Swing Your Heartache (life's not a rehearsal)

This song seems to echo what has been going on in our time and world for a while now, in anticipation of the 'Apocalypse.' I'll let the lyrics speak for themselves.

Lyrics to Swing Your Heartache
By Young Galaxy

We do not believe that love is free
cause anything worth fighting for doesn't come for free
we believe in time that you will see
how a war might save us
how a war might save us
we believe in time that you will see
the institutions of the world will only serve to enslave us.

it's time for you and i to face the signs and realize that living's a battle
for all the times we cried and told the lies and realized life's not a rehearsal

come on babe, swing your heartache
come on babe, swing your heartache

we have learned that hope does not come cheap
we all must sacrifice in the name of our beliefs
we believe in time that you will see
the frontier is misery
the frontier is misery
what do you think it is that makes us free?
a life without boundaries if you question everything

it's time for you and i to face the signs and realize that living's a battle
for all the times we've cried and told the lies and realized life's not a rehearsal

come on babe, swing your heartache
come on babe, swing your heartache

here's something that you should know
getting older doesn't always mean you grow
turning from the shadows following behind you
to stare at the sun can easily blind you
the only way to learn, you're not afraid to die
could very well involve risking your life
despite the contradictions that these worlds imply,
you've got to live on, live on, live on.

come on babe (repeat to fade)

Disturbios en Andrómeda - Sobre un mar de ilusiones (Disturbances in Andromeda, On a Sea of Illusions)

I am posting this video since it deals with things of a mystical and Apocalyptic nature. And it is very symbolic of things going on in the undercurrent of our world today. For example, whatever title you want to give it, the figures in this video seem to symbolize the 'enlightened one' perhaps, the lighter colored figure with the long snout like nose and the hair extruding from its head. The black panther looking creature is obviously the enemy. And the sad damaged looking figure seems to me to represent humanity beaten down, and needing to be rescued. Take it as you will. But if you listen to the lyrics, it is about saying goodbye to this world, going to another one, and ultimately redemption. It is very fitting to the Apocalyptic themes abounding these days in anticipation of '2012' of whatever lies around the corner. Some believe that the Jesus Christ will return and 'Rapture' everyone away, some believe in a worldwide catastrophe culminating in worldwide destruction, some believe in War, some believe that the Aliens will arrive and either destroy or save Humanity. Whatever is the belief, I believe we are on the verge of something very new and different perhaps. The Mayans' belief of the 2012 'end of the world' may not be a literal end, but more of a beginning. It could be an 'end' yes, of the current world system, but I believe that something new will occur, although it will be like nothing we've all been expecting or imagining. But that is the good part.

The First Word Was Light...

The 18th century German/Czech philosopher/poet and religious mystic Rainer Maria Rilke wrote a series of Love Poems to God and one of them is here. This particular selection can be found in the Rilke's Book of Hours. I thought it was significant and should be posted here. At first, I am only going to post the poem and leave the meaning out, letting those who read it to interpret for themselves. Later, I may include my interpretation. Although I think when it comes to things like this, everyone should form their own opinion.

Your first word of all was light.
and time began. Then for long you were silent.

Your second word was man, and fear began,
which grips us still.

Are you about to speak again?
I don't want your third word.

Sometimes I pray: Please don't talk.
Let all your doing be by gesture only.
Go on writing in faces and stone
what your silence means.

Be our refuge from the wrath.
that drove us out of Paradise.

Be our shepherd, but never call us -
we can't bear to know what's ahead.

The Keys of Life

An extremely talented and uniquely creative 'New Wave' avant-garde performer from the late 70's and early 80's known as Klaus Nomi, who seemed otherworldly himself, used to sing this song. It seems to have special esoteric meaning for us and our world today. It seems almost like a warning from beyond, from outer space to our earth. A photographer once described him as 'androgynous' but not so much as in male/female, as much as alien/human. I agree, there was something different about him. Very special. Klaus even had a byline attached to his persona which was 'He came from outer space to save the human race.' I wonder if there will be any extra-terrestrial beings that will come to save us when our world and we start to falter. Anyway, these words are so prescient and universally significant, I thought I should post them here. Whether you believe in the extra-terrestrial quality of the person or song or not, these words are impactful and thought-provoking.

