Why is it so painful to watch a person sink? Because there is something unnatural in it, for nature demands personal progress, evolution, and every backward step means wasted energy.

A Concept Of Nature And Man!
Nature is a living scientific art God enjoys best;
Nature’s artistic evolution is God’s grand creation
Of algae, plants, fish, reptiles, birds, beasts, man and divine!
Nature is for evolution but man is for revolution to excel it;
Nature evolves his heart, mind and soul to scientists and poets;
What scientists see in parts poets see as a whole to know truth!
Energy of Nature can neither be created nor destroyed everywhere
As the activating Spirit God gravitationally balances matter and energy
By being present in all pervadingly invisible, invincible and in infinity!
Naturally evolved man has mentally grown to be a superman to develop
Spiritually himself to be a divine to reach God in communion with Nature!

One Step Ahead

Watch it!
Go!

Always gotta be one step ahead
You know where youre lying
When you make your own bed
Youll never end up in the red
So watch your step, one step ahead
Intro:
Energy up!
Bring the energy up!
On the double
Verse 1:
Steppin on toes is a common routine
Sneakin up from behind
You wont get anywhere
Dancin out of time
If youre living up to expectations
You may as well be dead
Gotta go for it - gotta go for it
Always gotta be one step ahead

Chorus:
Dont calm down
Bring the energy up
Dont depend on lady luck
Cant walk - you just run instead
If you want to be one step ahead
Verse 2:
Look over your shoulder
And predict whats to come
Youre not feeling life if youre simply numb
So dont be dumb - grab the brass ring
You really cant depend on anything
Gotta make it happen all by yourself
Why rely on anyone else?
So-
Chorus
Dont calm down
Bring the energy up
Dont depend on lady luck
Cant walk - why not run instead?
If you wanna be one step, one step ahead

This dream is holding me tight
Keeping me up all night - oh
Its not out of reach - just out of sight
Do you think Ill get it?
Think I may, say I might - oh -

Keeping me tossing and turning
Its not out of reach - just out of sight
Do you think Ill get it?
With the way Im burning
I just might!

Always gotta be one step ahead

Dont calm down, bring the energy up
You gotta go for it, go for it, go for it

I am Home in Nature
I am home in nature
I love its beauty
All of the creatures
It is like rapture
The flowing musical energy
I am home in nature
The beauty, the energy
Everyone can feel it in nature it is
All of the creatures
The leaves the various colors
The aspens, the oaks, all of the folks
I am home in nature
The world is full of beauty that we ignore
And what is hurt and ashamed of us
All of the creatures
We strayed from nature
Yet we progress “forward”
I am home in nature
And with
All of the creatures

The first step: Don’t be anxious. Nature controls it all. And before long you’ll be no one, nowhere—like Hadrian, like Augustus. The second step: Concentrate on what you have to do. Fix your eyes on it. Remind yourself that your task is to be a good human being; remind yourself what nature demands of people. Then do it.

2008: from 2001 - Just Enough To Win
No wasted energy here
You have to watch closely
Before you realize that older
And gray to playing way
Below his level
For him
It's a rather light half-court workout
Winner's outs lots of youth
He's mediator coach and
Outside go-to guy
He doesn't bang much
In the middle anymore
He's just where he needs to be
When he needs to be
Slightly above inside and
A step ahead

Be Bold!
Be Bold!
---
Baked in the galactic furnace,
projected with high velocity,
through fire and lightning,
crossing every field you are now here!
Thousand years of rain,
withstanding hard tests,
enduring action and reactions,
floods and storms you are now here!
O formless one, passing through tunnel of death,
nay, you are the input, you are the output
setting recycling process units,
on a mission you are now here!
raising and falling, recycled countless times,
cycle after cycle, witnessed evolution of nature,
it is not you evolved, but as reason for evolution,
to help nature to evolve you are here now!
Look into your own written dairy,
birth-less deathless are energy and matter,
how can be death be there to their creator?
to fill breath into nature you are now here!

Thirteen Lines
A brain peered through stoic eyes;
Yet all it saw was rendered into
Flawed interpretation –
No honoured contemplation of a
Gluon, muon, quark of any flavour;
Nor a vision or conception of its world
Within a universe anthropic in its physical laws,
Inside a boundless multiverse.
All it gleaned and modelled
Bore parochialism well beyond belief! –
Delusional perhaps.
Survival only matters here on planet Earth –
Evolution saw to that.

Golden Energy
Golden energy
For the guy or gal
Whose had a hard hard day
Golden energy
To help you meet the demands
Of an energetic mate
Or a red hot date
Golden energy dripping down on you
Golden energy
Natural aphrodisiac
Golden energy
Working hard to keep you on full
Pumping iron all the way
Keeps you from being too
Too tired
Rootin bootin sure fired
Golden energy meets all requirements
Posts no bills
Poots no guff
Needs no prescriptions
Golden energy handle if you care
If you dare
Help yourself to another share

We are so arrogant, we forget that we are not the reason for evolution, we are not the point of evolution. We are part of evolution. Unfortunately, we believe that we've been created to dominate the planet, to dominate nature. Ain't true.

