The 13th Floor Elevators did drugs but this song is not about drugs. it is about Devi, the Hindu Goddess, one of whose names is Kali (which means both “She is Time” and “Without Time”). In Tantra, the Goddess is the very fabric of the cosmos as well as the form of the supreme reality itself, and she is even the stuff of your own personal being. She is also called Shakti, which means energy or power. She “moves your inner planes” as Kundalini, the mystical force within us which leads us back through the inner planes (often symbolised by the chakras), and back to the supreme godhead. The back cover of Easter Everywhere displays a diagram of these chakras.

*Drives (not moves), that is.
