re: Stairway reversed. I've heard it. Rock and Roll music has been called the devil's music due to the beat and timing, and an insidious invention. It's quite possible that, as the song was written metaphorically and in encrypted form (somewhat like how our subconscious speaks to us in cryptic language in dreams which we can decipher for ourselves), that the song contains words, lines, or music that possess an opposite (other an spiritual) meaning..but I know in my heart and head this was totally unintentional and probably quite a startling revelation to the boys when they heard it. Perhaps ‘Stairway’ is so beautiful that another side of it was inevitable. To you it may have a ‘devil’ meaning; to someone else who has other knowledge, it means something different. LZ are spiritual and ‘Stairway’ is,…as well as Kashmir, Going To California, and The Song Remains The Same. OBTW, re 3 emls TUFTBOMH. |

Sometimes by anagramming words we can get new meaning. So I’ve started to anagram Stairway. There are, of course, several ways to switch letters. The software program to help out with this is $45 and just not in my budget right now so I’ve had to do this by hand. Ouch! To recap: ““STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN There’s a Lady who’s sure All that glitters is gold And she’s buying a stairway to heaven, When she gets there she knows If the stores are all closed With a word she can get what she came for, And she’s buying a stairway to heaven.”” anagrammed: ““AHA! ETERNITY’S A VOW! Led Star! yes u hear show, Led’s art still got a light, when she aims higher to eden, eschew vanity, ether thaws, heals self; shift ahead, go toward show bantr, say seeker new sage soul contract. n.b. Tao white area Savy, sends a yin hug!”” IMHO, it’s a spiritual song and LZ are spiritual men, ahead of their time…DNA referes to our physical and spiritual DNA…one can refer to Tantra. Robert’s a legend in his own rhyming and Jimmy in his own timing. LoL *:) …that’s a flower in my hair for Robert. I posted some poems and stuff on pages 31 and 32 under the name Lyrica. Also, try the transcendence meaning of “Moksha” at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moksha. It is said that LZ used Moksha (liberation from the karmic wheel of life and death/suffering) in their music, which may explain the music’s profound draw to us. I think also that the song itself is a stairway to heaven/eden. Also refer to the humming (bustle) in the head (hedgerow) that Lightworkers experience. “buying” may be “2nd contract”…we are born into our 1st and can choose our 2nd. “store” is storehouse (karmic debts and brownie points). Two meanings are our ‘ego’ personality thoughts and our ‘soul’ thoughts concerned with our spiritual matters. Our day to day ego thoughts are not that important in the whole scheme of things. “wonder” is a zen term, ie. “myo wonder”. “Watchers” are us ie. we are advised to become observers (as a part of meditation) of our own life. “Our shadows taller than our soul” could read: our soul and higher soul self (shadow) who occupies two realms at once, Earth and heaven/bliss; we are our ego selves here; but our soul, who animates us, actually has other thoughts as well as those here. We access that part of us when we live our Truth and unconditional love. We are actually made up of love energy/bliss at our core. (been there, done that, worn the t-shirt). “Kashmir” is an astral trip; “Going To California” is an astral trip to seek his Twin Soulmate. Try façade.com, click on Stichomancy, think love, and ask your Primary Soulmate a ? like “where are you”? “all is One” means that ultimately we are all connected although there is a veil of autonomy that separates us (this is an illusion and one of the great mysteries). Also refer to the “Illuminati” who are insistant on claiming this Earth for the devil and keeping us separated. see ya! Diane, Toronto |