Keys of Life

From ancient worlds I come
To see what man has done
What's fact and what is fiction
To judge the contradiction

(Keys of life, keys of life)

The future has begun
Much work has to be done
You're running out of time
Beware the silent sign

(Keys of life, keys of life)

Exploring new dimensions
New lifestyle my intention
Do not ignore advice!
You hold the keys of life

(Keys of life, keys of life, keys of life, keys of life)

There are numerous stories, ancient and modern, of space beings that have come to the earth to help or seed humankind. Nomi in this song is portraying one of these beings, one who has 'come from ancient worlds' to see what man has done." Time travel? Most certainly space travel. "What's fact and what is fiction" is very significant because there has been much deception over the millenia, since the beginning of recorded time of humanity, and many esoteric and alternative researchers believe that religion has been placed in humanity's hands as a way to manipulate and control them. "To judge the contradiction" sounds like the 'angelic' beings or perhaps extra-terrestrial beings that will come to earth in the last days, after the so-called Apocalypse to 'judge' what has happened. Going along with the concept of humanity being deceived, maybe since the 'beginning' in the Garden of Eden by the Serpent, I don't think that Humanity needs to be afraid of this 'Judging' for it is not about us, but about the ones that have deceived us all along and keep trying to deceive us for their own deeply sinister purposes. (See David Icke for more information). But those who have kept us in the dark so to speak and deceived us and keep deceiving us will get their just deserve and we, Humanity, will finally be able to live in true Peace.

When the song says

The future has begun
Much work has to be done

that to me signifies that we as humanity must also take part in this 'revolution' this turn around of Civilization, Life as we know it. We cannot just stand idly by and let 'God' come down and do what 'he' would do. That is the old way. We must take matters into our own hands. For 'much work has to be done.' I think that is what a lot of us are doing now. Saying the 'future has begun' is really saying that Time is one, yet, we almost don't have enough time, we have to start whatever it is now. For we're 'running out of time, Beware the silent sign.' That to me means that we may not even know when the End is near, or has begun, it may almost be imperceptible. We need to be aware and awake and discern the signs and the truth.

Exploring new dimensions
New lifestyle my intention

That new way of life that the 'Apocalypse' or 'New Age' is supposed to bring is part of all of this. And we must have 'intention' in it, not just again idly stand by or do nothing or whatever. But we must have intention in what we are doing.

Do not ignore advice!
You hold the keys of life

These last lyrics are important to me because they signify that we are given advice and wisdom and clues as to what we must do and we should listen! Because we, not some outer being, but 'we' hold the 'keys of life.' Of course keeping within the conjecture of the article, if we have been deceived all along, perhaps we have not been aware that we could change ourselves and our world all along. But this song seems to be telling us that we do and we can. We have the power, but we must find it and know that it is there and then use it. We 'hold the keys of life.'

Here is the video, so you can hear the music. Klaus sings it in a very interesting way as well, very 'alien-like.'

Mind Control through Entertainment

It's all hype, propaganda, illusion and pretense. Pomp and Circumstance. You must penetrate beneath the veil to see the Truth..we must educate ourselves and our children, we must take matters into our own hands. If we keep saying why don't 'they' do this or why don't 'they' do that, well 'they' have been doing something all along WE have been doing nothing but going along! If we don't start doing something for ourselves and each other, and keep giving our rights, responsibility and power away then it will all be taken away and we will deserve it! At the very least, we won't be able to do anything about it, it might be too late. We will have brought the 'Apocalypse' upon ourselves. It is not some kind of 'outer' force, but ourselves that we must elevate to the higher realms. Then the Force of the Universe will do the rest.. that's what I think.. What do you think...?

