What is more essential, knowledge or living? What if you could have both, now with what seems to be an evolution of consciousness?

But… can we have both while solely focusing on information, no matter whether correct or erroneous?

Consider checking out some of my related thoughts in the video below, both as for massive errors and misinformation in the “conscious community” and a mention as for what might be necessary to help lead us out of the current mess and the sheer insanity that requires us to wear a MASK and pump us up with more or less hazardous chemical drugs.

And is this really going to get better if people choose apathy, ignorance and instead live in a dream world of trying to figure out all the planets and Star-Races they presumably originate from, as opposed to standing in for their own HUMAN RIGHTS?

‘𝒞ℴ𝓂ℯ, 𝒻ℴ𝓁𝓁ℴ𝓌 𝓂ℯ,’ 𝒥ℯ𝓈𝓊𝓈 𝓈𝒶𝒾𝒹, ‘𝒶𝓃𝒹 ℐ 𝓌𝒾𝓁𝓁 𝓂𝒶𝓀ℯ 𝓎ℴ𝓊 𝒻𝒾𝓈𝒽ℯ𝓇𝓈 ℴ𝒻 𝓂ℯ𝓃.’

And following some songs by Arrested Development:

“Give a man a fish, and he’ll eat for a day
Teach him how to fish and he’ll eat forever
Give a man a fish, and he’ll eat for a day
Teach him how to fish and he’ll eat forever

Got to get political
Political I gotta get
Grown but can’t hold my own
So this government needs to be overthrown
But I tell you: Ain’t no room for gangstaz
Brothers getting jailed and mobsters own the coppers
So you, you want out of the ghetto
First, the political prisoners must be let go
And you must let go of your power master
You’ll never get out without much discipline
Raise your fist but also raise your children
So when you die the movement moves on
Coz with no revolution, ain’t no future in front o’ y’all
Direct your anger, love
Nothing’s ever built on hate, instead love
Love your life, tackle the government
The spooks that break down the door are heaven sent

Rhythm makes you move your body
Rhythm makes you move your mind
Rhythm makes your elbows groove
Rhythm makes that behind move
Rhythm makes the people move
Rhythm makes you want to move
Rhythm makes your mind soothe
Next stop is Jerusalem”

“United minds of America, Make your vocal chords reach the clouds
Touch the crowd of folks that overstand there’s no jokes
We must network together as one and
Tell the oppressor we’ll take no less than
Total justice a social setting, yo I’m betting
We can stop New World Order
Start serving liberty, may I take your order
Free political prisoners without no question
Let’s give props where due
If it was you wouldn’t you want to know
That someone cares for what you do so let’s show
Political prisoners, homeless humans, organizations, various movements that
The people in America have some discipline
To act on their belief therefore stress activism
Although you are only one person
If for truth you still thirst, well thirst then
Make the difference by joining some organization or some movement

Let me explain the powers that be, are families of power with old money
Unfortunately on their souls hangs a sold sign
and in righteous sight they are so blind
Infatuated with their power and their greed,
they don’t see that God is the answer
Greed has planted a seed within the souls of the thirteen families
Drug dealers and hustlers
All my brothers and sisters that are hustlers
Sellin’ crack cocaine to your followers, to me you’re a sell out an Uncle Tom
In the tom tom club droppin bombs
Causin’ confusion shootin’ and killin’
You’re playin’ the role putting fear in populations
Making us allow the system to “protect us”
Allowing the chicken snake to protect the chickens
Police brutality claiming victims
The powers that be may come with their solutions

But trust me their TREES bear No FRUITS
I guess that’s why I get spiritual
Spirituality supports reality no not Catholic no not Baptist
No not passive, Very active…

United minds of the Americas, minds of Africa and the Caribbean
And the Europeans and the Asians and Australians
It’s not just race we’re all in this together.”