| I agree this is a search for his Soulmate; his Twin Soul/Flame/queen. The references to LOTR is just for fun! He is dedicated to (his) freedom, and to the freedom of All. His "Bluebird" of Happiness is elusive, and he must give up something he desires to find her...'spreading roots'. Another reference to Soulmate is in the song 'Tangerine'...she is not incarnated on Earth at this time with him. She resides as a shining Light in the dimensions/consciousness between lives where we came from and will be. 'Going To California' is an out-of-body experience...an Astral trip he takes to the higher realms/dimensions to find his TwinSoulmate/queen on an Affinity Line. In "The Song RTSame", his crazy dream is about higher consciousness and his access to it, just as we all potentially have. Also, 'Kashmir' is not about the physical place, it's about an (Astral-like) flight/access to Higher consciousness...for example "pilot of the storm how leaves no trace" and "wasted land" are Zen Terms. STH, another example of the Spiritual Side of Led Zep, is about changing ourself's dross of mundane gold alchemically to the spiritual gold/riches we are/will be. Robert/Jimmy could say what they mean directly, but the thing is that, some things are not understood by our rational/reason mind, they are better understood/relatable by our intuitive/heart/higher soul self and best expressed by beautifully crafted metaphor, allegory, myth, and music...like this song. | |

As well as the reference to Joni, IMHO, GTC is about a spiritual trip (the spiritual side of Led Zep) to the higher than astral dimensional plane to find his own Twin Soul Flame/his Queen, (refer also to the song "Tangerine", his "Queen" who is not incarnated on Earth at this time, with him). As in an out-of-body experience (which can also be drug induced. ie. "jet plane"), you're going through the process of your light body (energy body) lifting, and you go through what appears as grey and red hues, a tunnel effect I guess you could call it. Then, while in this dimension, you are your consciousness with eyes to see and your thoughts have energy...if you think 'bounce' you'll feel like you're bouncing...if you think negative emotions, you can 'fall' out of it or "sink". "tommorrow could ever follow today" refers to your 'state' while there...you do not think of anything 'past' and cannot think 'forward' or better said 'you don't plan ahead', you are only in the 'now' moment from thought to thought. "throw me a line" I think refers to the idea of an Affinity Line, that is, like thoughts attract like thoughts (or people). In a manner of speaking, we are all on an Affinity Chatline up there. The white mare is Pegasus, the couple's horse, and is located at the third eye center, the penial gland...but this area is referred to as a 'dome' (see "dawn"). "never been born" could refer to not having yet reached this particular state of liberation (born to your new eyes) and he asks her to throw him a line (also referred to as a telepathic line) whether she is here so he can find her, or whether she is a shining mark of energy in another dimension at this time. "hard as it seems" is the sensation you feel of leaning against the greater consciousness and not being able to, at this time, surrender to it/dissolve into it and it does feel a little frustrating! "Kashmir" is about another astral trip. |

What does this song mean/say to me? excerted from my poem: ♫ IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC! ♫ (a poem-novelette)(petit romantasy) (about the new "No Quarter" DVD Page/Plant) (verse 11 of 32) "(sutra rules) Kashmir's "Islands In The Stream" rite of passage,(DP) (innerlovelightbodyflight)("Magic Carpet Ride")(S) (mantra oomms) You send me, there now, I believe in the adage, (sparklers ! alight) (down a guitar popsicle slide~) (tantra.com) "Drops Of Jupiter"/'s in Leo, truth message conveyer, (vision questin')(totem-owl!)(T) "OBE"&"2012"(EL) (yantra looms) Lotus "wildflower" the jewelry of my love, in my hair *:) (joystick gyrating pitch airship; ballonet)(SY) " Kashmir is not about a physical place. It is a 'spiritual' story about a movement in our Soul/Spirit, an astral (inner love golden lightbody) (alchemy) flight. Some might refer to it as an Out Of Body Experience or meditation, but it is going inwards to the Light at our core. (apprently the average out-of-body flight is about 10 minutes, a 10-minute cycle love/fear; fear or negativity can 'ground' you. LoL.) One travels thru the slipstream or pipeline of your focus. (conscious, subconscious, (collective unconscious), superconsciousness (and back again). You can go where