I also say if it's all a 'Show' then let's enjoy the show yet know what it is and also that we may be part of the Show so let's do our parts to the best of our ability! What are our parts in this great pageantry? What is our purpose? That is what we must find out.. let's just not let some 'outer authority' tell us what we should or should not do, think or say.. let us make the decisions for ourselves. That is true liberty and free will, which is an inborn right, the most primal right of humanity. We are born with Free Will, that is why 'God' does not interfere and why there are so many problems in the World, he wants us to have our Free Will, which is so much more important than forcing someone, but we just haven't caught on yet.. but we as a whole are starting to do that, we are starting to wake up from the Matrix.. slowly but surely, as I look at a lot of the articles and comments on different websites, I see much progress, it is very encouraging indeed.. let's keep it up.!

Occult Meanings of Beyonce's 'Sweet Dreams' Video: the White Horse

The following article is in response to Vigilant Citizen's analysis of Beyonce's Sweet Dreams Video. You should really read Vigilant Citizen's article first to get an idea of what I am responding to.

http://vigilantcitizen.com/?p=2153
http://vigilantcitizen.com/

There are numerous symbols in this video, but this article is focusing on only one for now: the white horse. I was reading through some comments on this video on youtube and someone mentioned the white horse running across the scene when Beyonce first goes to 'the land of the sun' and begins her 'Sun dance' at about 39 or 40 seconds in. Funny how the comment seems to be gone now on the site (I can't find it!), when I only saw it about a couple of hours ago.. hmm, coincidence or...? The powers that be do not want people looking into the real meanings of the music? Anyway, a white horse represents many things, here are some thoughts:

http://www.whats-your-sign.com/horse-symbol-meanings.html

This is the most interesting part and I think pertains to this article:

"The Horse symbol meanings of power are widespread through most cultures, and it is linked as an emblem of life-force. Many cultures assign the attributes of the four elements to the Horse: Earth, Fire, Air, and Water.

As a Celtic symbol,the Horse was associated with war. With war, comes attributes of victory, conquer, longevity as well as procurement of territory and other spoils that come with triumph in battle.

All of these heady aspects of valor were associated with the Horse in Celt animal symbolism. In fact, so much so, the Celts hailed the Horse as the beast belonging to the sun god, and assigned it a place with the goddess Epona (see Celtic Gods & Goddesses for more information on Epona).

The Greco-Romans also associated the Horse with the spoils of war and attributed it to symbolism such as power, victory, honor, domination and virility. In Greco-Roman myth the Horse is said to be created by Poseidon (Neptune) and is devoted to Hades (Pluto) and Ares (Mars). Romans also believed the Horse to be a symbol of the continuity of life, and would sacrifice a horse to the god Mars every October, keeping its tail through the winter as a sign of fertility and rebirth."

Towards the end of that article, it says that a horse of a different color represents this:

What about a horse of a different color? The color of the Horse is also steeped with symbol meanings. Here are the most common color meanings for the Horse:

* Black Horse:
Mystery, death, night, secret, messenger of esoteric knowledge

* White Horse:
Light, sun, day, vitality, illumination, resurrection, messenger of birth

Hmmm, interesting since Beyonce is dancing in the 'land of the sun' as I call it. (Inspired by the video posted at the end of the article where someone analyzes the video and makes comments.) Perhaps the white horse symbolizes the Beyonce video character being 'reborn' (see above paragraphs) as the white horse is also a 'messenger of birth.' If what Vigilant says in his article is true, then perhaps the white horse represents 'Beyonce' being reborn in the 'Land of the Sun' now that she is under the possession of whoever it is in the video?

Does the white horse running across the way indicate the 'pale horse of the apocalypse' as well? Does that symbolize war? According to the above article, it apparently does. But what does that mean in the video if the white horse is running across the 'land of the Sun (God)?' I am not sure, I will think about it and you the reader are free to think about it as well.
