌟💫

Que música! Que som! Poderia escutar por horas e ainda assim não me cansaria de ouvir.

Great Stuff, however, I cant keep from thinking “what Big Star album was this on?"

*The Guns, Germs, and Steel Proof* Ehh! Haa! Poser’s Revenge! Don’t burn psychological bridges, now. Looks like you got a Howler at Hogwart’s School. Jesus? No. No. No. The church is nothing but a disconnected confession receptacle for “sanctuario” reciprocants. You can try Luther. Why? I have a right to be drug free and just use nicotine. Pbbbbbt. Fundamentalists? Yeah. Foreshadowing doesn’t exist nor does allusion. Ehh! Haa! You’re all German and Spanish now from eating paste and traveling and building skyscrapers.

*The Angelic Powers* “To Own the World in Cause and Battles” What is transcendence, really? How does one transcend another person or persons? Transcendence is any act that puts a person’s perspective high above another’s thereby reducing them to an easily controlled body. This can be done by any means that achieves this goal. One begins to see the other or others as animals or demons or unevolved oafs. The most common is the deliberate memorization of esoteric information such as through physically high places such as Celestial bodies or figuratively high places such as historical antiquity or science, mathematics, engineering, religion, or self defense and wartime strategies. Information is the most common strategy in transcendence but it can also be achieved through planning and formality in presentation, the arts, music, or rhetoric. Any work that provides transcendental perspective is considered both sacred and held secretively by the world. Transcendence is especially important in avoiding spiritual possession and communication. Transcendence usually requires daily exercise. It’s like a sword on your throat while you lay on the ground helpless. When God states he is the “Most High” or says “Let there be light” He means transcendental control. The awful truth is that humanity set up religion completely with theoretical gods and God and took their places in human forms. They were aware of the possibility of a true God born of the Celestial by which He would come in darkness for all things to serve Him. They believed so much in their system of political control they meant to bury Him and seize power. They knew they were busted and moved on to claim absolute rebellion and evil. They actually had to gall to think the real God would start an army like Hitler and try to man posts. No. You’ll man them and serve from them. That’s not how this works. The world is known for rebellion against the real God and embracing evil only. The real God does not love people or serve them, resurrect them or judge them. He’s here to reap of the world what He sees fit and play the game like He wishes. I don’t care if humanity wars. They’re Heaven is reincarnation and some old Greek books. Lol😮. The world will become an Earthly Hell. You’re not allowed God here. Get used to it. It’s a slow, slow machine. Be warned! -Horus R. Guile V

*Healing the Eye of Horus* 'Overcoming Set" The Eye of Horus is the mind's eye, which brings healing through Thoth who is a scribe. In the Egyptian mythos Set gouges out Horus's Eye while they battle for Osiris's throne in the desert wastelands and is often seen as a demon and antagonist, though some may argue in his favor as being more powerful than Horus because he instigated Horus's journey of healing as is often the case when confronting a higher deity. Set is the true lineage of humanity as Cain and Abel bore no children after the Flood. Here is where Set begins to fail as being incomplete in the truth of the feminine like even most gods or deities who are under the control of Isis and other female gods. Chaos and destruction are interlinked with fertility, thus Set is Satan, a god who never rests. The feminine seeks out incompleteness as an inherent trait as complexity is the feminine aspect which drives the male, thus a male who is incomplete in the truth seeks the feminine for his journey and those closer to the truth reject her. The more one establishes healthy and truthful definitions in life the closer to becoming the self and the healed we become. It is predicative that one needs healing later in life which is the story of Set and Horus of which Set ruined his Eye which was healed by Thoth. Set represents youthful indiscretions, bad relationships and everyone typically plays the role of both Set and Horus, though sometimes unknown to them. Set only loses if he is incomplete in his definitions or if Horus achieves a higher state of knowledge over him. Jesus is based on Horus who is also the Sun god as was Apollo which is interpretive in the conspiracy of information whereby Jesus hides the truth from the Western World that is based on Adam and Eve's Fall from the Garden, but is also a redeemer, and an indiscretion to those more achieved. God is representative of motion at rest seeking motion, and God is known as immoveable in knowledge. Satan is known as motion seeking rest, in the journey of a life one seeks to become immoveable like God and all knowing, but while still ignorant we act as the accuser. The spirit is the shared state of one's Eye at whatever place it exists. God wields the spirit in darkness because He is the epitome of knowledge and one always seeks a higher place which is more truthful and at rest to the self. Here, God is like the vacuum of space heating the Sun hotter through its gravity and poles which is intermixed with the spirit as defined by physics and all things seek the Sun in accordance to their state of consciousness, except those on their path of the Eye who have redeemed their state. The apple falls and grows a tree, the rain falls and returns to the clouds, a man fall and seeks a higher consciousness because he seeks to find the truth and heal from his past. -F. Blake For Oedipus who sees his mother Jocasta in all women.

