Track Name: loHi Remix (produced by Illwave)
So many worlds for the mind to think about
Or just live from the heart, renunciating doubt
Walking through all realms naked in darkness
New ages unleashing nature from the harness
Fields of understanding cultivating harvest
Giving up trying to see the future the farthest
Truth is a glimpse by the sight of an artist
Trees growing branches peaceful and harmless
A universe is nobody’s in particular
Time is at the same time cyclical and linear
Species in pieces of irreverent adolescence
Awakening from sleep, to realize our presence
Circling around to the original essence
Seeds of consciousness sown to replenish
Fooled by the mind, stuck in the physical
Exponentially indivisible….

Incomprehensible inclination
People washing in waves of devastation
Desolation, radiant resonation
Laced in propagation, spiritual irrigation
Round tables of inconsiderate syndicates
Claiming innocence to proven images of immanence
Immunized in sectors of invisible bliss
Catching a gist of what was lost and missed
Experience buried in the chambers of memory
With the choice to either let it in or let it be
From this point to Venus and Mercury
To one Sun spanning to the whole galaxy
Lasting impressions of what’s beyond grasp
Mobilizing illusion into truth so fast
Not knowing all there is to ever know
Moving to and fro to let the rhyme flow
Track Name: Arriving
Luminous imminence seeking sinless innocence
Sitting in limitless peace like flowers in synthesis
Fortified divinity in a fathomless mystery
Deathless people grasping an endless misery
Mutual intimacies of illumined theocracies
Claiming democracy but lost in hypocrisy
Across the geography of earthen biology
Exercising focus to see with eyes honestly
Javelins of though with rapturous yoke
Realization is provoked activating new hope
Smiling streams of happiness from a mountain of sadness
Groping the opening to an ocean of madness
Brightened by the sparkle of ultraviolet rays
Purified by mighty dreams and waves
On a mute rolling globe full of frequency ranges
Change is when everything changes

Climb through rhyme, the medicine vine
intelligent design with the elegant divine

Getting right down to the heart of the matter
Watch the mind chatter it all turns to laughter
Thereafter it all lays a secret sweetness
Emptiness like winter trees turning leafless
Sitting with the bodiless murmur of thought
In this mud wall of self where the soul is caught
Blind limits to all that is taught
Against mortal travesty a war is being fought
And lost to a feeling of child-god happiness
Unraveling in the heart as the catalyst
Ancient ignorance facing a wounded gloom
Whatever ends, will begin again soon
On a mountainside pondering the brow of the sky
Having any how with a powerful why
Who am I? In this ineffable utterance
Blessed with much love and abundant sustenance

Climb through rhyme, the medicine vine
intelligent design with the elegant divine

Wearing a mystic mask, breathing a magic breath
In the dire duality of life and death
Right and left—in the eternals clasp
Letting out a gasp neither slow nor fast
Transient shapes moving down the wider road
In a wizard wonder world searching for the right robe
Rude awakenings and crude beginnings
Gods sitting grinning at all of their winnings
No throb of sense yet shaken with a touch
Taken with the rush of taking too much
Then retreating to intuitive aeonic silences
Contemplating behind closed eyelids what non-violence is
Making friends with the un-listening void
Traveling through space with the speed of an asteroid
Burning up around the clock of dateless time
Where it’s all-sublime like the greatest rhyme
Track Name: Menakshi
Loving you in a state of ecstatic gratitude
The love in you is infinite in longitude and latitude
Loving you because of a radical curiosity
The love in you is a constant frequency of harmony
Loving you goes beyond every old philosophy
The love in you making everything flow properly
Loving you with relentless unpretentiousness
The love in you is an independent inventiveness
Loving you is no choice or selection
The love in you is a cosmic introspection
Loving you is a world of wild discipline
The love in you in the same world we’re living in
Loving you is a practice of keeping crazed kindness
The love in you is mindful and exists in timelessness
Loving you is like building a temple of delight
To hold our magic passions and radiant light

