There’s more to us, something miraculous, just beyond the horizon, we were once intrinsically connected to it, and to each other, like magnets.. “Got trapped” Ask any single person how they really feel right now, and “I’m trapped” will most likely shed a tear… ‘The decay’ it’s in the news, it’s all around us, and getting closer each day. But if I look to your statement: -Beyond the embers- to this “Larger Reality” or “Heavenly Origin” is it there? Can we still get a glimpse of it at times? Can we still connect down here to it, or to each other? Paul, once said he “touched the sound of silence” and as for Ziggy, and his “Hazy cosmic jive” well there’s no doubt he was convinced.. Does the music somehow reach us, can we still feel it? Gabriel was asked about this, he said “"It sounds fanciful but it's a real phenomenon, people know it when they feel it, when you get that it's a magical thing". “Well, that sounds a bit crazy, Red” “I did not believe the information, Just had to trust imagination, My heart going boom, boom, boom…” When, Publius, first wrote “All of you must open your minds and communicate with each other, as this is THE ONLY WAY the 'answers can be revealed” was the answer there the whole time? Was our “perception narrowed” to such a point that the answer was staring us in the face and we couldn’t accept it? If we look to the talking heads with this concept, is there symmetry there? Is it about some mystical connection between us, and where we came from? If what you are saying is true, and we look to Publius’s messages once more time, without “the Ego” will everything fall into place? > *“Pink Floyd will communicate with you.” “All of you must open your minds and communicate with each other, as this is THE ONLY WAY the 'answers can be revealed” “You have heard the message Pink Floyd has delivered, but have you listened?” Perhaps I can be your guide” “I would like to think that for all your time spent listening, discussing and thinking about Pink Floyd, you would be drawn to something unique and POTENTIALLY EXTRAORDINARY” “Do not be intimidated by the jeers of the others. Have faith and be assured that what I am about to explain IS VERY REAL.” “For those of you who choose to ignore or even ridicule this posting, it is your loss. It will be your own skepticism that precludes you from participating.” “An integral part of solving this enigma is a willingness to imagine and speculate creatively an enriching and FASINATING JOURNEY.” “A question: what exactly is a division bell and where could this lead your thoughts?” (We Are Here X) “To make further inroads into solving this enigma. Be prepared to travel!” (Seriously though, have you been moved?) “A new level of understanding. Some of you have been searching the booklet through different means, such as holding pages up to a light to see what bleeds through from the other side. Turn your attention away from these methods and REFOCUS ON THE WORDS AND THE MUSIC. SEE WHAT YOU HAVE NOT SEEN”.. > ‘High Hopes’ In one of the most fascinating spiritual books I have read, Ken Carey's "The Third Millennium", there is a passage that describes how certain angels, us among them, fell and got stuck on earth. It is narrated from the perspective of those who didn't fall: "They also found it increasingly difficult to distinguish these past impressions from their sense of self. They lost contact with the creative currents of renewal that are designed to recharge periodically all aware creatures, keeping them clear-sighted, alert, and in communion with the Source. Simultaneously, these entities, and there were many of them by now, found themselves growing bodies of increasingly dense form. Meanwhile there were others of us in these fields of dreams who watched this behavior from afar. We saw many of the playful, happy beings whom we knew as our companions and friends, one by one, becoming dull, serious, afraid. It seemed to us that a branch of our family had been infected with some strangely debilitating perceptual disorder. We attempted to communicate telepathically with them as we did with one another, but we found that we did not understand the strangely biased dialects of their now significantly altered thought processes. They thought our inability to communicate with them was due to our ignorance. Eventually they lost interest in what they came to regard as the "ethereal opinions of insubstantial entities." Yet we could see growing dis-ease and unhappiness recorded ever more graphically in their developing bodies. We saw clearly what they could no longer see: the inevitable danger that awaited them if they continued to follow such ever-narrowing identity beams all the way to their inevitable conclusion.
