"Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down Letting the days go by, water flowing underground Into the blue again after the money's gone Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground. Same as it ever was....."

I was listening to this song in my dreams last night. I had gone to bed with ideas of consciousness floating around. I see consciousness as a big wave, a sea, that is at the same time a drop, a sea, and a moving wave, Like the Hokusai wave above. In Each lifetime, each of us are as embodied drops of consciousness within the massive sea of consciousness. Each civilisation rides a wave as depicted in the Hokusai wave. Evermore moving,  a wave ascends, reaches its crest and then descends and crashes, while another wave ascends and moves into its place. It is a constant circulation and recirculation of consciousness. Out of the body We each are part of the consciousness of life itself, when we are in physical we are like the physical drops of a physical sea, we are quantum so we constantly blip in to physical consciousness and blip out to unphysical conscious. When Blipped IN, so to speak, we are wholly and totally within the wave of the civilisation that we are 'focussed' in and our biological physicality and psychological make up is tuned into it totally. At any one time, we are tuned into into the age/civilisation and cultural WAVE, like this one for instance, which we are not only experiencing but CONTRIBUTING to the mass energy of the wave, wholly and totally. 

it is all about waves of unfolding evolution in the physical arena, which feeds back into the unseen consciousness, from which we all originate. We are all drops of consciousness which participate in a process of unfoldment, as civilisations ascend and descend in cyclical pattern.

The trick is to get upward movement, in an upward spiral.
The trick is to get UPWARD MOVEMENT, IN AN UPWARD SPIRAL, THIS TIME.

Some times the pressure of civilisation degradation' of a deeply downswing nature.....
creating an impending psychic disaster which works on our 'biology and psychology and inner consciousness origins' in such a way....
that it CREATES MORE MOMENTUM in A swing...
that is...it produces a Counter Force Action of a massive UPswing, .
This creates the Upward Spiral wave of  Evolution.

each time we do this..

Lyrics

And you may find yourself
Living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself
In another part of the world
And you may find yourself
Behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house
With a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself, well
How did I get here?

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

And you may ask yourself
How do I work this?
And you may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house!
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife!

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was

Water dissolving and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Under the water, carry the water
Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean!
Water dissolving and water removing

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again into silent water
Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

You may ask yourself
What is that beautiful house?
You may ask yourself
Where does that highway go to?
And you may ask yourself
Am I right? Am I wrong?
And you may say yourself
"My God! What have I done?"

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Look where my hand was
Time isn't holding up
Time isn't after us
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Letting the days go by
Same as it ever was
And here the twister comes
Here comes the twister

Letting the days go by (same as it ever was)
Same as it ever was (same as it ever was)
Letting the days go by (same as it ever was)
Same as it ever was
Once in a lifetime
Let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by