and when you wish. There is no time there, no past, no future, only the Now moment (a zen term). The elders are those who have ascended and who's work it is to be at the ready when our own or Earth's ascension/enlightenment occurs. (Venus transited the Sun last year and we are entering our golden age.) Even though, when there, one's thoughts are cystal clear, and one is "an open face" (that is, consciousness without a mundane body; the substance/energy we're made up is a bouncing 'Love" -- because your thoughts, your 'word's have energy). We hear the soundless/unstruck sounds of the primordial hum and voices of the masters; we comprehend it, but how does one translate the sound/music? "Music is the song of Universe. And this music depends on us to add to it and experience it." and interpret it. (Author Unknown) "wasted land" is another zen term. "pilot of the storm who leaves no trace" is a zen term. IMHO, Shangri-La is the paradise beyond this Earthly paradise. Our Earthly paradise we all have helped to create for ourselves -- (even though Earth has been claimed by Lucifier)/and so we live in universe of good/evil polarities (god = god/goddess = Light), however, at the core it is Unconditional Love; we are all One. "Go...create...as you have been created." "Seeking Oneness is a road to happiness."...Buddha "...father of the four winds, fill my sails..." is a zen term. From a Native American Vision Quest: "I pray to the four directions.....hear me. I pray to the West which gives us rest and reflection. I thank you for these gifts for without them we could not live. I pray to the North which gives us patience and purity. I thank you for these gifts for without them we could not live. I pray to the East which gives us energy and emotions. I thank you for these gifts for without them we could not live. I pray to the South which gives us discipline and direction. I thank you for these gifts for without them we could not live. Grandmother, share with me your wisdom, and I thank you for this gift. Grandfather, share with me your strength, and I thank you for this gift." ** "straits of fear": even in the greater All That Is, we still have our inherent, primordial fear...the idea is not to overcome the fear...but sail or fly thru it keeping Love as the motivator. In the spiritual universe/dimensions, at our core, which calls to us (the Piper's clarion call), we are a spark of energetic Light and we communicate not with words but the Soulspeak of our energetic sound, our understanding, vibration or raised frequency; our Word (...and the Word was Light (God)). God said, "let there be Light", and the Goddess answered, "...and there is Light" (supra-consciousness, en-light-enment). Our Soulspeak is not our Earthy personality language. Here, Spirit manifests thru our astrological star signs, the physical universe; but as above, so below means spiritually as well. (Not Religion, no no, but Spirit/Soul unfettered by religion.) ** "Let me take you there"...he wishes all of us to experience/go there. If he could he would take us all. I'd like to go there with him too. There are people (every one of us potentially) called Lightworkers who are trying to bring Heaven to Earth, just as Earth is also increasing its frequency/vibration/dimension...in this age of ascending. STH, Going To California, The Song Remains The Same, and Tangerine also touch on this subject. Robert's new song, "Shine It All Around" from Mighty Rearranger also speaks of the Love Light.

resubmission of poem in my previous post: (the message board wouldn't print my words in brackets) ♫ IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC! ♫ (a poem-novelette, petit romantasy) (refering to the new "No Quarter" DVD Page/Plant) (verse 14 of 32) ::zen wonder:: 'Stairway' DNA♫here, anew sonance not leavened..sokay.., (spiraling)(fractal)("Glimpses"reveal)(Yardbirds) Song brings "Heaven on Earth" ::walking up steps to bleachers' heaven::, (sigil)(vigil)(seventh ping)(nak-'id' ideal)(P) Nature&Spirit tuned "walking on air" 'the word" rift unveiled, liberated, (wyrdspring!♫)(globalvillageappeal)(King!Crimson)(Beatles) Tribute: Millennium Song, six million plays, crossroads♫even in my silly head *@:) ("Good Vibrations")(empyreal!(awesome!)