lyrics

I AM,
This is my name forever,
I AM,
The name by which I AM to be remembered from generation to generation,
I AM,
I AM the light of the world, who ever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life,
I AM,
If you hold to my teaching, then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free,
I AM,

The teacher is here

Here is this man preforming many miraculous signs,
If we let him go on like this everyone will believe in him,

I AM the truth,
I got the proof,
You can believe it or not,

I AM

Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace,
I Did not come to bring peace but a sword.

And what is the sword for? It's to distinguish the merely temporal from the eternal (Joseph Campbell)

I can see through the sign,
See past the symbol and design,
The culture and the time,
In my mirror mind,
I see hidden meaning shine,
Intertwine,
Most the new wine is rotten dying on the vine,
when the knowledge of divine is for and from another time,
It gets forgotten,
and over time corrupted,
These Images are overused,
And politically abused,
Until there deconstructed,
Now misbegotten youth have no foundation to grow up in,
No nations stations roles or rules, and definitely no judgments,
Which ends discussions,
So how can we establish what is good or true,
and how can we live together if you think meanings up to you,
What should we do,
Can we come together and birth a new world view,
Can we see the universal through the cultural transcend and then include,
How much longer can we tolerate these ethnocentric views,
destroying our world with wars over oil, promised land, and family feuds,
We got 3 names,
For the same God,
And they’re all flawed,
We call fraud,
Man whats with these dudes,
DNA proves,
Evolution true,
Several other disciplines do too,
And now with the internet they’re no excuse,
If you don’t know by now you must be trying not to,
Fingers in your ears,
Your so closed minded,
Your denying, that your lying to yourself,
Blinded and I tried but it don’t help,
Cried but it don’t help,
Sighed and then I felt,
That only time and the use of mind can really help,

Real truth seekers are such a rare thing,
They crave deep substance over flare and bling,
A philosopher king or queen wants more than fame,
We want a better world minimizing pain,
Many people just want the past, or more the same,
But it’s time to change the game,
And the reasons you were born,
Is the reason that I came,
The voice of evolution,
Resolution,
Solution,
Or we start a revolution right now,
Come to the conclusion,
Separateness is an illusion,
Break hold of the delusion and never back down,
Act now,
Not IT but THOU,
A sacred process,
Christ conscious tao,
I’ll be keeping this holy vow,
Not a matter of if
But How
All within the limits of what time allows,
Holly cow,
Chalices of living water turned upside down,
And Infinitely pouring out,
Like an Aquarian temperance,
I couldn’t tell the difference,
Cause God’s androgynous,
And it was at a distance,
I put more emphasis on the flowing tempest.
I drank so deep.
There was no resistance,
And in an instant,
I was no longer asleep,
No longer independent,
No longer Free,
Connected fully and completely to everything I see,
Rhizomatic contagion engagin' and creating everything including me

I AM THAT I AM,
Vishnu, Baphomet, Jehovah,
I AM THAT I AM,
Zeus, Osiris,
I AM THAT I AM,
Holly Spirit, Super Nova,

Krishna, Jesus, and Baphomet,
They ain't got shit on me,
None of them fools had the internet,
This is 2015,
I’m not preaching an eye for an eye or turn the other check,
My philosophy has nuance, it’s not simple or extreme,
King Solomon, The Buddha, and Socrates,
They ain't got shit on me,
None of them fools had the internet,
This is 2015,
I'm not sayin' life's good or bad, enjoy it or retreat,
My philosophy has nuance, it’s not simple or extreme,