“The great depression, everyone is in depression
No one knows exactly what’s their role
Totally confused, depressed ’cause of the news
Watch TV, more bad is what you see

Everyone’s lost and we’re looking for a savior
Everyone’s blind and we’re looking for a leader
We’ve lost our faith so we need someone to guide us
Right now, it’s so easy to be deceived

I’m climbing my soul to reach to newer levels
Reach the mountain top so I can better see
Step back and see the whole mighty picture
Gain control of my destiny

I’m climbing my soul so I can picture a solution
’Cause once I picture this I know it can be
I cannot leave my life within this uncertainty
I call on the red, and the black and green

United we stand, united we fall
United we plan as a united front
United we stand, united we fall
United we plan as a united front

This message has been brought to you by WMFW, which means “We must fight and Win.”

“Forward ever backward never
day by day through trials I trod
Always triumphant never fail
We’ve come too far to turn back now
I won’t turn back I move
My blood is thicker than the waters of any flood

Here I am facing the almighty herself
If she approves then I am saved
Clear of trouble is the path I pave
for generations to walk and run
Whether it’s in style to keep the fight
I tread these waters and make waves GOD knows
and I will fight until my dying day
and even after that my ghost resides with pride.”

And some songs from the very relevant Michael Franti & Spearhead, with the symbolism of the “spearhead”, as it seems, to be a reference to the opening of the 3rd eye.

“I wanna be standin’ next to you, standin’ next to you when the Revolution comes, when the Revolution comes.”

“We could be the healin’
When you’re feeling all alone
We could be the reason
To find the strength to carry on
In a world that’s so divided
We shall overcome
We could be the healin’
We can be the flower in the gun

Speak your truth and let your spirit fly

No one could ever take my pride from me
I’ll speak my truth and let my spirit fly

In a world that’s so divided
We shall overcome
We could be the healin’
We can be the flower in the gun
We could be the healin’
We can be the flower in the gun…”

This one should not be missed (actually none of the songs here, since they’re already some of the most essential ones).

“High time we made a stand
And shook up the views of the common man
And the love train rides from coast to coast
DJ’s the man we love the most
Could you be squeaky clean and smash any hope of democracy?
As the headline says you’re free to choose
There’s egg on your face and mud on your shoes
One of these days they’re gonna call it the blues

Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love
(Anything is possible when you’re sowing the seeds of love)
Sowing the seeds of love
(Anything is possible)

I spy tears in their eyes
They look to the skies for some kind of divine intervention
Food goes to waste, so nice to eat, so nice to taste
Politician granny with your high ideals
Have you no idea how the majority feels?
So without love and a promised land
We’re fools to the rules of a government plan
Kick out the style, bring back the jam

Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love…

Reference to the shell-symbolism:
“You’re just a shell until you decide to rebel.” ~Arrested Development “Shell”

Feel the pain, talk about it
If you’re a worried man, then shout about it
Open hearts, feel about it
Open minds, think about it
Everyone, read about it
Everyone, scream about it

Time to eat all your words
Swallow your pride
Open your eyes

High time we made a stand, time to eat all your words
And shook up the views of the common man
And I believe in love power, in love power…

An end to need
And the politics of greed
With love.”

“It is time for a Love Revolution
It is time for a new Constitution…” ~Lenny Kravitz

“Love is gentle as a rose
And love can conquer any war
It’s time to take a stand
Brothers and sisters join hands

We got to let love rule

Love transcends all space and time
And love can make a little child smile
Oh can’t you see
This won’t go wrong
But we got to be strong
We can’t do it alone

We got to let love rule…”

Animation by Nina Paley — Song “You Gotta Believe” by the Pointer Sisters

“You got to believe in somethin’
Why not believe in me?
You got to believe in somethin’
Why not believe in me?

Go on and wave your flag, brother
Start your revolution

Take the chain off your brain
Take the chain off your brain
Stop, take a look at yourself
Stop ridiculin’ everybody else…”
~Pointer Sisters
