I'm right there with you. I have used entheogens as a spiritual sacrament and my experience on DMT, N-N, and 5mEo, have left me with the same thoughts as these lyrics express. I have no doubt they have used DMT. It's referenced in several songs. But I am floored by their ability to express this cosmic message so clearly in their music. Not only express the message, but guide you to the light with the literally sound of the music as well... hence, they are the 'Tool' to help guide you on your journey. =] |

This song, to me, is a short writing of the ultimate truth one can attain while being alive on this earth, in this vibration, and on this plane of awareness. The "parable" here is that "we", humans are an extension of our cosmic counterpart i.e. God. We are ALL one being and Life, is the experience of a divided single consciousness within human avatars. Meaning, we, all, us, god, CHOSE to "divide" and live! "This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone" Not alone meaning, life is many. Consciousness of ONE is alone.
The "illusion" is that there is NO DEATH! But only a constant cycle of infinite existence/consciousness.
Destroy the ego side and experience "death" of the "self" only to come back "here" and realize we are humans and ONLY this "reality" will end... Our fleshy vessels will retire... mortality. "This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality. Embrace this moment. Remember; we are eternal, all this pain is an illusion." The "moment" being when you return to the consciousness of ONE, when the ego dies.
These men have experienced "death" of the ego as have I. I KNOW this is exactly what they are trying to convey... I hope you will consider what I have said and pay more attention to other lyrics from other songs. Their core message, their entire mission, is to be the 'Tool' for humans to find this truth... The Philosopher's Stone, the Holy Grail... |
