Learning to Fly

Pink Floyd's music is almost universally about enlightenment, feedback, false-reality/perception, or a combination of the three.

In Re: to "...the conclusion that i believe it is about being trapped in a trip.",

The 'trip' we are trapped in is 'reality'. We are made of organs, made of cells, made of atoms. Atoms are simply interference patterns between freqencies of energy and are mostly "empty space" inside. WE are only frequencies and are mostly empty space, in this "3D reality"; even Einstein knew this. Gravity is a "symptom" of the fundamental force, as is EVERY other observation made. Without defining the fundamental force first, how can you attempt to explain anything that stems from it? We use magnets all the time, but still don't understand the actual mechanic behind the 'action at a distance'. That's because matter is not real, nor are emotions, left, right, up, or down. Man created ALL distinctions, empowered them with his "beliefs", and now calls them "truth" and "knowledge", which we pass on to an increasingly smarter, but less intelligent populace (more knowledge, less wisdom). Feedback diminishes over time, when it is not passed on. When we stop communicating, stop talking, to each other, we end the feedback loop, and the "human signal" begins to degrade.

This began long before even the Great Pyramid was built and continues, today. "The Turning Away", present day.

"Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies" There has to be more than 'this'. Ironic since noone convinced Man that 'this' is real in the first place; Man did so on his own and believes it to be true with no proof, other than the fact that it appears, to us, that this 'I' person is in control of our bodies.

"Tongue tied and twisted Just an earth bound misfit, I" Who is 'I'? Is 'I' your conscious or unconscious? Is there such a thing? How can you think universally, if everything you have been taught was defined in Earth-terms? If you can only control your brain approximately half of the time, who or what is running the place while you are 'gone'? Where do you 'go' to? Musical instruments make only 'noise', when their parts do not work together correctly.

Basically, the factors involved in flight and a literal, flying, human being, more specifically, were created by our belief in this limited (and complicated) reality. When we learn a new inward detail of the system, we re-affirm what we already 'know', add some new garbage to it, and then proceed to look for answers to the newly created questions. We build a scaled-up plane, and have scaled-up factors to overcome. If gravity were nullified, a single human child could toss an airplane into space easily. Yet, in our stubborn and infantile way, instead of reducing gravity's effect on us, we strive only to increase lift beyond it.

To learn to fly then, we need to remove our restrictions, not confirm and then attempt to overpower them.

With this in mind, I invite you to re-listen to YOUR favorite PF song! Forget, for a moment, what you think/believe/know about the song, the way you have always remembered it, and why you feel that way about it; remove the distinctions you've created and try to see a new, more universal meaning in the intimately familiar place you thought you had already fully explored.
