    This is a very good lecture about how we all should walk through life. As I have been a very sensitive person from very young on, I have always had the sensation that we all play roles on this stage called life. But we are not constrained to play a role which we don’t want to play or which does not correspond to our inner selves. We can always choose a different role, one that corresponds to our identity.
    Be authentic in whatever you do and don’t play roles which society expect from you! You live only once, so simply life according to your own “self”!

    Really Alan just put off some of my beliefs and gave me answers to unoutspoken questions. I think that something like this should teached in schools for our kids.
    It would set us free.

  • @heretohavefun5646
    @heretohavefun5646 3 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    All of this lies in my minds eye
    all of the lies are in flight
    I look at the sky but it doesn't look back
    I look to the ground to which I am bound
    Everything all around is churning, all from the sky to the ground
    I look around to find my way, but I'm lost
    wish I could fly away.
    Now I turn around and see many people, all speaking out from a script
    Why can't I find, a single mind
    free from this structure of madness
    Words come from my mouth from my soul
    Words drop from my bones like a scroll
    I look around and try to find
    A single soul who sees the lies
    The sky moves, and so do I
    Wish I could fly away so far
    but Here I am today.
    Everything I am is all locked within, can't find it outside me at all
    I look all around and find what is not, everything looks just like shadows
    Here I lie, I feel like a fly in a web
    Stuck in a muck
    What if I rust away?
    All around, I see Atoms flying past my face
    All about me people walk, people talk but no one sings
    Why can't they see?
    Words fly from my lips, screaming for life to touch
    Ears they do reach, which take them in but their eyes do not see.
    Day after day, I'm trapped in a cage
    Stuck all alone in a Web
    no matter how much I try, I can't learn to fly. Chaos swirling all around, masking itself as a crown
    My Eyes can't take to see, this utter blasphemy. What a Mayhem to be.
    The beauty of the sky, stretches far and wide
    The glory of the Lights are dancing in the sky
    why do I see you when no one else can?
    Is it me who is crazy or is it the land?
    And one day will I find the door, out from wonderland?
    One day will I find myself, back where I can dance?
    Here I am today, still looking for my way
    And I'm so lost wish I had a bed to stay, perhaps oneday I will find the way
    wake up from this silly play
    dance about and sing all day
    but for now I'm here today
    And could it be true that one day I will be free?
    The world around, it's all so wrong
    I feel it through my skin
    And when will I find a pair of eyes, in which I can dive in? Is everyone around me dead? are all of you just in my head? Will I wake up, safe in my bed? right where I belong
    back home, where I long for
    where I belong for
    where I belong to be
    Here I lie my soul inside, trapped in a cage with eyes
    Stuck in a world with such a sad story
    Trapped in a place where I can't fly
    Everything here to which I can't count
    Why am I here?
    Why aren't I found?
    Why can't I fly?
    Where is the Crown?
    Why is my life, all the way bound
    into a cage without a route?
    Why can't I see, before my birth?
    What was I then? What was life worth?
    Why is the sky, so tightly held?
    Why does my mind come to a stop, when I try to remember when this was not?
    I can't explain this inside pain
    You could not understand
    because words are plain,
    and they can't take and show you me; what I Am internally.
    I know so far you are confused, as it always is.
    I cannot show what doesn't grow, what has no start or end.
    I guess all there is, is push on through
    trust that life has a plan
    But what if I choose a lie? What if I make a mess?
    What if life, is more than I can right now clearly see?
    What if I have truly fallen from my mother tree?
    I'm falling down a steep steep hill, locked in gravity's grasp
    I cry and scream for that warm love that is my mother's branch
    But now I'm fallen from the tree, falling very fast
    The bottom getting closer quickly
    There I'll die and rot so swiftly
    In the blink of an eye, I'll be in a well
    Unable to move, or cry out for help
    Here I am, in a strange world of lies
    Do I truly belong here?
    Is this where I die?
    Everyone rushing past me, fast
    like they have someplace to go
    but there's nowhere to go
    And why can't I find what I'm looking for, am I truly gone?
    I don't even know what it is that I want
    All of my mind is stuck in a line
    all stretching out from a start
    But what was I then, was I simply not?
    My Mind cannot fathom that far.
    Here I am, inside a body
    Locked inside these Eyes
    No one sees behind the lies that press so close against my thighs
    I wish I could fly away.
    Something is missing but I don't know what
    Something is hidden my mind can't find
    Here I am in a world without rhyme
    Am I running out of time?
    To earth I am bound, but by what I don't know
    Surrounded by these big black shadows
    What brought me here?
    Can I get out?
    Is there a way without a doubt?
    Will I one day fly out of the trap of these bones and eyes?
    Will I truly wake up and realize what a silly ply that was the lie that I would never wake?
    But what if it is a mistake?