Loving you is a glimpse of glimmering peace
The love in you accumulating into a release
Loving you is a shape with numberless sides
The love in you always finds where the truth hides
Loving you I stay in a flow of divine sway
The love in you doesn’t need any words to say
Loving you I span across the whole human scene
The love in you is serene like a sleepless dream
Loving you holding you like a momentary memory
The love in you reflecting the brilliance of the heavenly
Loving you I see you in a wordless sleep
The love in you is a vortex that goes so deep
Loving you like chanting a mantra though
Of fire intimations getting you hot

Say can’t you see by the dawn’s early light?
Feeling pulses of your heart as we dance through the night
Music is made to make everything right
Getting me high, high to the highest height
Ignite bright fires that burn within
I see you soul… when I watch you spin
Crossing paths with you once again
Is a deep connection I seek to comprehend
Even with wisdom I know nothing at all
So I fall from climbing an endless wall
Floating in clouds of air without a care
Holding your hands with wide eyes I stare
You stare back so I know that you’re here
It’s clear that things are now how they appear
We dance to the sunrise feeling the balance
Earth is our home it’s an endless palace
Track Name: Healing of the World featuring Rubina Beg, Raj Kumar, Kyle Michaud, and Trevor Ring
Mother I offer my praise to you, for the healing of the nation
Mother I offer my praise to you, for the healing of the Earth
Healing of the nation, healing of the Earth
Healing of the family, healing of the world

Feeling the grace of this gift giving the space to uplift
Breathing fire like a hidden dragon leaping off a cliff
Allies and conduits of super-mental consciousness
Traveling all continents unifying opposites
Falling bottomless illusion is ominous
Anonymous preposterous conglomerates of dominance
Killing like Kali, and rolling like molly
To quantum possibility of the physical body
Entering inner temples to watch the soul frolic
Material worlds within are only symbolic
And symbiotic, revolving patterns hypnotic
Nature is the mother; moving constant diabolic
Civilization dangles from reason and logic
Poetic symphonies resonating with harmonics
Synchronized with sun rising suffering subsiding
The higher self of spirit is always realizing

Hook

Trapped under a jealous clasp of suffering and craving
Then opening to ignite light into what’s amazing
Commemorating moments of pure serenity
Imagining a fantasy basking in infancy
Only a memory lost in calamity
Engraving words into flashes of infinity
Fierce darts piercing into an inner mightiness
Shifting swift shapes into heightened righteousness
The future marching causing new flames sparking
Language is the marking whether righting or in carving
Leaving impressions of young discovery
In subconscious subtlety that one could never see
Together all recovering from hidden ends to come
Casting a gaze to the light side of the sun
The faintest murmurings holding the last say
What was false before is surely true today

Hook
Track Name: Varanasi Astrology
How is it possible to ever discover the truth?
All I got is clues flipping ripping mics I’m busting loose
Eternal learning bodies burning holy journey spirit churning
Squirming turning money earning high vocabulary serving
No worry not in a hurry cooking it up like vegetable curry
Speak the world until the word has heard me, viewing the planet absurdly
Descending softly from the sky like a snow flurry
With the wing span of a gracious great-winged bird
Concentration, meditation, the universe I observe
In deep realms and sources for everything that occurs
Sun is flying rising setting people fretting about progressing
Suffering ending in the direction that we’re heading
I know a goddess and I love her, she the lightning I the thunder
On this day far away longing to be with each other
In my right had my father, in my left hand my mother
In my heart is my brother over galaxies I hover

Uncovering how I feel in a dream that is so real
Cleverly measure the present endeavor, onto forever
Remember to remember that this life is an adventure
Sever the self for better in the center of surrender
Opening and closing like a vibrant lotus petal
Depicting clearly I let the fog and dust settle
Soulful rebel, hearing a powerful call
That speaks to us all as we stumble and crawl
Fumbling and falling, in deep seas tossing
Ancestors speaking directly to their offspring
Launching an honoring offering karma depositing
Buildings crumbling toppling, higher consciousness promising
With eyes to see and ears to hear
With a mask a golden time approaching quite near
Shuffling through all suffering and things as they appear
On a lyrical vehicle, down rapid streams I steer
