"We're not gonna take it" The Who


Welcome to the Camp,
I guess you all know why we're here
My name is Tommy
And I became aware this year

If you want to follow me,
You've got to play pinball
And put in your earplugs
Put on your eye shades
You know where to put the cork

Hey you getting drunk, so sorry!
I've got you sussed
Hey you smoking Mother Nature!
This is a bust!
Hey hung up old Mr. Normal
Don't try to gain my trust!
'Cause you ain't gonna follow me any of those ways
Although you think you must

We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it

We're not gonna take it
Never did and never will
We're not gonna take it
Gonna break it, gonna shake it
Let's forget it better still

Now you can't hear me
Your ears are truly sealed
You can't speak either
Your mouth is filled
You can't see nothing
And pinball completes the scene
Here comes Uncle Ernie to guide you to
Your very own machine

We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it

We're not gonna take it
Never did and never will
Don't want no religion
And as far as we can tell
We ain't gonna take you
Never did and never will
We're not gonna take you
We forsake you
Gonna rape you
Let's forget you better still

We forsake you
Gonna rape you
Let's forget you better still

See me
Feel me
Touch me
Heal me

See me
Feel me
Touch me
Heal me

See me
Feel me
Touch me
Heal me

See me
Feel me
Touch me
Heal me

Listening to you
I get the music
Gazing at you
I get the heat
Following you
I climb the mountains
I get excitement at your feet

Right behind you
I see the millions
On you
I see the glory
From you
I get opinions
From you
I get the story

Listening to you
I get the music
Gazing at you
I get the heat
Following you
I climb the mountains
I get excitement at your feet

Right behind you
I see the millions
On you
I see the glory
From you
I get opinions
From you
I get the story

Listening to you
I get the music
Gazing at you
I get the heat
Following you
I climb the mountains
I get excitement at your feet

Right behind you
I see the millions
On you
I see the glory

All said to seek to clarify my own mind. If nobody elses......😀

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.

Through the unknown, unremembered gate
When the last of earth left to discover
Is that which was the beginning;
At the source of the longest river
The voice of the hidden waterfall
And the children in the apple-tree

Not known, because not looked for
But heard, half-heard, in the stillness
Between two waves of the sea.
Quick now, here, now, always--
A condition of complete simplicity
(Costing not less than everything)
And all shall be well and
All manner of thing shall be well
When the tongues of flames are in-folded
Into the crowned knot of fire
And the fire and the rose are one.

St John's Gospel:- Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.

Pai- Chang (from the zen tradition of Mahayana Buddhism):-

The graduations of the language of the teachings—haughty, relaxed, rising, descending—are not the same. What are called desire and aversion when one is not yet enlightened or liberated are called enlightened wisdom after enlightenment. That is why it is said, “One is not different from who one used to be; only one’s course of action is different from before.”

All shall be well, all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

I love that book very deeply.

More from Julian:-

For her, salvation is not, as in the Augustinian–Calvinist conception, an imputed righteousness bought by a transactional atonement that clears us of guilt, but rather consists in being ‘truly in peace and in love, for that is our salvation'. This is akin to the Eastern Orthodox conception of theosis, salvation as transformation into the finite ‘likeness’ of God'.

(John Hick, from "The Fifth Dimension")

In theistic terms, I see it as true that, as Isaiah has it:-

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

The world of opposites must be so for finite human beings; nevertheless, the Godhead (the Source, Tao, Brahman etc etc) is beyond the opposites.

Meister Eckhart "I pray God to rid me of God”?

Eckhart is pointing to the difference between the Godhead and our concepts of God.

The path is to unite with the Godhead (i.e. become "nothing", selfless) then we can once more diversify. Safely.

Or, in Dogenspeak, "Realise non-duality within duality"

Loved this track way back....