Miss Understood
Beautiful person is she
Without distraction high self-esteem
Capable and Smart
Biological means little
It is he who can see
She can give more intimacy
When allowed listens sincerely
Handling life becomes easily
Manipulation fear no more
She is wonderful he observed
Shake off negativity
He has grown knowing me
Their love is unconditionally
Sister’s life in distress
Only feeds wasted energy
Positive words and wisdom

Art Consumes Flame Immortal Souls
What is the curse of no time
for any artist for all artists?
Art demands time
all consuming time
times of precise reflection
times of informative focus
times of intense productivity
times of perceptive clarity
times of felt vision testimony
times of account sensitivity
times of passion commentary
times of creative outpourings
times of artistic servitude
means art more demands
than a mere pound of flesh
art demands fibres of our being
art demands neurons identities
art demands touch sound stimuli
art demands light radiant souls
art demands devotes of the mind
art demands paid vision ransoms
art demands intense internal bleeding
art demands pain waltz symphonies
art demands epic universal certainties
art demands artists lifetime creations
art consumes flame immortal souls

Great Drawback
Wish I could say what I mean - wish I could
express my feelings, wish I had a friend who
could understand, wish there were one whom
I could trust, who had the disposition and time
to listen until I managed to say everything
Someone to help unravel the puzzle so I can
become reconciled and resigned to my fate,
to laugh at my shortcomings and tease me
for being bad; having lost the ability to talk
it is impossible to say anything – I find
Oblique reference in other people’s words;
trusting consciousness goes on after this
physical existence; free from astrogenetic
limitation in a different realm where the
spirit is free to choose its destiny
Without limitation by a million variables - my
current personality is a great drawback, a step
back in the progress of spiritual evolution; but
it will enrich awareness - though the price for
the experience gained… is painful…
…in the extreme…
(I know the fault is mine)

Energy
Every person has a spirit
Which means they can receive
Also release therefore
When you walk into an room
Are you aware what you teach?
What aura do you bring?
Because,
your energy transcends
The energy
intertwines a powerful
blend
We all have an regal calling, an
expected end
For our time on earth is simply precious
So, Let's decide to win

I am against nature. I don't dig nature at all. I think nature is very unnatural. I think the truly natural things are dreams, which nature can't touch with decay.
Evolution is fascinating to watch. To me it is the most interesting when one can observe the evolution of a single man.

Watch Your Step
Dont say a word
Dont say anything
Dont say a word
Im not even listening
I read in the paper about their escape
Theyre just two bitter kids with a bunch of sour grapes
You better watch your step
Watch whos knocking on your front door
Now you know that theyre watching
What are you waiting for?
Think youre young and original
Get out before...
They get to watch your step
Evry day is full of fun
And family spice
Theyre making heroes out of fall guys
They say its good for business
From singapore to widnes
You better watch your step
Broken noses hung up on the wall
Back slapping drinkers cheer the heavy weight brawl
So punch drunk they dont understand at all
You better watch your step
Evry night
Go out full of carna-al desires
End up in the closing time choirs
When youre kicking in the cot room
And youre drinking down the eau de cologne
And youre spitting out the kodachrome
You better watch your step
Bye
I send you all my regards
Youre so tough
Youre so hard
Listen to the hammers falling in the breakers yard
You better watch your step
You better watch your step
Ooh, watch your step

Watch Your Step
You better take it easy baby
Before you go away
You did me dirty
Youll get yours one day
Chorus:
You better
Watch your step...
Talkin about you
Watch your step...
You better
Watch your step...
Keep your eyes open wide
cause youll be hurtin down inside
You better leave me all your money
Before you go away
Dont think Im funny honey
All Ive got to say
Chorus
cause when you took your love
From me
You left me full of misery
Im gonna be all right
Chorus
When you need me by your side
Im gonna say go somewhere and hide
Watch your step...
You better watch out baby
Everything you do
Im gonna keep my eyes focused,
Right on you
You better walk right baby
Theres just one thing I know
You better watch your step...
When you need me by your side
Im gonna say go somewhere and hide

Something Absurd Keeps Going
there is something absurd
that keeps on going inside us
this constant craving for what
we do not know yet we claim we want
we feel the need and yet we cannot
really touch it and when we touch it
it gets so painful and we step a foot
backward and then we ponder and
then we go forward we first dislike
it and then we touch it again
there is this feeling that we cannot
describe with the word that we know
it is elating and elevating us one
stair up and then the winds carry us
we do not know what nowhere is
but it is there, it is there, it is....

Chakras Energy
..
Chakras are the energy
centers of which our
consciousness, or our
energy system is
composed.
These energy centers run
from the base of spine
to head or crown.
Chakras means wheel or
disc, each circular wheel
of light spins in our
energetic system.
Energy systems function
as a valve regulating
the flow of energy
through our energy system.
