I Am Your Mind, Part 2 Lyrics
Roy Ayers
If you believe in
yourself
You’ll know the real you
It’s coming from within
Sincerely, sincerely
You subject yourself to being vulnerable
Not knowing why you fall in love
And so you become
What you are made to become
It’s not at all fair that I feel as I do
Tell me something to make me feel better
My sister, I am your mind. Within you there’s a never-ending magnitude of
infinite strength, wisdom and will. You travel my roads through life never
knowing your own true reality because my thoughts remain like distant quasars.
You abuse me by never letting me say and do as I feel. Our thoughts split from
love affairs to choice of friends. We argue like two enemies yet we are good
friends.
Now, there are moments when we harmonize with each other, and become one with
nature and reality. But these times are few. When after you have replenished
yourself, the fear of the truth sets in. We split, and you start to run again.
Running, running, running. Running through women, men, jobs, people and life
looking for the answer when I had it all along. But I smile… because I am your
mind.
I was your mind yesterday; I am your mind today; and I’ll be your mind
tomorrow. And as our end draws near we will become closer. But you and I, you
and I, we will never be one, for I will part from you and you will part from
me; you finding another mind and I another soul. And we’ll travel on and on.
By the way, I need more than sex to nourish my equilibrium. But I do need sex.
I also need sun, trees, stars, creativity and love. But you saturate my soul
with too much of one and not enough of the other. Therefore I cry. But why do
we cry? Because tears cleanse the windows of our minds. I am your mind.
Tell me something to make me feel better
All your thoughts inside your mind wanting to be free
Well, now you’ve got the chance to let your mind grow… and be free. Because the
music is just trying to say things to free your mind. And if you let your mind
be free, then you can understand mine. There’s no need to be afraid of me. I
want to be your friend. I’m just trying to give you music from deep, deep, deep
within.
And on and on, and on and on
Tell me something to make me feel better
All of your dreams can become reality. My dial reaches full, but you’ve only
been turning me halfway. Turn me up, and alpha and theta waves will spew from
your pores. Knowledge, peace, happiness and prosperity will be placed at your
feet. Let’s, let’s create. Solve. Love. Accomplish. And unify.
As-Salaam-Alaikum.

Zen and the Art of Photography
Driven by a passion for photography and a fascination with the Zen Buddhist
philosophy, the author conceptually and experientially examines the relationship
between Zen Buddhism and the art of photography.
Among the subjects discussed:
What is the relationship between haiku and photography?
What is the relationship between the mind of the photographer while creating a photograph
and the Zen concept of the Empty Mind?
What role does intuition and feeling play in
photography?
In Zen?
Through examination of these concepts and relationships,
the author explains the heightened awareness, joy, and enlightenment he has
experienced through photography and suggests ways that others may share in
the creative process.

Talks and Writings of G. I. Gurdjieff THE EVOLUTION OF MAN CAN BE TAKEN AS THE DEVELOPMENT IN HIM of those powers and possibilities which never develop by themselves, that is, mechanically. Only this kind of development, only this kind of growth, marks the real evolution of man. There is, and there can be, no other kind of evolution whatever.… In speaking of evolution it is necessary to understand from the outset that no mechanical evolution is possible. The evolution of man is the evolution of his consciousness. And ‘consciousness’ cannot evolve unconsciously. The evolution of man is the evolution of his will, and ‘will’ cannot evolve involuntarily. The evolution of man is the evolution of his power of doing, and ‘doing’ cannot be the result of things which ‘happen.’ IN SEARCH OF THE MIRACULOUS, pp. 56, 58 BUT THE BEING OF TWO PEOPLE CAN DIFFER from one another more than the being of a mineral and of an animal. This is exactly what people do not understand. And they do not understand that knowledge depends on being. Not only do they not understand this latter but they definitely do not wish to understand it. And especially in Western culture it is considered that a man may possess great knowledge, for example he may be an able scientist, make discoveries, advance science, and at the same time he may be, and has a right to be, a petty, egoistic, caviling, mean, envious, vain, naïve, and absent-minded man. It seems to be considered here that a professor must always forget his umbrella everywhere. IN SEARCH OF THE MIRACULOUS, p. 65 |

The Quiet Truth about Trees
Trees are vitally important to world health on all levels. Globally, forests are essential to the health of ecosystems and their functions, biodiversity and economics. Some of the many key functions of forests include climate regulation, the cycling and distribution of nutrients, and the provision of raw materials and resources. Trees cleanse the air and provide oxygen, help soil retain water, shield animals and other plants from the sun and other elements, and provide habitat for animals and plants. They help regulate the climate, cycle and distribute nutrients and provide raw materials and other resources. And don't forget the awesome beauty they give us throughout each year!

Three Views Of A Secret

The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware.

Chapultepec Lake
 |
One of the most popular pastimes among the city's children and teenagers is to hire a boat and row around the lake located in the Chapultepec Forest. Here people can take to the water, accompanied by the local duck and goose population, all set amidst picturesque woodland: a fine place for a family outing, right in the heart of the city. (MyTG) |

Serpents Fountain
 |
| Fuente de las Viboras |
To The Aztecs Quetzalcoatl was, as his name indicates, a feathered serpent, a flying reptile (much like a dragon), who was a boundary maker (and transgressor) between earth and sky. He was also a creator deity having contributed essentially to the creation of Mankind. He also had anthropomorphic forms, for example in his aspects as Ehecatl the wind god. Among the Aztecs the name Quetzalcoatl was also a priestly title, as the most two important priests of the Aztec Templo_Mayor were called "Quetzalcoatl Tlamacazqui". In the Aztec ritual calendar, different deities were associated with the cycle of year names: Quetzalcoatl was tied to the year Ce Acatl (One Reed), which correlates to the year 1519.

Chapultepec Lake
Location of the Chapultepec Lake production of Swan Lake, a ballet by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. The scenario, initially in four acts, was fashioned from Russian folk tales as well as an ancient German legend. It tells the story of Princess Odette, a princess turned into a swan by an evil sorcerer's curse. The choreographer of the original production was Julius Reisinger. Although it is presented in many different versions, most Ballet companies base their stagings both choreographically and musically on the Swan Lake 1895 of Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov.

Ahuehuete
Detail
Ahuehuete became the national tree of Mexico in 1910. The tree is sacred to the native peoples of Mexico, and is featured in the Zapotec creation myth. To the Aztecs, the combined shade of an āhuēhuētl and a pōchōtl (Ceiba pentandra) metaphorically represented a ruler's authority. According to legend, Hernán Cortés wept under an ahuehuete in Popotla after suffering defeat during the Battle of La Noche Triste.
Ahuehuetes are frequently cultivated in Mexican parks and gardens. The wood is used to make house beams and furniture. The Aztecs used its resin to treat gout, ulcers, skin diseases, wounds, and toothaches. A decoction made from the bark was used as a diuretic and an emmenagogue. Pitch derived from the wood was used as a cure for bronchitis The leaves acted as a relaxant and could help reduce itching. (Wiki)
