Ok, your moderator is high, again. Here's some cool lyrics for you guys from my favorite rock star! Todd (God) Rundgren I know it's a lot to read but it has deep meaning and may be helpful. It ain't the final word but it is food for thought if you like to think.
Healing ( Parts 1, 2, and 3 )
Listen, listen Listen to the voice, the voice is an illusion Listen to the voice, don't let the words confuse you 'Cause you need something to concentrate on, concentrate on me You need something to meditate on, meditate on me
Listen, listen Listen to your heart tune into the rhythm Listen to your heart beating with precision Like the waves upon the seaside, it goes on and on Like the spinning of the world, it goes on and on
Listen, listen Listen for the sound that is not in the music Only you can hear it, only you can use it It's the sound of someone breathing, it's the breath of life It's the sound that you are weaving with the thread of life
Listen, listen Listen to the sound, let nothing disturb you You are in a place where nothing can hurt you If you feel a strange sensation, it can do no harm Like the spiral of creation, it will soon move on
Where you are going you cannot take your body You are on a journey, the baggage is too heavy
You can leave your legs behind you, you will learn to fly You can leave your arms behind you, you will touch the sky You can leave your head behind you, you are thought itself You can leave the rest behind you, you are breath itself
Now you are naked, there's no one here to judge you See the clear light shining high above you Then you're floating in the silence, you are not alone For the power of your being keeps you flowing on Look upon yourself only with compassion Strip away the shell hiding your perfection Though your past was full of darkness, now the past is gone And your life is starting over when it's just begun
Now you are whole, don't you recognize it Towering eternal behind the troubled thoughts that hide it Though at times it seems so distant, it is always there When you need its peace and power, you will know it's here
Listen, listen Listen to the cry of a world that's calling to you Listen to the cry of the helpless souls that need you Though you may have trepidation you can not refuse You will find your own salvation in the path you choose
Listen, listen Listen to the voice that whispers in the silence Listen as the voice solidifies your self reliance Let the peace that you've discovered be a guiding light Let the cry that you've uncovered set the world aright
You could not be closer to your maker never more or less alone If you know thyself there's nothing else to know You are whole
Listen, listen Listen to the sound, let nothing disturb you You are in a place where nothing can hurt you If you feel a strange sensation, it can do no harm Like the spiral of creation, it will soon move on

hehe tool are highly talented musicians but they aren't the uber-spirit-gods a lot of obsessive fans make them out to be. if you want some intricately beautiful music, tool are your men but don't think maynard's "message" is meant to be taken entirely seriously

The band I think is meant to be viewed as more of a tool to question reality and the world around you. it's impossible to pinpoint maynard's message, as any form of art. but since he's so damn good at writing lyrics, millions of fitting interpretations can be drawn. beautiful amazingly talented musicians, and equally as thought-provoking lyrics.
I do agree tho. Don't put all your Tools in one basket.

Not to disabuse you of your false notions but:
1. I do not have two Doctorates. That was a joke. I do have a doctor. His name is Mengele.
2. I was referring to my state of emotion. I haven't taken any drugs for quite a while.
Sorry.

As if anyone with two doctorates from Stanford and Harvard would have time to frequent this message board as frequently as mr. mushrooms...
" yes i'm professor emeritus, a fellow, and uh...i smoke a lot of pot and mod the shroomery spirituality forum."
i suppose the fact that you believed it is a testament either to your stupidity or to Mr. Mushrooms intelligence.
