heaven is here

when the mind is clear

into love

I dissolve my fear

 

heaven is here

when the mind is clear

 

our concentration

draws us near

the promised land

is not found on a map

 

gotta draw the mind back

pull out of the trap

move back retreat

make direct contact

it's hidden in this moment

buried right where you're at

 

lost in a strange land

caught up in this game plan

trying to find my way back

to the train station

looking outside

but it's not a place, man

 

it's a state of mind

graceland

Meet me at the bottom of the ocean
Where the time is frozen
Where all the universe is open
Love isn't random, we are chosen
And we could wear the same crown
Keep slowing your heart down
We are the Gods now

'Cause I love you for infinity
(Oh, oh, oh)
I love you for infinity
(Oh, oh, oh)
'Cause I love you for infinity
(Oh, oh, oh)
I love you for infinity
(Oh, oh, oh)

"You've been running in circles through my mind
I ask myself "what's to find?"
Yet somehow I seem to find you in everything
Everywhere"

I know I'm always miles away
So I shut my eyes and call your name
Until you're there in front of me
I feel that you have done the same

We link together like a chain
I feel your body start to sway
We're dancing like a fire's flame
Underneath the rain

'Cause everywhere I go
You are there with me
Everywhere I go
You are there with me
Everywhere I go
You are there with me
Everywhere I go
You are there with me

And even if I'd never met you
I'd still be looking for you till this day
And so I thank the spirit's, for they sent you
Because they heard me calling out your name

Our destiny was always meant to
Inspire truth and love to light the way
I'll always be there to protect you
And I know that you would do the same

'Cause everywhere I go
You are there with me
Everywhere I go
You are there with me
Everywhere I go
You are there with me
Everywhere I go
You are there with me

'Cause everywhere I go
You are there with me
Everywhere I go
You are there with me
Everywhere I go
You are there with me
Everywhere I go
You are there with me

"I am Shiva

The ancient One

The division between bodies is only imagined

The division between places is only imagined

Truly I am Shiva - the One supreme Self - Lord of this universe"

"A Miracle of Love

Like a river
Flowing to the sea

Like a wind
Dancing in the trees

Like a flower
Opening to the sun

All returns to the one

Who has loved you
Forever

Forever

No beginning no end

This precious life
Is a miracle of love

All is love
Everlasting love

A miracle of love

In a moment of bliss

In a moment like this

A miracle of love

Of love ohhhhhhhohhh

A miracle of love

Love love love love

Love is all
All is love"

The wind carried me here this morning
I didn't know why, nor did I care
And in the same way that I learn, I teach
And through my eyes I can already see

That such is truth
There is nothing to do
But to keep living in the essence of your being
When you reach the end
The end of what, I don't know
Beyond you will find
The beginning once again

You are forever pure
You are forever true
And the dream of this world
Can never touch you

So give up your attachment
Give up your confusion
And fly to that space
That's beyond all illusion

"There's a reason for the sunshine sky
And there's a reason why I'm feelin' so high
Must be the season when that love light shines
All around us

So let that feelin' grab you deep inside
And send you reelin' where your love can't hide
And then go stealin' through the moonlit nights
With your lover"

"Let your love fly like a bird on a wing
And let your love bind you to all living things
And let your love shine and you'll know what I mean
That's the reason"

"Just let your love flow like a mountain stream
And let your love grow"

Oh, love
Oh, love

i have not experienced enlightenment, but i think that i have seen glimpses of it.

i think that "belle and sebastian - the ghost of rockschool" is quite close to how those glimpses was. not only the lyrics, but also the tempo of his voice, idk how to explain it really.

would be interested in hearing what anyone who has experienced enlightenment thinks of this song.

Give me just one moment
Through the eyes of the one
In that picture perfect moment
In the life of the one
Who is something better, more than
Anything I will ever be

Give me just one second
Just to touch what I'll never own
Let me have those feelings
Of love that I will never share
Show me your compassion
In the dark of this world

I would give it all
For one taste only
Of everything
I would give it all
To become you

Well (I would give it all)
I finally found out
That this world (I would give it all)
This whole world's a lie
And I tried
I would give it all
To become you

It was probably not written about enlightenment but this song tremendously reminds me of my 5MeO-DMT experiences 

Move slowly through drowning waves, going away on a strange day

 

And then everything is gone forever ...

But this one...

 

Dawn of light lying between a silence and sold sources
Chased amid fusions of wonder
In moments hardly seen forgotten
Coloured in pastures of chance dancing leaves cast spells of challenge
Amused but real in thought, we fled from the sea whole

Dawn of thought transferred through moments of days undersearching earth
Revealing corridors of time provoking memories
Disjointed but with purpose
Craving penetrations offer links with the self instructors sharp and tender love
As we took to the air a picture of distance

Dawn of our power we amuse redescending as fast as misused expression
As only to teach love as to reveal passion chasing late into corners
And we danced from the ocean

Dawn of love sent within us colours of awakening among the many wont to follow
Only tunes of a different age
As the links span our endless caresses for the freedom of life everlasting

Talk to the sunlight caller
Soft summer mover distance mine

Called out a tune but I never saw the face
Heard but not replaced
I ventured to talk but I never lost my place

Cast out a spell rendered for the light of day
Lost in lights array
I ventured to see as the sound began to play

What happened to this song we once knew so well
Signed promise for moments caught within the spell
I must have waited all my life for this
Moment moment

The future poised with the splendour just begun
The light we were as one
And crowded through the curtains of liquid into sun

And for a moment when our world had filled the skies
Magic turned our eyes
To feast on the treasure set for our strange device

What happened to wonders we once knew so well
Did we forget what happened, surely we can tell
We must have waited all our lives for this
Moment moment moment

Starlight movement
Reasons
Release forward
Tallest rainbow
Sun shower seasons
Life flower reasons

They move fast, they tell me
But I just can't believe that I can feel it
There's someone to tell you
Amid the challenge we look around in unison with you

Getting over overhanging trees, let them rape the forest
Thoughts would send our fusion clearly to be home
Getting over wars we do not mean, or so it seems so clearly
Sheltered with our passion clearly to be home

They move fast, they tell me
But I just can't believe they really mean to
There's someone to tell you
And I just can't believe our song will leave you

Skyline teacher
Warland seeker
Send out poison
Cast iron leader

And through the rhythm of moving slowly
Sent through the rhythm work out the story
Move over glory to sons of old fighters past

Young Christians see it from the beginning
Old people feel it, that's what they're saying
Move over glory to sons of old fighters past

They move fast, they tell me
But I just can't believe they really mean to
There's someone to tell you
A course towards a universal season

Getting over overhanging trees, let them rape the forest
They might stand and leave them clearly to be home
Getting over wars they do not mean, we charm the movement suffers
Call out all our memories clearly to be home

We've moved fast, we need love
A part we offer is our only freedom

What happened to this song we once knew so well
Signed promise for moments caught within the spell
We must have waited all our lives for this
Moment moment

Past present movers moments we'll process the future
But only through Him we know
Send flowered rainbows

A piece apart chased flowers of the dark and lights of songs
To follow and show all we feel for and know of
Cast round

You seekers of the truth aceepting that reason will relive
And breathe and hope and chase and love
For you and you and you