(BB) © Copyright Lyrica H------- Nov 2004 ARR J+@ (OBTW, IJWTS, RE EMLS, TUFTBOMH*) ** P.S. 'bustle in your hedgerow': primordial hum, a humming sometimes experienced by Lightworkers and others in their head, considered a clarion call by the Piper. If/when you may hear it, you 'pipe-up' and listen. Also called the soundless/unstruck sound. Also soundless/ unstruck until we strike it! (conundrum) ** "Music is the song of Universe. And this music depends on us to add to it and experience it." Author Unknown ** The new humanity will be universal, and will have the artist's attitude, that of the musician...it will recognize the immense value and beauty of the human being belongs to two realms simultaneously, Nature and Spirit...{T. Mann} ** Glimpses by Yardbirds, The album: Little Games "Glimpses of clouds in a forest, Can review well within us, And to never linger on one is life, Energy radiates from the source, The life around us is but a reflection of our own, Flowing within never-ending boundless infinity, Time is just a cumular limit, Which with one glimpse can overcome, Can overcome..." |

What does it mean to me/what is it saying to Me? Post 2 of 2 ** Golden bells of welcome rolled Never forth such notes, nor told Hours so blithe in tones so bold, As the radiant mouth of gold Here that rings forth heaven. If the golden-crested wren Were a nightingale---why, then, Something seen and heard of men Might be half as sweet as when Laughs a child of seven."--Swinburne ** ♫ on the Piper "...A bugleman was by his side, who performed the melodies which so delighted Miss Crump. He played very gently and sweetly, and “God save the King” trembled so softly out of the brazen orifice of his bugle, that the Crumps, the tailor, and Eglantine himself, who was riding close by the carriage, were quite charmed and subdued..." Pay the Piper: It refers to the notion that a host must pay the musician who plays at his behest, such as at a wedding. His doing so provides music for the guests' dancing and enjoyment. The phrase took on a broader, metaphorical meaning as early as the late 17th century, referring to anyone who bears the expense or loss arising from an undertaking (whether enjoyable or not). The existence of the phrase attests to the widespread use of bagpipes in England. In the 19th century the notion of to 'pay the piper' (musician) and 'call the tune' arose, that is, anyone who was paying the piper to play could 'tell' him what to play. Again this phrase began to be applied metaphorically, such that it soon meant "you paid for it, you choose", as in "Londoners had paid the piper, and should choose the tune." (1895 Daily News 18 Dec.). ** morris dance or morrice dance, rustic dance of the north of England that had its origin in country festivals, such as those of May Day and Whitsunday. Reference to it in English literature is made as early as the 15th cent. The main dancers were called Robin Hood, Maid Marian, the hobbyhorse, and the bavian, or fool. They were accompanied by a piper or taborer. An ambulatory dance, it was often performed from one village to another by the main dancers and six other dancers, three in a row. The morris dance was a sword dance in many vicinities. ** ♫ Clarion call: adj : loud and clear; "a clarion call" n : a medieval brass instrument with a clear shrill tone v 1: blow the clarion 2: proclaim on, or as if on, a clarion "...´cause when the children sings The new world begins ... White Lion ** ♫ Crossroads (A Fork In The Road) "Our journey had advanced-- Our feet were almost come To that old Fork in Being's Road-- Eternity--by term."-Emily Dickinson "Each moment of our lives we stand at a crossroads. We can reduce the profound to the mundane, or we can intuit the continuous and vital mystery through which we move. We have a choice"... Maverick Sutras ** crossroads...good/evil/taking the middle road; our Earth has been claimed by Lucifer, however we live in a universe made up of Love Energy which is also our essence. A Romantasy poem I wrote: !~! It's All About The Music !~! (verse 14 of 32) ::zen wonder:: 'Stairway' DNA♫here, anew sonance not leavened..sokay.., (Y) Song brings "Heaven on Earth" ::walking up steps to bleachers' heaven::, (P) Nature&Spirit tuned "walking on air" 'the word" rift unveiled, liberated, (King!

