A Song To Bob Dylan
from jwhooperswan
Is there an observation, an observation pure and true?
One the scientist can never reproduce with her instruments not even the most advanced and expensive telescopes and robots equipped with a computerized slide rule?
Did the child say the emperor is naked and did he notice it to be so in spite of any lesson that was taught to him at school?
How many times must an innocent say what simply is before us all to be a-seein’ before
every scientist admits I am blind, I am a fool?
And hasten to ask forgiveness and bow before the child inside each one of us who sees with a light that’s pure and true?
A Thousand years ago the American Indian told whites…who would not listen…the Earth is our Mother and still we look to science to save us at the brink of what those learned in the name of progress have brought the whole world to.
While the scientist searches for the light at the end of the tunnel the innocent one who observes the obvious reports there is no tunnel
if you humbly look at what clearly lies before you not covered up by all the many words you were forced to learn in school.
It has taken me a lifetime to hear the answer that has all along been blowin’ in the wind
It took that long for me to learn enough about how far intuition can extend.
All of us will end the wars, put a stop to suffering, by grokking the simple truth we need nobody else to save us we are and always have been sufficient to that end. (end song)
(spoken) A lone scientist at Columbia told his classes every semester that all would receive an A in his course and only those who wished to learn were invited to bother to further attend. In that same way, this song is informing you that your initial intuition is to be honored above all thought driven rules, beliefs, and opinions if we are to find the life we’re all dreaming for. And any who do so honor intuition will find.
That same professor and scientist made the observation that “Nobody Wanted a Light Bulb!” It is not science that serves our dream. Science serves money and personal prestige. And politicians pass out both. And they work for Corporate Giants. Who, then, must you look to to make your dream come true?
That same professor was a musician and songwriter. He rewrote the Star Spangled Banner to make it easier to sing, saying: Do not blame the singers, if the song is poorly written, rewrite the song. Just make it easier for everybody to sing along. Is that not the dream?