This song is . . . . everything!

Wow, how can this only have so few comments and likes?

Just finished revisiting this album after many years and many life changes have passed. It's even better than I remembered.

*Beyond Orville Redenbacher (c)* “Modern Caricatures of Authority” Your entire political and authority system is based on physical traits and fashion tips. Nobody is going to take it seriously anymore. I am through with this moron world! That is IT!!!!! It’s like they stole it right out of “Fast Times at Ridgemont High.” Say high to Mr. Hand for me. NK. This doesn’t look good. Look. When writers make a list of traits that define authority in characters it is supposed to appear shallow and have a rational society to clear it up like “Orville Redenbacher” looks like George Orwell. Hilarious. If you wonder why no writers are making caricatures that mean anything it’s because today’s authority is so perverse they won’t touch it. I’ll pass on the Dante’.

GREAT

Nice

My throat twists, the tears fall and I don't know why.

*Blame the Devil* “The Legality of Music and Biblical Allusion” Goth is revenge music. It perpetuates in a cycle. A lot of music is about revenge. The Bible, is in fact, the biggest work of artistic revenge ever conceived by mankind. Runners up are grimoires, Thoth, and Copernicus or Galileo. If you go back far enough the Earth itself is an act of revenge. The gods summoned other Celestial souls through complex metalsmithing and grails in order to invoke eternal karma of the soul. The female draw was not complex enough like a wooden grail as opposed to a steel one. Some believe WWII was not about economic strife but a collective revenge party. Call Van Cleef next time. I’ll out study you anytime. The legal system only pays in cash or imprisonment. True justice has a heart or overcomes or enjoys power and laughter. Revenge is a truth of life. Hearts, clubs, diamonds, then spades. Lame. Politics is for morons.

It’s all soap to a soap maker. I buy “Excalibur (TM).”

Filejacker remix

Poor Larry.... :( dude just wanted some good friends and never got em. Probably due to the paranoid schizophrenia, but still. Tragedy in its most beautiful form.

A couple of years before recording this Bruce was quoted as saying " Graham Parker is the only current vocalist I'd pay money to see."

I love Bruce Springsteen singing the back vocals

dark broken blues soul. Taking a flaming ax to all the hippie flower light left in the gas tank

GREAT T.W.Z. You are simply the Best

I was once listening this song when I was riding a tram in a rainy day in Octobor in Prague

I was traveling in Prague in October and once I was riding a tram in a rainy day, thats when I discovered this song for the first time

Oh the beauty . . . fly to me, my love. ❤ Minor key magic and intricately delicate instrumentation . . .

I only wish there was an extended version of this lovely song - the bliss ends way too soon.

Best Band in The World Right Here RIP Rob. Not Hearing and Seeing Paul Cuttler play Guitar Leaveing a Void in my Soul, many have tried to play six strings on those songs it's not there fault, Paul Is Truly One of Kind

Always thought this is what a Brontë novel would sound like

The outro ❤

Listening to this music is my spirituality. Who needs religion when you have this.

How do we describe the transition at 2:16 from the most beautiful and painful vocal intensity into a release of pure musical euphoria? I cannot put it into words, other than to say these people were the stuff of godly geniuses.

seriously one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.

One of the biggest goose bump creating songs ever…😊

Amazing band.

After all these years, still my favorite song from them. It sounds unique in their discography. Don’t know exactly why.

beatiful!!!

this one kills me. captures such a unique feeling, a longing. my favorite GBV song

Assurdi picchi emozionali

with this...i can feel again how i used to feel reality years ago.. when i was in love with a girl.. this made me miss so much how i used to feel in those years.. how i used to be... i feel so confused... i miss my ex gf... i haven't feel so intense since that... should i get back?...

you think that this is music... but no... this is waay something else...further... pure feeling... and feelings are not chemical reactions....

I watched a documentary of Cocteau Twins and i learned that the opening riff is played on a real, acoustic harpsichord! I had always assumed it was just cool "synth work."