Wonder: is a zen term; just as "Kashmir's" 'pilot of the storm who leaves no trace', is a zen term West: direction which gives us rest and reflection, direction of the gods; also the 'couples' direction. crying for leaving: liberation from the karmic wheel of life and death. who stand looking: The Watchers, us. bustle: a humming sound often heard by Lightworkers -- clarion call hedgerow: in your head two paths: not falling back towards our earthly temptations; striving or seeking the virtuous path; changing stream or current. whispering wind: path that our (small voice) or our Spirit calls us to magnet towards or align with. path: conscious, to/thru subconscious, (also the collective unconscious which affects us all); to superconscious. Path back to our conscious is reversed. We connect to Soul & it back to us usually thru the symbolism of dreams. shadow: Higher Self or Higher Consciousness which is ultimately connected to all and All That Is (in 'New Age' speak referred to 'I AM Presence". soul: the Earthly personality of our Soul. turns to gold: alkahest/alchemy: The alkahest is the power from Above that makes possible alchemical transformation. The word is usually translated as "universal solvent," which alludes to the ability of the alkahest to dissolve or reduce all physical matter to its basic essence. With metals, this meant transmuting (alchemy) them to their purest form, which was gold. In the human body, this meant the creation or revealing of a golden body of consciousness, the Astral Body...our body--Holy Grail ** all is one, one is all: "Seeking Oneness is a road to happiness"...Buddha. "A Consciousness on a sea of sound and touch" (JS) ** rock and not to roll: an English (England) term; The "Lady" could also refer to "Mother Earth" (Gaia), Earth as Goddess Light. Earth contains 'gold'; but just as we are transmuted/awakened/en-light-enment into our golden Lightbody; so also is Earth (with the transit of Venus now), awakening/ascending/shifting to the Light consciousness. It's on a roll. |

What does it mean/what is it saying to me? Post 1 of 2 The May Queen: also known as The Maiden, goddess of spring, flower bride, faerie queen, lady of the flowers. ...the elf queen was like Mother Nature, the guiding force that gave life to all beings, in the forests she ruled... ...Lady of the Lake/Lady Luck "The Tradition: The Lady of the Lake was the foster-mother of Sir Lancelot and raised him beneath the murky waters of her Lake. She is, however, best known for her presentation to King Arthur of his magical sword Excalibur, through the intervention of the King's druidic advisor, Merlin (Myrddin) who was constantly worried that his monarch would fall in battle." "And the Lady of the River gives Her lifeblood to one and all. As the wheel of the seasons turn, oh my Lady, I hear your call." Surely Love is a wonderful thing. It is more precious than emeralds, and dearer than fine opals. Pearls and pomegranates cannot buy it, nor is it set forth in the market-place. It may not be purchased of the merchants, nor can it be weighed out in the balance for gold. Oscar Wilde, The Nightingale and the Rose Love is the sacrament of life; it sets Virtue where virtue was not; cleanses men Of all the vile pollutions of this world; It is the fire which purges gold from dross, It is the 'spring' which in some wintry soil Makes innocence to blossom like a rose. Oscar Wilde, The Duchess of Padua She's got a way about her, And everywhere she goes, a million dreams of love surround her, everywhere. - - - Billy Joel "She's Got a Way" Among a thousand clouds, Ten thousand streams, There’s a woman at ease with it all. By day, She wanders the blue slopes; At night, returns to sleep Below the cliffs. Springs and autumns Swiftly pass by sitting still, No dust can gather. Happy, clinging to nothing, She’s serene as a river in fall. - Han-shan Delightful! This road to Han-shan; Yet one finds no trace of horses or carts. One vale tied to another- hard to keep track Of the twists and the turns; Peak piled upon peak-nobody knows how many Layers there are. The dew sheds it tears on A thousand kinds of plants, While the wind sighs and moans Through pines that are all the same. At times like these, if you lose track of the path, Your form must ask your shadow which way to go. - Han-shan ♫ POEM: Songs from “Sylvia; Or, the May Queen.” I. Chorus of Spirits George Darley (1795–1846)© GENTLY!—gently!—down!—down! From the starry courts on high, Gently step adown, down The ladder of the sky. Sunbeam steps are strong enough For such airy feet: Spirits, blow your trumpets rough, So as they be sweet! Breathe them loud, the Queen descending, Yet a lowly welcome breathe, Like so many flowerets bending Zephyr’s breezy foot beneath. (Greek god of the west wind) Songs from “Sylvia; Or, the May Queen.” II. Morning-Song lady bird George Darley (1795–1846)© AWAKE thee, my Lady-love! Wake thee, and rise! The sun through the bower peeps Into thine eyes! Behold how the early lark Springs from the corn! Hark, hark how the flower-bird Winds her wee horn! The swallow’s glad shriek is heard All through the air; The stock-dove is murmuring Loud as she dare. Apollo’s wing’d bugleman (Greek god of the West, Sun and Reason) Cannot contain, But peals his loud trumpet-call Once and again. Then wake thee, my Lady-love! Bird of my bower! The sweetest and sleepiest Bird at this hour! ** end of post 1 of 2 Lyrica |
